I am blank because....

I am blank because....


I've seen these going around on blogs lately and thought I might hop on... this is super cute! Here goes....

I am weird because...

My life LIVES on a to-do list. I cannot function without one
I am always planning...i absolutely cannot live moment to moment
I stress about e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g.
I cannot relax. Very rarely can I just sit...and think and do NOTHING

I am a bad friend because...

I forget to call people back....I will tell you I'll call you back....then I forget
I dont talk to as many friends as I wish I did... lazyness, hate being on the phone, you name it
I dont see as many friends when I'm in town... I LOVE being with my family.... kinda takes over.
I dont always see things in the "grey" I can get too opinionated.

I am a good friend because...
I will do anything for my friends.... I mean ANYTHING
Giving good advise... I usually am the go-to girl for advise, marriage, life, friends.
I am very protective... This includes husbands, friends, you name it! I get super upset if they are hurt.
There is nothing better to me than a good girls weekend, dinner, wine night... I love being with them!
I am the planner of the group... every vacay or event we do I plan start to finish!
I am sad because...
2011 has been very very very not nice to us!
I miss Tennessee. More than I can ever explain.
I miss my friends. They are my heart. I want us to live right next door to each other!
I miss my family... daddy and I arent meant to be hours apart. It destroys me.
I miss my Pa. Every. Single. Day.
Husband is still in school.... I'm ready for him to be done, he is ready for him to be done... lets make that money honey!
We can't have kids yet.... Husband wants to be out of school, own our house and have some money in the bank first.... he is right... I still want babies.
I don't feel settled....just my temporary home...

I am happy because...

God blesses my life daily
My marriage... more than I could have ever hoped for. Seriously its wonderful....every single day.
Our church.... we are so involved and recognized in the church....its a great feeling to serve.
Our muts... they bring so much joy to us.
A job that pays our bills, lets us have a nice house, cars and vacay every now and then. Blessed more than we deserve.
A daddy that is a best friend and amazing father. My life doesnt exist without him. Honestly.
25 years with an amazing grandpa that I adored.
The very best of friends that understand me day in and day out.


I am excited for...

Christmas time... a few days off work, my family and lots of wine relaxing
March 2013.... 1 year 3 months and counting till husband graduates
BABIES... I want to be a mom so badly
Finally getting to own our own house
Tennessee football 2012....I'm forgetting about anything and everything 2011
The first snow... I hate winter....snow in the south is fun
God's continued blessings in our lives
My husbands career... he will be the most amazing doctor!

Your Turn!! Let me know if you participate... I'd love to check it out. And props to me for keeping up the blogging. I want to get my reader base back.... work in progress :)

Cyber Sleepy Monday

Happy Cyber Monday!! Or sleepy, rainy, wish I was still in bed Monday. Why is the 1st day back from the long weekend always so hard? Throw in a rainy dark morning, Atlanta madness we call rush hour and my motivation at ZERO....you have a productive day coming your way. I really think my sweat pants, hot apple cider, my laptop and credit card in hand shopping the deals of the day would be MUCH better.

Speaking of deals.... what all have yall found out there?! I am currently roaming aorund Macy's for B1G1 Free deals.... Anything HUGE out there you just cant miss?! Let me know!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving.... got to see both families, eat way to much food and even got a few crafting projects and relaxation in the mix. Did I take pictures?! Of course not. Shame on me. OK a little less blogging and a little more shopping errr working today!

More to come....Happy Monday!

Welcome Back to Me

Sooo.... maybe its been a few months!? Maybe since June...?! 5 month hiatus is normal right? I dont have a lot of excuses or exciting stories as to the why. Just been life going on. The good, the bad and the ugly as 2011 has been for us. More of the ugly. I am typically a pretty holly jolly person so maybe thats my excuse... we will go with that.... 2011 you have sucked royally. ANYTHING and EVEYRTHING bad has happened to us this year.... and I mean ANYTHING.... think IRS audit, Pa died, checking account stolen, shoulder surgey, job and those are just the "public" ones. Sooo I am going to start fresh and think all positive thoughts going into next year... BRING IT ON 2012.

Soo lets start out with this....

We are traveling home sweet home to Tennessee to be with my family for Turkey Day then off to hubs family on friday. Oh the joys of traveling for the holidays. I am still promising one year I WILL sit at home and not travel and everyone will come to us.... one day!

 Also, just thought i would say thank you to ALL of you who have sent me sweet and wonderful tweets and emails... they mean so much. My sweet Pa went to Heaven on October 21st. We were at his side holding his hand and it was incredibly peaceful at home. God gained one of life's greatest blessings and I miss him beyond words. It hurts everyday. Pa you will be greatly missed this Thanksgiving and everyday of the rest of my life. I love you.

I am 100% trying to get back in swing of the blogging world. Stay tuned.... :)
