87

Happy Birthday Grandma!!

Meet my amazing Grandma who is 87 years young today. This past weekend I was able to join my family for a birthday celebration in Nashville. It was so much fun to hang out with everyone! When I asked my Grandma what she wanted to do for her next birthday, she said I hope it's just like this one. She has taught us how to love our family, friends, and the Lord. She has the biggest heart and would do anything for anyone. What a blessing to have this godly woman in my life! I am so thankful for her servant heart, constant support, and willing spirit to teach me so many things (sewing, crocheting, cooking, and so much more). I love you Grandma!!

the beach

So calm and relaxing.
At least for a few hours until this happened...Spring Break 2012
Every college student joined us this year.

Spent the week with James, Elizabeth, and Andrew
People watching on the beach...especially fun with all of the college students
Read every update on Peyton Manning's decision
Inhaled yummy seafood at Captain Dave's, The Crab Trap, and Dewey Destin's
Nertz of course was played
Got to meet babies Madelyn and Evie on the way home (as well as visit with their wonderful parents)

Baked LOTS of desserts
Relaxed and loved being with friends
Enjoyed watching the cops make underage drinkers pour out their beer coolers one by one
Ate Ben & Jerry's Milk and Cookies ice cream every night
Koozies, swimsuit broaches, portable beer pong tables, and sorority tank tops were a few of the things we forgot.

The Hunger Games

Meet Katniss, Effie, & Rue

I have the best job! I work with amazing people, and we have a lot of fun. For example, last week we celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday by dressing like our favorite book characters. Well, of course, we wanted to be characters from "The Hunger Games." If you have not read the book, I highly recommend this three book series. Oh. My. It's wonderful! I am counting down the days for the movie premier (March 23). Laura, Audrey, and I plan to dress in costume and go to the midnight showing. We may or may not make it to school the next day. In what other profession can you have this much fun?
