Georgia on my mind!

What a great weekend!!

Wednesday night Jamiee and I went to her parent’s house and curled up in a (not so big) RV! At about 3am Thursday morning we rolled through and picked up my brother and sister in-law and hit the road! It was a long LONG 13-hour ride to Ludowici, GA! Once we finally got there, we said our long over due hellos and grilled some burgers for dinner! Meaghan and Trevor, Jamiee’s oldest niece and her now husband, had to drive in from Jacksonville, FL so they got there about 8 Thursday night. We had such a blast laughing and talking all night!

Friday morning when we got up, Jacque, Jamiee, Kayla, and Jamiee’s parents all went to Wal-Mart and the grocery store to grab some things for the weekend festivities! Jacque’s husband, Mike, is retired military so we went to the store on base! It was my first time ever being on a military base so they drove me around and showed me where they lived when they did live on base! It was really neat!

They have an area of trees planted for the fallen soldiers from that base; it was really upsetting seeing how many trees there actually were!

When we got back to the house we got to hang out and relax for a little while, I made Michael a slideshow for graduation. It was so much fun to make because I was able to go through old pictures and since I wasn’t around while they grew up, I felt like I was there! HAHA They really enjoyed watching it and I just loved being a part of it! Friday night Michael graduated from Long County High School!! He looked so handsome in his cap and gown and we were all so proud of him! He is a BADASS guitar player with incredible dreams of making it big, which I have no doubt in my mind he will conquer those dreams! I can’t wait to be in the front row screaming, “THAT’S MY NEPHEW!!!” We are definitely proud of that young man.

We had a graduation party for Michael on Saturday; it was such a fantastic party! We set up a volleyball net and Michael brought out his guitar! We all just sat around and relax, had a few drinks (and by few I mean we went through a few coolers full of drinks). It was just a great time getting to relax and catch up with the family!

Jacque and Mike have some friends named Cory and Mary; they’re the definition of a badass!!! We love them! They have the most precious one year old named Serenity. Mary made some Apple Pie Moonshine Saturday afternoon for the wedding on Sunday, 3 gallons of it! It was delicious, although I was only able to have a few sips, just to say I’ve tried it!

We had a pretty relaxing morning Sunday, or at least as relaxing as you can have before setting up for a wedding! Jacque, Jamiee’s mom, and my other sister in-law went about noon and met up with Meaghan and Kayla at the hotel to help them get ready. Michael, Jamiee, and I went to Trevor’s parents house to finish setting up. We had gone over the day before to get as much done as possible so all we would have to do was set out the flower arrangements the day of! Her theme was kind of country/rustic and she did SUNFLOWERS!! It was absolutely beautiful! The weather got a little cloudy and thundered for a few minutes but all in all it turned out perfect! Meaghan looked breathtaking and Trevor looked so handsome! They make a wonderful couple and I’m so glad I can say I was there and got to help out for the wedding. 

I made a slideshow for Meaghan and Trevor as a little wedding present and we played it during the reception! It was so fun to make and watch. Everyone really loved it!

We loaded up the RV Monday morning and headed home, it was definitely hard saying goodbye to the Frey family! Michael actually came back with us and is going to be staying for a month or so! We are incredibly excited about that!!! :)

When I got to work Tuesday, the air conditioning was out and it is now Thursday and we are FINALLY getting it fixed!! Needless to say….I am melting!

Overall we had a FANTASTIC little Memorial Day vacation and got to some long overdue family time!

I can't wait for the next few weeks, we are going to the Sevendust concert in Tunica, and we will be doing a lot of fun things with Michael being in town!! It's going to make for some awesome blogs! Stay tuned!<3

Fusion, movie night, and headed to GA!!

Wow!! I can’t believe I have gone an entire month without a blog post! If there are any of you out there that still read this…THANK YOU AND I’M SORRY! :D My little sister Addie text me yesterday and asked me to write a post this week because it had been a month! I really don’t even know where to start…

Well Jamiee and I are still going to the gym! CLAP CLAP and I am down 6lbs (not anywhere near where I want to be and its been a little discouraging lately) but we are sticking with it! I know that I need to completely step up my cardio game to get where I want/need to be but recently my shins have been killing me when I run. I have come to the conclusion I have shin splints, which sucks when all you want to do is run! I do try and push through them as much as I can but it seems everyday I can push a little less. :’( Although I have been going at least once (sometimes twice) a week to Fusion!! It is so much fun and seriously the best cardio I have ever had!Check them out here :) I can’t seem to get Jamiee to go with me because she doesn’t like to dance but my sister, Taylor, and her friends go with me and so does Nichole, who introduced me to this gift!

Last weekend we went to the flea market with my family, I got the cutest tank top, some new plugs, and a new nose ring!!

We also had a fun movie night last week; we busted out the air mattress and watched a few movies! One of which was 21 Jump Street!! Not really sure why it took us soooo long to watch it because it was AMAZING!! I can’t wait for the second movie to come out next month!

We are getting ready to go out of town to see Jamiee’s nephew graduate and then her niece is getting married!! It’s going to be a great weekend filled with fun, family, and FOOD! (I’m sure it will be great for our diet!) But that is okay because it will be totally worth it! I haven’t met Jamiee’s (now mine :D) brother in-law yet so I am incredibly excited about that and of course I am stoked to see my sister in-law and nieces and nephew! We are taking a RV down there, I believe it’s a 13 hour drive….so that should be fun!

