What's mine is Ewers: July 2012

Everyone's moving.

Life has taken a turn for crazy and hasn't let up yet.

Ahh, but firs things first.

My last post ended with excitement about our lake trip - which was a blast! There was food everywhere, floats, a kayak, and a boat. CJ's family knows how to do two things really well: cook and have fun. While I didn't take pictures, I did get a few from my MIL.

CJ's sister Staci and her family just told their first home and are in the process of building their dream home. While waiting for their new home to be built, they have to stay in an apartment. We helped them move Saturday and were happy to be able to help. We enjoyed the time together with everyone.

Unfortunately, that apartment didn't work out so we helped them move to another complex Monday night. Whew!
Bye Bye Old House!

Oh. And we're moving too.
Want a peak?

Lovely!
More pictures after we move in. With OUR stuff in the home.
Completely renovated and charming.

By the end of the year we will have moved Staci three times (hopefully their house will be done by December) and us once. We may look into opening out own moving company.

For the first time since last Tuesday I am sitting on the couch. I need to close the laptop and snuggle with my hubby and fur kids.

Sleep tight.

Last weekend my mom went with us to visit family in Mississippi and had a super duper fun time.

As usual, I should have taken more pictures.

(excuse me while I blame shift this!)

It was just too hot to take pictures and had nothing to do with the fact that I was too focused on good conversation and cute shoes in the windows of Oxford's stores.

We met my Uncle Bill, Aunt Jo, and Aunt Nancy then went to see Loren and Brandon's sweet baby and their first home in Water Valley.

Best mom ever, Aunt Jo, Hadley

Hadley's light fixture. Isn't it neat-o?

Loren's creative sign she made. Also neat-o!

We had lunch in Oxford at Old Venice Pizza then did a little shopping. It was Oxford's birthday so there were fun little sidewalk sales in front of some stores. Oxford is just beautiful!

The Square in Oxford

She's so pretty. I have the best momma ever.

Hubby was able to see the Ole Miss campus for the first time. He really enjoyed it!

The Lyceum

Walk of Champions

Then we went to my grandmother's house in Dumas for a magnificent dinner and a little quality time with my cousin Jonathan who is leaving to go live overseas with his family in a couple of months.

Lots of special memories made!

I always have the best time when we visit! My aunts are so funny and in their different ways, much like my mom. I usually spend a lot of time laughing, which is alright by me. Mostly though, I enjoy spending time with my mom and seeing her so happy around her family.

Back here in Alabama...

I made turkey/tomato/arugula/avacado/cream cheese whole wheat wraps. They were yummy and easy. As a side I made sweet potato chips. They were yummy and not so easy.

Note to self: buy a slicer!

Hubs had pretty pink roses waiting on me when I walked in from the office Monday. I may have said this a time or two before, but I'm absolutely in love with that sweet man of mine!

We spent July 4th at our pool soaking in the sun and chatting with each other. It was SO relaxing!

We ordered a pizza after and crashed!

Polly loves watching tv and surfing the web. She's a nut!

My mom and I did a little shopping this week...
(isn't she pretty!)

and she got her ears pierced! I just got mine done last November and since then she has talked about wanting to get hers done. Go mom!

Now, it's FRIDAY!

If you're looking for a little adult beverage to sip on your porch later...

The Lazy Magnolia Southern Pecan is sold in stores here and his made in Kiln, MS. No, I don't like it just because it's from MS. It truly is delicious with a hint of pecan!
