Catching Up Again: Days 6, 7, and 8

I really feel bad that I haven't kept up on the 30 day challenge like I have wanted to, but a lot has gone on in the last few days. My hubby ended up being asked to go out of state for work again and this time to Little Rock, Arkansas for a week and a half. :( I was excited because that's only about a 7 and a half hours drive from here so I was going to load up Rowdy on Friday and go. Well, yesterday I discovered that Rowdy has worms so I had to take him to the vet and he was treated, got his first shots, and ended up with ear mites as well. So very sad day for Rowdy and now I can't go to see hubby in Arkansas. I am looking forward to going out to dinner with my old roommates when I was at A&M tonight and my sister is coming to see me. At least Quade will be back next Friday instead of another 3 week trip.

Day 7: Favorite Vacation

NASHVILLE!!!

I fell in love with this town the first time my parents took me! Since then we've been back many more times. Here's my favorite things to do in Nashville!

Country Music Hall of Fame

Ryman Auditorium

 

Gaylord Opryland Resort and Hotel..Best hotel in town!!

Just look at the inside!
And you have to go at Christmas time.....

Day 8: Friends

I guess the same goes for everyone when I say that I've had friends who have come and gone. Some have even come back and we're stronger than before. Below are some of the greatest friends a girl could ask for!!

  

Left to right: Christa, Tricia, Courtney (sister), me, Kayla, Bonnie, and Katie

Tricia and Glenn then Crystal and Mark are father down. Both started out good friends of Quades and now are mine too. They were they ones who invited me to Schlitterbahn when hubby was out of town the first time. :)

Sarah and Kevin are Quade and I's probably closest friends combined. Kevin was his best man and I know Sarah would drop anything to help me or any friend in need. It's always great having other married friends to do things together!!

My friend Alysha is from Canada. We met when we were 13 on a cruise and we've kept contact ever since. I was so grateful she flew to Texas just for my wedding!

Childhood friends still closer than ever. Tricia, Kayla, Lindsey, and I have lost touch and come back together many times, but my wedding showed that we'll always be best friends! :)

Hope I can stay caught up now!

Day 2: About the Blog!

This is only the second day of Katie's 30 day challenge and I am so excited already about how day one went!!

Day 2 is all about YOUR blog!

What is the meaning behind your blog name?

I didn't put a lot of thought into my blog name when I created it. I just wanted it be about my thoughts and life moments so I thought the name fit.

How long have you been blogging for? What made you start blogging?

I've been blogging just over 2 1/2 years. I was going to Texas A&M and I had met my good friend Christa (see her blog here) who had started blogging first. It was because of her I started blogging too and even though I haven't always been consistent, I've loved having something to put my thoughts on so I can look back one day.

What are your favorite things to blog about?

I love to blog about my hubby, my family, and my struggles. I know when I am older, the posts I will look back on the most are the ones during the time my sister was in the hospital for her heart and double lung transplant and my surgeries. Even just over a year later, I am proud of the strength that God has given my sister and I through our trials and it's just growing more and more.

What is the one tip that you would give a new blogger?

Be completely honest about who you are. I don't mean put a lot of personal information on here. I mean be true about what is important to you. I used to think I had to write about the kind of stuff that would attract readers to my blog, but I'm more proud of writing what is special to me. It makes me feel good and that's what counts. :)

See everyone on Day 3!!

Wedding Weekend Recap!
