Congrats Tim!!!

Way to go Tim!
This was a few weeks ago but, I never got to make a post.

State Farms newest insurance agent!

Tim, we are so happy for you! We were glad we got to celebrate with you and Leigh!

Weekend Wrap Up

Saturday morning Ryan went back to the golf course to play golf while I had a lazy day around the house. While I was being lazy on the couch the yard people that are putting the grass in the three houses that were just built next to us came over and said they were here to seed our backyard. I wasn't going to argue but, Lucy was back there so I had to walk her over to Tim's to hang out for the next few days. Thanks Tim! Ryan finally got home about 4, so we decided to put our new grill together. Ryan is super excited because now we can have friends over to grill out with a real grill. Here is Ryan putting his grill together.

Our backyard that is now blue. But you can see it needs some help!



Already to grill!

Saturday night we picked up Tim and Leigh and headed over to Joshua's house (where Ryan used to live) to celebrate Adam and Eden getting married! It was a fun pool side party. It was a lot of fun getting to see all our friends that we don't always get to see.


Adam and Eden.The Groom and Bride! They are perfect for each other! They are so much fun!

Sunday morning Ryan and I headed to church. We sat with our friends Damon and Brooke and talked to them for a while after church! Then we did our food shopping for the next few weeks. Then we ate at Taco Bell....Not my favorite but I can do it about once every six months. Then we came home and cleaned house. For dinner we planned on eating our steaks and wedding cake that we bought a long time ago and never ate. . So we had our wedding cake/key lime pie that they gave us the night of our wedding 2 months later. But, I do love frozen cake and it was still really good!


Ryan had key lime pie and I had wedding cake! So good! I am glad we finally got to enjoy some of our wedding and I guess we will do it again in 10 months!

Friday Night Fun!

Friday afternoon I got to kept one of my favorite babies in the entire world! Sallie! We played for a while then she took a nap and then we played some more! I just love hanging out with her! She is such a happy baby! I can't believe that she will be turning ONE next month! It makes me so sad!!!
Look at that big smile! She loved my camera!
Nothing sweeter than a cute little baby sleeping!
She loves to chew on the remotes! I had to hide them all!
This sweet little thing hated her car seat for the first 6 months of her life, so I found it really funny she wanted to play in it! And she thought it was so funny!


Friday Night

This weekend is the big golf tournament at Fayetteville Country Club that Ryan always plays in. They have a big party on Friday night with great food and a band. We went and met the McDaniel's and the James'. We didn't stay to late since the boys were there so late the night before and they were playing golf early Saturday morning!

Me, Heather, and Amy

SHOW US YOUR LIFE-Wedding Dress!

My wedding dress. I absolutely LOVED my wedding dress! I wish I could put it on everyday! We got married just over 2 months ago and we don't have our wedding pictures back yet so I had to use the ones from my online gallery at The Hudson's site. My wedding dress came from Proposal's in Little Rock.


These were taken in April during my bridal portrait session.

I wore a ivory satin strapless dress by La Sposa. It had a sweetheart neckline (I added that feature). The fitted bodice and skirt had an asymmetrical wrapped satin design that flared into a fuller skirt at the extreme dropped wasit. On the left side was a flower which I added as well! My veil was elbow length and my friends that she wore in her wedding.


An up close picture of the buttons that went halfway down my back.


The dress hanging at my mom's before we left for the church.
Here are my shoes. I loved them about as much as I loved my dress. They were also from Proposal's.

Here is my dress when I was trying it on in the store.

2 Months!

Today, Ryan I have been married for 2 months. It had gone by so fast. We had a little mini celebration last night since this weekend is full of the BIG golf tournament. Ryan cooked me dinner and then we went and got a sno-cone and just talked. Everything has been crazy lately so I was glad to slow down and just take time for ourselves.


This is what we spend most of our days doing.


She just loved her pool!

My Classroom!

My mom came this weekend to help me finish my classroom. I am so glad she came. I would still be working if she didn't come to help. I feel pretty good about how it looks! There are a few more things to do, but other than that I am ready for the students!!!

The extra supplies and the trays where the students will turn in their work. Yes, I know I am missing two labels on the drawers.

My Favorite....

Well one of my least favorite things to do is clean my bathroom. I REALLY hate cleaning the shower. We have that shower cleaner stuff that sprays in a circle when you get out, but I don't think it really works.
But, if I am going to clean the shower I am not going to do it without Tilex Mold and Mildew cleaner. It is the best. You just spray it on and wipe all the soap scum away! The stuff can work wonders!

GUESS WHAT!!!

We were on our way home from the McDaniel's house out in Tontitown and we decided to try a new way home and we found the DUGGAR'S house!

I laughed so hard! I was so sad I didn't have my camera. But we figured out that they really only live about 10 minutes from us!!! I'll go back! They had a lot of cars and a huge tour bus outside their house. So I guess they were filming. I should have stopped and made my claim to fame! Oh well!!

Project Complete!

Last night I finished one my many projects!
Here is my new little frame bulletin board!
I just love how it turned out!



I made it out of an old picture frame that I picked up at a thrift shop, chicken wire, clothes pins, and ribbon! Super easy and great fun!

My Favorite....

Here is another one of my favorites!

At most every holiday meal with my family we have Sister Schubert Rolls!
They are the best. My favorite is the one out of the middle! I have to admit that this morning I had the rolls with the sausage in the middle! I was so happy!! I saved some so I will be having them for breakfast in the morning! Hope your having a great Monday!

Not Me Monday!

Well, it is a first to participate in this!



I mostly certainly did NOT delete all my honeymoon pictures the night before we came home from St. Lucia. I mostly certainly did NOT have an emotional break down right then and there in front of people and cry for 30 minutes. My husband was great and we most certainly did NOT change clothes 12 times in about 24 hours to go back and retake the pictures. Nope not me!

When we got home took take my camera to Bedford's to see if they could recover my deleted pictures and when I found out they got a few of them back, I mostly certainly did NOT break out in tears and cry when they showed them to me. Therefore I got them for free! Thanks!

Last week was my sister-in-law's birthday and I was going to take her to lunch. She works off the Fayetteville Square and I did NOT drive around the square several times before finding her office (that I have been to several times).

My new painting!

Yesterday went I went to check my mail that was in the street, I found a package hanging off the side of it! This is what my package was!
My wonderful friend Rachie, painted me this painting for my new classroom! I can't wait to take it up there and hang it up! I just love getting things for my classroom! I get even more excited when it has my name on it! Thanks Rachie! Your the best!
