As Promised...

I have lots of pictures to post today, so bear with me as I try to get them spaced correctly. It's hard to get them exactly where you want them on here - or it is for me anyway - and I'm slightly OCD about them being spaced evenly. The past couple of weeks have been busy and I've been out of town both weekends. Both trips were great and I have a feeling this is just the beginning of a busy schedule with summer right around the corner.

The first few pictures are from a Fleetwood Mac (4/28/2009) concert that I went to with my friends, Charleston and Calvin and the "new boy" I mentioned in my last post, Michael. Calvin works for UPS and UPS has a box at Phillips Arena so we had excellent seats!

Mother's Day - 5/10/2009

Me & my Momma after church - and stuffing ourselves at Fannin Mart...Mmmm!

Mom and Bart

Mom and Dad - I can't remember what was so funny - they are goobers!

This past weekend (5/14-17/2009) I took a trip to the beach with some of my favorite girls - Kate, and "the Amy's". We had the BEST time and got to go see Sugarland Friday night. It was by far one of the best concerts I've ever been too - and I think it's because I knew all the words. They put on a great show and Billy Currington opened for them. I would go see them again in a heartbeat!

Me, Kate, and Amy T at Live Bait before the concert

Me and Amy S - who's carrying Mary Morgan - expected arrival September 4th! Can't wait!!!

It was so fun to get away and be lazy beach bums - we're already planning the next trip! Hope you enjoy the pics and have a great week!

Catching Up

Update: I started this on Sunday, but finished Tuesday, May 5th. Happy Cinco De Mayo!!!

I know, I know - I haven't posted lately. I've got to do better because I really want to keep the blog as up to date as possible so I can read back over it months from now and remember things that happened at this time in my life. So, what has been going on???

Well, I'm not going to drop any names or post pictures yet (although I do have some) but I have been seeing a new boy for the past week and he is SO nice and SO cute! I haven't been this excited about a new boy in a L-O-N-G time! It was a blind setup that I was not expecting and certainly not real excited about. More details to come soon - if he keeps me around for another week or so! :)

Work has been keeping me busier than usual, which is a welcomed change. With the economy being so rough right now and with so many people out of a job, I feel very blessed to have a good job and to work with some wonderful people. I know that not everyone is so lucky. It was a rough day today because I had to sit in on a termination. That is, hands down, the worst part about my job - and being in management in general. It never gets easier and it always makes me feel like an awful person. Thank goodness, tomorrow is a new day!

I'm headed to Jackson this weekend for Mother's Day. I can't wait to see my Mom and let her know how much I love and appreciate her. I've talked about her before, but she really is one of the wisest people I know. I would be fortunate to know her, much less to be able to call her "Mom". Bart and I are so blessed! My heart hurts for those who will be spending Mother's Day without their Mom this year. I truly cannot imagine my life without Carla - part of me would be missing.

Next weekend I'm going to the BEACH! I cannot wait!!! 3 of my friends and I are meeting in Orange Beach and we're going to see Sugarland while we're there. I love Sugarland and know most of their songs word-for-word. Gimme a break, it's a long trip back and forth to Jackson - I might as well jam out to some Sugarland along the way. I haven't been to the beach in a couple of years and it will be such a welcomed change of scenery.

I promise to post some new pics soon! Ya'll have a great week!