Next weeks blog should be really good, and yes I promise I’ll actually post one!

Once again sorry it’s been a while and sorry this post is a little short.  I hope everyone has a fun safe Memorial Day weekend! <3

Finally back! its been a while..

Wow! It has been a while, SORRY!! We have been so busy lately. I believe the last we left off it was my birthday! J Well the next week Jamiee and I started back at the gym and have been going ever since! So far so good! I’m 2 weeks in and down 3lbs (gotta start somewhere!) The weekend after my birthday, my family volunteered at my aunt’s church for her annual Special Needs Easter Egg Hunt. We had a blast as always, we work the food! It’s such a great way to interact with every single person that comes through there!

Each Sunday we are both off so we try to change up our daily cardio, two weeks ago we went to Shelby Farms and rented bikes! We went on a 6+ mile ride!! It was fantastic, and such a great workout!

Last week, we went to our friend John’s house for a bonfire for his stepdad’s birthday! We had so much fun, plus it was cheat day and I had been looking forward to it for the entire week! PIZZZAAAA!!! We got Papa Murphy’s; if you have never had it I HIGHLY recommend it! We love Papa Murphy’s it is a Take N’ Bake pizza place and it is fantastic! We just got pepperoni and it lived up to every expectation I had! The bonfire was great and we got to hangout with some awesome people.

That Sunday, Jamiee and I met John, Josh, and John’s daughter Gabby at the park in Shelby Farms. We had a great time; we threw the Frisbee and then did the ropes course and played on the slides! After we left there J and I went to the dog park and walked around there for our cardio! I love getting to see all the dogs running around! Next time we will definitely take one of our dogs.

Monday we woke up to some terrible news, Jamiee’s grandfather, Daddy Pete, passed away. He has been in the hospital but it was still a surprise and it hit us rather hard. Needless to say this week has been a very crumby one! We had visitation Wednesday and the funeral Thursday and it was beautiful. Jacque, Jamiee’s sister, lives in Georgia and couldn’t make it to Tennessee for the funeral so she called The Patriot Guard Riders to attend. Our Mission

“The Patriot Guard Riders is a 100% Volunteer, Federally registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization which ensures dignity and respect at memorial services honoring Fallen Military Heroes, First Responders and Honorably Discharged Veterans.”  It was truly amazing! What a wonderful way to send off a wonderful man! I didn’t know him all that long but after one family holiday with him you knew how big his heart was and how he loved and cared for his family! It was a blessing being able to know him! Daddy Pete will be forever loved and missed.

Tuesday night, while looking for pictures of Daddy Pete at Jamiee's parents house we came across some epic photos...

YOU'RE WELCOME :))

Thursday we had an article come out in the Commercial Appeal! It was so fun, and there is a picture of us right in front. I look incredibly awkward and silly but it was still such an honor being in it!

It has been a crazy few weeks and tonight we finally get to go see Divergent!!!!! I am SO excited! :D

Birthday weekend!!! The big 2-5!!!!

I turned 25 this week!! WOOHOO!!! It was really an amazing week too! I am so blessed to have the friends and family that I have and got to spend my birthday weekend with!

Friday night, my family and Jamiee’s parents went to dinner at Joe’s Crab Shack! We had so much yummy food! I got the coolest drink it was in a pineapple!! Jamiee got me two balloons and the cake I have said I wanted every time we walk through Kroger for the past 8 months! :D Mrs Patrice got me this beautiful Audrey Hepburn picture that I saw at the Spring Crafts Fair a few weeks ago. My parents and sisters got me the nail polish I have been looking for, a Cinderella keychain (because she’s my favorite), new makeup brushes, and a $25 Chili’s gift card! We had a fantastic time food, drinks, family, and laughs what more could a girl ask for!?!?

Saturday after work Jamiee and I made homemade pizza and hot wings for dinner. After dinner we went to Spectrum for my birthday with John and Josh! We don’t typically go to the club because we are pretty much an old married couple and have more fun having dinner and playing games at home with friends!

Sunday was my actual birthday and it was FANTASTIC!!! Jamiee cooked me French toast in bed and then we went to John’s house! After that John, Josh, John’s sister Miranda, Jamiee and I went to play putt putt!! In almost three years I have only won putt putt once! HAHA Sunday was another loss for me, but I wasn’t in last place, just didn’t beat Jamiee! After putt putt Jamiee and I went to Chili’s and used my gift card! I love Chili’s and could literally eat it every single day!

We started back at the gym Monday so it looks like I won’t be having Chili’s (at least the way I want it) anytime soon!

I’ve had a great birthday weekend! It was one of the bests I’ve had in a very long time! I can’t tell you the last time I actually blew out candles on my birthday cake.

24 was such an amazing year for me! I got married to my best friend, we moved into a house I hope to stay in for a few years until we are ready to purchase, I got a great new car that I love so much. I also began working at the greatest place I could ask for doing something I love!! I cannot wait to see what this next year brings to me, maybe a baby?!?! Who knows! There is so much out there that I want to do and see over the next year and I can’t wait to share it with you!
