Another birthday picture!

Food Trucks

Something that has become a fascination of mine (mainly because of the Great Food Truck Race on Food Network), is food trucks.
I live in between 2 big cities: Atlanta and Charlotte. We used to live in the ATL in 2008 (before Ruth's Chris decided we needed to live in Greenville,SC) and make it back a few times a year for random adventures but we have only drive through Charlotte.

I am really wanting to find a food truck and taste some yummy food and see what the buzz is all about (even though I know twitter is a good way to find them I have no idea how to "tweet"!) but I also know that something as cool as a food truck will never grace Greenville with its presence. Greenville is the town that wishes it was. I have other unkind words about Greenville but will not leave them with you!

Never thought.....

I never thought that I would see the day that my Cameron would be moving closer to me. He lives with his dad and his dad's job moved him to New York in 2007. Them moving was probably one of the worst things I have ever gone through. I didn't see him for months at a time and I still wonder how I survived sometimes. But today marks his LAST day in New York. I talked to him last night and he is sad to move again and leave his friends and neighbors but he is excited to move closer to me and his nana. Cam has had such a rough month. First he lost his great-grandmother, then his pappy, and driving back and forth from New York 3 times in 4 weeks isn't easy either. I might be able to see him on Sunday just for a little bit and I am getting him for his fall break in two weeks but I hope and pray he is able to transition to his new school next week. I know kids are adaptable and I hope this is still true!

Thankful Thursday

1. I am thankful it's THURSDAY! It's been a long week.

2. I am thankful I get to see my mama on Saturday.

3. I am thankful I get to see my Cameron is 2 weeks! And we are heading to our hometown when I get him and hopefully he can play with some of his friends that weekend!

Weddings

I absolutely LOVE Weddings! I love the planning, the ideas, the flowers, the colors, everything!

I am super excited because I am Matron of Honor in my best friend's wedding!!!! She has gotten so much done already too for her June wedding. It is so funny that out of all my friends, each wedding has been so different and almost opposite of what you expect considering our personalities.

We went dress shopping this past Saturday and she wants her dress to be a total surprise so no pictures to be posted but that's what is fun about it too!

Oh how time flies........

Febreze Set and Refresh

I always love trying new things! I was recently contacted by My Blog Spark to try Febreze's New Product: Febreze Set and Refresh.

At work, we talk about lots of things and Febreze Set and Refresh was something that we had seen in our weekly coupons so we were definitely wanting to try this out. When I received my package, I was so excited to take them into work. Well, we are in love. It's so nice to come into our cubicles now and smell such wonderful smells. I have the Thai Dragon Fruit in my cubicle and it has a light summery smell. The Set and Refresh were really easy to set up and is actually cute!


(The package came with 2 Febreze Set and Refresh for me to try and 3 $5 Gift cards to Wal-Mart to do with my choosing. This was provided to me by Febreze through My Blog Spark.)

Traditions

On September 13,2007, my now husband proposed at a really fancy French restaurant in Philadelphia. We made a pact that night that we would always celebrate that day by eating out at somewhere nice like this restaurant.

2008-- We ate at Home in Atlanta. It was an ok meal. Nothing that Roger couldn't have created at home for us. But it's always nice to get dressed up and go out to eat.

2009-- We cooked. We had just had a baby and it was grandparent's day so we decided to stay home and cook for my mom (since we were living with her then). Roger made trout, risotto, and spinach. Really good meal.

2010-- Last night we went to Stella's Southern Bistro. It was definitely the best meal we've had since being in Greenville and considering we normally try somewhere new once a week that's saying a lot. This town is definitely a foodie town (even though I really wonder where some of these people got their tastes at!).

Thankful Thursday

1. I am thankful I got to talk to my Cam this morning! I normally am only allowed to talk twice a week but his step-mom needed to call me for something for his pappy's funeral.
2. I am prayerfully hoping for a better relationship with my ex-husband and his wife. We definitely have a love/hate relationship.
3. I am thankful for my husband and the fact that he tells me I can come home to Chattanooga any time I need to do so. (even though he may regret this soon, as my bestie is getting married!!!! in June)
4. I am thankful for my friends. Even though they are far away I love them all.
5. I am thankful that my Coley is feeling better! He had 3 teeth coming in at the beginning of the week and only wanted to be held (which is totally fine!) but he's becoming his normal self again.... only with a molar now!

Cam's New Haircut!

The Good and The Bad

It's been an interesting last few weeks around this household. My grammie would always say something good for something bad (or at least my mom said she said this) soo here goes...

The Bad...

1. My grammie passed away on Thursday, August 26th, 2010. My grammie was my world and I was hers. You see I was the first grandchild, therefore, I could do no wrong. My sister would often get mad because of the fact that you could always tell I was the first grandchild.
2. My Cameron went back to his dad on Saturday. I love spending time with him and the time goes so fast. I can't get enough time with him!
3. Cameron's pappy passed away on Sunday. When you talk about how my grammie was with me... that was Cam and his pappy. It was a tragic accident and everyone in the family is in shock Cam's dad said.

The GOOD!!!! (and these are really good things too!)

1. I know without a doubt that my Grammie is in heaven and is with her sisters and my grampie and is having an absolute blast. She was the last of 7 sisters (and 1 brother!) and I can remember them going to church and playing cards and drinking coffee together.
2. MY CAMERON IS MOVING BACK SOUTH!!!!! And closer (like 4 hours close!)... They are moving to Corbin,KY.
3. Something Cameron said to his dad about his Pappy passing was that he knows he's in Heaven looking down on him.
4. IT IS SO WONDERFUL THAT EVEN THOUGH WE ARE ALL SAD ABOUT MISSING THESE PEOPLE THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE HAPPY AND IN HEAVEN.

Now, I've got to get right with my life. I used to go to church all the time and be really involved and I don't do squat now. So It's going to be done. I will need help but it will be done!
