Happy Birthday To Me!

July 13, 2010 | Uncategorized

So today I turn a quarter of a century old just before 1:00 pm. I actually feel old this year. Not sure why. Maybe because 25 seems like a momentous birthday. Halfway through the 20’s. Halfway to 30 from the 20’s. Closer to 50. Yikes!
Ok  enough with being depressing. I woke up this morning to a decorated living room. Here is a taste:

Then Bobby and I went on a quick 3 mile run. I wasn’t really feeling it so we walked some. I think we are going to go to lunch and then see Toy Story 3!! Then tonight my small group Bible study is taking me to dinner. I can’t wait!

Also…still working on my patience and waiting…Hoping some of it will be resolved today. I hate feeling anxious, and I especially shouldn’t have to feel this way on my birthday!

Hope everyone has a great day, July 13th IS a great day after all!

QOTD: What is your favorite thing to do on your birthday? Any traditions?

    Happy birthday! I hope you have a great day! Sorry about the run.

    I honestly haven’t done anything special on my bday in a decade or so. I even hated having bday parties when I was a kid. I’m weird. I just enjoy eating copious amounts of cake 😉

    Hi there! What a great day to come across your blog for the first time! Happy Birthday! I adore the pink–and–are those palmetto trees in your banner? I’m originally from SC and that’s the state tree (along with the mosquito as the state bird) 🙂 Love your previous post about working out on vacation, too. I’ll definitely be reading more on your blog!

    Enjoy your b-day and Toy Story 3 (it’s so funny and sentimental)!

    Happy Birthday!! My 25th birthday was my “golden” birthday as I was born on Jan. 25…so 25 …25th…I had a huge party and it was great! Pig pickin’ and the works! I have to say that I wish I was 25 still some days!! (I think I’m kinda vain…so getting old is not my favorite thing!) 🙂 But I’m getting used to it…I’ll be 29 for the like 4th time next birthday! 🙂

    I hope you have a great birthday!

🏈🍊 Calling all Tennessee fans! Headed to Atl 🏈🍊 Calling all Tennessee fans! Headed to Atlanta for the big game Aug. 30? Make Signia by Hilton Atlanta your home base (or your pregame headquarters). It’s the closest hotel to Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Atlanta’s newest luxury hotel is packed with everything you need to kick off football season in style— a sports bar next to the stadium, a beautiful Lobby Bar for post-game drinks as you wait out traffic, a serene boutique spa and unbeatable game-day energy.

From rooftop pool vibes + @spasigniaatlanta treatments to cold brews + stadium views at @nestonfour sports bar — and  @capolineaatlanta (one of the best places to eat in downtown Atlanta) — you’ll be right in the heart of the action.

5th grade. ✏️ 🍎 📚 Today she left eleme 5th grade. ✏️ 🍎 📚 

Today she left elementary school to change classes all by herself, do homework on a Chromebook, and basically be a grown up at school. 😭

How did we get here? She was just lifting her arms up saying “mommy, hold you!” And it felt like yesterday. It’s bittersweet watching her grow, but I know she is going to do amazing things. She’s got a special fire inside of her that can’t be taught, and I know it will take her far in life.

Chase your dreams baby girl. We will always be right here cheering you on. 🩷 @theprincessek

Summer photo dump ☀️ Emma Kate starts school Summer photo dump ☀️ 

Emma Kate starts school tomorrow, so I guess summer is officially over. 😭 It’s bittersweet. I’m excited to be back into a routine and fall is my favorite, but I will miss lazy mornings and traveling on a whim and not having to help with homework. 😵‍💫

Here is a carousel of some of my favorite moments. From basketball tournaments to travels down to south Florida and back, Atlanta, Asheville, Tuscaloosa, Pigeon Forge, and all the way to Disneyland, and my 40th birthday plus 4th of July, tiny house camping and Opryland for Bobby’s birthday, we packed a lot into the past 2.5 months. 

I never want to forget these special moments with my little family. Memories to last a lifetime that I thank God for. 🩷

Have your kids started school yet?
