Your Memory Lane

Last night I was going through some things in our home office and I came across something that I had made for Jimbo on our first wedding anniversary. I still need to have it framed... actually I need to have a lot of things framed but anyway I thought I would share it with you because I think they are just the neatest things ever! It's called yourmemorylane. To explain what they do best.. I am going to tell you about mine and Jimbo's memory lane (the top picture.) I chose the 3 building street that comes with 3 street signs, 4 vehicles, and 14 memories! So... I fill out the paper work with:

14 MEMORIES

1.We both graduated from Satsuma High School.

2. We met on http://www.myspace.com/

3. Our first "official" date was at Copeland's Cheesecake Factory in Louisiana.

4.We spent our first Valentine's Day in Atlanta together and it snowed.

5. We used to read the newspaper in bed every Sunday morning together.

6. Jimbo proposed to Emily at Christmas time after eating a romantic dinner at Ruth Chris Steak House.

7. One of our favorite memories is drinking peach wine and slow dancing in the bedroom together.

8. Emily worked in Miami and Jimbo would send love letters and flowers to her while she was gone.

9.Jimbo attempted to teach Emily how to play tennis.

10.We got married at the Promise Land on October 13.

11.We honeymooned in Riviera Maya, Mexico

12.We got sparrow tattoos together that symbolize soul mates

13.Our song is "I knew I loved you Before I Met You" by Savage Garden

14.We are expecting our first child in March.

The 3 streets were the streets we have lived on since we met. The vehicles I chose were the cars we owned when we met, a bus with "Jimmy's" on the side (inside joke), and a golf cart with "Go Bama" on the side since Jimbo loves to play golf and loves Bama.

So.... you turn all of your information in and the company turns it into a memory lane for you!! They send you a proof and let you make any changes you want to make including colors, logos, wording... you name it! Check out their website and see what all neat things they can do. They make wonderful gifts for all occasions. They are kinda pricey but they run specials throughout the year and believe me.. who ever you get it for will love looking at everything and remembering all the memories that each picture symbolizes!

 

Hoot of A Time

love my new Hue 100% cotton pajama pants so much that I had to share them with you! The print is called "Hoot of a time" and the draw-strings have cute sayings written on them such as "color outside the lines... let yourself daydream...agree with your imagination...laugh at the rules" and they are oh so comfy! I bought mine at Belk but you can order them on their website and also check out some of their other adorable prints. These would make a great Christmas gift for someone this year :)

Fun Little Quiz

See how many corporate logos you can identify in six minutes in this quiz. I got 32 out of 36, then was seriously stumped! Check it out here!

Baby Boys

od made the world out of His dreams
Of magic mountains, oceans and streams,
Prairies and plans and wooded land,
Then paused and thought “I need someone to stand
On top of mountains, to conquer the seas,
Explore the plains and climb the trees.
Someone to start out small and to grow,
Sturdy, strong as a tree…” And so,
He created boys, full of spirit and fun,
To explore and conquer, to romp and run.
With dirty faces and banged up chins,
With courageous hearts and boyish grins.
When He had completed the task He’d begun
He surely said “A job well done”.

Trip to Tuscaloosa

Thank you Hildreth family for opening up your home to us. We had such a good time and truly needed the weekend away. You spoiled us with your delicious homecooked meals, beautiful property, and generous hearts. We love you and can't wait to do it again!

November's Book of the Month

"
he Girls from Ames" was such a little treasure of a book to me. It is a true story about eleven women that have been best friends for forty years. It basically tells their story and all the fun times as well as tragedy's they have been through. It made me think about the friends I have had my whole life and everything that we have been through together. Visit their website and learn more about the book. It is kind of sad- especially the parts about Sheila, but overall leaves you just wanting to call your best friend and tell her you love her.

God is Good

"Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!" Psalm 118:1
I could not help but look at these pictures and think about how thankful I am for God blessing me with these two beautiful people in my life. I love them so much!

Craft Time

fter I so diligently finished my school work and budget reports for today- I thought I would spend some time relaxing and just do something fun (as much fun as you can have in the office), so I downloaded these little crafty fellows and went to town cutting and pasting them together. It was actually quite therapuetic and they are really cute! Now all the ladies in the office want one to exhibit on their desk ;) It's the new thing ya know?! The little owl and bird came from here and the Halloween cutie came from this site. Have fun!

Love at First Car Ride

ove at first car ride? Sweet baby Lila Kate celebrated her first birthday this past weekend and Judson Bailey took his first toy car ride ever. They were adorable together! Lila took Judson's arm and put it around her shoulder- sweetest thing I have ever seen! Just after I was thinking of a potential future wedding... baby Lila decided to jump ship and get out of there! lol oh well! We still have time ;)
