A few happies today

Hi there! Well, I haven't gotten around to sharing Part 2 of our TN trip with y'all yet but I wanted to post a few things that are making me smile lately. Hopefully, I can post the rest of our trip tomorrow morning when I get off of work. Speaking of work...only about 1 1/2 more weeks before I start the DAY SHIFT!! Yay! No more being separated from my Sugar Pie at night! We are both sooo ready for the change. But I'm rambling...

My mother-in-law has several hummingbird feeders in her yard and I loved them so much that I had to go & get my own! I love the fun polka dots on this one! Oh, and I was skeptical about whether or not the little birds were still around, but the first one made his debut about 10 minutes after I hung it up! Ha! It gives me such joy to watch these tiny little creatures buzz about!


It's super hard to catch the little guys while they're feeding but I gave it my best shot!


I REALLY want a camera with serious zoom skills! Goals, y'all, ya gotta have goals!

My sweetie and I went to a flea market on Saturday morning and had a great time browsing through all the stuff! I got a cookie jar shaped like a basket of apples and a couple of lapel pins from the '60s. Even Nathan said he enjoyed himself! Here he is in the indoor section. He's holding a net he got to get his bait fish out of the bait tank. I love my fisherman!


And, finally, a sneak peek of my latest project...

What do this...

and this have to do with one another?

You'll have to wait 'til it's all done to find out! Don't worry, it won't be too long...it's 99% done!

I hope y'all enjoyed seeing some of what's making me smile these days. What's putting a grin on your faces? I'd love to hear it!

Have a wonderfully blessed FALL day!!

    Just to let you know...you don't have to buy the hummingbird food, you can make your own. Sugar water...they love it. Also, if wasp, bees and other insects that like sugar start drinking it just put cooking oil on the little perch and they can not drink your mixture.

It's been a year, y'all. A year since I married the love of my life, the funniest man on earth, the sweetest husband around, and the only leader I will follow unconditionally. Nathan and I have said several times over the course of this first year together that it has been so easy and FUN!! Everyone said there would be an adjustment period where we would be getting used to each other's habits, but, we're still waiting for that to happen! Maybe we are super easy-going because it seems as though we've blended our lives seamlessly. Of course, there's been a few little "I do it this way..." moments, but no big blow-ups and such. When I look at my husband, I am constantly reminded of how HUGELY God blessed me with this man. I am absolutely, 100% positive that there is no other man more perfect for me than Nathan. Our love story is too full of God's hand and we are just so much alike. Even our differences complement one another. For instance, I abhor doi...

Hello? It's me again!

Hello all! Apparently I decided to take a 2 1/2 month blog break. I know, you wish I would've warned you. But, the thing is, it just sorta happened on the fly. I got busy, was too lazy to post, and my sister moved away (that's a whole other post). And to top it all off, my computer decided to succumb to one or several of the viruses floating around WebLand. So, when I was ready to post two weeks ago...ha! no internet connection! So there. Those pesky little 1's and 0's showed me! I just thought I was gonna get back into the swing of blogging. Anyway, my computer has been revived (thank you, Lord) and I am anxious to show you what I've been up to this summer. Yes, I have a few PICTURES! Yay! Actually, this post is going to be rife with pics since I'm so behind. They may or may not be in chronological order, though. It depends on how cooperative Blogger is today. *wink* Many of you know that my sister and I like to make stuff and since she now lives thousands of...

On this day 2 years ago, I married the sweetest cutie pie ever. Around this time, my bridesmaids and I were in an upstairs room of the church getting dressed and putting finishing touches on our makeup. I can't believe it's already been 2 years!! It's absolutely flown by! In honor of this momentous day in mine and my hubby's life, I thought I'd post some favorite shots from our special day. I hope you enjoy! Me & my bridesmaids eating at Strawn's before going to the salon for hair & makeup. All of us are sans makeup! Hair in progress and seeing my bouquet for the first time! Daddy & his brother, Greg, in the background Hair and makeup is done! Now on to the church!
