Day 5: Someone I Love (and miss terribly)

My Brother, Stephen.

He didn't actually play baseball, he played golf but just had the shirt.  Most of his clothes were not his because he lost pretty much everything article of clothing in record time.  Then he would just borrow from somebody else and it always swallowed him whole.  Shoes... who needs shoes?  Those were purposefully lost to drive my mom crazy because he despised wearing shoes and was barefoot all summer long (fortunately he was a lifeguard so it was easy to get away with)

This one pretty much sums up his personality... getting catapulted off the blob at Blue Lake

Loving some Alabama football in the student section with me, I think he was about 16 in this picture.

Day 4: Favorite Color

Alright, I'm a day late and I cheated a bit... This is a picture of my flowers from our wedding but I loved the colors of my wedding.  My favorite color is coral, like a pinky coral not orangy coral.  This is really hard to find because almost all corals take on an orange look.  I think the flower at the top of the picture with the yellow tip is just perfect :) I wish I could have made it bigger after I cropped the picture but it was blurry.  I'll be sure to get my Day 5 up before today is over!

Day 3: Clouds

Anchors Away...

I loved this song when I was little.  I think because my dad was in the Navy and he would sing it to me.  I still love to hear it and they played it the first night we were on our cruise for the "Welcome Aboard" show.  Here are some of our favorite pictures from the trip.

St Thomas

Barbados

St Lucia

Day 2:  What I Wore

What I wore today and everyday.





30 Day Challenge

My friend Mollie sent me this link for a 30 day challenge.  I thought it looked fun and maybe not too time consuming.  Here's the link for all the specific days.

I'm going to attempt to really post one picture a day so when you see all this you will know what it's about.  Let me know if anyone else out there wants to try because I would love to see your pics!

Day 1: Self Portrait

Tired and ready for bed!  I feel this way alot lately.

This and That

Here are our new (well, a couple months old now) appliances that I love!  They all are sooo much better than what we had and they look pretty too :)

This is a block of the countertops that we want to install against the backsplash we already have.  After this project our kitchen renovation will be complete.



On a totally different note, these are pics from the awesome Martina McBride concert that Tommy and I took my parents too.  Mom and Tommy (both reluctant to go since Dad and I are the country fans) both really enjoyed the concert.  She always has such a strong beautiful voice and she pushed through with the humidity.  It was sooo humid that night because it had rained ALL day (literally all but the two hours she played in the amphitheater) and after "Broken Wing" she was said "Shew, I didn't think I would ever catch a breath!  I've never been in such humidity".  Welcome to South Alabama! lol

I realized just tonight while talking to my MIL why I have been such a slacker with posting.  Here's my excuse, I always blogged last spring or tried to be crafty/creative while Tommy was in class on Mon and Tues nights.... well, he hasn't had class since May so I haven't been taking much me time.  Classes start back next Tuesday so we will hopefully be back on track for the blogging world (maybe... no promises!)

Summer??

Where has the summer gone?  I never promised when I started this blog that I would be very consistent at posting on a regular basis but July has just flown by without me knowing it! 

Coming soon.... hydrangea update (for those who read that post), kitchen pictures that I promised to post a while back and never did and Martina McBride concert pics. 

In the near future... we are leaving for a 7 day cruise with my parents Saturday (yay!!!)  so lots of pics and stories from vacation, then on Aug 10 we find out what Baby Candler will be :)  Lots of things to keep me busy posting if I will just sit down and do it. 

Hope everyone else has had a wonderful summer!
