I wanted to wish my wonderful husband a happy wedding anniversary! 13 years! Here’s a pic of us at our reception, before it started pouring down rain. Here’s an anniversary prayer I found recently. Lord, help us to remember when we first met and the strong love that grew between us. To work that love into practical things so nothing can divide us. We ask for words both kind and loving, and for hearts always ready to ask forgiveness as well as to forgive. Dear Lord, we put our marriage... (more...)

I mentioned in a previous post that I have beens super busy. Usually when I do the soccer pics for TV Boy’s Soccer League, I don’t get around to getting his picture. Well, this season he made sure that I did, because he wants to have new pics for his profile on the Thunder website. Thought I’d share… Tomorrow he is participating in his first school related sport, Cross Country. He’ll be running a mile and half. Go Tigers! AKPC_IDS += "6208,";Popularity:... (more...)

Like I mentioned in my last post, I’ve been super busy with soccer league pictures. I finished up last night with taking the pictures. Now I’ve got to finish going through the pictures, editing, posting to galleries, sending emails, and placing orders. Then, start deliveries. Lots of work. I’m just happy that I was able to take all the pics on schedule. No rain outs! I’ve got several posts in the works, but I just gotta find time to get them finished up and posted.... (more...)

If you follow me on facebook, you are aware of how the last couple of weeks have gone. So very busy with school starting and all that goes with that. I’m also taking Soccer league pictures last week and this week. On top of all that, Thursday August 5th, Rob had come home for lunch and wondered why he wasn’t greeted by Rosie. I had remembered letting her outside a couple hours before, but she usually makes it well known that she’s ready to come in. We sent the boys out to... (more...)

This cruise was planned a little while after we found out we were expecting our 2nd chil. We wanted to go ahead and bring TV Boy on a cruise, because we knew it would probably be quite awhile before we got to take him on one. Rob’s Mom and Step Dad joined us, which was nice. This trip was taken in October over a long weekend with a Columbus Day Holiday. We opted for a 3 day Royal Caribbean cruise to the Bahamas and the private island, Coco Cay. We left Thursday night and drove down to... (more...)

Shopping Many people visit the ports just for shopping. If you’re interested in shopping, I would recommend going to the “Talk” that will be given the day before that port of call. The “Shopping Expert” will know what to watch out for and deals to look for. Picture courtesy of awreunion Foreign medications may be tempting. You will more than likely see advertisements while at port, but beware. If it’s not approved by the FDA, you’ll have to surrender... (more...)

This is what I did instead of watching the All-Star Game last week. They remind me of cookies my Granny makes. So yummy! I’m looking forward to switching up the recipe, with the mix & match ingredients I’ve listed. Please comment if you make these with different mix & match ingredients. The pictures you see here are with the semi-sweet chocolate chips & milk chocolate chips. Servings: 4 dozen Prep Time: 15 minutes Cooking Time: 10 minutes per batch Ingredients: 2... (more...)

I just love when Rude Cactus does the posts of numbers. I’ve kept that in mind, trying to find a good time to do a post like that. Well, unfortunately the time has come. LOL! I was hoping it would be some wonderful post about a vacation or new job. Not so much. I’ll just let you figure out why it is unfortunate by leaving you with the totals…. Days since this all started: 16 Days it seems like it’s been going on: 35 Trips to the emergency room: 1 Antibiotics Rob has... (more...)

Tuesday night the week before 4th of July, Rob was talking with his brother about finding something “fun” to do over the weekend. The last few years we have mainly hung out at home and enjoyed time with our neighbors. Before that we headed to Texas to visit my family there. Anyway, after some thought and research we decided it would be fun to head up to the North Georgia Mountains. Since it was so close to the date, there were only a few options. We ended up staying here in Murphy,... (more...)
