So yah, I haven’t been on here regularly….really in over a year. Life has had its major ups and down the last year and half. I’ve always believed that God only gives you what you can handle but sometimes I wonder! I’m not going to rehash everything, but I’m sure as I start writing more, more will come out. It’s not that I’m wanting to hide anything, just don’t want to bore you with details. What I will say is that in May I was laid off right before getting out for summer. Alabama has a serious problem with their…

I was tagged by Deanna. Six Random Things About Me: 1. I like Facebook more than Myspace now. 2. I’m eating peanut butter cookies and milk right now. 3. My 4 yo had his last soccer game tonight. 4. My Granny turns 80 next week. 5. I love milk. 6. I feel like I should elaborate more on these, but oh well. 🙂 Those interested to do this, go for it, and let me know.

I was looking on flickr at a couple Fall groups, which made me think of all the things I love about fall. I decided to start a list. Feel free to comment and add something about fall that you love, too 🙂 1. Candy Corn – not my fav candy, but I often buy them just so I can put them in a clear container for decoration. I guess I like the way they look more than the way they taste. 2. Fall Colors – orange, red, yellow, and brown 3. Cooler weather – It seems that in Alabama we…

Although I know I have tons of stuff to write about and play blog catch up, but I figured I’d quit writing about not writing. 🙂 And as time goes on I will try to catch you up on everything. Today Rob and the kids and I were planning to go to a pumpkin patch, but after some research, we realized it wasn’t open today. So we headed to the farmer’s market, where the kids picked out a large pumpkin and I took a couple of pictures, of course. I can’t believe how fast time is going by. It’s amazing…

Magnolia Mom has been silent for quite some time. I still read blogs, just don’t write on mine. I’d like to find a ‘new blog home’ someday, but for now I’m gonna stick here. Not sure how much I’ll write, but I just read an entry (blog now removed) and it just tugged at my heart. A brand new dad ships off to Afghanistan just a week after his son was born, only to die in combat not even a month later. This family needs your prayers.

This week’s Photo Scavenger Hunt theme is signs. Here’s a sign we saw while in Playa Del Carmen. Kind of scary!

Looking back through July pictures, I started thinking of the traditions that we’ve had. Back when Rob was in school, the weekend connected to 4th of July was really our only opportunity to go to Texas to visit my family. So we did that for several years, even after he graduated. This first picture is of Drew when he and I flew to Texas without Rob, because we were going for an extended stay. 2001 Here he is with my cousins at the lake. 2001 This is from 2002 when we went to Texas and spent a day at the…

We enjoyed a short trip to Gatlinburg. We stayed at the Edgewater Hotel. We spent a time in Ober Gatlinburg, at the Ripley’s Believe It Not Museum, and way above the city in the Space Needle. See more pics here.

Well, I’m quickly getting further and further behind on my writing here. I never got to write about the Bon Jovi & Daughtry Concert. I’ll have to say it was awesome concert. Sound quality was pretty flawless for Daughtry. When Bon Jovi came out the sound wasn’t as good, but wasn’t bad like many people we’ve seen. The bass wasn’t pumping. In fact there wasn’t hardly any bass! I didn’t enjoy the concert as much either because Philips Arena was HOT and just felt blah! I had wondered if this concert would top Def Leppard and the answer to that…

Ok, so many of you probably know that life has been rocky for me and well, the commitment that I made almost 11 years ago nearly came crumbling down in front of me. So much of it was my fault and mainly because I was not able to communicate and express what was bothering me. I guess like the counselor I saw said, I am the “textbook unhappy wife”. I won’t get into any details, but I’ve learned a lot in the last nearly 8 months or so. I learned that holding things in doesn’t help anyone, doesn’t do anyone…

I am SO pumped for the Jovi/Daughtry concert tomorrow night! Listening, reading some blogs, and getting even more excited. I’m wondering if it can top Def Leppard, which was THE best concert I’ve evah seen! We will see. I’ve put the set list for a recent concert under more, so Rob if you’re reading this before the concert and don’t wanna know don’t click down there 😉 Oh and a couple of the links above have the set list, so watch out!

We celebrated Alex’s birthday the weekend after his birthday with some of Rob’s family. We went to one of his and our favorite restaurants, Durango (Mexican). Here he is blowing out his candles. For his 4th birthday, he got lots of Auburn stuff as you can see when if you click on the pic above. He also finally got a bookshelf for his room.
