Lucy Myer Was "Showered" With Love

Yesterday, I, along with several other women had the privilege to throw a shower for Amy and Miss Lucy. Amy has always been the queen of shower throwing and never fails to forget a single detail! You may remember the bridal shower that she helped throw for me just a few months ago! She made sure that everything was absolutely perfect! I wanted to do the same for her! The day started with torrential downpours that lasted......all day long! We were a little bit worried but sweet friends braved the weather and Mangs, Pudge, and Lucy were certainly blessed with so many sweet gifts! I had lots of help making this shower great and I hope that my sister felt as loved as she truly is! 

Right when people walked in....

We were blessed to have my dad, brother, and the daddy to be, as our own personal valet! They pulled up, were ushered to the door, and they parked cars! So thankful!

A clothesline with all sorts of monogrammed goodies!

Little details

Adorable and delicious cookies made by a sweet friend! Thanks Morgan!

The kitchen setup was my favorite! Parasols hung from the ceiling, flowers everywhere, banners, etc.!

Adorable cake and beautiful monogram

Gumballs and a cute little girl!

Pink lemonade for a girl! 

Soon to be parents!!

Mantle

Grandmother, Mangs, and baby Charlotte!

So many thoughtful gifts! Wish I would have gotten a picture of all of the many many gifts she was blessed with! They are all set!

Lucy's arrival checklist! :) 

Sadly, we didn't get a picture with all of our hostesses!

Thank you Melia, Mrs. Sherry, Julie, Catherine, Lindsey, and although she wasn't a hostess...thank you mom for letting us use your home and helping!! :)

I love you sweet sister and hope that this shower was up to your standards! :) Just kidding! So thankful for you and happy that God has entrusted Lucy to you and Pudge!! This aunt is pumped to live across the street!! I love you!!

he & she (may 2012)

:.. he and she ..:

They had a busy May

Which is crazy because June seems as though it will be even busier...

She literally blogged three times. What? 

They spent some time in the pool

They continued to watch veggies grow and were able to eat some!

They had a visit from family and some sweet nieces

Then went to see his family in Phenix City

He finished up his first year of teaching....

And then a week later she finished hers! :) 

They are looking forward to their first summer as husband and wife! :)

(p.s. totally took this pic today. took NO pictures of us in may....lame. we'll do better this month!)

Sweet Little Charlotte

This past weekend Eric, Linds, V, and C came to visit! As always, the camera was ready and I had the privilege to snap some photos of my new niece....she was so sweet and happy just about the whole time!

love those toes

Little angel

She slept so soundly in that basket :)

Little hands

It's a challenge to choose a favorite...particularly when it is your niece!! :) Isn't she beautiful!?!?

And a blog post of one little niece just wouldn't be complete without a picture of the other...

This angel is so much fun and so sweet!! We had a lot of fun playing in the pool, swinging, and just playing together!

I happen to think she is beautiful too! :) 

Happy Tuesday!

6 Months

Brett and I have officially made it to 6 months of marriage!

It has just flown by and I have learned so many things in this short time....

1. Expiration dates dont necessarily always apply....just saying.

2. Monthly meal planning and preparing grocery lists for the month has been a life saver!

3. To-do lists or simply projects you want done never end.

4. Falling asleep and waking up next to your best friend every single day is the best thing ever!

5. When you have a house....you never feel like it is clean enough.

6. He produces WAY more laundry than I do. hmmmm....

7. His definition of cleanliness isn't exactly the same as mine. :) 

8. Being married is a lot of fun

9. It is also a lot of work

10. The Lord knew what He was doing when He decided that Brett would be the one to walk beside me for the rest of our lives.

I love you husband and am so thankful for the 6 happiest months of my life! You are the best!

Gardening Progress

So, I have to say, this is a super fun hobby! We are totally gardeners. I had no idea how fun it would be to walk out and see them change every single day! Well, in seeing these two pictures you can already tell we have progress.

Day 1...haha

After they were planted...

This week!!! WOW!! Look at how much everything has changed....

The first day I saw the tomatoes.....

This week....We have little clusters like this all over! So exciting! 

Jalapeños everywhere! 

Day 1 on the left and this week on the right, although this bell pepper is growing so quickly and others are popping up all over! 

Last but not least, we have a lovely zucchini and squash popping up as well! 

It really is so exciting that we have progress! 

We were only a little bit worried that things might not grow! :) Cannot wait to see more progress and finally be able to pick our veggies!
