Wee Bit Wednesday



{one} what is your dream job?
My dream job would be to work for myself. I would love to have some sort of retail store.

{two} how many best friends do you have?
I actually have a lot of really close friends. Best friends? I'd say only two, and I talk to them every day.

{three} what's the longest road trip you've ever taken?
In fifth grade, my school took all of us to Washington D.C. in a charter bus. Ummm?? How crazy did these people have to be to take 75 fifth graders on that long of a trip. It was fun, but also miserable. I'm pretty sure the next year my mom paid my brother not to go on the trip after going with me.

{four} if you had to do one thing every day for the next year, what would it be?
Wow. This is a hard one for me, and I came up with the question. I would probably go walk around at the flea market. In reality, it's only open two days per week, but I would love to be able to browse every day. I just love all the cool stuff. It would also be nice if I had money to spend all of these times. Just throwing that in there.

{five} what's one story your family always tells about you?
Ok... I may be embarassing myself and even my family here, but I do love this story. My brother and I are really close in age, and we were in diapers at the same time. One night, my mom was changing us and said she noticed that I was confused about the "difference" between me and Trey. Then I asked, "Why does Trey get a booty stick and I don't?" I absolutely love that story for some reason. Now I'm starting to feel like a creep, so on to the next question.

{six} how did your parents pick your name?
My aunt's name is Jamie Michele, and my mom's name is Mala ReNee'. That's how I became Jamie ReNee'.

{seven} what's one thing that scares you more than anything?
I'm really scared of something happening to someone I care about. That would be the worst thing ever!

{eight} are you a good cook?
I like to think that I am. Most people don't complain about my cooking, but there have been a few things I've made that haven't been good. I am trying to cook a little healthier these days, though.

{nine} where do you see yourself in 20 years?
In 20 years, I'll be 47 years old. WOW!!! At that time, I hope Justin and I are raising our child and getting ready to get him/her out of the house :)

{ten} what's your best childhood memory?
I have a lot of great memories from childhood. If I had to pick just one, I would have to go with playing baseball in the yard. Between ours and our neighbor's house, we had a full fledged baseball field. My dad and one of our neighbor's were high school baseball coaches together, and our other neighbor was the baseball coach at the local community college. Baseball was just what we did, and we had so much fun doing it. Now, don't get me wrong here. I was NOT good by any stretch of the imagination, but I was having fun. They would even give me 4 strikes sometimes if they felt like being nice.

Happy Wednesday, Everyone!!

Happenings!

I have been so bad about posting lately. I'd even dare to say that I have neglected my blog and any readers that I may have. Well, I apologize. This girl has been a little busy lately. I've been to Alabama, Georgia and everywhere around here. Thought I would jump back into my blogging with a little post about what's been happening lately with me!!

1. Planning for Kristin and baby Hudson's shower is moving right along. I finally got the invitations in the mail, along with making some of the decorations. Banner, check. Cupcake Toppers, semi-check. Door wreath, only the concept is a check. This is probably going to be the best one I've done yet. Just so many new ideas, and I want it to be soooo perfect!!

2. Supper Club this month was so much fun. We all just went to eat at Babalu. The food was great, and the company was even better!!!

3. The Viking Classic has been in town, and we've been lucky enough to have Eagle's Nest tickets. Now, this is the life folks! I'm not a huge golf fan, but if I have to be there, a big airconditioned tent with free food and drinks is the way to do it. Thanks for that, Viking!! What am I not thanking Viking for, you may ask?? Well, you know when you go out and walk the course with all those beautiful flowers as scenery? Well, those puppies don't grow themselves, and they certainly don't water and maintain themselves. This is where Justin comes in. Problem? He has to do this at 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning. Whooo Hoo!! That means I get to wake up in the middle of the night to make sure that he is up and off. I know how tired it has made me, so I can't imagine how tired he must be. Thank goodness that's over!!

4. I've gotten my hair cut off!! NO, this is not a dramatic statement. I think it was about 6 inches, and it's a lot darker. I'm getting used to it, but I really like it. Most people seem to like it better too. Even Justin says he thinks he likes it better, which is very surprising to me. I don't have a good picture yet, so I'll give you a preview of the picture I took in to get my hair cut with. Whitney at LaCru did a great job, even though I think she was just as scared to cut it as I was. I'm pretty sure she just didn't want any tears in her chair!! If you're looking for someone to cut or color your hair, you should definitely go see her!!


5. I'm just going to leave you all with this picture from my Mom's Facebook. I can't think of anything cuter in the world that these precious babies taking nap!!
{Myers is just getting so grown up, and please look at Harris's sweet roly poly legs!! I could just eat them up!!}

Happy Tuesday, Everyone!!!!!

God Bless the USA!!



Can I just tell you how much I love being an American. Happy Birthday to the place I've called home my entire life; a nation under and trusting of God; the place that has given me freedom and opportunity and so much more. I also cannot tell  how thankful I am to everyone who has and does serve our country every day. Proud is not even the word!!
