My week in pictures

This is how I spend the majority of my week! Nothing too exciting but I still wanted to share!

Holt is 2, almost 3, and he is going to be Nemo for Halloween. His costume showed up Monday and he was so excited! Who wouldn't give candy to this sweet face?

I finally met little Miss Emily. My friend, Amanda, and I had lunch on Tuesday and caught up on life while Emily slept. Thank goodness she woke up in time for me to hold her!

Carpool. If you are not a parent or a nanny then you may not understand but look at the next picture....

Holt hates waiting in the line as much as I do!



Wednesday night Cameron and I finally saw The Bounty Hunter and I was so disappointed. That's all I have to say.

One of our dogs, Belle. She sleeps like this every day on the couch....spoiled and a little lazy!

How weird do the clouds look? This was Thursday morning. It's actually kind of cool!

Locke does not really like to take pictures. He'd rather be silly! We had a picnic at the park on Friday!

My giant sweet tea. Yum!


Sometimes they get along and it's really nice but then 5 minutes later they hate each other...no pictures of that but trust me, it happens!


Me and my boys! I love my job!

Me and Locke!

Me and Holt!

Then after a great Friday, I got stuck in the worst traffic I've been seen in a long time. It already takes me and hour to get home and it took me over 2! Ugh!!!

Had to work saturday for a few hours and we spent time at Toy's R Us playing with trains!!

Coupons

I have never been a big coupon user. Kroger sends me coupons in the mail and we use those but they are few and far between.

However, I was with my friend, Cassie and she enlightened me. I have now spent time online looking at coupons! It's really kind of fun! I know that might make me a nerd.

I registered my Kroger Plus card and added coupons to that this morning and if I were to use them all in one trip, which I don't think I would, but if I did, I would save $55! So, later today I am going to print off more coupons for a few other stores and see what I can save this weekend when we go shopping!

My husband might call me crazy but in this crazy economy anything we can do to save a few bucks is better than nothing!

Randomness

~I straightened my hair for the first time today in a VERY long time and it is very long. Longer than it's been in a few years.

~I realized that maybe I should cut my hair all off...

~My husband really likes me with long hair but he doesn't have to fix it and I always wear it in ponytails or go to sleep with it wet. I NEVER "fix" it.

~I had lunch with one of my oldest friends today...and her sweet little babe!

~I might now have a tiny bit of baby fever.

~It made me wish that I stayed in better contact with my friends...I am trying!

~I really want to go to a braves game with friends. We keep talking about it but never follow through.

~I also really want to go on vacation with my husband. Just somewhere for a weekend. Nashville would be nice.

~My sister just bought a house and is in the process of fixing it up. this has caused me to want to redecorate my house.

~I have spent a lot of time looking for inspiration photos for our dining room, guest room, and master bedroom.

~We need better jobs to finance all of these dreams and wishes.

~ I am going back to school in January. I have no idea what for but that's ok. Pretty sure the hubby is going back too. this should be interesting!

Labor Day

We spent our Labor Day at my in-laws house. Lucky for us they live on a private lake. Unlucky for us, the temp was actually below 90 so the water was a bit chilly. I think I stayed in for all of 5 minutes before I jumped out!

I decided to take most of the pictures with my I-phone because I wanted to play around with the shake-it app, which I love. My husband did take a lot of pictures with our Rebel but these were more fun!

Way off in the distance is an actual water car. They kept going across the lake and driving off and then rushing back into the water. Kinda cool. The water looks really blue too! It was a beautiful labor day in Georgia!

My sweet husband. this was after he tried to get one of our dogs to "get the ball." She would not!

This is Puppy. She likes to roll around in the sand.

Elephant ears. Not sure if that's the real name but that's what we call them. My in-laws have a water feature and these have taken over. They just sprout up whereever they please. i love them because they blow in the wind. And they are huge. some are bigger than my head! I'm a nerd!

Another view of the lake. It really was a pretty day. And very calm.

Andrew and Molly (my brother-in-law and sister-in-law) and one of their dogs, Jasmine. She had worn out the pads on her paws so they were trying to put baby socks on her. It didn't work.

Molly was throwing the ball for all four dogs. We have 2 and they have 2. It's a lot of legs running around!

Cameron and Andrew.

Just a pretty view walking down the driveway. Cameron had wanted to stay home but I was so excited to get outside!

Butterfly!

This is Lucy, my in-laws yorkie. Her chip had just fallen out of her mouth. I thought this was funny!

Last but not least, me and my hubby. Not the best picture but hey, it's still a picture!

Ready For Fall

I am so unbelievably ready for fall that I almost can't stand it. I even painted my toenails a nice, plum shade last night. My husband made fun of me but I like how they look!!

So today I thought that I would post a few things I hope find a way into my closet this fall! Fingers crossed!

I am a huge J. Crew fan and I love this cardigan. The collar is really big and it gives it some character! Looks cozy. I actually like the whole outfit. The layers are great! So is the jewelry!

Aren't these boots from Anthropologie fantastic? I am in love with them! The heel is not high and the bows are awesome!








This blouse is beautiful. I work with kids but I try not to dress like a bum because then I feel like a bum and that is no way to feel all day long. It's also from Anthro.






Love this whole outfit. It's put together and polished but still looks comfortable. I think that i could chase kids around all day but run out and grab dinner with friends or my husband. Anthropologie rocks!

Having a hard time narrowing it down the just a few pieces. gap has some nice things too. The problem is that right now, as I'm typing this, it's 95 degrees outside. Ugh! We are having a little bit of a cool down this week but it's Georgia, the weather is very unpredictable. I'll just keep dreaming for now!!

Celebrating 3 years!

Our 3 year anniversary is tomorrow but since we will both be at work we decided that we would celebrate it on Saturday! The original plan was to go to lunch and then to see Inception but I am not so smart and I looked at the times for the wrong theater so we never made it to the movie. :(

Oh well, the day turned out wonderful anyway!

This is at Cameron's parents house. We wound up over there for dinner and an evening swim in the lake!


We decided on a Japaneses steakhouse for lunch so that Cameon could have sushi. Sorry for the poor quality, my Iphone doesn't take the best pictures!

Cameron's not the biggest fan of having his picture taken. Not sure what he's thinking about...maybe he wants to pound me!! Hope not!!

Cameron's parents live on a private ski lake. It was nice and calm which is quite surprising on a Saturday evening but it was nice for us!

He's so handsome!

I may be the aspiring photographer but Cameron's not too shabby!!

Tomorrow I will have pictures from our wedding. Our photographer was not so great but some of the pictures are ok.

3 years ago...

It's hard to believe that 3 years ago I was getting ready to marry my best friend! Our wedding wasn't quite what I imagined it would be but the end result is exactly what I always wished for! We got married at The King and Prince on St. Simon Island, Ga.

This is my favorite picture from our wedding and it was my idea to do this. I am so happy with how it turned out.

Not sure what we were laughing at but it must have been funny!

The window behind us was a beautiful stained glass window.

We don't look too shabby here! I loved my wedding dress. It was from JCrew but I got it off ebay for about half the price!

My feet were killing me by the time we took this picture but I like the feel of it!

Again, our photographer was not the best and he did not get any pictures of the ceremony worth keeping, not even of our first kiss, but that's not what matters! What matters is that we were married and that we are still going strong.
