Do You Have These in a Nine?


Oh for the love of shoes!

Yes.
It is true.
I have a love obsession with shoes.

If I were a rich girl
(throwback to some Gwen Stefani days)
I would have the most extravagant collection of shoes EVER!

Trust me,
the right pair of shoes will fix anything!

My fabulous weekend started on Thursday night
when Daphne High School was featured on
 the Bright Lights Football on Fox Sports South
in the series called Us vs. Y'all.

They played Fairhope High School,
which is like ten minutes down the road
so it is a HUGE rivalry.
Since my high school did not have football,
seeing how seriously they took this game was crazy!

They had a huge jumbo screen set up for replays,
a flyover by the Coast Guard,
fireworks when someone scored
and confetti for the winning team!

It was nuts!
So fun and Daphne played great as usual!

Then Saturday,
me and Lu went shopping!
Her Homecoming dance is two weeks away
and she needed some shoes to go with her dress
and who better to shop for shoes than me right?

We hit Old Navy first and they were having a HUGE sale,
and we both racked up on some cute clothes!
Then we got in my car to check out Shoe Station
and what do ya know
I'm out of gas!

Yep.
Completely out.
As in the car won't even start.
I have never had this happen before I swear!
Anyways, luckily Daddy was just around the corner watching football
at my Grandmother's house
so he brought us a gallon of gas!
Hehe...

Once we made it to Shoe Station,
Lu didn't find anything,
but I found some precious nude suede wedge heels!
Oh my gosh they are so pretty!
And they were on sale!!!!
I sprayed them with some Scotch Guard when we got home
so they won't ruin if they get wet!
I CANNOT WAIT TO WEAR THEM!

We then hit Dillard's and Lu
found the perfect pair of Jessica Simpson red heels
for her dress!
We got her dress at a little boutique two weeks ago
it is a black one shoulder and she looks GORGEOUS in it!
The shoes just completed the outfit!
AAHH she is going to be the most beautiful girl at the dance!

We had fun shopping and bonding
and of course finding some awesome shoes too!

This afternoon,
me, Lu and our cousin went and saw the new Footloose.
It was SO good!
I just recently saw the original
and the remake stays true to the storyline
it is just updated!
We all agreed that the dancing, acting and singing
(they redid the original songs)
were great!

I came home to find my very own coffee pot on the kitchen counter!
Mom got me my own so we don't have to share anymore!
She and Daddy drink much stronger coffee than I do
so we always have to wait for each other to be done...
it was a pain, but now I have my own!
YAY!
Thanks Mommy!

Just finished folding laundry and cleaning my room
and I am SO ready for bed!
I'm getting too old to stay up this late...
great!




AMEN!

Is This Real Life?

Well ladies and gentlemen,
the time has come...
I am officially a grown-up.

Maybe not in ever aspect of the word,
but working 7-4 Monday through Friday
in the corporate office
with casual Fridays
and paying for insurance
sounds like adult life to me.

Where have the years gone?
I miss the says when all I had to worry about
was who I'm gonna play with after school.
Cheeseburger or chicken nuggets with my happy meal.
What else can I use to build my fort.

Oh the sweet innocence of childhood.

It's been a while since I have given y'all an update
so I will try to keep it short!

About a month ago I started a new job in Mobile.
It is a temp to hire position so I don't want to go into detail
but I LOVE it so far!

The people I am working with are amazing
and I love everything about the job so far!
Praying that God will keep
opening and shutting doors for me!

Living with the parents is difficult at times,
but it is great to be home after three years away!

Missy LOVES her aunts
and is enjoying having a big yard to run around!

My grandfather passed away about a month ago.
He had been in the VA nursing home for about a year and a half
when he caught pneumonia.
He lived a full life and is now walking and talking with Jesus!

At his funeral service, he was buried with military honors after serving 23 years in the Navy,
and they had a 21 gun salute and presented a flag to my grandmother.
It was one of the coolest things and I am so happy
that my grandfather was honored that way!

It has been a change not living in Tuscaloosa during football season!
It is strange to sit on the couch and watch the games.
But we are having a GREAT season
and I am gonna make it up to ttown for the Tennessee and LSU games!
ROLL TIDE!

Gotta catch up on my DVR shows now!
Hahaha oh what a life...
