Beach bound

July 9, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Good morning everyone! I leave for the beach today with hubby and my parents! The dog/housesitter will be here in an hour and we are nowhere NEAR ready to go! So I have to make this quick! I have a few guest posts lined up for you so please come back and share some love for them ok?

I will be back on on birthday on Wednesday, with lots of fun beach pictures and stories (hopefully) to share!

mommy please don’t leave me!

————————————————–

so running…yeah, my knee hurts this morning. bleh! going to take it easy on the trip, maybe run 1-2 times easy and short mileage, but that’s it. I have got to get this thing well so I can get back to training. I was starting to get faster/stronger and I don’t want to lose that! Off to foam roll and then pack, have a great weekend everyone!

QOTD: Would you rather have a chance encounter with a snake or a dog on a run?

    Have fun!! I’m going to the beach next week. I’ve not been in 6yrs!! I’ve encountered snakes and dogs alot. Yesterday I stopped to fix my ipod and I looked down and there was a 3 foot blacksnake! That’s the 3rd one I’d seen this summer. I run alot at the State park with lots of trails. When I run on the roads I get chased by dogs. Once it was a rotweiler(cant spell)! So, I prefer neiither, but as bad as the snakes scare me, I feel like the dogs could harm me first. I only have to deals with the snakes in summer, the dogs are yearlong.

🏈🍊 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.

🎃👻 Getting ready for Halloween at Walt Disne 🎃👻 Getting ready for Halloween at Walt Disney World is half the fun!

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?
