It's Game Day Baby!!!

Happy Saturday my peeps!  Hope you are having a wonderful and lazy day today.  We've been up since the crack of dawn (actually it was still dark outside) - which is 6 a.m.  I have already gotten SO much accomplished that it's unreal!  I got a load of laundry done, dishes and trash taken care of before I had to take my son to another town over from us so he could take his ACT test this morning - and that was all before 8 a.m.!!!  Of course after that I had to stop and get gas and stopped for my morning treat - a Starbucks Venti Pumpkin Spice Latte - YUMMY!!!  I love any and all things Pumpkin and Fall is my favorite time of year so this fits perfect in my morning routine! :)

 

Now that I'm home, I've gotten another load of laundry completed, killed some ants and have swept and mopped my kitchen and laundry room (where the ants were for some strange reason).  Next I have to get ready to go to the bank and then head to the County Fair by 11:30 to work for my son's Project Graduation from 12 to 4.  After that - it is GAME ON!!!!  Can't wait to call my Hogs alongside my hubby while we watch them kick ULM's butt!!!

So - what is on your agenda's today and this weekend?  Anything fun and exciting?  I'll be waiting to hear all about it so please share!  Well I better get off here and get ready to go tackle the rest of my day.  Have a wonderful day my friends and thanks for stopping by to say hi! :)

Lots of love and hugs,

Happy TGIF!!!!

How was your short week so far?  Ours was great.  We had a date night out on Wednesday night because we had an awful day and were stressed to the max and so we went to Texas Roadhouse and enjoyed a nice steak and drinks, just the two of us, which was very nice.  :)   I started without him, first, of course!

 

 

So what are your weekend plans?  Anything exciting?  I volunteered on Saturday to take tickets at the county fair to help out with my son's senior project graduation and then we will be calling the Hogs on Saturday night!  We are playing University of Louisiana at Monroe.

After that we are on countdown for our upcoming 15 year anniversary trip to Portland Oregon and we can't wait! 1 and 1/2 weeks and counting! :)

 

 

Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by to say hello! :)

 

Lots of love and hugs,

Future step grandson (we hope - ha) :)

Happy Thursday my peeps!  So I told you that my daughter was dating a really nice guy who has a 2 year old son.  They've been dating only a couple of months, but it appears that it's getting pretty serious.  Well her boyfriend's son is just adorable and SO precious!  We've not even gotten to meet him yet but we get pictures from them on a regular basis and I can't help but share! He's just too cute NOT to show off - so enjoy the pictures! :)  His name is Donovan:

 

 My daughter and Donovan - see how much they love each other! :)

See - I told you he was cute huh?! :)  Thanks for stopping by to say hello!  Have a great day! :)

Lots of love and hugs,

Hey Strangers!

How are you?  How have you all been?  I know I promised to be back here this past February but time has just gotten completely away from me and I just couldn't get back to blogging.  However, I do hope to be back now full-time as I want to keep a journal of this coming year. It is the last year of high school for my sweet boy and I don't want to forget a thing. So.... Here is a recap of sorts since February:

• In February, Hubby got a new job and we were relocated to the great State of Texas. He still works in airport retail and is working at Bush intercontinental airport here in Houston.

• In March I began working for a huge Investment banking firm here in the Houston area and really love it. 

• In May my sweet baby girl graduated high school and has ventured out on her own. She currently works for Wal-Mart and is about to begin cosmetology school. She has been dating a nice guy for the past couple of months who is also a dad already and has an adorable 2 year old little boy.  My daughter adores the baby and the baby adores her. She is so great with kids!

• In June my son finished his junior year back home in Arkansas and we officially moved him to Houston to live with us and attend his senior year here. Yes, my kids have moved a lot over the years, and while it's been tough on them and us at times, they've had a lot of experiences that most kids have never had and have seen a lot of places.  And because of that, they can decide for themselves what part of the world they want to live in when they are on their own, because they've gotten to see so many new areas.

• In July things were relatively quiet around here. In February we moved into a 1 bedroom apartment since it was just hubby and I. But in June once we moved our son down here with us, we had to get a larger apartment, so we spent a lot of time moving into the bigger one and trying to get settled once and for all during the month of July.  

• In August we were pretty settled in and began exploring and checking out our surrounding areas to see what all there was to do.  Needless to say, we've seen a lot of sights!  Also the beginning of the month, my cousins, who live in Dallas, drove to Galveston and we met them there and spent the day at the beach with them. We had a great time but got severely burned. We've not been in the sun since.  SPF 50 couldn't compete with the Texas sun!  Middle of August it was getting our son enrolled in his new school and getting him ready for his Senior year.   Since then, he started school on August 27th and we've been in full school mode since. 

• In September, our beloved Razorbacks college football season started (with a Win), a lazy labor day weekend and now getting ready for mine and hubby's 15 year anniversary weekend getaway (early). Our anniversary isn't until the end of October but he has a lot of work situations that month that will keep us from celebrating. Therefore, we chose to celebrate early instead of late. We are headed to Portland, Oregon the 3rd week of this month and can hardly contain our excitement!  Only 2 weeks from tomorrow!!   

So, as you can see, we've had a full plate since February, hence the reason my poor little blog has taken a backseat. I really hope to be back to blogging full-time now and hope you'll re-join me for the ride.  I've been following a lot of your blogs and continue to see what's going on in your busy lives as well. 

I'm having a very difficult time adding pictures since I'm typing this on my iPad, so i will do a post later with new pictures  Thanks for stopping by to say hello and please let me know you were here!

Lots of love and hugs~
