Take Me Out to the Ball Game.

April 1st was the Braves Opening Day.

I love ball games. I love the concession stand food.

Beautiful day. Everyone chants their favorites teams. Good friends. Ice cold drinks. Men in baseball pants. Chop, Chop.

Whitney, Bree, Kimber, and I decided we must attend the Braves game (why not?). There was no doubt we needed to enjoy some time out in the sunshine and that's exactly what we did.

Girls trip.

The girls.

SLP's on 3.

May have gotten a little sunburned on one side of my body, had to wait in line to use the restroom in a porta potty (ew), and stand in line for 30 minutes for some cheese fries.... BUT it was worth missing class, hanging with awesome friends, and watching a good baseball game.

It kicked off April just right!

Here comes SUMMERTIME. 

Easter blues.

Something just isn't the same this Easter.

I believe it's because I'm missing this cute fella.

He's my missing link to this wonderful holiday!

Happy Easter y'all.

 

Love God, Love your family, and Love your friends.
Life is good!

Shout-out to the roomies

Today is my parents anniversary and I'd like to give them a BIG 

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to those crazy cats. 

Y'all are great parents, role-models, and roommates. Thanks for putting up with me these 23 years-- even though I know I've been a blessing and angel. 

And sticking it out with each other through the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I love you guys. Y'all rock. 

What can I say, I got good genes. 

Doggie Love

I haven't had much time to blog lately, but I've had time to snuggle with Buddy.

He's been a little down lately. Ear infection, allergic reaction, down and out about the weather... etc.

I just thought I'd show some love on this Wednesday to my little precious baby, Buddy R Sanford.

This was him going to see Dr. Sam 

last Wednesday to see about his ears. 

He wasn't happy, but Doc bragged

about how well he did!

Love on your dog(s)/pets people!
They are great pals.

Happy Hump Day!

Update

KETCHUP:
I have officially sent out my Save the Dates and received a phone call from the White Room informing me my dress is NOW IN. First fitting is coming soon. 

I.Cannot.Wait. (YIKES!)

It is getting so close and time is flying! I'm loving every minute of it.

I am now getting into the entire registering and things like that... I love gifts. I love just getting a price gun and point & shoot. It's a rush. I've loved every second of being THE bride.


This past week was my final Spring Break and so who else to spend it with, but my fiancé in Denver!

Thursday after classes I loaded a plan and headed for CO!

Happy St. Patty's Day

We hit a blizzard at Keystone while skiing on Saturday.

Like always the trip ended too soon and I was back on a plane that Tuesday heading back to Alabama.

I didn't really get to rest much on my SB since I was in Denver for the first part and the second part consisted of taking a sick pup to the vet, trying on my dress for the first time (it was perfect), and also I ran my first 5k this past weekend.

Mud Mania in Auburn, Al. This aint ya mommas 5k. 

The girls on Team Mudbutt. (pre-run)

So much fun and lots of laughs

even though I did end up with some scratches,

bruises, and a "little" sore Sunday morning.

I'm finishing up my last couple of weeks of college (never been more ready), getting ready for showers to begin, and counting down the days for the bachelorette bash with my favorite ladies and our WEDDING! 

Come on June, baby! 

Love is in the Air

Jackson and I have never really done the whole "Valentine's" thing.

We usually who can pick the funniest card out (I won this year), grab a bite to eat, and maybe catch a movie if there is something out we have been wanting to see.

This year was different since he is in CO and I'm in AL. I guess we could have planned a meal and had FaceTime with each other, but we decided to go to Mikata's for dinner last Friday while he was in town-- Mikata means fun, right?

I had given Jackson a card before he left and wanted him to open it then, but he refused. He likes to wait on the day of the holiday or special occasion. He's good about that. I would have already ripped it open and looked inside. (I like cards and gifts.)

To be honest, I was kind of sad he didn't have a card ready for me when he came home, but did not say anything because it's just Valentines day. He didn't miss my birthday or Christmas.

Then yesterday I was surprised at this arrival at my front door.

(Please ignore the fuzzy pictures, I snapped it with my Photo booth right quick)

TULIPS, my favorite flowers of all time. 

He does so good at surprising me.

Never a let down.

22 hours away, a few states up and over from me and he still manages to be the best Valentine ever!

I'm so happy he's my forever and ever amen Valentine.

Love you Jackson!

Happy Valentines Day to all you lovers out there. 

Life is good.

O.T.W. - Engagement Party

This past Saturday Jackson and I were lucky enough to share our engagement with friends and family at Chimney Cove in Wedowee, AL given by my bridesmaids.

It was so much fun and so perfect.
Jackson and I are truly blessed. 

Some of my bridesmaids and little flower girl.

Some of the guys.

Jackson loves the fire outside. 

We had music, great food, and awesome company to celebrate our engagement and wedding for June 29th. I loved every single bit of it.
I can not thank them enough for the beautiful venue and food.

Our Pretty "L" cake.

Cutting our cake!

We love Kyle.

Everything about this night was perfect. Everyone laughed, sang, cut a rug, and enjoyed being with old friends while celebrating our engagement. 

We hit karaoke with some old and new songs. We also showed out some of our dance moves-- good and bad. 

3 of my favorite guys.

It's Fancy time.

Then we took it back to Spice Girls.

I am so thankful and blessed to have so many people who love

and are happy for Jackson and I. They did such a wonderful

job with our party and we had so much fun!

Jackson and I love you all! 

Life is good!
