Friendship

I thought this poem was wonderful and speaks so much about true friendships and all that you hope and pray for everyone, but most especially your true close friends!  I know I love mine and hope for them all the very best in life...

Send My Friend An Angel

by Corky Ferguson

Please send my friend an angel.

Send her one of mine;

A loving and caring one,

The best that you can find.

Please send my friend an angel,

And trust her with its care;

Someone or something for her to love,

And to always be there.

Please send my friend an angel,

One to help her fill her days;

With hope, love, and laughter,

And the warmth of sunshine rays.

Please send my friend an angel -

You know she gave me one of mine.

Please send her down an angel;

A true friend's hard to find.

One Kings Lane

Okay...So I stumbled on another GREAT shopping place, One Kings Lane...I'm only sad I stumbled upon it after the Lilly stuff was sold out! :( But just go here for some great sales!! :) Happy Hump Day!!!share

Summer Time Sweetness

So the summer is almost over for me as far as school goes...but otherwise it's still full steam ahead!

The downstairs is being painted tomorrow where the leak in the wall was so it should smell like "new house" some time tomorrow afternoon...

Porter has discovered that he is a master bird hunter and brings dead, mutilated birds to the back door and is just so proud I don't have the heart to scold him...totally disgusting little Pug that he is!

Fourth of July is here upon us this weekend and besides being grateful to our founding fathers and troops all around the world, it's also on the 3rd my father-in-law and grandfather's birthdays...thus celebration time!

St. Simon's is also upon us this year...we haven't been able to go w/ the hubby's family for a good length of time (if at all) in about three years...but NOT THIS YEAR!!! We are coming!!!!! :)

The hubby's b-day is in August as well...and our Pug Porter, who will be 1 year old! :)

Lots of fun things happening in the next month or so...will post pics when all of these fun things happen! :)

Testing!

So we are testing ALOT in this class I just started...in fact we have one this afternoon from 3-5pm. I am NOT a good tester...let me write you a paper or an essay, and I can do that all day long happily...but please, please don't make be answer a multitude of multiple choice and true/false questions! :(

I am on here blogging as I am procrastinating getting my power points out to study! I have four chapters on which I need to be cramming before 2:30pm when I have to head to the college.

I am saying a selfish prayer that I can get through this test successfully w/ a B or C...I'm not even aiming for the A on this one!

Happy Weekend to everyone...I will be studying! :(

Water, Water, Everywhere!

Oh my...out basement has had it series of issues, and we have solved them all fixing them as needed as they have occurred. Our basement is not just any basement, it's a finished one that I think is rather pretty...painted concrete floors, flat screen TV, comfy leather sofas and dim lighting...my hubby's very own MAN CAVE! :)

However, it is also the only place that houses a walk-in closet...MY walk-in closet to be exact. You see...I have an addiction to clothes that I just can't seem to kick; clothes, shoes, pocketbooks...You get the picture!

Well, we had a water line bust in the wall last night and it proceeded to spew water allllll over the room alllll night long. I only discovered it this morning when letting the dog out. Thank goodness for our wonderful plumber, Mr. C. Without him, not sure what we would do! The insurance man came, and we had to move all of the stuff outside to dry out. My clothes and all are fine, but I'm bummed that some of my favorite books are soggy and wet.

Say a little prayer that everything stays dry for awhile at the Bivins household :)

The Gym Blues

We are trying to go to the gym on a regular basis...but it just doesn't always happen. We ate pizza tonight, and I have a new book on my audio book app on my ipod - therefore I have the motivation and want to get on the treadmill so I can listen to my new book...the hubby on the other hand...now so much! :(

We are also having a hard time with our puppy, Port. He wants to go into the yard and eat, roll, and play with cat poop from the neighborhood cats that choose to do their dirty business in OUR backyard! Why, oh why, our backyard!!! Is there something you can do to deter cats???

Now off to bathe the dog for the 1,000th time this week...BUT before I do...I am not obsessed with "Pretty Little Liars"...it is actually not a bad show and beats all the other stuff on TV during the summer....other than "True Blood" that is!!! :)

I also have a TONNNN of stuff due in school by next Tuesday and am slightly overwhelmed...it helps me to write/type that down instead of thinking it to myself...I stress over school stuff so much that by the time I sit down to get it all accomplished, I have worked myself into a complete tizzy...Hopefully I can learn how to manage this...I need to get on the treadmill and do yoga and drink herbal tea and all the other stuff that is supposed to calm nerves!

Summer Time Happenings

Summer Time Is Finally Here...Along with the HEAT!!!

Porter playing in the sprinklers...

Summer is finally here along with some intense heat here in Georgia! Philip and I like to walk in the evenings now, but WOW it's hot when doing so...and we can't take Porter with us anymore because he just gets too hot with his sweet little squished nose and all! :)

I am super busy in school right now, as I took four classes this summer. I am almost done with my third one, but the fourth one is just getting started. I WANT a break...not need, but WANT! I would love to feel the sand in my toes and the smell of the ocean...it would be DIVINE!

This is the one quick weekend trip we took...by the POOL...ahhh...

Philip is super busy at work as well...S my little brother is working with him some this summer and we are so proud of him...earning his own spending moolah! He has a new girlfriend, S. wo we just all LOVE!



Port is adjusting to the family just fine and will turn 1 year old in two months right after the hubby turns 34! :)


We have been busy working, schooling, cleaning, yard-working, dog-walking, friend-seeing, etc lately and are excited to slow down and spend time with family this weekend for fathers day and my mom's BIRTHDAY!!!

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend and FATHER'S DAY! :)
