The Guy Behind the Blog!

Tuesday, August 18, 2015

I saw this little series on a blog I came across back in the spring and decided to adjust it to make it my own.  I’ve been blogging for almost a year and couldn’t have gotten started without the support of my husband.  I think he was a little skeptical at first, but now he realized how big the blogging community is and he’s extremely supportive!

I asked D a few questions so that y’all could know him a little better.  (And I learned a little bit too ha!  And he talks so much except for when I asked him these questions…then he gave the shortest answers ever!)



1. What are 3 things on your Bucket List?
Go on a big game hunt in, like, Canada, became a father and raise my kid to be a great ballplayer, and become successful in a business venture

2. What are your hobbies?
Hunting, fishing, college football, and outdoor conservation

3. If you could look out your window everyday and see only one view for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?
The ocean from a remote island or a remote beach house because it lets your mind think–there’s no end in sight for what you can see

4. What did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a country singer where all the ladies would dig me

5. What’s your favorite dish that I cook?
Chicken-n-dumplins

6. Favorite sports team?
Alabama Crimson Tide, Atlanta Braves, Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens

7. If you could have 50 lbs of anything other than money, what would it be and why?
Probably corn so I could put it out and kill deer

8. What’s your favorite thing about me?  ๐Ÿ™‚
Your personality, smile, you’re genuine

Weekend Recap

Monday, August 17, 2015

This was my first weekend since kids started back to school on Wednesday.  Translation?  I went to bed early every night and did absolutely nothing.  There’s just something about getting back into the swing of things at the beginning of a school year that just wears a teacher out!  I told Dustin to think of it this way–while he was working this summer and I was at home, I talked to no one.  Now I’m talking constantly all day long and at an elevated voice level for all of my students to hear.  I. AM. SO. TIRED.

Friday

I took zero pictures.  I got home.  Laid on the couch for a little bit.  Dustin and I decided to go out to eat because I had no energy to cook.  Then I fought sleep until I decided to go to be at 9 o’clock.  

Saturday

I slept 11 glorious hours!  I don’t even think I slept that long all summer so you know I was exhausted.

I got out and ran 3 miles = tough.  I let my running slide this summer because of the heat.  Hopefully I’ll have time this week to go run at the gym since it’s supposed to rain every day.
Then I cleaned the house, and since it rained most of the day, I read a book.  We also waited around for our mattress to get delivered and they called about 5:30 PM letting us know that the truck had broken down and we couldn’t get our mattress until Sunday.

[Side note: We bought a mattress from Mattress Firm two weeks ago.  They delivered a week later.  One of the box springs was broken (apparently king size beds get 2??) and the mattress had black stuff all over the side and part of the top.  They sent us another mattress Friday.  It was even worse–it had lots of black smudges and so Dustin refused it.  I didn’t find this out until I came home from school.  Truck broke down Saturday.  At this point, we decided that if we didn’t get a mattress on Sunday that we would ask for our money to be refunded and go down the road to another mattress store.]

Sunday

Selfie after church on Sunday!

And then we tried out the self-timer.  We’ll need some practice.

The mattress people arrived!!

Dustin’s feelings toward this whole mattress process.

I quickly snapped this to show y’all how he went out to greet the delivery guys and talk to them as they brought our mattress in.

And it is a keeper!!!!!  We ended up getting a Tempur-Pedic Flex–which is their latest model–and we can’t wait to try it out!  Hopefully no more backaches!

That night Dustin grilled and my dad came to eat with us.  We love having people come eat, and we always pray that our cooking turns out ha!

Friday Favorites!

Friday, August 14, 2015

IT’S FINALLY FRIDAY!!!!!!!  Y’all, I survived my first couple of days back to school and I am so happy the weekend is in sight.  My kids this year seem to be really good–but it’s still the first few days of school, so they should be on their best behavior still, right?

As usual, I’m linking up with Andrea for Friday Favorites!

We had our open house Sunday so the students could familiarize themselves with their schedules and meet their teachers.  I love having open house before school officially starts because it’s perfectly acceptable to ask each student what his or her name is ha!  The pressure is always on when open house is in September and you’re really trying to remember each kid’s name as they come to your class with their parents!  This year I’m teaching beside a girl I graduated high school with–she just got hired and I am so thrilled!  Seventh grade English is going to be my FAVORITE this year!
Tuesday night I went to watch Dustin play softball for our church.  The weather felt great, and it was a definite FAVORITE being able to sit and talk with everyone before the craziness that is school started the next day!
First day outfit = a FAVORITE!!!  Also, I only lasted a half day standing in those wedges until I had to change to flats.  My feet will need to be re-trained to stand in heels all day.  
 Dress from Anthropologie

Probably my #1 FAVORITE this week–mailing this book back to Amazon!!!!  NEVER AGAIN WILL I EVER TAKE STATISTICS!  (I still hated statistics.)

Second day of school outfit = another FAVORITE!!!  I was a little unsure about buying this dress this past summer because even though it is sooo comfortable, I was afraid it made me look fat.  I walked into school yesterday morning and had a handful of good compliments before school even started.  I’ll definitely wear this dress more often now!
Dress from Anthropologie (and on sale now!)

Check out yesterday’s post I did for Paul Fredrick!  I think the outfit I created is a definite FAVORITE!

Another FAVORITE of mine?  My Tuesday Home Tour series!!  My first one was on my friend Kristi’s home, and it’s gorgeous!

Happy Resurrection Sunday from our family to yours!
Hate I admit this, but tonight was the first time Hate I admit this, but tonight was the first time Iโ€™d taken all 3 kids by myself to the mall ๐Ÿ™ˆ I needed an Easter dress, so all 3 went with me! We all squeezed into 1 dressing room, and the boys gave me 2 thumbs up!
