Welcome the Newest Member of our Family

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are getting to enjoy today off as well.  I am so happy to have another day off work and get to just hang out at home and relax for a change.  Nowhere to go and nowhere to be - talk about sweet serenity!

Last Saturday, January 9th, my baby brother got married!  He will be 33 years old in April and he finally decided after dating his girlfriend, Mimi, for the last 3 years that he would make an honest woman out of her.  She is such a wonderfully sweet person who makes my brother very very happy and we are so excited to have her and her daughter, Kharma, as part of the family and I am even happier to have a new niece to dote on! I am very sad however, that I wasn't able to attend the wedding as they decided on the spur of the moment to have this shindig and so it was kind of hard to get a quick ticket to Florida.  However, my baby sister and mother decided to drive to Florida and surprise my brother and his wife to be.  He was so excited that he didn't even realize that my mom and sister were walking his new wife to be down the aisle until they were almost upon him.  He started crying because he was so happy to see them.  They said it was priceless to see the look on his face! I only wish I could have been there to see it!

Anyway - here are some pictures that I stole  saved off her Facebook so that I could brag about my handsome baby brother and his beautiful new bride and step-daughter.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I did:

Dearly Beloved - We are gathered here today:

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hester (Isn't he handsome and she Beautiful!)

A nice big happy family - Rob, Mimi and Kharma

Yum cake!

My mother, brother and baby sister

What was so funny, sister?!

That's a neat trick, little brother (by the way, he used to own two bars on Dixon Street in Fayetteville, Arkansas so I'm sure this wasn't too difficult for him to do) HA!

Rob and his bestie John

Thanks for stopping by! If you are lucky enough to have off work today, I hope you have a very relaxing day! 

Big hugs!

Getting to know you Sunday

Okay so I know I've done several posts like this - however, this time it's for a GREAT cause so check it out! Keely over at MannLand5 has decided that she will donate 25 cents to the Red Cross for each person that plays along and links back to her website.

Today's questions's are..


1. Hair color..Au naturale..or not? - Absolutely - I have never dyed my hair - it is still the same color brown as it has been my entire life with a couple of minor grays starting to pop up here and there - which I will continue to pull until they get to be too many and then I will dye my hair. :o)

2. If somebody has food in their teeth or lipstick on their teeth do you tell them?  Only if I know them personally - otherwise, no

3. Would you rather have a million dollars or your vision of the perfect body?  Million dollars so I can retire young and pay off all of our debts and send my kids to college and help them get a good start in life - I can always get my vision of the perfect body just by exercising and eating healthier

4. Favorite magazine?  Self

5. Bra style..lacey or plain?  Either

6. If you walked into Victoria's Secret..would you most likely come out with something sexy or comfy? Definitely comfy - that's just my style

7. Do you fake and bake?  Always at the beginning of each summer yes

8. What's your favorite body part on a man? Sexy legs

So there are more of my answers in the continuance of getting to know me.  Again, be sure to check out Keely's blog and play along - it's all for a good cause!

Happy Sunday everyone!
