I'm getting PIMPED!

Don't worry I haven't decided to change my lifestyle...I am just really excited that my blog won't be boring anymore! I am on a waiting list (yes she is THAT popular) to get my blog redesigned by Jennisa. When she is done she puts a link on your blog that says " I just got pimped by Jennisa's Bloggie Designs." My blog will look just as cute as Christie and Margaret's soon. The world of blogging just continues to amaze me!

No problem...We Stayed in a Holiday Inn Express Last Night

This past weekend, I met a bunch of Clemson buddies in Murrell's Inlet for Party at the Point! Mary, Liza, Marshall, and I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express and had a ball. The weekend began with Mary and I trying to steer 10 boxes of tomatoes that Graham and I picked up to our room. P.S. Graham couldn't come...we were very sad. We probably looked like we just beat up a roadside produce salesman because we were quite a sight. We finally made it to our room as you see below...after several attempts and near catastrophes.After Marshall fetched Liza from the airport we jumped in the car and headed to Wahoo's...Kasey and Lee FINALLY made it...

It was so good to see my Liza...she lives way to far away for me to handle...

The next day..Marshall woke us all up at 8:00am. We were told that we would picked up at 10:00 to head to the beach. 10:00 turned into 11:00 and 11:00 turned into 12:00 and soon we were waiting at a private dock feeling like no one would ever come to rescue us! Finally, Hagood and Charlie pull up in their rented, ghetto pontoon boat and we barely get to unpack our junk before this came along....

We tried our hardest to ignore the hurricane coming straight for us but we finally got smart and left the beach and headed for a friend's house. That night, we went to Miyabi for dinner. Mary's birthday was Sunday and mine was Tuesday so they decided to embarrass us with a Japanese drumming spectacle...

After we danced in front of the whole restaurant we headed to Wahoo's to celebrate Mary's birthday at midnight! I miss you girls already...what a FABULOUS weekend!

23= Old Man

It is Graham's birthday today, but since he refuses to add his "two cents" on OUR blog then he will have to settle for me adding my own comments about him! (it's only fair)

Graham has decided that 23 is old. He has been counting down the last month to when he is the depressing age of 23. He says that 22 was perfect...23 is too old.

This brings me back to a time when one of my dearest friends turned 20. She too had a crisis in which she did not like the age she was turning and proceeded to cry and carry on yelling that she was "not a teen statistic anymore!!!!" While she was supposed to be enjoying the company of her friends, going out in Clemson, and eating yummy cake...she was hysterical. I won't name names...but this was a night that we will NEVER forget!

With that said....I for one LOVE my birthday. It is exactly in the middle of the year, middle of the summer, and I will be one of the last ones of my friends to turn the dreaded 30, 40, or 50. Sorry for all you birthday haters, temper-tantrum throwers, and whoa-is-me Grahams out there, all I have to say is YAY for my birthday in 8 days and Happy Birthday Grahamy....I love you so much!

In lieu of our birthdays being so close together...here are a couple pictures from my 21st birthday. He thought he was hot stuff because he had turned 21 8 days earlier..WHOOP DE DO! : )

Wordless Wednesday

Busy Bees

Don't think for a minute that teachers have a relaxing summer off...especially when you have married into a family of tomato farmers! I have been recruited to cook for 20+ people at the tomato packing house. I absolutely LOVE to cook so this is a perfect job for me. It just gets a little hectic and the Publix people know me by name!

We don't get home until late and neither of us feel like cleaning up the house...so for the short break I have before I head back to my favorite grocery store I am blogging and cleaning up.

I am very lucky that I got a chance to go to Florence this past weekend to see my family and attend Skarupa's wedding (friend I grew up with). I got to see all my buddies and had a FABULOUS time at the movies, going out to eat, getting fried by the pool, and crying at the end of the reception with them. At the top is our fabulous picture (I can't figure out how to move the pictures...I wanted it at the bottom!)
