So Much To Catch Up On...

Hello Everyone! I know, I know, it has been forever and a day since I posted. Believe me, I have plenty of very good reasons why. The last 4 months have been absolute madness! I built a home, with the help of my good friend Mike Hawkins; I landscaped an entire subdivision (The Cascades - where the house I built is); I helped design a cascading waterfall and a sign for the subdivision entry; I helped to plan and execute a Grand Opening for the subdivision; I designed a Fall Wreath selection for our company H&H Design; and the beginnings of our Christmas Wreath selection (which we showed at MeMe's Stonecroft Luncheon). I did all this while being a wife and mother and everything that comes with that.

The only thing that I can say at this point is: I've lost a lot of weight, I'm proud of the work that I've done, I've managed to keep my hair (which usually would have fallen out over the stress), my beautiful baby girl Reese is walking, and my husband is an amazing partner who supported me through it all and still seems to love me. All in all, it's been an experience, and I've survived.

I'm going to put several slideshows up going over what has happened in our lives since we last talked. Halloween 2010 is here too! Enjoy!


Reese had a little Halloween party at her daycare - So, daddy and I helped
her eat some cupcakes.

Hello Everyone! Just wanted to put a small note to tell you to scroll down - I have 3 new posts. Didn't want you to miss them!

Memorial Day Weekend

We have been blessed with our great friends - The Hawkins Family - Mike, Shawna, Saylor, Kipper, and Gracie. We spent much of our weekend with their bunch. On Memorial Day, Kyle and I attempted to cook for them - I attempted my dad's rice dressing recipe (which was to die for when he made it) which turned out way too soggy and mushy when I made it. Wanted to keep it moist, but went too far... Oh well. Otherwise we BBQ'ed and swam. It was a really good day. Reese had a great time and so did the Hawkins kids...

As you can see, we also made it the day of summer hair cuts. I bought a set of Wahl clippers and got to work on Mike and Kyle's not so full heads of hair. They both turned out great!

Family Photo Shoot

We were blessed to get this photo shoot in before I lost my dad. 2 weeks before actually. These were the first family photos we have taken since the late 1980's. So glad we got them in...
