1. My plans this summer include everything I put on a list (can’t fine link right now). 2. The best summer I ever had was… Well, for this one I couldn’t just finish the sentence. I have to say that my summers growing up were always so much fun. Being an independent “only child”, when I wasn’t busy going to camp or College for kids or volunteering at the local hospital, I enjoyed watching old re-runs, riding my bike to friends’ houses, going on trips with my Granddad and Grandmother, going for a drive while eating Braum’s ice cream. But…

1. The last thing I ate was… a Hershey Kiss 2. The next thing I’d like to eat is… dinner 3. The best things… are those that come with hard work and determination. 4. Something that makes me supremely and utterly happy is… being care free. Once in a blue moon, I find that there’s nothing weighing me down and I can for a few moments just be happy. I hate being a worry wart! 5. Sports are… a part of life with a sport-fanatic husband and two boys that play sports and are area also avid fans. Additionally, being…

My most recent taste test item was the Newton’s Fruit Thins. They sent me the Fig & Honey flavored cookies. They have a really good taste, nothing overwhelming. These thin cookies had a nice smooth texture, not grainy like I had expected, with the perfect hint of honey and tiny chunks of fig. Although, I’m not a fan of fig newtons, I really enjoyed these! Click here to see the other flavors available. As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program, I received Newton’s Fruit Thins to create this post.

{one} how many times have you been a bridesmaid/maid of honor? I’ve been a bridesmaid one time for my best friend from high school. The sad part…I don’t have any pictures from that day. 🙁 {two} what’s the last thing your do before you fall asleep at night? It depends what day it is. If it’s a day that I work, that means I get home after midnight, so I drive home, change clothes, have a little snack and watch tv before retiring to the bed. Nights I don’t work, I usually lay in bed with Rob and watch Fox…

Lake Martin is man-made; formed by the construction of Martin Dam on the Tallapoosa River. It spans across Alabama counties: Tallapoosa, Elmore and Coosa. A 44,000-acre lake with over 750 miles of beautifully wooded shoreline. Lake Martin is a great place to swim, boat, fish, water ski, and camp. It’s a great quick getaway for many Alabama residents, especially those in Auburn. Source With it only being about a 30 minute drive from our house, it makes for a great day trip. This year our friends invited us back to Lake Martin for a Memorial Day celebration. Some other friends…

This week since there was not a set of new questions, I went down to her very first set of questions and decided to answer those. 🙂 {1} what is your all time favorite dessert? Chocolate turtle ice cream {2} how many siblings do you have? Melvin Nikki {3} have you had your heart broken? Hasn’t everyone? {4} did you play any sports in high school?

What a great season of baseball for Alex! He had 2 spectacular coaches, husband and wife, Wade Benson & Jill Haas. Coach Benson was the Auburn University volleyball head coach who just resigned. His wife, Coach Haas, played for the American Women’s Baseball national team for the championship in Japan in 2000. To say we had really qualified coaches would be an understatement. We saw great improvements in Alex, as well as the entire team. End of the year party

Recently found this on another blog… 1. Define trailer trash: In the South, this is a derogatory term used to describe some folks that live in trailers. 2. What are your thoughts on WalMart? I love to hate WalMart. I only go there because I believe that I truly save a lot of money. 3. If you could choose another era in which to be born and live, which one, and why? Probably the 50’s because I’ve come to love all the retro stuff from that time period. 4. Tell me about a meal from your childhood, often served in…

A few weeks ago we went to Franklin, TN, which is about 20 miles south of Nashville. We were there for the last soccer tourney of the season! We stayed in Brentwood, TN (which is about half way in between Nashville and Franklin) at the Hyatt Place. Love, love, love those bed and breakfast places! We got in around 10:30 and hurried to bed for we knew 7 am would come quickly. We got up, enjoyed our Continental Breakfast, and got over to the fields in time for Teenager to warm up and prepare for his game. They pulled out…

Over at This Life is Sweet today, she did a meme called Wee Bit Wednesday and I decided to give it a shot as well! {one} what profession have you always admired? I’ve always admired doctors and nurses or really anyone in the medical field. {two} what would the title of your memoir/biography be if it was written today? If I was writing a book about myself, I’d take more than 5 minutes to come up with a good title! {three} how far do you commute to work? Depends on the time of day and what time of year it…
