Turning 30

My 30th birthday was more painless than I thought it would be, thanks to my awesome husband. My big day was pretty much the same as every other year — a birthday breakfast at Wes-Man’s, a local restaurant (unfortunately, my name didn’t get painted on the famous truck since it rained the day before); work and then my birthday dinner at Provino’s. When we got home, we had birthday cake. On Saturday night, we headed to Kennesaw to get a new flash for Joe’s camera and to get Lucy’s 4-month pictures taken — except after leaving Best Buy, Joe...

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

August 17, 2009 in Baseball, Friends, Life

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to go to a baseball game again and sit in regular seats. Not after sitting in the plush *front row* seats at last night’s Atlanta Braves game. Joe got a set of four corporate tickets for last...

Spoiled

May 26, 2009 in Family, Friends, Lucy

I have received so many gifts from friends and family members for Smudge. I can’t believe how many of my blogger friends sent us things for the baby. I am so humbled and spoiled. I’ve been a little nervous to post pictures of them...

Wine Tasting the Redneck Way

December 9, 2008 in Friends, Life, Memories

Our Redneck Wine Tasting party last weekend was a blast. We only had a few friends who were able to make it (note to self: don’t plan a party in December), but it was still a lot of fun. And from the RSVPs we...

Happy Holidays

December 1, 2008 in Family, Friends, Holidays, Life, Marriage, Memories

I am always *so* ready to be home after holiday traveling. We always have a great time with our families, but by the time we leave I am definitely ready to be home with my cats and sleeping in my own bed. Our travels...

Redneck Fun

November 14, 2008 in Friends, Life, NABLOPOMO 2008

Joe and I love to throw parties. We love having people over and entertaining. And, our most recent trip to Walmart sparked the idea for our next party — a redneck wine tasting party. Yes, seeing an endcap display of $3 wine made us...

NKOTB

October 8, 2008 in Family, Friends, Life

I’m seriously starting to countdown now until the New Kids on the Block concert here in Atlanta (only 21 days away, in case you want to know). I am *so* excited. Years ago, New Kids on the Block was the first concert I went...

Ohio Weekend, Part 3: The Wedding

September 26, 2008 in Friends, Life, Memories, Travel

Saturday was the main event: Jon and Michelle’s wedding. We woke up tired after being awakened at 1 a.m. by the groom in another wedding party having a *very* loud party in the room next door. It was so bad that Joe had to...

Ohio Weekend, Part 2: Seeing Family History

September 24, 2008 in Food, Friends, Grrr, Life, Memories

We headed out of Cincinnati early Friday morning bound for Warren. We stopped in Kettering, though, so I could see Kettering College of Medical Arts, where my mom went to nursing school. I know our visit there meant a lot to my mom, but...

Rainy Night in San Francisco

August 27, 2008 in Friends, Memories, Travel

I’ve been to San Francisco a couple of times, but my favorite trip by far was my high school senior class trip. We thought we were oh so cool because we were the first class to go farther than New York City and, therefore,...
