March Forth

Today's date is a command.

March forth.

The perfect day for me to start my new lifestyle.

New me,

let's go.

it snowed last night and we have a birthday boy!

I was falling asleep last night, 

doing my daily bedtime routine,

skimming through instagram one last time, 

when it happened.

I saw a friend's picture of snow in a nearby city.

I quickly checked my phone weather app

and once I saw the snowflake symbol,

I freaked.

The distance between my bed and the front door is about 20 big steps.

It took me 2.

Our front yard was covered and huge snowflakes kept coming down.

My first official snow as a Tennessee-en.

There something so peaceful about snow falling.

Especially at night.

I ran back inside, screaming for Brandon to hurry and come look.

He was in the shower and I couldn't wait for him.

I put on my rainboots and jacket 

(The first trip outside was a little uncomfortable being barefoot in my pajama shorts and shirts)

and ran back outside to instagram every moment.

(It's what you have to do, right?)

After an hour or so and after much coaxing from Husband, 

I finally came back inside and prayed it would last until morning.

I woke up and happily noticed that it stayed all night.

I'd like to think it's just for me, but since it's Husband's birthday,

I'll say it's all for him.

Oh yeah, it's Brandon's birthday!

Happy 28th, Handsome.

To celebrate, I got up extra early to make him a birthday breakfast.

(And to play in the snow...)

Chocolate chip pancakes (why are pancakes so hard to make?)

Cheesy eggs.

Bacon.

Tonight, we are eating out with some super awesome friends

and I cannot wait to spend the day being extra sweet and thankful 

for my hottie of a man.

That last picture cracks me up. 

Whenever Husband and I try to snuggle, Bailee has to squeeze in.

Every. Single. Time.

Our Saturday (a video)

sleeping in. puppy snuggles. new friends.

mexican food. lazy rides. 

milkshakes. movies.

perfect.

Joy Filled Friday

It has been way too long since I've done my "joys." New year, fresh start, bring back the "joys!"

1 finally moving back to a state where snow is expected 2 printers 3 colored leggings 4 brown nail polish 5 pizza delivery 6 the face people get when I tell them I was a character at Disney (did you guys know that? I don't think I ever told the blog world...I'll have to post on that soon!) 7 sweet cream flavored frozen yogurt 8 wood wick candles ( I seriously take mine with me around the house, room to room.) 9 red hangers (they make our closet look so fun! Maybe that will help motivate me to hang up clothes. Doubt it.) 10 Candy Crush

Happy weekend, friends!

My Friday Night

Literally, a kid in a candy store.

2 for 20 meal at Chili's

and

walking around the mall like the "cool kids" do.

Then, an amazing display of God's awesome-ness...

Perfect.

my happy little life...

1-2 Husband and boy-in-loves went to a Nascar race. I spent about 10 minutes trying to see them live. Longest I've ever watched a race in my life.

1-What started as a creepy tracing of a LifeWay bag, ended up being an even creepier self portrait.

2-Naptime, aka the best 2 hours of the day! 

1-I forgot to bring a change of clothes to work one day, so I asked Husband to grab a dress. Not fully trusting his fashion sense, I told him to send me a picture. This is what I got. He's a keeper.

2-I love lazy days with my girls.

1-I always wanted big eyes. Yeah? Yeah?!

2-Love, love, love spending time at our sweet, sweet church!

1-The beautiful Alabama sky!

2-Youth Week 2012. Special guests: Rush of Fools. They were so amazing on and off the stage. They joined in the crazy games and weren't stand offish like some big time bands can be (even Christian ones, sadly.)

1- Stormy night in Graceville. My little red bug got a nice washin'.

2- Big news in this small town, a cow got loose! Call the fire department! Call the police! Stop all traffic! By the way, I'm pretty sure they got him and nobody (or cow) was harmed!

1-I just had to laugh when I saw these new cards in WalMart. I apologize if you like him, but I personally believe these should be in the humor section.

2- Little girl will do anything for love and attention. Even let me pile clothes on top of her when she's in my way. "Am I doing good, Mommy?"

1-Evidence of being a youth pastor #35353- Pizza places know you by name.

2-New favorite tshirt. Hands down.

1-I switched pre-schools and now I teach for this cute place!

2-After a day of teaching at said pre-school, this is my daily pick-me-up.
