Thankful Thursday!

Well, I realized I have been terrible with blogging!.. I have been so busy with school mainly to be able to post! So, what better way to post then to share things I am thankful for this week!!

*I am VERY thankful that school is coming to an end...very quickly!..Well at least summer semester! Next week is my final week of classes...then comes final time! Summer classes are always harder, and the classes I chose to take didn't make it any better! Everything is so fast pace, and there is always more work that comes along with it.

* A recent discovery, IBC Cherry Limeade

Thanks to Deidre, I have become addicted to Cherry Limeades...Especially from SONIC! As I was going down the grocery store isle, these caught my eye. I decided I had to try them. I opened one up yesterday and loved it! It's still not as good as SONIC, but very close!

*I am thankful for my sweet little one, Ellie.

Look at that sweet face! She is the most precious puppy. Of course she has her days where she brings out the worst in you, but she also brings out the best. I can say that she is one of the best decisions Jordyn and I have made. She has brought so much joy to our family and keeps us company. Especially me with Jordyn being away a lot. She is still very hyper, but is starting to calm down very slowly. I wouldn't trade her for anything!

* And of course, I am so thankful for the one who is holding Ellie.
My husband is the best husband anyone could ask for. He is so good about doing things around the house whether it be helping me cook(or cooking a meal by himself), laundry, or just cleaning up. He is such a big help to me, and he is very good with Ellie and if you all have dogs you know how much work they are so any help is greatly appreciated. I am so thankful to be able to be with my best friend every day. I love you Jordyn!


So..what are you thankful for this week?

Happy Anniversary!

Happy 30th Anniversary!!!!

To the best parents in the world!!!

Thank you for setting a great Godly example for Me, Jordyn, and Matt!!!

I hope you both have a great day!

I LOVE YOU!!!

Happy Father's Day!

...I know I am one day early, but Father's day for me this year is going to be different than its ever been. This is the FIRST year that I haven't been with my Dad on Father's Day :(, which is very sad.  I gave him a card and everything just like every other Father's Day but it's just not the same.

      Daddy,
             Again I'm sorry I cant be there with you on Father's Day. If I had my choice I would be home to celebrate it with you! You are the best Dad in the world! Thank you for all you do and the example you set! Jordyn and I both are so grateful for the love and support  you have given us! I hope you have the best day ever! I miss you!

                                              I love you very much!
                                                           - your little girl!
 

Happy Father's Day everyone!

Great weekend

This weekend Jordyn and I went home to be a part of my great friend Whitney's wedding!!

This is the beautiful bride, she is was in my wedding, and has been one of my closet friends for many years! I love her so much and was so honored to be apart of her big day!

What made this weekend even more special is that it was the first time my WHOLE family has been together in 3 months. My brother lives in TN, and I'm in GA now, so getting us all together is almost impossible. We go home often, but I haven't seen my brother since Jordyn and I got married. He was also apart of the wedding. Jordyn and I got home about 1:30 on Friday morning and my brother came in a few minutes after us, when we got home we all had presents on our pillows. Yes, I know we are all a little spoiled by my parents!!:)

Presents for me, Ellie, and Jordyn

We were all able to have lunch on Sunday afternoon! We had a feast- steaks, okra, squash. mac n cheese, bread, and homemade ice cream! That is truly a perk of coming home! We eat VERY well! All the family got together and took some pictures together (even all our dogs). 

ALL of My Wonderful family!!!!

Me, Jordyn, and Ellie (our little family)

Me and my brother Matt

Me and Jordyn with my other family (my sweet in-laws)

We had a wonderful weekend...it was even harder to leave this time! I am so thankful for all of my family! I truly have the best family in the world!

Ellie Update

time for an update! ....
   Ellie is doing great! She is grasping potty training, and Jordyn and I are so glad! She is learning quickly. In just a little over a week and we have grown to love her so much! We took her to the vet yesterday and she finished up her puppy shots. They also weighed her, she now weighs 4.8lbs. She is growing quickly. Here are some more recent pictures of our sweet girl!

I think she is getting a little tired of me taking pictures!

We got her a new shirt!

As you can see she didn't care for it too much...she kept trying to bite it and pull it off.

Playing with one her favorite toys (Mr. Frog:)

Sitting with her daddy!

Jordyn wanted to see if she would run with him....her little legs got tired pretty quickly.

New Addition!!

..we have a new addition to our family!

...her name is Ellie:) She is a yorkie-poo and as of yesterday she weighs 4.4lbs.!!
 She is so sweet! She is so playful and hasn't slowed down a whole lot since we got her!
...now its time to potty-train her! All your prayers will be appreciated!

Im still here....

Its been  a while...but I am still here...
....not been much to blog about...although me and Jordyn have started running on his days off......it has been somewhat of a struggle...but hopefully will be worth it in the end...
  where we live there are so many geese...we have a huge pond outside our apartment and they all love it there. The other day Jordyn was working so i decided to walk/ run by myself. I took some leftover bread to the geese...they will eat anything..so I figured instead of throwing it out, I would give them a treat!
   I soon found out that may be a bad idea...this is what I saw coming towards me..

....and this wasn't all...they multiply very quickly. Within seconds I was surrounded  with only two pieces of bread. They all started chirping and bobbing their heads and chasing me so I decided the best thing for me to do was get out of there! I threw the bread and ran off..:)

 As I was escaping..I happened to see two geese off to the side.. I got a little closer only to see that there were baby geese! I was able to watch them for a while. They were so sweet.

  I had to show Jordyn, so as soon as he got home from work we took some more bread and had another visit with the geese! I told him that this time he was in charge of giving out the bread, and I would stand off to the side.

We also have a few ducks....they spotted the food first so they all stood in line waiting on Jordyn to give them food. One ate out of his hand....and he had them all literally jumping to get the bread from his hand. I think in this picture he was trying to get them to "sit" to get some food..they don't quite listen as well as dogs do.

Here are the babies! They are so cute! Jordyn was able to get them to come close to us so we could feed them! It was so sweet but the poor kids, the mom was taking all their food so, Jordyn had to throw it far away so they could all run to it!

After a while the others realized we were there...so here we go again...Jordyn said...what am I supposed to do? I don't have any more food... My advice...RUN!!!!
