I figured out how to post from my iPad, but

I have yet to figure out how to get the entire pic to show up...

2017 Q1

Included the most fantastic girls getaway in Key West with my college Bests!  This will need an entire post so I don't forget all the quirky, fun memories!

Catching a frozen possum in the fish pond...

Garth Brooks in Memphis!

Celebrating dad's birthday...

And moms!

I received Make A Wish's emerging leader of the year award for the tri state area.  Many memories of the last year include special Make A Wish families.  I am so thankful I'm able to work with this amazing organization!

Lily's birthday rabbit was finally born and able to come home with her.  Meet Cottonball Thumper Jones!

And Lily has just come out of her shell.  She wanted to volunteer with me over spring break and literally my heart exploded!  She was a natural!

The back half of 2016...

Included a lot of weekends renovating the lake house (lake front renovation edition coming soon!), but some other memorial events for the blog memory book.

The Vols played at Bristol...

And won some big home games...

Mullen turned 3!

Layne turned 5!

Spent a Fun Friday with some of my bests and the seedsters at a pumpkin patch, Mexican fiesta and a Birthday dance party at The Mustard Seed!

Racing for a Cure!

Spontaneous shopping trip with just the 4 of us...

Lily got a big deer!

I blew glass!

Spent Thanksgiving with Ray's family in Asheville!

Celebrated Emily's 35th where we ended the night at Raifords Disco!

The annual Harbor Town Christmas Parade party was the start of the Holiday celebrations...

Our gourgous tree!

Happy Birthday, Jesus!  

Finished 2016 strong!

39

I have had the best time celebrating 39 with my family and friends!  I'm one lucky 39 year old!  I just wish I would have remembered to get a photo at each celebration!

Finally...the selfie at the movie!  The best memory!  We seriously laughed so hard at our 'spontaneousness' that we were crying!

FriYAY!

After a super long work week filled with transition meetings and 5 flights (and almost spending the night in the Dallas airport due to spring storms), I ended with a Friday morning meeting in Atlanta!  Then I planned it so I would have time for brunch with Torrey before heading back to Memphis for the orange and white gala.  Super way to spend the day!

Cheers to a selfie with this bestie and day drinking to celebrate being in the same city for a few hours!



Of course we hit the photo booth at the orange and white gala...I wish I had the group pics, but they are on someone else's phone.  We also hit the silent auction!  I'm a sucker for silent auctions that are for great causes and Ray is a sucker for a good deal and a tax deduction, so they are a a win, win!



Ray's work buddy, Colton, went with us and when we got to his house...they were twinning!

I miss my blog

My MacBook has been acting up for about a year.  So Ray decided it was time I upgraded to an iPad! I had been debating one for years, but he surprised me with one for my Birthday!  I'm excited to be able to blog again.  Time flies and my memory is getting worse by the day, so I love having this blog to reference and hold some of my favorite pics in case my phone crashes!

I'm going to spend this week catching up, then planning a lake front renovation update before I get back to my regular scheduled program!  That is once I figure out how to attach pics!

Labor Day at the Lake

We soaked up every last minute of summer.  Countdown to Memorial Day is on!

Sunday Sunday

1976 style to celebrate Kembree's 40th!  Skating was so much fun.  It was just like riding a bike (for one of us!).  

The Most Magical Days of Summer 2016

Were spent at Disney World with some of my favorite people!  We really only decided to go about 45 days before we left, but everything worked out great.  We stayed on property at one of the smallest resorts which worked out perfect as it had only one bus stop.  We got to the parks when they opened and stayed till they closed (with a break in the middle).  The meal plan was a great deal given the 3 character meals we enjoyed.  Fast passes are the way to go!  And I can not wait to go back!

Now for picture overload, because one day I really am going to turn my blog into a book (and these are just a few favorites of the 500+ we took and doesn't include any of the photo pass pictures we had taken with our package).  These loaded backwards, so scroll to the bottom and work your way up.  PS...I really do like roller coaster, but probably not as much at Lily does!  Actually all 3 of these kids LOVE rides and went on everything they were tall enough for!  Oh and when you have 11 people, matching shirts are the only way to go!
