CONGRATS!!!!

Hello all!! I'd like to tell you about our friends Emily and Kurtis. Jeff and Kurtis have known each other for many years and they are really good friends. Kurtis is funny, smart, and knows a lot about sports. Sometimes I think he should have his own show because he knows WAAAAY too much! Kurtis met a girl named Emily. Now, if you know me, then you know that ALMOST EVERY best friend I've ever had is named Emily- in fact, it's my default name. I love Emilys and when I met this particular Emily, I felt the same way! She is creative, sarcastic (but sweet), and generally wonderful! I love spending time with her and I try not to be dorky and ask her to teach me how to do things- she is really freaking creative!
Kurtis and Emily got married on Sept 1st and they had a reception/party last friday. Unfortunately I couldn't go because I had cheerleading, but I can't wait to be friends with her for years to come- I'm secretly hoping they move really close to us. So cheers to Emily and Kurtis- two really great people!! :o)

Is fall falling??

When Claire goes to my mom's house in the morning, I'm leaving around 6:30am. It is so stinking dark and chilly!! Makes me super excited about fall!! I see a few orange leaves on the ground and I can't help but think about football, brunswick stew, and crisp, cool air!! Can you believe that Claire was that small (picture above) and now she is sassy, funny, and running!?! I can't believe it either! She is way too funny!

I'm smack dab in the middle of cheerleading season, but nothing is better than coming home from a long, hard day at the office/cheerleading to see my sweet girl and to get a big, fat kiss!! She is little Miss Independent and she wants to climb, run, etc on everything! For any new moms out there, enjoy every moment. I remember I would almost wish away Claire's baby time because I couldn't wait for her to hit her next milestone. Now I wish I would have made the most of every day.

Now to change the subject- I'm getting the decorating itch back! Jeff and I have talked about really doing some landscaping this fall because my yard looks crazy! Stupid weeds suck! I want to also redo my porch and to put some better porch furniture out there. So excited! Time to make a new wreath!

Until next time... :o)
