Lunch with highschool friends

Today is a day I have been looking forward to for weeks! I headed up to Atlantic Station to meet up with friends from high school. The cool thing is we all haven't been together in 13 years. On my way there I kept thinking I wonder if anyone has really changed and that answer would be NO...we all still look the same no kidding.

Holly has moved to South Carolina due to her job. Kelly is in Locust Grove. Callie is in Sandy Springs. Jennifer is in Kenasaw and Laura is in Marietta. It was so nice to see everyone and hear all about their kids and husbands.

To give you a background on everyone I actually met everyone but, Laura in elementary school. I then met Laura in middle school and then the whole group came together in high school. Jennifer and I were in homeroom together all 4 years of high school and after high school Callie and I had an apartment in McDonough together.

Laura and I cheered with each other in middle school and then we all cheered with each other in high school. I have so MANY memories of the girls and made so many more today!

We promise we would keep this up and not wait another 13 years before seeing each other again :)

Ansley goes to cheer camp :)

Today I headed south to watch Ansley at cheer camp! I was so excited about seeing her at her camp....being an "old" cheerleader myself. The high school that Jennifer works at held a mini cheer camp as a fundraiser for the cheerleading squad.

Ansley was all smiles and full of spirit! She had a blast learning her cheers, chants, dances and jumps. I think she loved getting to know the "big" cheerleaders and I can't wait to go and watch her in September at Howard's first home game :0

After my "mini" vacation with Callie I headed straight back to McDonough to eat with my family. We had a great night at Logan's Steakhouse which was very yummy! It was so nice to spend time with my parents, grandmother, aunt & uncle and cousins. We have a few birthday's in July so of course we had a cake to celebrate the occasion.

Enjoy!

Spend the night party :)

Yesterday afternoon I headed up to the north side of the ATL to hangout with one of my favorite people & her baby. Callie and I have been friends forever and now she has Jack for me to love on when I go and see her. Matt her husband was out of town on business so we planned to hangout while she was "single" for the night.

When I finally arrived we got all caught up on what has been going on with each one of us and the headed out to dinner....yummy! Later that night after Jack went down to sleep Callie and I stayed up soooo late. It was so nice just to sit back and talk about what has changed in our lives since we were roomies.

Here is a few shots I got from my "mini" 2 day vacation! I can't wait to do it again :)

Callie and her sweet boy Jack


I love this picture....how sweet!

Waterfalls here we come!

Tonight I went down to High Falls Waterpark for Nicholas & Jon Michael's birthday party!! It was full of fun, giggling kids and LOTS of water :) It was a load of fun to see all the kids going down the waterfalls over & over & over....I think they would have done it all night if the park would have allowed it.

Here is a quick slide show of the party :)

Cousin Time!

Kelsey, my niece and I met up with my cousin DeeAnn and her two daughters today for lunch and a movie. What movie you ask???? Hannah Montana of course! We had two little girls with us what else would we go see. In case you didn't know in Fayette county there is a $1.00 theater but, if you go on Monday's they are only 50 cents! WOOHOO :) They loved the movie and I guess I will admit it was pretty cute. Here are some cute pics of the girls....

Good Food & Good Times With Family....

If you know me you know I LOVE being with my family & friends. Tonight we had a small cookout and party for my cousin Brittany who is now the "old" age of 24! Wow, I remember when I was that age....many, many moons ago :) We had some really good food grilled chicken....ha, ha I love me some chicken. Oh, there was also some ribs there but, I don't eat that. We had a great time talking, laughing and talking some more. I love family gatherings....I love my family! I hope Brittany had a great day and I wish her many more years for us all to celebrate together! MUAH cuz :)

4th of July 2009

Today I found myself thinking what does this day stand for to me? Independence, freedom, remembrance of military men & women? All of these is what I came up with. It is also one of those days where I found myself stopping and thinking how lucky I am to live in America. You will never see me signing up to be in any branch of the military for many reasons but, I think highly of the men & women who serve this country everyday. It takes a lot to have a "job" that puts your live in danger. I also hold the women and men who are married to those who serve to a higher standard. I can only imagine what it is like to help pack your husband or wife up and send them off to war not knowing if they will come back to you again. What about the mom and dad who send their child off to serve our country wondering in the back of their mind will he be back for me to hug again. I think highly of each and everyone of you and pray for you on a daily basis...may God be with you.

I thought today's blog would be a great time to share my pictures from the Memorial wall here in McDonough. My paw-paw was one of the brave men who served our country.

Water, Water EVERYWHERE

Today was GREAT! My mom, Ansley, Ashlynn & myself met up with my cousin Christy her two boys Brodie & Colt along with her parents at high falls. We had nice picnic next to the falls. It was so nice to eat outside and listen to the water except for the dang flys!!!! While the adults cleaned up lunch the kids ran around and played then of course we went and took pictures in front of the waterfall. Later we went to the water park at high falls the kids loved every moment of it so much none of them wanted to leave. The water park had a cool pirate ship with slides which we spent most of our time at along with the pool. I think the funniest thing I head all day was from Ansley. I told her we were gonna go swim in the "kiddie" pool and she said oh, I love kitties then she kept calling the "big" pool the doggie pool. I love the cute things they say! After our trip to the "kitty" pool we took time out to have some snow cones....YUMMY :)

Yep, you guessed it I have a fun slide show! You will also see Caroline and Cooper (which are in a older blog) in the slide show because we ran into them & their mom there!
