The cupcakes and I

Yesterday, because it was St. Patrick's Day, I made cupcakes. Today, because of the cupcakes, I did 30 Day Shred with Jillian. It was 20 minutes of heaven. On opposite day.

I did get to try out my new favorite product, the Cup-A-Cake container. Now I can put cupcakes in my kids' lunches and they won't get squished. I got them at cupacake.com.

I've got some catching up to do!

Thanks to Facebook, I had all but given up on my blog. Seriously, with everyone in my family (heck, everyone on the planet) on Facebook, what's the point? Well, I've decided that I want a more personal way to post my photos and the goings-on in my life. Besides, today I'm a little bored.

Look who I got to meet this weekend! I won a meet and greet with Keith Urban in Valdosta at Wild Adventures.

Happy Valentine's Day!

OK, so I'm not such a good blogger. What can I say? I'm a busy woman! My nephew Ayden finally arrived on the 26th of January. He's healthy and beautiful and I can't wait to meet him! I spent part of the afternoon in Ben's 1st grade class helping out with their Valentine's Day party today. It was a lot of fun and I'll post pics soon.

Merry Christmas!

"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:11

This may very well be my favorite bible verse. In my opinion, it was the best piece of news ever told. That's why this is such a great holiday. I've been so busy that I never did get any Christmas cards out, and I guess it's pretty much too late at this point. I've got so much to do that the part of my brain that helps me prioritize and get things done has shut down, and that is why I am here updating my blog when I should be working or cleaning. Ben and I did manage to put together a gingerbread house while Thanh and Maura were in Jax watching the Jags get beaten by the Colts on Thursday. Thanh and I had a great time helping Maura make sugar cookies in Mr. Seneca's 4th-grade class after they put on a very nice play for the parents. Oh, and we adopted the class pet-a ball python named Scooby. He had to find a new home because there is now a school rule about no class pets. I don't think I ever saw the thing completely out of its hiding box before I agreed to take it home or it may not have happened. I walked into Maura's room that evening and he was stretched out across the aquarium-all 3 feet of him! It kinda gives me the willies, but as long as I don't have to actually touch the thing it will be alright. Mr. Seneca assures me he can't escape (as long as we remember to lock the lid).

I added a picture of my sister at her baby shower. Did I mention I'm excited about becoming an aunt? Ayden will be here soon and we can't wait!!!

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas!

Farewell October!

October has been a crazy busy month. Especially with two kids in sports. Sadly, two families we know lost a loved one this week. Our friend, Scott Garvey, lost his father and my sister's mother-in-law, Diane Jones, lost a sister. Please remember their families in your prayers. My grandparent's celebrated their 55th anniversary yesterday, and on the same day the church we have been attending, Freedom Baptist, celebrated it's 25th anniversary. I'm posting some pictures of what we've been up to. If you haven't done so already, make sure you get out and VOTE this Tuesday, Nov. 4th!
