Happy Birthday Adam...a little late

Saturday was Adam's birthday!!!! We celebrated by going to Chattanooga and meeting his brother and family. It was such a nice day. We enjoyed the park a bit, then had dinner. It was just a good day. Of course that morning started out with "house" stuff and one of a million trips to Home Depot (aka, my second house).
He had a good Birthday!!!

House

We are about a month from being complete!!!! That is if all goes as planned. I am SO excited. Its starting to really look like what I envisioned. I am not posting any pictures till its complete. I want to surprise you all :) I know, like you care....but really I don't have time to take pictures right now. If I did take a picture tomorrow it would look different. That is how fast things are progressing. I love progress!!!

As far as selling our current house.....Well thats not progressing as much as I hoped. We had a couple to look at it last night. They made an offer this morning but it was MUCH less than what we want. It was actually cheaper than what we paid for it. I have a lady coming tomorrow and I am just hoping and praying she likes it and makes a reasonable offer! I am not as stressed as I should be though. I know God is in control of all things. He knows exactly what we need!!!!

Have a GREAT weekend! I know ours will be busy. I am loving this cooler weather though!

Girls Trip Destin 2011

riding the Train

Look a Sandcastle!!

"Stop" in the name in love!

Clear water!

She loves her Nana

Her "Cheese" Face! Notice she closes her eyes.

We had such a fun girls trip to Destin. Thankfully we changed our dates and missed Storm Lee. The weather was SO amazing. I have never been down to Destin when the weather was so perfect. It was only in the 80s during the day. We didn't have any rain and the water was crystal clear. Ava did great on the trip. She LOVED the water and sand. All we heard the whole time was "I wanna go to the Beach". When she would wake up from naps she would yell that. I am so proud that she got to enjoy it. We spent most of our days relaxing on the beach. We would go from playing in the sand to splashing in the water. She even took a couple naps on the beach. I was able to read a whole book in 3 days!! Its been a long time since I can say I did that. I read Water For Elephants. I got some yummy seafood a few nights. Friday was moms birthday so we let her choose the place for dinner. She hates seafood so we had Italian. We did some shopping at night and ate a bunch of ice cream. :)
Oh and we saw 3 sand sharks. I was very close to one. I was playing in the water with Ava and one started swimming down the beach parallel to the shore line. We saw some dolphins too!

We had so much fun!!!!

Mother Nature

Oh Mother Nature!! You are so unpredictable and mysterious. You change our plans when we think we are going to do certain things at particular times. BUT thats life!

First of all right now I am suppose to be in Destin laying on the beach getting some sun.....BUT you thought otherwise. Me,Mom, and Ava were taking a girls beach trip. Thankfully last Thursday when we realized this tropical storm was going to affect the gulf I called, and the WONDERFUL reservation specialists let me change my dates without penalty. And I got some money back due to rates going down :) SO YEAH!!!!!!!! So far the forecast is pretty for the end of this week at the beach. So excited!!!!

We were planning on going to Art Sunday yesterday after church but it was raining all afternoon. OH well maybe next year. I would have probably spent too much money on unnecessary cute things anyways.

And for Labor Day.....normally this day is full of sun, grilled food, and Friends. So far I am still in my pjs at 11 and I don't see me getting out of them for a while. Actually I am enjoying this rainy day!!
