My Oh So Busy Wedding Weekend

This weekend was crazy, but so much fun! The weekend pretty much started Thursday night when my girl Lindsey came into town from Memphis for our friend Kim's wedding weekend. We all gathered at the place her reception was at and put the tables and arrangements together. Kim is a very shabby chic type gal, so it was a wedding that matched her personality to a T. Afterwards me and my sister in law Tiff & my brother & Linz enjoyed dinner at Chillis! My girlfriends kept texting saying they wanted us to meet them out so they could meet Linz, so we did that after Chillis. It was so much fun. Us girls all cut up on the dance floor to some fun live music! There was about 9 of us girls having a ball!

The wedding was Friday. I did the bride's make-up and her step-daughter Melissa's make-up. They look so much alike it's not even funny. It was exciting! We all had a good time getting ready. The wedding was at 5:30 at this adorable chapel in Fayetteville. It was so quaint, & perfect. The reception followed at this Bed & Breakfast in this old home. It was adorable. We all enjoyed cutting up on the dance floor for HOURS! My little toes still hurt! It was wonderful and lots of memories!

Of course Saturday was Trick-or-Treating time but I am going to do a whole other post on this because we also ventured over to Eureka Springs and I have way too many pictures to share.. of my ladybug! More to come!

Happy Halloween

Last night was our friend Kim & Patrick's wedding. We have some fun pictures but only had time to post a few! For now, here is a picture of me and my best friend, Lindsey, dancing the night away . . .

Happy Halloween!!!

A little prayer

Hello Friends.... I know, I am posting another post in the same day, but my heart is so heavy tonight. I am dealing with some strong emotions after breastfeeding which they say happens. I feel CRAZY again, HA! Very hormonal!!! Crazy how our bodies change. I have been doing a lot of reading on it and I am just trying to take one day at a time. I am so happy all the time, so the up and down's are taking a toll on me.

But also I want to ask that you all pray for my mother. She is okay so please do not worry. But she is going to be having some things done tomorrow and I just pray that God's hands will be over her and that the results will be nothing but perfect, & far from what it could be. I love my mother and praise God for our relationship. She has helped guide me to be the mom I am now today. I don't want to go too deep into the situation...But truly just ask that you pray for my mom.

Love ya'll & thanks for the prayers!!!

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him; according to HIS purpose"

Picture of the Day

I just love this picture of me and my husband & Avery. Just wanted to say "Happy Fall"!

I also want to add... you never know what people are going through in life... they could be struggling with cancer, a sick family memeber, or even a dying loved one. You shouldn't ever treat someone less than the best and say things that hurt people for no reason. I challenge you all today to think positive and LOVE LIFE! Always be kind to strangers because you never know what life is throwing their way & being rude could truly hurt them. The world is an ugly place. I choose to make mine a happy place so I hope you all will join in and love life as much as I do.

XOXO!

WHY do I blog?

I love my best friend Lindsey. We went to High School together and grew even closer during college. I even moved to Memphis whenever she moved there to experience being on my own. We had a blast together & have memories I will never forget!

So why do I blog? I blog so that I have a journal of my life for my daughter, and also for all the family members that I have that live miles away from us. I blog for those who have never met her so they can see what we are always up to. I hate scrap-booking and this is my way of capturing EVERY memory! After all, they grow way too fast. Another fun reason to blog is exactly the reason I did this post. For my friend Lindsey. I love that she is able to keep up with our everyday life over 300 miles away from me. It's so hard living in separate states but knowing I can get on here and read what she did the day before or even see her fun creativity puts a big smile on my face!

I love you Linz!!! See you Thursday!

Always cuttin' up on the dance floor!

She was so beautiful getting ready for her wedding!

Linz & her husband enjoying the night together:

Her and my hubbs dancing at her wedding... which was amazing by the way!

She was in town for my wedding shower:

Friends even when the "choker" necklaces were in style:

One weekend she came to Arkansas and I arranged massages!

This was taken in Memphis at a place called, "Blue Fin"- we love this place!

This picture was taken in a parking lot before she left town one time... we always take pics upon her arrival, and when she leaves:

Family Day Shopping!!!

Today was a family day! Chad's Aunt Sydney drove an hour 1/2 from Greenwood to see me & my sister in law Kara, her daughter Stella, & me and Avery! Our cousin Mandy came too!!! We all enjoyed lunch at Mimi's and playing with the babies. Shopping was following, we were looking for Mandy some cute boots!! It was such a lovely day. I am so blessed to have great family through my husbands family... God is good to me... SO GOOD!

This week looks to be busy! My best friend Lindsey is coming into town to see me and go to our friend Kim's wedding on Friday! It's going to be a busy yet eventful week! I can't wait to see everyone!
