Memories of the Month {5.2014}

Memories of the Month - Here's a great idea for wrapping up the month with a set of questions to remember how your last month with.  I love going back and reading through what happened throughout the years.

This month I was happy about: the school year winding down.

This month I was sad about: empty promises.

Something I accomplished this month was: just getting through the month was accomplishment enough.

Life Lately

Today I’m starting a new series that I’d like to do each week called Life Lately. This will be just random tidbits about what is going on in life. There’s always things I’d like to share, but more times than not, it’s not enough to write an entire post on. I thought doing it this way will hopefully encourage me to share those little things that usually get left unsaid. Or sometimes it may have things mentioned that will be an intro into a longer post later.

Family Date Night 2014

A few weeks ago, we left work early, checked the kids out of school, and drove up to Atlanta for a night at the Fox. After getting up to Atlanta, we parked and decided to walk around a bit before figuring out where we would eat dinner.

Travel Bucket List

Travel Tuesday

Lately I have been feeling burned out. When I get in that mode, it means I probably need to take a break one way or another. If I can’t physically pick up and go on vacation, I sometimes just take a quick trip on the internet and let my vacation fantasies run free. The other day, while doing that, I decided to make a list of places I want to go during my life time.

Here are my top 20 places, I’d like to see someday…

Day Trip to Birmingham

Day Trip to Birmingham

Remember a few weeks ago, when I wrote about the Wednesday that Rob and I had a free day from work? Well, we ended up taking a day trip up to Birmingham, since Drew was going to be playing in a soccer game that afternoon.

We headed up towards Birmingham and ended up stopping for lunch as we were too hungry to wait till we got to B’ham. We txted some good friends who gave us some suggestions. So stopped at Big “B” Bar-B-Q in Alex City.

Memories of the Month {4.2014}

Memories of the Month - Here's a great idea for wrapping up the month with a set of questions to remember how your last month with.  I love going back and reading through what happened throughout the years.

This month I was happy about: getting to have some free evenings with nothing to do.

This month I was sad about: drama going on with part of my family.

Something I accomplished this month was: having to go to the ER. *sarcasm*

Trip to Birmingham

Drew and the AHS JV soccer team were in a tournament back in April. He went up with the team. Rob and I went up Friday night to watch the 2 games. Drove back to our friends’ lake house in Dadeville, then served at Emmaus Saturday morning and headed back up to Birmingham after that. Alex was with Rob’s mom while we did all this.
