My Loves

Long time no blog!

(I know I can be really cheesy sometimes

but you know you love it!)

After an awesome trip to Washington DC,

(blog post to follow at a later date)

I began thinking about all the things I love in life!

#1 The South

Let me just tell you how many people

love the south!

While in DC, I of course talked a everyone

and when they found out I was from Alabama

they were so enthusiastic

and wanted to talk about the differences

and listen to me talk!

We really are blessed to live somewhere

people take the time to be neighbors

and aren't always in a hurry!

And we have REAL sweet tea!

#2 Falling asleep listening to thunder

Oh my gosh!

I sleep SO well when it is raining or thundering outside!

Rain is so calming and I love curling up for a good book or movie

and fall asleep while it is thundering!

Many times on our road trips from south Florida

to Alabama for Christmas

it would rain,

and I just loved riding in the car with Lindsey

in the backseat watching movies on the mini TV and VCR

Mom rigged up for us!

#3 Sewing (my new hobby)

So this is my new obsession!

I am in the process of making some "happies"

and I am loving learning how to sew!

There are endless possibilities with fabric and sewing

and I am thrilled to have another creative outlet!

Blog post and pictures to come soon!

#4 Making the people I love "happies"

On that note,

I also LOVE giving "happies"!

Giving gifts is my love language

so happies just come natural to me!

Definition of a "happy":

Anything that makes someone happy

by giving it to them!

I recently painted some cute little cupcakes

for my Gigi's girls!

Before jetting off to DC,

I was able to stop in Tuscaloosa

and give the paintings to my girlfriends!

So much fun!

#5 The wonderful people in my life

God has truly blessed me with some

amazing relationships!

I could not ask for a better family or group of friends!

I love you all!!!

My girlies with their happies!

Happy Wednesday!
