Hey friends...

Between a new job and "the boy" who is now in my life, my free time has been lacking and my blogging time is sufferening.  A lot has been going on lately, but that's not what this post is about.

If you've followed my blog for a while, you know all about sweet Lucy Krull. Sweet, sweet Lucy.

Please take the time to read the latest update on Lucy, and join me in praying for her and her precious family.

On a roll....

I've posted several times in the past week (YAY ME!)

 Scroll down to catch up (somewhat!). 

I've made a few changes on the 'ol blog, and will try my best not to abandon you again...

pretty sister of mine...

HAPPY 29th BIRTHDAY!

I love this girl.

Jazz Fest 2012

Clay and I spent a couple of days in New Orleans for Jazz Fest and we had a blast!

Preschool Grad

I can't believe "my" sweet Henry will start Kindergarten in the fall! 

So proud of this sweet little guy on his preschool graduation!

Precious.

Super Bulldog Weekend

Super Bulldog weekend was a couple of weeks ago!  What a fun baseball weekend it was for our bulldogs as we swept  UT!

Go Dawgs!

Flirty 30...

A few weekends ago, I got to spend some time with Shannon and a few of her friends in Atlanta for her 30th!

Such fun.

Yes!  I ordered custom made wine labels for the celebration!  SO cute.  (Click here to get yours!)

I love my 30s and happy to help my friends celebrate when they join me in this glorious decade of our lives!:)

3 big birthdays!

Our family celebrated the birthdays of 3 special men last month!---My dad, Uncle Bobby, and sweet Jones!

Our best attempt at getting a picture of them all!

Happy birthday, guys!

birthdays, baseball, babies, and EASTER (whew!)

Since the last time I blogged....

I've helped my Mamaw celebrate her 90th birthday...

....celebrated MY 31st birthday...



...helped Jones celebrate his 2nd birthday...



...spent a good bit of time at Dudy Noble field for a little MSU baseball...

...met the newest addition to the Overstreet family!  Congrats Kane, Katey, Camp, and Paxton!...

...and celebrated Easter with my wonderful family!

  Things are crazy busy, but that's still no excuse for neglecting the blog!  I'm going to get better again.

Is anybody still even reading??
Please say yes.

Did y'all see this?

This is just fantastic. 

Go State!

Goodness.

Well... I totally failed on my February blog challenge. It's crazy at school this time of the year and my bulldogs have been keeping me busy, but I'm choosing to blame this guy for my lack of blogging...

Perhaps I'll be back soon. Don't quit on me!

Feb. 8: Sun

The sun peeked out a couple of times during this cool day, but it was the moon that really caught my eye! (Here I go again changing up the challenge!)
But seriously... Isn't that beautiful? How can somebody look at this and think there's no God?

Feb. 7: Button

Right now, my favorite button is on my remote control!

After a couple of tough days at school, I came home today, took Max for a walk, and am now relaxing with a glass of wine and my DVR!

My Tuesday just got better...

Feb. 6: Dinner

I love the Super Bowl.  Not because I am a fan of the NFL (College sports, please!), but because I love a good excuse to get together with fun friends and eat yummy food! Yesterday I made Mini Mexican Pizzas.  They were SO easy and tasted FANTASTIC! 

(Luckily, I had a little left over, so that's exactly what I had for dinner tonight!)

You'll need to click on the link above for the full recipe, but below you'll see step by step pictures of this oh-so-simple meal!

Ingredients:

Steps:

VIOLA!

(You can even bake the excess tortilla to make chips!)

I don't know what you had for dinner, but I promise it wasn't this good.

Feb. 5: 10 am

And yet, another strange request for this February challenge, but alas, I shall oblige.

10:00 am

This morning at 10, I was at church listening to my wonderful pastor preach an amazing sermon from James.  Since it's Super Bowl Sunday, he used football analogies, which I thought was just genius since so many people had football on their minds anyway!  What a blessing that man is to our church, my family, and this town! I just love him.

What were you doing at 10 AM?

Tomorrow is Monday, and I'm hoping not to see 10 PM tonight, so I'm off.

Hoping your week is wonderful.

Feb 4: Stranger

For my day 4 challenge, I was to post a picture of a stranger.  That's just a little weird though, don't you think?  I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want a stranger taking a picture of me and posting it on their blog.

So...instead, I'm including my new favorite picture....

My sweet nephews having a ball in the tub tonight! 

Does it get any cuter?  I think not.

Forgive me from swaying from the challenge today, but I thought this picture was much more fun.

Happy Super Bowl weekend! 

Who are you pulling for tomorrow night?

Feb. 3: Hands

This blog contains nearly 1,000 posts and I'm pretty sure I've never blogged about my hands.

But...for those of you dying to see what my hand looks like, here ya go:

My hands (and feet) are nearly identical to my dad's-- a more feminine version of them of course.

My fingers are long and thin and my middle fingers are crooked.  I generally like to have painted nails, but I've been too lazy to paint them lately I'm in between polishes right now.  My nails are short at the moment because I pick at them when I'm nervous or stressed, and well, school's done it to me lately!  They stay nice and pretty during the summer!

I'm also wearing my Nana's ring here, which I wear nearly everyday. It makes me happy. 

Glad I could share my hand with you...
