I wanted to share a few photos from Caitlyn’s maternity shoot. We did these at The Botanic. All of these were taken with an Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max because if I would have used my big SLR camera they would require us to pay $50. I think these turned out pretty darn good with just a little bit of editing.
LIFE Happenings Here’s my weekly posts to catch you up. Week 49 Week 50 Week 51 Loving these Electric Salt & Pepper shakers that Alex got me for Christmas. Happy we might get snow next week. Excited that Auburn Men’s Basketball is #1 right now. Reminiscing Every December, especially on the 26th I remember my Dad. (posts about that) Social We had dinner with Rob’s men’s group and their wives at Fratelli’s this year. Work Memories We learned that our coworker Patti is retiring in January. That means I’ll be the only female in the office for at least a…
Every year for the last few years, Rob and I and Rob’s brother, Nick, have taken Rob’s sister’s kids out for a fun day. Well, 5 out of the 8 (the school age ones). We started doing this in place of giving them “things”. Even though we live in the same town, they are running here and there practicing and playing Lacrosse and just living life with a large family, so just don’t get to see them much. We picked them up about 9:30am and headed to Atlanta. Since Atlanta is on Eastern time, we lose an hour when traveling…
Just a quick little post to remember this Christmas 2024…the last one before our granddaughter is here! Breakfast Casserole (recipe) I made the weekend before Christmas since we had company. Christmas Eve Since Rob’s dad is seriously considering moving from Huntsville, TX to our area, so we hooked him up with one of our realtor friends. He was gracious enough to show us a couple houses on Christmas eve morning. Later that day, we attended church and then came home to have our traditional Christmas Eve meal (Ham, Hash brown Casserole, and Teriyaki Green beans). Always love having this guy…
Here’s some memories, dreams, and reflections from 2024. See the bottom of the post for the ‘rules.’ This year I posted the Link Up post early. It’s here if you’d like to share your Memories, Dreams, and Reflections 2024. 1. Me! 2. I Love You Just a quick meal out for some ramen with my love 3. Still Laughing… I was lost on this prompt, but I do love this photo of us laughing at Christmas. I think we were laughing because when he picked her up she laid back in such a funny way. 4. Winter Wonderland Yeah, kind…
This year, we tried to scale back the travels a bit from last year…We still take advantage of when Rob has a work trip. I think last year and maybe the year before I did a separate post to list all my travels, but I’m so behind on posts right now that I decided not to do that. Here’s a quick run down… April Not sure you can even hardly count this as a trip. We were only gone a few hours, but it was so good for my mental health. After several days of being cooped up after my…
+ Our yard (after) being cleared. I may try to write a post about this and share more photos. + Rob’s Dad and step mom got in to town on Saturday, Dec 21st. This is a photo of our normal Sunday lunch along with Randy and Pam. + On Saturday, we took Randy and Pam to the restaurant that Alex works at as part of their Christmas present and so they could see Alex in his element. He always treats us to an appetizer or 2 and dessert. This time he sent out a dessert tray. + On Saturday afternoon,…

Back in 2011, one of my favorite blogs (no longer online) shared an end of year post that I just loved, so I decided to do it that year. I started sharing this post again in 2020 and have done it ever since. Last year several people expressed wanting to share their year through this post. With that info, I decided this year that I would share the blank version early in case anyone else wanted to do it. I’ve started gathering photos for my 2024 edition. Here are the ‘rules’ of this post The beauty of Memories, Dreams and…
+ Saturday we went to get our Christmas tree. Tradition of this picture makes my heart happy. Need to go do a collage of them here through the years. + Rob and I at the Christmas tree farm + Alex and I standing next to the tree we got. + Earlier in the week Rob and I went to the Gogue for “Ain’t Too Proud” which is the story of the Temptations. Really good! + After getting our tree on Saturday, we continued with our tradition of stopping for Chinese food. Santa and his family were there too! + Sunday…
Last Tuesday after work, we headed towards Texas, planning to spend the night in Shreveport to break up the trip since its a 12 hour drive. We ended up having a delay when Google Maps told us to take a detour near Selma. We went over some railroad tracks and ended up going over a pot hole that gave us a flat tire. There was another car that had pulled over who had also gotten a flat tire. Long story short, God paved the way for us to get our tire switched to the spare and got a new tire…
