Memories of the Month - Taking time to document the important memories from January.

Memories of the Month {9.2014}

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: Drew having a date for homecoming.

This month I was sad because of: my Granny is really sick.

Something I accomplished this month was: almost done with Soccer League pictures. Just got to get them packaged up and delivered.

Labor Day at the Braves

Labor Day at the Braves

Today I’m sharing about our day at Turner Field watching our beloved Braves play.

On Labor Day this year, we went to the Braves Game. It was a blistering hot day, but we managed to enjoy ourselves even though the Braves lost to the Phillies.

We found our seats, which were great by the way. Then, we got up to go see if we were early enough to see the pep rally that they do out on the concourse.

10 Tips for Long Distance Relationships

I’ve read several blogs lately of people who are in long distance relationships. It got me thinking back to the relationships that I was in back in college that were long distance. I am happy to say that the last long distance relationship I was in ended up in marriage! 🙂 17 years strong!

10 Tips for Long Distance Relationships

I thought I’d write a post about somethings that can make being a part a little easier as well as keeping each of you in check.

I’ll have to preface this by saying that I am a bit envious, as the internet was in it’s infancy when I met Rob. Cell phones weren’t something everyone owned at the time either. So being long distance was quite a bit more difficult 17-18 years ago.

He Didn’t Procrastinate… {Homecoming}

He Didn’t Procrastinate… {Homecoming}

Yes, there was a time when my teenage son did not procrastinate. School started and some of my friends who have kids in high school, reminded me that homecoming this year is early. They mentioned that they were urging their sons to figure out who they were going to ask and go ahead and git er done (as we say in the South.)
