TV Last Night.

American Idol.... Hello America, you got to vote for this kid! He is awesome!!!! Last night I was so happy the judges saved him. His reaction was priceless. I felt like giving him a huge hug.

My FAVORITE artist was shown on American Idol last night. Peter Max is even going to be in St. Petersburg this Sunday for a meet the fans... I however will not be there. Darn you Tennessee! Do you think the Groom and Bride will notice if a Bridesmaid comes late.....? J/K (I can't believe I just wrote Just Kidding on my blog, whats next LOL)

The Office... most perfect proposal ever! I am going to miss Michael Scott on this show!

**********************************************************************
In my real world

My Poor baby sister is very sick. She has a stomach bug (constantly getting "sick", so much that she tore a muscle), ear infection, and sore throat. Please pray that she feels better!

Jeff and I are heading to Lake City tomorrow. I am going to miss our fur babies like crazy! But I know they are going to be in good hand with Auntie Lindsey. (Thanks Lindsey for staying at the house!) Then on Sunday we make the scary 10 hour drive. I plan on acuping myself with a book; Redeeming Love, and cross stich... yes, I cross stich and LOVE it.

Bridesmaid Troubles

Next Wednesday my brother in law Jeremy is getting married. This is the first time that I will be a bridesmaid. I will give y'all more updates about the wedding in detail, but for now I will give you a little bit. This is a destination wedding in Tennessee. We are all staying in a cabin that sleeps 35 people.
This is were I need every ones help. I am doing my own hair and makeup for the wedding. I'm just not sure which style I like the best. So here is the dress we are wearing and the shoes.



For the Makeup. I think I want to go a little dramatic with some natural (if that even make sense). I love these 4 makeup looks.

A dramatic eye with soft lips and pink cheeks.


For the Hair. Megan wants everyone to have curly hair and have it down. So these are the looks I found that I like the best.
My hair is as long as the picture on top, but I really like the bump on the picture below. I might have to combine them.
So what do y'all think? Any other ideas?

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

Hello everyone! I hope y'all are having a fabulous Wednesday!!!!

I am LOVING my favorite Bible verse

Psalm 36: 5-6

"Your love, oh Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep."

I am LOVING this picture I just found of Jeff and I. This is from my senior prom in 2004.


I am LOVING this mirror from PotteryBarn... I wonder if I can find a similar one for cheaper. HomeGoods, here I come!

I am LOVING these gardening idea from PotteryBarn. But I don't have a garden :(, so until I do these pictures will have to be saved for my future home!




I am LOVING that in one week these to will become man and wife!
(Jeff's brother and his fiance, Megan)

Weekend Recap

I hope everyone had a great weekend. My weekend was very relaxing!

On Friday Momma and I went to my Daddy's softball game to be his Cheerleaders. Daddy had an awesome game! He caught a fly ball and stole third base. Momma was so cute during the game, whenever Daddy would have a good play she would scream "that's my husband!".

Saturday I cleaned the house, worked on Etsy things and went out to dinner with this cute couple and Lindsey. Dan took us to this restaurant called Casa Tina. The food was great!
Randomly during dinner these performers came out for a 30 minute show. It was the coolest thing.


Sunday we went on the boat to celebrate my grandmothers birthday. The weather was PERFECT out!
The restaurant we went to.

The Mayo Clinic visit

I am sorry that I am just now updating everyone about our Mayo visit.

The news we received was not bad or good. Jeff's lymph nobes are the same side as last year. That is the not bad or good thing. The bad part of it, is he still has that chance that they can grow. The good part is that they have not grown.

Jeff and I have faith that everything will work out. We have so much trust in Dr. Smallridge, and the care that Mayo Clinic Jacksonville gives us. The God is good all the time!

Thank you for your prayers!!!

Why today is my Friday

After J and I get off work we are driving to Jacksonville. Now if you have read my blog for awhile y'all know that my amazing husband has had cancer. So every year we go to the Mayo Clinic for two days so J can get tested.


Last year we didn't have the best of news. So this year we are hoping the lumps are smaller and he does not have to have surgery to remove anything. I will keep everyone posted on how things are going.

Please keep us in your prayers!

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

I'm Loving that I get to finally use my new duffel this weekend!

I'm Loving the new bagel thins from Einstein Bros.

Another Hero Taken from us

I can't believe that I am writing this again. Today the City of St. Petersburg is morning the loss of Officer David Crawford. This is the third Police man killed in St. Pete in one month. Officer Crawford had over 25 years of service being a Police man. I ask my blogging family to please pray for Officer Crawfords family, friends and the St Petersburg Police Department.
