Thankful

It is the day before Thanksgiving and I just wanted to post a few things that I am always thankful for. I am THANKFUL for mine and Rob's health. I am THANKFUL that we have a roof over our heads and food on the table. I am THANKFUL that Rob and I both have good jobs. I am THANKFUL for our little Allie girl, who brings joy to our life everyday. I am THANKFUL for my wonderful loving husband, I love him more and more everyday. I am also THANKFUL for my amazing family, without them I don't know where I would be. They are loving and supportive, I am very lucky to have such a great family.

I think in everyday life we forget what all we are thankful for. When something isn't going the way we would like it to, we have to remember all the things that we do have in our life to be THANKFUL for. So this Thanksgiving be sure to remember all things and people in your life that you are THANKFUL for.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!!!!

A Special Day

Two years ago today I got engaged! Here is the story.

First of all my mom was very sneaky and had sent the ring back to troy with my sister in a box with a shirt for Rob. My sister didn't know what was in the box except for a shirt. Mom had said it was an early Christmas present, I had no clue the ring was in the box with the shirt until later.

It all started with a call to my dad, roses and a note

On November 7,2007 I was sitting at work when I received a dozen red roses with a note that read "Dinner tonight? Love Rob." Well of course I thought this was it, he is going to propose at dinner tonight. I was so giddy the rest of the day. I get home and we head to dinner. Rob had to work that night at 11:00 so we couldn't go out of town to dinner so we just went to The Pines restaurant here in Troy. The whole dinner I am sitting there just waiting for him to pop the question. I was looking in my salad, my drink everywhere for a ring. Dinner was over and I still had no ring :(. We walked out of the restaurant and I didn't talk to Rob the whole way home. I was just thinking, how in the world could he trick me like this. We get home and he tells me that he is taking Allie(our minature dachshund) out to use the bathroom, I just said ok and headed back to the bedroom to change clothes. As I am changing clothes I hear Rob yell telling me to come in the den because Allie had something on her and he didn't know what it was. As I am walking down the hall I yell, "what in the world did you do to her." When I get in the den I look down at Allie and there is a bright shiny ring on her collar. At that point I felt bad for being mad at him. I start yelling, are you serious, are you serious. Rob gets the ring off Allie's collar and gets on one knee and proceeds to stay a bunch of sweet things that i just can't remember b/c I was too excited. He asked me to marry him and of course I said YES! After he put the ring on my finger, I am crying and running in place I was so excited. Then I proceed to call my sister to come take pictures and then I call mom my to tell her I am engaged. She knew is was coming soon but she wasn't sure when, she was thrilled. I then stayed on the phone just about all night calling all my family and friends to tell them the good news.

That was one of the best days of my life other than my wedding day. I am now married to my best friend and an amazing man. I love him with all my heart!

A repost of Lady Antebellum photos and videos

I am going to repost the Lady Antebellum photos because the collage I made of them you can't really see them and it won't let you click on them to make them bigger. I am also going to try to post the videos.




This might be the last time I post videos, they took way too long to upload!

Peanut Festival & Lady Antebellum

This past Sunday we went to Dothan to the Peanut Festival with some of our good friends Matt & Jennifer. We have never been to the Peanut Festival before, so this was a first. I felt like I was little again. We just walked around enjoying the atmosphere. Of course there were vendors everywhere selling corndogs, funnel cakes, fried snickers, cotton candy, etc...

We ended up getting a corndog and a funnel cake. I couldn't go to the fair and not get a funnel cake, I haven't had one in years and it was as good as I remembered.

Then you have the games that you can play to win prizes such as stuff animals, you know as a kid you loved those games but now you know they just rip you off.

Look what ride they still have, the Sizzler. I used to love that ride, it was one of my favorites.
We thought about going on the Ferris Wheel, didn't you all love the Ferris Wheel when you were younger? We didn't go on it though because we had to get to the show.

Lady Antebellum, one of my FAVORITE groups was performing at the Peanut Festival so we went over to the Ampitheater to watch them. It was such an amazing show and they performed a lot of good songs. If you have never heard them you really should, especailly if you like country music. Here a few pictures from the show, i took some video with my camera too and i will try to post them.

Ok so I tried to post some video that i took of the concert, but it is taking FOREVER to upload and my husband is wanting to get on the computer. I will put the videos up on another post so that you can hear just how good they are.

A Nice Visit

I had a nice visit Saturday from these wonderful people
my mom and grandmother. My mom had gone to Birmingham Friday to spend some time with my grandmother and Saturday they decided to drive down to Troy so Mimi could see my house and we could all go out to lunch. They got here around noon and I gave Mimi a tour of our house and then we went out to eat to Santa Fe for lunch. After lunch we came back to the house and watched the Auburn game.....WAR DAMN EAGLE!! That was a good game. Then they headed back to B'ham. It was a very nice visit, it just wasn't long enough. It was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
