We're Still Here...

I haven't forgot about this blog, I have just been exhausted I guess you can say!  I'm hoping with the holidays coming up I will have more to blog about... A little news about my little Sis, she is transferring out of Key West **hopefully** and just MIGHT be moving to Chicago!! You don't know how EXCITED this makes me that its a possiblity.  It is SO hard to have a sibiling live that far away... Seeing her 4 times a year just isn't enough!!

Some of you are probably thinking why go from the above to the below, but the girl loves her some coats so I think she would adjust just fine.  And she will only be a few hours from home.  

She is able to come home for Christmas this year, last year she was out at sea- and WOW talk about a hard Christmas, I don't know how people who have loved ones over sea do it!  Anyways, I will quit rambling and try to be a better blogger!!

Nothing going on

I haven't blogged in a week and there is a reason--- Nothing going on!! :)  I did enjoy a 3 day weekend, why can't every weekend be a 3 day-er?? Anyways Friday night we went out for dinner with Michael's parents and sister at the Country Club.  Saturday we stayed home and cheered on the Tide! :) They won, but it took them the whole first half to get their heads outta their asses!  Sunday we went to church and they had their annual service out at a timber with lots of fun stuff for kids to do.  After Church we came home and Michael watched football and I took naps on and off, lazy right? ha. Sunday evening we went and had dinner at his Moms'. Sunday night I went to my moms and watched Bridesmaids with her and my sister--GREAT movie, I suggest you see it if you haven't already. Monday, I did about what I did Sunday minus church and throw in a few loads of laundry. It was a very relaxing weekend, which that is all I seem to care to have these days.

Chill Weekend

This past weekend we really didn't do a whole lot.  Friday night we went to the PC football game mainly to watch my two favorite twin girls cheer!! And they did awesome- I will post some pics from that sometime this week.  Saturday morning Michael woke up not feeling the greatest, he managed to clean the windows while I scrubbed down the inside of the house.  By noon he was feeling pretty awful and was on the couch the rest of the day.  I made him some of these yummy things:

I ran to the store Saturday afternoon to get groceries and get Michael some cold meds.

We stayed in the rest of the night and cheered on our favorite football team, and they kicked some gator ass! :) I only made it until half time before I passed out on the couch.

Very relaxing/ lazy weekend for us.  We didn't end up going to church Sunday because Michael was still feeling pretty icky.  I made a quick trip to Bloomington with my mom Sunday to return a few things and of course I made the mistake of stopping at Von Maur and Express and well lets just say it would've been a very inexpensive trip if I hadn't of made those two stops!

Game Day

Sorry for not posting in a week, I have been exhausted.  All the festives last weekend kicked my butt, I was in bed by 8 almost every night this week! Anyways, on to the game, these are the pictures Michael took while there, he didn't get a ton because he was so in to the game.  He said the atmosphere was NUTS, it was sooo loud in there it was hurting his ears!  There was even one point the announcer came across the TV and said that it tends to get a 'little' loud at the stadium- ya think?  Here are the pictures:

Coach Sabin

Michael had taped the game so we re-watched a little every night last week!

Nothing better than some Alabama football.. Speaking of Bama football, did you see them kill the Gators last night?! I watched until half time and then fell asleep on the couch! oops! From what I saw in the first half it was a great game, then Michael said they pretty much just smoked them in the second half!! Have a fabulous Sunday, another day full of football at our house!

Tuscaloosa Day 1

Wow, where do I even begin... Perhaps the long drive Thursday night?  We got to the hotel at 4 AM Friday morning, we slept till about 9 walked across to the street for breakfast at Cracker Barrel then back to the room to get ready for the day.  Friday was a L-O-N-G day, but it was a lot of fun.  I will quite rambling and just let the pictures do the talking. We went to the Bear Bryant Museum, Dad was dying to go to this, it was pretty neat.

My Grandpa is #32 (3rd row, 4th in from the left)

This explains the picture above of the shirt

Front of the Stadium

Michael saw Gary Danielson outside one of the buildings on campus and took off running up to him to shake his hand.  We also saw Vern Lindquist.  It was a fun day Friday but needless to say when we finally got back to the hotel at 10 pm I was out, until 2:30  am when some random lady opened our door and I had to yell at her from the bed because my husband was next to me snoring away--- Make me feel REAL safe! haha Hopefully tomorrow I will post pictures Michael took of the game.

Roll Tide Roll...

This is where we'll be tomorrow!!! :) BAMA vs. RAZORBACKS game!! Make sure you cheer on Bama tomorrow--- game is at 2:30.. :)

The hubs in his Bama gear!

This will be sporting my Bama gear!!

Michael, My Mom and Dad and I all took off today, we actually headed down last night, long drive!  But we are ready to cheer on our favortie team in person... Pics to come when we get back!! :) ROLL TIDE ROLL...

Gulf Shores

I figured since we are returning to Alabama this weekend what more appropriate than to post on our vacation from Alabama, right?  Like always it was a GREAT trip but went by wayyy to fast.  Its a lot of relaxing, lounging in the pool, eating lots of good food, naps you know, the good stuff.  The condo we rented for the second year in a row is simply AMAZING (maybe I'll post pics of the room, its one post in itself.) I failed miserably and didn't take a lot of pictures.  These are some of the ones I did manage to get.. Enjoy!!

Michael enjoying the balcony view & the chair!!

I asked him to look at me so I could take his picture this is what he did-- typical!

My Family... :)

If you have never been to Gulf Shores-- GO, it is simply AMAZING. My summer is not complete until I have had a week at this place. Its the most relaxing and care-free week of my life and i L-O-V-E every second of it. I do have a funny story to share about Michael the first day we arrived, I will save that for another time

Can you feel the love yet?

The last wedding (for this year at least) was a friend of mine, Ashley & Troy... They had been dating foreverrr! They are seriously so cute, I have SO many great memories with both of them ahh to be in high school again... We had so much fun at the reception, but I'm thinking that we should of slowed down on the margaritas at Jess's before we went to the reception.. haha our table was slightly intoxicated! Oh well thats what wedding receptions are for right?  I will leave you with some pictures from Ash and Troy's special night (I say night because I didn't take any pictures of the ceremony) Oops!!

The Newlyweds cutting the cake!! :)

The Bride with her maids... Ashley I borrowed this pic from you!! Aren't they gorgeous!?

Us girls

Me and the Hubs (please excuse me I look like I'm about to pass out!)

Cabo Wedding

So here is the Cabo wedding Michael was in, it was amazing!!! It really makes me sad that we weren't able to go through with our beach wedding we had planned (oil spill ruined it). There is no better background for pictures than the beach.  It was a great night minus the photographer loosing the brides ring in the sand, they found it though after searching for a half hour or so... I felt so bad for Jes (the bride).  But all was well afterwards.. I got pretty tipsy on martini's-- whoa are those things strong! ha  Anyways, I will leave you with some of the pics from that day/night...

I thought this was so cute their little guy ran up to them, right in between!!

The beautiful set-up

I just love this picture of him... :)

Missing Someone

I miss this girl....

This is only the 2nd time I have seen her in this uniform!!

Call me crazy or whatever you wish, but sometimes I miss her so much it makes me cry!! :(   It is so hard to have someone soooo far away, I mean Key West isn't a jump in the car kinda drive... Hopefully that location will be changing soon though... Fingers being crossed and prayers being said!! :)  Christmas can't get here soon enough!  I promise I will finish posting Cabo pics this week!! Have a fabulous Monday (ha- If thats possible, what mondays are fabulous???)

Roll Tide...

Its game day, so you know what that means.... ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!
