This weekend we are off to visit my in-loves!
When I say we, I mean, myself, Husband, Brother, Friends 1 and 2, plus puppies 1 and 2.
All crammed (with our luggage) in one tiny Honda Civic.
It could be worse, we could be taking my little red bug.
That'd be interesting.
Anyways, the reason for our travel is so exciting!
My brother-in-love (Husband's brother) is getting married in one month!
So, wedding shower for the soon-to-be Sister-in-love is top priority on the weekend agenda.
With the occasionally movie, disc golf, and a high school musical (not THE High School Musical), this weekend is sure to be a blast.

It's just what the doctor ordered. I lovelove getaways!

A big fat thanks to all that left sweet words on my last blog. 

Things are pretty hectic still, but as I am constantly reminded, God is in control! 

Despite the craziness, Husband and I have been trying to go "out" as much as possible. 

Last week we went out to the local drugstore for their old fashion milkshakes. 

dee.lish. 

Since I took a little break from blogging, I missed doing anything on here for Valentine's Day! 

Soooo, you get to look at VDay pictures 2 days late. 

Yay!

Husband woke up super early to go to work. 

I woke up to let the puppies out and found this sitting on the couch! 

I LOVE sock monkeys. 

Probably more than normal people. 

Husband got me a yellow striped one, it's perfect.

Then, when I went to get some milk, I found these! 

A rose and some fruit! 

Also, in my sock monkey's arms was a stuffed hedgehog. 

I've been dropping hints like crazy that I wanted one, I even posted it on Facebook...

and even though this one's not real, it'll last me until I get one!

My gift to Husband, "52 Reasons Why I Love You." Thank-you, Pinterest!

Followed by some lobster ravioli, Dothan trip for desserts and shopping, we spent the rest of the night snuggled on the couch watching the newest Twilight (lamest movie ever...btw. Sorry if you're a fan!)

I wish everyday were Valentine's. 

I'm okay with having a free pass to be obnoxiously in love and showering that all over everyone. 

I think I'll continue doing that anyway!

P.S. I wanted to give a huge congrats to ALL (I mean all...it's in the air I think!) of my mommy-to-be blog friends. 

I'm super excited for you guys. 

blank...

There are about one million things running(no...stomping) in my head and I don't even know where to begin to start. Sometimes All the time, I have to stop myself from thinking I can only post happy/cheerful things on here. I want this blog to be a reflection of my life. My life is not always fun. I don't always have amazing days. I never really go out for awesome adventures, and I don't always have the coolest pictures.

I want things, but I don't know how to go about them.

I don't know how to write them.

So, it's all blank.

I'd like for this blog to take off...but how?

I'd like to have a full time job, that isn't teaching...but what?

I wish to be more financially stable...but how?

I want______...but when? How?

I draw up blanks.

Usually this is where I'd intervene with what God has shown me recently that applies to this struggle, but again...blank.

This is my cry:

I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay
The last thing I need is to be heard
But to hear what You would say

P.S. I have a very strong desire to change up my little blog. Problem is, I have tons of ideas but no smarts to figure out how to make them work! Any help out there?!

Husband turns 27!

Happy Birthday, Handsome!

Now, we put the spotlight back where it belongs.
