Day 5
Someone you would trade place with for just one day.

I love Paula Deen! Her southern charm, and skills in the kitchen make me admire her, and want to be her sometimes. Just for one day though. I like being me!
Day 4
A picture of a fun night!

Every year my friends and I have a murder mystery party for Halloween. We've done it for the past 3 years and I look forward to it pretty much all year. Themes from the past 3 years have been Trailer Trash Tragedy, Lights, Camera, Murder (picture above is from that night), and this year we had a Murder at the Abby Manor Masquerade. Its such a fun night for friends to just be together and silly!

Day 2
A picture with the friend(s) you've had the longest.

These two beautiful ladies are my sweet, sweet friends Betsy and Paula. We have all been friends since 5th Grade where we met in Mrs. Rogers class at Tyson Elementary. To say we share a past would be an understatement. As friends and young women we've all gone our separate ways but when we can we get together and have a great time, and always share a ton of laughs. I know that I can depend on these two for anything and am so blessed and grateful for their friendship!

30 Days

So, lots of my friends on Facebook are doing this 30 Day project and I thought it looked like fun.

Here goes.



DAY 1
A picture of yourself with 15 facts.

1. I love to write. I doodle with words not pictures.

2. My two biggest fears in life are grasshoppers and public restrooms.
3. I love my job, and I'm so thankful God has blessed me with the opportunities that are presented to me daily to serve Him.
4. I love cherry coke, it's my favorite drink. However it has to be bottled by the Coca-Cola Company and it cant be mixed anywhere else.
5. I'm addicted to Post Secret. I think it's because I wish I had a fun secret to tell.
6. I'm an aunt to the coolest 6 kids you will ever meet.
7. There are several jobs I want to have for just one day. Examples are; being a shampoo girl in a salon, working at a coffee shop and a nurse.
8. I want to learn how to cook. I'm a very pick eater, but I would love how to make more than just mac-n-cheese
9. I suffer from extreme motion sickness. Sometimes I get car sick when I'm driving
10. I often think about who will come to my funeral. Morbid I know. But it's true.
11. I love to travel and am always up for a road trip.
12. I don't necessarily love sports, but I love live sporting events. The atmosphere at the games is always so exciting.
13. I'm obsessed with Chick-fil-A and if I go too long without eating it I go through withdraws.
14. I love apples and oranges, but hate apple juice and orange juice.
15. Stationary and pens are my favorite things to collect. I could spend hours upon hours in a office supply store.

Summer 2010 Rewind

The last week in may I traveled with or Senior Class to Destin for a week of fun, fellowship and relaxing. It's always a great trip and this year was no different.The fist weekend in June, I traveled down to Dallas to see Wicked with my parents as a late birthday present. It was such a fun night, and I was glad I got to share something I love with two of my favorite people.
On June 12th, one of my oldest and dearest friends, Paula P who's now Paula G got married in a beautiful garden wedding. It was such a special day, and I was honored to get to be a part of it.
The last week of June, I was fortunate enough to get to hang out with ALL of these crazy kids for our 9th annual Local Mission Project. This year we had 10 teams completing 12 different projects. This week is always mentally, physically & emotionally exhausting, but the pros out weigh the cons by leaps and bounds. I am so blessed to get to be a part of something this AMAZING!

On June 23rd my best friend, Mallary and her husband Blake welcomed into the world, Caden Tyler. He is one of the most precious little boys I have ever seen and he brings so my joy to everyone who just catches a glimpse of his sweet face! I'm so excited he's here and for Blake and Mallary! On July 3rd my friends Mark and Hannah were married at Pratt Place Barn & Inn and Fayetteville. It was one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever been to and the reception was soooo much fun! We all danced the night away and got to see some pretty rad fireworks to end the evening. I am really happy for this sweet couple, and once again so grateful that God has put such wonderful people in my life.
The day after M & H's wedding, I headed down to Texas to spend the 4th of July with the family. It was a great visit. My Uncle Dane and Aunt Carol were there from Oregon and I hadn't seen them in a couple years so it was fun getting to catch up.
And finally, the two weeks ago I traveled with a team of 22 to North Carolina for an Appalachian Mission Trip. It was a fun, hot, rewarding week that will go down in the books as one of my most memorable trips of all time.
