Tigers, Tigers Everywhere.....

We spent the day yesterday in Auburn,
where my beloved, Auburn Tigers took on the Tigers of Clemson.

It was a NAIL-BITER!

We finally pulled it out in overtime 27-24.

Did we deserve the win?
Uh, NEGATIVE, but a win is a win and I'll take it any way I can get it.

We didn't get home until 1:30 this morning.

That means I am exhausted!

It was worth it though.

Of course, I have one or two pics to share with you.

Hope you enjoy!

War Eagle!

Fearless and True

THIS IS AUBURN FOOTBALL


We'll head back to Auburn Saturday for the Auburn vs South Carolina game.

If we don't get our act together, Steve Spurrier and his Gamecocks will embarrass us, BIG TIME!!!

Have a great week, Friends!


Love you MUCH!

It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year.....

We spent today in Mentone for sweet baby Emmaline's Christening.

It was great to see the family and be able to spend some time with them.



This is a pic of me and my cousins. My cousin on the Right, Juanita, is Emmaline's Grandmother.

It's college football time, the most wonderful time of the year.

We traveled to Auburn yesterday for the season opener between Auburn vs Arkansas State.

Auburn won 52-26.

We saw Aubie, tons of Policemen, the Band and ate popcorn.

Mission accomplished.

We had a great time.



I took this picture last night.

It is breathtakingly beautiful if I do say so myself.

I'm pretty confident it confirms the fact that God is an Auburn fan with the sky being Orange and Blue and all.

It is a holiday tomorrow but I will be laboring on Labor Day, as I have to work.


Have a great week friends!

Love you MUCH!

Sweet Emmaline.....

Good Morning, Blog Friends!

It seems that Fall is in the air.

It may be short lived but it feels wonderful today.

We are on Interstate 59 heading to beautiful Mentone, Alabama to spend the day with Family and Friends for Sweet Emmaline's Christening.



Emmaline is the daughter of my cousin, Blake and his wife, Quincey.



They are an adorable family and we are thrilled with being able to share Emmaline's special day with them.

Mentone is a town of about 450 people. It is so beautiful there.





I'm certain I'll have some more pictures to share with you later in the day.

Hope you all have a great Sunday!

Love you MUCH!

Happy Birthday, Haley

I have told all of you before, all I ever wanted to be when I grew up was a Mom.

I never had aspirations of being a Nurse or a Teacher or any of the other things little girls dream of being when they grow up.

I simply wanted to be a Mom.

We tried for 3 years to have a baby with no success. I cried, I prayed, I got mad, I asked why, I prayed and cried some more, until I literally felt prayed and cried out.

19 years ago today, God proved Himself All Powerful and Faithful when He did what I thought wouldn't ever be possible. He made me a Mom.

Happy Birthday, Haley.

You are truly are a wonderful gift from above. I am so proud of you and the person you are.

I say it all the time, but I really mean it, I would pick you EVERY SINGLE TIME.

I love you more than you will ever know or words could ever say.

The Week In Review.....

As you can see the previous mobile Blog was a success, however I should tell you it took me about 20 tries to get it to work. When I finally figured out the problem I was like, "Oh yeah!, how simple".

How many times does that happen? We struggle with something, get mad and frustrated with it, feel like throwing it down and then it happens, it clicks, it works, then we wonder why it took us so long to figure it out in the first place, lol.

Though my mobile blogging is once again working, and I am back on my laptop, I am still mobile. I am in the car traveling to visit with my Mom on this rainy Sunday afternoon in Alabama.

It is really, really storming. In the short distance we have traveled, we have already seen 2 bad wrecks.

The eldest Daughter traveled to Tuscaloosa Friday to spend the weekend with her friends. She will be driving back this afternoon. I am worried sick about her driving in this mess.

I should also tell you I am the mother of a College student. She started classes this week. Everything went really smooth. She got to enjoy the pleasure of fighting for a parking space, going from one end of campus to another for class, and all those other fun things that go with it, lol.

She has decided not to play college softball. It breaks my heart, I cannot lie but she told me she was really burnt out with it and didn't want to play. I think she will regret it later but it is her decision and I have to respect it.

My baby girl turned 14 Friday. She had a great birthday. She is growing up fast. It seems like yesterday I was craving and eating only watermelon. It was the only thing I could eat. I just love that girl. I am so proud of her. We were talking this weekend about the choices some of her Friends are making. I am so thankful she is not ashamed to stand up for what she believes in. That makes a Mom proud.

Baby boy is great. He has been busy in preschool this week learning letters, and shapes and playing with his Friends. He spent the weekend with my Brother.

I am still loving my job. Things are going great. I am settling in and beginning to get in a routine.

Auburn football begins next weekend. We play Arkansas State at 6pm. Have I told you how much I love Auburn football? I love the campus, the atmosphere, Tiger Walk, tailgating, the whole thing!

I wish you could experience it with me. There is nothing like it. We would have a BLAST I know without a doubt! =)

I hope you all have an awesome week. I promise to try and do a better job blogging.

I've missed you MUCH!

Love you MUCH!

This Is A Test.....

Hey Blog Fiends!

This is a test to see if my mobile blogging is working again.

When we were in Jamaica my BlackBerry crashed and I lost EVERYTHING!

It's amazing how dependent we are for our cell phones. I admit I am THE WORST!

Hopefully, this post is a success. We will know in a second.

Hope you all are well this last Sunday in August.

Love you MUCH!
