Ten on Tuesday

1) The surprise trip to St. Louis was loads of fun.  But, I'm still exhausted!  The whole drive and all summer we kept the trip a secret and then as we were walking out of the parking garage of the hotel, Mia's mom drove in...surprise was blown!  LOL!    Here is our whole crew.  We shared one hotel room...fun times!


2) On the trip, we squeezed into a short time period, a meetup with some Bloom Forum girls, a trip to the Gateway Arch, The Magic House, and some good eats!  I had the best salad I've ever had in my life at the Boathouse - Forest Park.  Seriously, the BBQ Chicken Salad is YUMMY!

3) It's time to get off my tail and do Day 2 of  30 Day Shred.  I think it's funny how I was so worried about people seeing my twin skin and NO ONE even mentioned it.  Just maybe, our own issues are so much bigger in our own heads than reality...  Or maybe it helped that the pic was so small lol...But seriously, thank you ladies.  And if you didn't check out my buddies post...do!

4) I think it's pretty darn mean that KT is sitting in front of me eating a donut stick...and as I type, I remember what I had for lunch...chicken fingers and fries...apparently I wasn't too worried about my health at noon...

5) I had lunch with two of my favorite people from my prior role at the Bank.  I seriously miss those ladies!

6) It just occured to me in 3 of the 5 listed above, I've mentioned food...I just might have a problem.

7) MacKenzie is loving 5th grade.  Apparently, it's the best grade ever and her teachers are a dream team.  Those are quotes.

8) She suckered us into letting her get a saxophone.  I wanted her to play clarinet.  I played clarinet...the clarinet is cheaper...half the price...but she brought on the tears and reminded me that it was her life long dream...yep, we're suckers.  But to my credit, I said no at first and my mom insisted that they would pay the difference between what I was willing to pay for the clarinet and the saxophone...hmmm....so maybe we're not the only suckers (j/k Mom if you're reading this).  Mom insisted that because MacK works hard, and she truly does, she deserved it.

9) I've decided to start portfolio building.  The truth is...I'm a bit scared.  I don't want to be that momtog that leaps before they are ready...but I LOVE photography and it's a fun outlet for me so I'm challenging myself to give it a go.  I had a chance to shoot a super gorgeous girl and we had soooooooo much fun.  Check them out here! But one for now...

She seriously has the most gorgeous naturally bright brown/hazel eyes.    No contacts...no post processing brightening...just natural...and they seriously soak up light... 

10) I'm hooked on Tia and Tamera...hoping to watch the second episode tonight on DVR.  It's awful to admit that I love watching those types of shows almost as much for content as I do to see what people are wearing.  I LOVE fashion but you'd never know by how boring my current wardrobe is...KT frequently tells me that I need to go shopping for myself, but 9 times out of 10 I end up finding something for the girls or him instead.  Woe is me, right???


Have a great week!

Hannah's Shower

This past Saturday we had a shower for my friend Brandy.  Unexpectantly, Brandy delivered a beautiful 2 lb baby girl at 26 weeks.  Mommy and Baby are doing so well and have truly been a testament of God's blessings, favor, and grace.  I'm so proud of Brandy for the way she has handled this with such strength! 
Hannah has spent the last month in the NICU growing big and strong and today weighs over 3lbs.  We are so excited about that.  Her Aunt Hope is pretty thrilled that at 3.5 lbs she is going to get to finally get to wear some cute little outfits!!  We are all so ready for her to come home - I personally can't wait to hold her cute little self.

At her shower, she got lots of cute little things - can't wait til she can enjoy them!
