Glenwood Homecoming 2011

My brother and his girlfriend, Madison, went to Glenwood's Homecoming dance tonight...we met all of the other Juniors down at the River Walk tonight to take pics of everyone...Things are so different than when I was in high school!  We wore long evening gowns with full on hair/makeup....we went all out, ladies!

These girls looked just as gorgeous...just more modern with their short dresses and super duper high heels (love!)...

Maddy looked beautiful...And i guess the goofy kid brother looked pretty handsome as well (although he refused to wear the khakis and bow tie like I wanted...rebel that he is he wore black pants! :(  ). 

Here are some pics...

Stewart and Madison-wish I had gotten close up of her nails...super fierce w/ black and multi colored glitter...SO awesome!

One of the groups - all Juniors I think?

Juniors - close group of friends...My poor mother has to host this group + 20 @ her house after the dance!

Bible Verse and Baby Pug

Whatever is noble, bright, pure, and lovely...Think on these things.  Philippians 4:8

Just a picture to go along with this Bible verse...Here is Prissy pug's new sibling that was born just days ago...Still pure and lovely and so sweet!

How adorable are baby Pugs...especially the solid black ones!  We were so  blessed to find sweet Prissy and her breeder...a very sweet military family in our area...they were wonderful and raised a sweet girl.  This tiny baby is from Prissy's mom's newest litter...

Fall, Y'all

These are some pictures that I found via pinterest...They are all soooo pretty and all about the beautiful visuals that fall brings.  I can't wait for crisp and cool weather like we've had this morning.  I took my coffee outside with the pugs this morning and just watched them run, jump, and play...They thoroughly enjoy cooler temps as well :). 

We have a big family wedding coming up in less than a month that P and I are both in...exciting stuff :).  I can't wait to see how the future Mrs. Ethridge decorates everything...should be pretty w/ all the fall colors and pumpkins, etc. 

We are doing chili tonight at mama and daddy's house and watching some football...I don't think either of our teams are televised, but we will have fun watching the others...RTR and GO Dawgs!

Blogging, Picture, and an Update

I read a post the other day about blogging rules/by-lines for people to go by...Say what?!  I thought the whole purpose of blogging was to write about and share exactly what you feel like..nothing more, and nothing less...I don't care how many followers I have, or if I don't have the most blinged out headers, etc...I do this to type my feelings out and vent, share, and mellow for just a second or two by having sat here and shared something that was on my mind or that I was excited, saddened, etc. by...

It's not always grammatically correct, pretty, etc...but it's my thoughts and my life.  :)

My favorite blogs to read are the ones that don't post that silly stuff but the real, pretty, interesting, and entertaining stuff...Yes...I do love FLUFF :)  Sometime we all need fluff...even if its in the form of blogger :)

Switching Gears....This is a photo of me, Nana, and my Aunt Pam at Christmas time.  This is my aunt that has been so sick.  She is now home from Emory and is at home resting and healing.  Praise the Lord for answered prayers...

Have a blessed TGIAF (Thank goodness its almost Friday!)
XOXO

Monday Pretty

I saw this photo and it is just so pretty and simple...I needed to see pretty this morning...The pug bit my finger last night and it is now SWOLLEN up...hubby doesn't seem worried, but then it's not his finger that looks like a stack of marshmallows. :)

Hoping the swelling goes down, and in the mean time...here's a Monday Pretty Photo...If only I could make my eyelashes look like that...only w/ false lashes! ;)

Hospitals

I have not posted any photos or updates from our SSI trip, because the day we got back we were unpacking, cleaning up, and sleeping...Until the midnight phone call...

I always keep my cell phone beside the bed so in case something happens, someone can reach me.  Mom called to tell us that her older sister, my Aunt Pam, was in ICU at St. Francis.  She was upset and crying and asked me to come, so I jumped up and got dressed and met her and my family at the hospital...all 15 of us.  We are a big family and we love each other and are very protective of one another...

The doctor told us she might not make it thru the night...we all prayed and stayed there till 6am the next morning when we knew she pulled through...I went home and slept for a few hours and came back up there b/c they were going to transfer her to Emory where they were equipped to do the surgery she needed...massive tears all thru her aorta.  We cleaned her house for the past two days and got it ready for them to come home, and the great news is she gets to come home today, thank goodness!

Praying for her safe recovery...

St Simons Island, Georgia

This is where we are headed...

It is SO beautiful in St. Simons and the hubby and I joke that as soon as you cross the bridge you are then on "Island Time" and everything seems to move slower...No joke, it really does! :)  We go EVERY year with his whole fam...cousins, aunts, uncles and everything, and we pile into one house together.  Chaos, but we love it! :)  The only thing I will miss terribly back home is Prissy & Porter Pug.  Prissy has her little ladies surgery this morning and I am so worried over her...praying she does just fine.  :)

Happy Labor Day Weekend....Here's to the end of Summer (and wearing white :(  )
