well, we're off again....

Nothing too exciting though. Jason and I just drove through the state of Tennessee and into Gatlinburg. He has a conference here this week, and I am driving in to North Carolina to see my Aunt... so we wont be walking through the village together, getting saltwater taffy or a henna tatoo.

I mean, it has been a WHILE since I have been here... and when we got off the interstate, I thought I might have a seizure from the florescent lights and blinking signs. Serious sensory overload. I just could not take it all in.

Anyway, he is here all week, and I will be here on Thursday and Friday to hit the Tanger Outlets and maybe (fingers crossed) see the dixie stampede.

had to post this bag

Just wanted to post this cute bag new to my stationery world... Can be used for a purse or diaper bag. Cute huh?

A fun weekend in Starkville.

We finally got down to starkville for the UT game this past weekend. This weekwnd was extra special because my whole family came, as Reid is at UT and Dan is at State, Randy and Juanita came down to tailgate with the crew. It was such a blast! We all had friends there... the Hills, the Gaskins, and the Scarbroughs, Kellie and Ryan Berry, family friends The Wheelers from Savannah, Reid had a crew their from Knoxville and Dan had college friends there too. Lindsey made Reid feel better by wearing orange, so he wouldnt feel like the only Tennessee fan in the family.
We should have one of those tags that says house divided UT/MSU..... (not really). Friday night we went to dinner at the Grill, an old college favorite...(yes, we ordered the cheese sticks.... unreal.) and headed down to campus bright and early on Saturday.
We all just hung out and ate lunch before the game, Dad grilled some shrimp and smoked sausage, then we all walked to the Stadium. Ok, was it hot or what?? And, did I mention that we got "lost" driving on campus. Seriously, it was depressing.
After State lost, (it was a great game though, huh?) we had our own little rematch at the tailgate. Reid and his 2 roomates, versus Jason G., Dan, and Ashley Gaskin. MSU won. We could hardly fit the ego in the car.
Dan is in a band called "Jamie Davis and Soul Gravy", for all of you local Starvillers, and after dinner at OV (yum, their bread) we watched them play. It was a great time, despite the loss. It was SO good to see friends... and family... it was just a great weekend. I hope we get to go again soon.

a visit to see abram

Last weekend I had an opportunity (finally!) to go down and see little Abram Scarbrough. He is such a beautiful baby! Daniel went to the game on Saturday so I had Shea and Abram all to my self.
We had a late breakfast, a trip to McAlisters for lunch and I cooked dinner for us all on Saturday night. I loved holding him, and rocking him... he loves to be over the shoulder and patted on the back the whole time.
He and mom are doing great- just coping with life as a tiny infant. It is so bizarre that all of a sudden your life revoles around someone elses... I know most of your are moms, and you are like.... yeah.... but it still amazes me. I came home telling Jason that WHEN we have children, ONE DAY, i have to de-maintence some things. Mainly my hair regiment. All the blow drying, piecing it off, straightening, pommade...sigh.

Anyway, back ot Abram. he is precious- and Shea is a good mama. We had a great time.

look at my sister.

I had to share this picture with you- Lindsey had a "decades" day at HCHS for Homecoming week and she dressed as the 40's.
I mean, how cute is she?
*(And, she is standing in my parents house, in the newly remodeled kitchen, which if you look closely, you can see where she doesnt have her countertops yet.)
