New Find

So I just saw these in the store the other day and I've always preferred Smart Ones over other frozen brands. Well I am a huge breakfast person and I'm also a sleep till the very last second person so I'm always looking for easy ways to make breakfast once I get to work. I've actually been scrambling eggs in a coffee mug...hehe! Anyways, I grabbed both of these and to my surprise they are actually really yummy and so easy to just grab on my way out the door and heat up when I get to work. I would recommend them and just thought I would share.

New House

So...a lot has been going on lately! The big news is that the pictures below are of my new house. It's a rental in a beautiful neighborhood right in midtown. It was built in 1918, has so much character and is in decent shape for it's age. Some of my favorite features are the 10ft ceilings, the butlers pantry, the NEW kitchen and the hardwoods that are in great shape...oh and don't forget the big front porch. I am SO excited to get everything moved in!!

My wonderful mother came into town this weekend to help me look for some things I need. I don't have any pictures because all we did was shop, shop, shop. It was so much fun though and I got a lot accomplished.

I will be moving in at the end of August but in the meantime I am going to Vegas again (I promise I don't have a problem), having my best friends from home come and stay, going to the beach with my mom, Jason and Meredith, and getting ready for Samantha's wedding. Needless to say it's going to be a very busy month but so much fun!

Sometimes it can be overwhelming and a little stressful but I have to remind myself to be so thankful for everything I have and just to take it one day at a time!

Stayed tuned for Vegas pictures...it's a girls weekend this time!

CFA Wedding

The first dance
CFA IT guys






Me and some of the wives



This weekend Josh and I attended our first Catholic wedding. It was an interesting ceremony that I'm glad I got to see. The reception was held at a beautiful hotel in Atlanta and we had a great time. Josh works with Robert and they have become good friends in the past 3 years.

Too Good to be True

Well it turns out that we were given some misleading information and we will no longer be adopting Tonka. We are very sad about it but still want everyone to pray for him and that he finds a loving home.

UPDATE: One of our long time family friends sister is going to adopt Tonka. They love English Bulldogs and even say that he looks like their first one so they are so excited. I think everything has worked out for the best.

Introducing Tonka!!!

Well this time next weekend Josh and I will be welcoming a new english bulldog into our home. Josh's family called this week to ask if we wanted to adopt a bulldog , they knew someone who was giving him away. His family worked a lot and traveled with their kids ball team so they just didn't have the time to give him and bulldogs do require lots of attention. Well this is exactly what happened when we got Dozer and he has been such an amazing blessing in our lives so we just felt like we couldn't pass this opportunity up. We are really excited to see how Dozer and Tonka take to each other. Our hope of course is that they become best friends and we are anxiously awaiting the moment when we all get to meet. Please pray for this transition in our lives. It will require more time, money, responsibility, cleaning, patients, etc., but if you've ever had an english bulldog then you know it's all worth it!!!

Welcome to our family Tonka, we are so excited to be your new parents!!!

Happy Birthday Dad!!!

I'm sorry I'm not able to be there with you today, but I hope you have a wonderful "man's day" with Jason. Your such a special Dad and you deserve to have such a great day! I love you!!!

Girls Weekend!

On Friday night we took Chelsey out for some sushi and to watch a cover band here in Atlanta. We had lots of fun celebrating with you Chelsey!! On Saturday I drove to Nashville, hung out with Samantha for the day. We saw her reception site, it's going to be amazing!!! Then that evening we attended her first shower. It's was a huge couples shower and they got so many great gifts. I also got to see some old sorority sisters so it was great time!!!

Happy Birthday Chelsey

I love you Chels and I'm glad I get to celebrate with you!!!

Today I'm celebrating Chelsey's (Josh's sister) birthday. All the Brimer girls are heading to Atlanta for some fun. Then Saturday I'm heading to Nashville to hang out with Samantha and attend her couple's shower. Should be a great weekend, hope everyone has a fun and safe one!

July 4th Vacation

We've been in Knoxville since last Tuesday and had lots going on. Went to the mountains and lake, hung out with friends and family and had a great time. Enjoy the pics.

Dozer's 1st trip to the mountains, he loved playing with rocks in the water.
It was also Bella's 1st trip


Bella was asleep before we pulled out

Saturday was Bella's 1st Birthday. They had a party for her up at the lake and tons of people came to celebrate. She was an adorable birthday girl and the party was so fun. Afterwards we went out on the boats to watch fireworks. Happy 1st Birthday sweet Bella.

Josh and I bought this little car and put all of the fabric on it, we wanted to do something unique for her. It has jewels on it and is lined with fur. We could not believe the reaction we got out of it. We already have 2 new orders. Most importantly Bella loved it and we won the "best gift award". Josh and I had so much fun making it for her and we so excited that she LOVED it so much!
She knew what to do right away and wanted to get in it
Look how happy she is!!!! Priceless!
