The A to Z of Me {E is for…}

Got this cool idea from Tina Gray {dot} Me! She’s a great blogger and one of my new favorites!

I’ve decided that every Monday {hopefully} I will do a letter about me.  Why? Well, why not?:)

{E is for Eventful}

Eventful:  adj. full of events, especially of a striking character: an exciting account of an eventful life.

noteworthy, memorable, unforgettable

Not to toot my own horn but I’ve been known to throw some unforgettable parties.  That’s what I mean about Eventful.  I love hosting something!  If coffee is involved in my day, and it usually is, then I am in planning mode.  I’m not sure what it is that makes me like to plan events, but I love it.

Sometimes, the kids (my own) and I sit around and discuss some of the events I’ve hosted.  I’m sure my hubby would like to forget a lot of them and they probably represent work for him to do, but he knows this is who his wife is and kindly obliges me.

Certain seasons trigger my Eventfulness.  Of course Christmas is a major one.

Been hosting a Holiday Exchange for the past 5 years…

I even had a Primpin’ For Prom party for my Breezy when she was in high school…

And how can I forget Family Field Day {7 families compete at the park}…

These are just a few that I have in my event portfolio.

Let’s just say this girl is never boring!  I’ve got at lease 3 event ideas swirling around in my head now! Any excuse for a party is what I always say!

What do you have eventful going on lately?

Stop by next Monday for The A to Z of Me {F is for…}

anniversary.

June. 7. 1997.

I got married ya’ll!

Can’t believe it’s been this long.  I still feel like I just got out of high school…don’t we all say that?!

Every year I like to try to think about that day with new eyes.  A few years ago I remember posting The Original Bridezilla <—read!

This year as I’m reflecting, I can’t help but wonder what my wedding day may have been like if there was Pinterest 16 years ago…

I wouldn’t have been so afraid of getting married outside!

I totally would’ve done this at my wedding! My hubby and I love popcorn!

Of course I would’ve gotten married in the Fall…everybody knows that’s my favorite season!

Heehee…I know kinda shallow on this 16th Wedding Anniversary.  But hey, without Pinterest my special day turned out just as lovely and what matters most is that WE turned out.

But don’t worry friends…I have a daughter AND Pinterest!! :)

Happy Anniversary to me and my love!

School I.D.

Today marks the LAST day of my boy’s sophomore year in high school. I cannot believe the year has gone by so fast. This kid had a lot of firsts this year, especially being at a new school. Through all of the challenges and change, HE DID IT! On the way to school this morning [...]

I enjoy watching the news.  I like to be informed.  I can remember my mom having the news on all the time when I was growing up.  So I think it’s something I’ve inherited. But sometimes it gets the best of me. Yesterday I was tuned in all day on the Oklahoma tornadoes.  Growing up [...]

He’s on the mend from a 3 ligament tear on the court in our hometown this past weekend.  His spirits are high and he has great support. “You’ll never know how STRONG you are, until being strong is the only option you have left.” This speaks to me, how about you??

impromptu heart check.

She’s a relentless student of God’s Word.  There is rarely a morning or evening that I don’t see her nose in the Bible.  Yep, my heart swells with joy.  Occasionally as I’m passing through she will ask me a question about a verse or the pronunciation of a word.  Yesterday the questions led to sort [...]
