101 Post....yippee!

I just realized this is my 101st post!! I should do a give away. I have never done that before but I think one might be in the works. Stay tuned for details. Hope everyone has been doing good. We had a LONG weekend. We were suppose to go to Alabama on Friday to see my parents but guess who came home from daycare with a 102.2 fever, yep, miss Zoe. Mommy wasn't feeling well either so we stayed at home and got better. My Mom had a minor surgery on Monday so I did end up driving to Alabama on Sunday to be with her. Surgery went well and she is already home, I am so thankful. It was tough seeing my Mom in the hospital. I am super excited about Halloween this weekend. I can't wait to see everyone's pictures of their babies and see my little toot toot all dressed up as well. I will definitely post pictures sometime soon. I won't reveal what Zoe is going to be for Halloween, you guys are just going to have to come back for a visit to find out.

Back to the giveaway.....Any suggestions on what I should give away?

Picture overload....think this is the last one!! Sorry

More photos of Zoe

Pumpkin Patch photos and other random ones

I still have to download the big pumpkin patch photos that we went to in Woodstock GA but the ones here are from a small patch in Alabama where Bryan's parents live.

Friends

Have you ever met someone, in my case, several someones who you just felt like you have known forever? I had the pleasure of meeting this family this past weekend
Hope's Journey . Let me start by saying, I started following this blog and I just completely fell in love with this family. I watched the videos and cried. I prayed and am still praying several times daily for this family and for their little Hopey. I have never in my life felt such a connection to someone, I know that is weird but can I just say, wow, the love that this family have for one another is just amazing and I was hoping to be able to meet them while in Nashville. I am so glad we were able to see her. What an amazing, beautiful, strong, sweet and full of life little girl. Now, she wasn't full of life when we met (I mean, give her a break, she had just had open heart surgery)!! This little girl has been through so much and unfortunately she may have to go through more ahead but the bond in this family is so super tight that I know they will make it through whatever lies ahead for them and for Hope.

I had the pleasure of signing Hope's "Love Shack". what a beautiful and heart felt idea. I wish that I would have taken pictures. Hope had balloons everywhere and stuffed animals and awesome signs everywhere made by her amazing brothers and sisters. Again, the love this family has for one another is outstanding. What special and beautiful people each and every one of them are.

God has a purpose for Hope. Her journey may not be crystal clear ahead but he definitely has a HUGE plan for her. If I had the chance to see Hope again face to face, I would tell her, KEEP MARCHING and I will do the same. I will march for Hope today, tomorrow and always. Each and every one of you guys have touched my heart and I will forever remember getting to meet each of you. Thank you so much for an opportunity of a lifetime. May God bless all of you and all my hugs and prayers for the days ahead.

Never got to post

Booooo on me!! I never got to download Zoe's pumpkin patch pictures and post them. This weekend won't be any different because the husbee and I are traveling to Nashville for the weekend away. Zoe is staying with her Nana and Paw Paw this weekend. I am super excited but also going to miss my baby girl something terribly. I will try and be a better blogger next week. For now friends ta ta and have a blessed weekend. Enjoy this beautiful fall weather. Snow is predicted this weekend in the North Georgia Mountains......WHAT!!!! It is October!!

Pumpkin Patch pictures soon

I've been a bad blogger. I just don't post much anymore and especially with pictures. I will try and do better in the future! I will be posting pictures of this past weekend. We took Zoe for the second year in a row to Berry's Pumpkin Patch in Woodstock Georgia and had a blast. I joined a working Mom's playgroup and was able to meet a couple of the Mommies and their sweet babies/kids while at the patch as well. I hope to download the photos tonight so I will post them soon. Until then, I hope all of you sweet blogger friends are doing well.

Ummm, all I can say is WOW

Thanks anonymous reader for this tip:

"Here's a thought actually put your child first and stay home with her".


First of all you know nothing about my life and don't you think if I could afford to stay at home with my child I would? Keep your anonymous tips to yourself if you are going to be cruel. You are not welcome here.

I think 10 day gratitude challenge is good for now.

I'm falling behind on my post so I am going to end my Gratitude Challenge at 10. I have soooo much to be thankful for and if you are a part of my life or even if our paths have yet to cross, I am so thankful for you and look forward to meeting you. I will be posting some new pictures of Zoe soon so stay tuned.

I normally take the weekends off

Sorry, I've been a bad blogger. Problem with the weekends is we are normally traveling to see either my parents or Bryan's parents or I just simply don't want to turn on a computer on the weekends as I work on a computer all day M-F. I am behind several days on my gratitude challenge but I will just pick up like today is day 10.

Today I am thankful for this beautiful weather (temperature) we are having. I can't say so much for the rain, it's like go away already, enough is enough!! Oh well I am hoping that the weather will be gorgeous this weekend so that we can take Zoe to the pumpkin patch for a hay ride, pumpkin picking, photo taking day!! I love fall. As I've said before, I am totally a summer baby. Give me the sunshine, warm weather and a pool and I am in heaven but man, fall is really growing on me. I am not however looking forward to the time change. If this rain would ever go away for an extended period of time, I would like to enjoy the last few days of daylight before it's completely dark at 5:30, hence when we are driving home from work. Happy Fall everyone. I hope all of you are enjoying this weather as much as I am.

Gratitude Challege day Eight and Nine

I know, I know, I'm slacking...I missed yesterdays post. Real Estate world is picking up....finally and I am busy again, thank goodness. Then I had my nieces staying with me last night, that was a lot of fun. We talked about first kisses, friends and boyfriends, my nieces are 12 and almost 11 so they are starting to like boys!! Too cute, oh I remember those days. Anyway I got off track so here goes.

On day Eight I am thankful for my in-laws. I am absolutely blessed to have such incredibly awesome in-laws. They are beautiful people on the inside and out. They are good Christian people and would do anything in the world for anyone. Just truly amazing people. I am so grateful for them as a lot of people do not get along with each others in-laws. I can honestly say I love spending time with my in-laws. They love their little Zoe (she is their only grandchild as of now) so they spoil her rotten. I love them both very much and I am so blessed to have them in my life. They make me want to be a better person each and every day. I hope never to let them down and hope they know how much I adore them.

Now on day Nine, I am gratful for this beautiful life I lead and for the faith, tenderness, happiness and love that has been distilled upon me everyday by all of the wonderful people in my life. I thank God everyday for surrounding me with so much love and support. I have everything I need.....ok, I would like another baby sometime soon but other than that, I am completely content.
