stopping to breathe.
It has been quite a whirl wind since I last posted. We have new baby in the family, spent much needed time with friends and finally got the siding put on the house.
Yes, Margaret Sloan Hardee has arrived and is 4 weeks old. She is so precious. She is one of those babies that make you want to have them yourself. She is so little and so sweet and so curious of the world around her. Thankfully, she is oblivious to all the wrong in the world and as long as she gets fed every 3-5 hours – everything is right in the world. If it was only like that at 24…
In the month of April, I got to catch up with some old sisters who I haven’t seen in a while. The thing I love about those girls is the fact that we can got a few months or even years and you get us back all in the same room and it is like no time has passed. We got to catch up and my friend Pratt’s lingerie/bachelorette part.
We had a great time and had plans to go out afterwords – but we literally sat there and talked about old times and how in the world I am alive and how out of like ten of us, Michelle and I were the first to get married! Crazy huh? No kidding aside, I owe a lot to those girls – they brought me back to life after a time where I had lost my sense of being and who I was. They helped me find myself and again and helped me become a better person. I miss them all dearly – from the ones that live 30 minutes to the ones who now call Nashville their home. We all got back together a few weeks later as we watch Pratt marry her man in a gorgeous church in Huntsville and then we enjoyed each others company at the Huntsville Museum of Art for the reception. Needless to say, I came home and told Dillion I’d move to Huntsville – tomorrow…
I also got an opportunity to chaperon (go ahead and say it, I know you are all asking yourselves – am I even old enough to be a chaperon?) the current chapter to The Fox Theater in HotLanta! I had a blast along with the other girls and even danced a little without completely embarrassing the girls! We had a two hour bus ride over and then a two hour ride back – but it was worth it. For those of you who have been to the Fox – you believe me when I say that it is gorgeous. For those of you who haven’t been there, plan a trip like yesterday and go check it out!
Here is a picture of me and Meg all dressed up on the bus - ready to go!
Then to wrap up the month we went out Friday night to celebrate my very good friend Johanna’s bday. Along with Meg – these girls are the fresh breathe to my life. I love hanging out with them and it is never a dull time. We went to Cocina Superior for drinks and dinner and the food was delicious!
We had a nice table out on the patio where we could be as loud as we wanted. I think they were warned ahead of time. Due to Dillion’s hectic work schedule, it was nice to have my man by my side and enjoy some much needed time together outside of the two of us and our four walls at home. Unfortunately, we decided not to venture out after dinner – Dill had to work and I wasn’t up for the marathon the girls had planned! See what I have to go through everytime I try to take a picture, I end up with like three sets of pictures!
Needless to say April was a very busy month – but I got to spend it with my lovely family, adoring friends and when work permitted some nice time with Dillion as well.
May started off with a bang with my friend Lindsey’s little girls 2nd birthday! They celebrated at the McWane Center and I can honestly say that the adults had as much fun as the kids. It was also nice to put some faces with names I hear throughout the day since Lindsey works like, literally 2 ½ feet from me. We have a great time at work. I think I can honestly say I enjoy my job more now than ever. We keep ourselves pretty entertained and she has turned out to be a really great friend and great source for advice. Here's a pic of us way back when one of our tenants gave us tickets to the Rockettes.
It has been a whirlwind – but I would have had it any other way. I have great friends, a new baby niece and made some decisions that are going to make life awesome!
