Wordless Wednesday - The Birdie Putt

If...The Andrew Edition

Here are the husband's answers. I didn't even have to beg. You'll see he was a real smarty pants on some questions. Others he really thought about.



•If Elaina were to get pregnant...I'd know my boys could swim.

•If I could have any job in the world…I'd be Eric Clapton's guitar tech.

•If I could get married all over again...It wouldn't be in Newport.

•If I could live anywhere in the U.S...I'd live in Sea Island, Georgia.

•If I could have any talent in the world…I'd be a professional golfer.


•If you met me in real life...I don't know anyone who doesn't know me in real life. I don't have fake friends on blogs. (Don't worry I don't think your fake.)

•If I went back to school...I'd hate it as much as I did the last time.

•If money were not an object...I'd own one of everything.

•If I could meet one celebrity...There's really no one I'd like to meet that bad.

•If I could shop at only one store for the rest of my life...Got to be Wal-Mart Super Center or I'll starve to death.

If......The Elaina Edition

I saw this over on Katie's blog and thought it would be fun. Hoping I can sweet talk the hubs into doing his edition. :)




•If I were to get pregnant...I would be very excited!

•If I could have any job in the world…I love my job. It is what God has called me to do in this world. But I would love to be a professional photographer/scrapbooker.

•If I had a day to myself...I would scrapbook all morning, shop all afternoon, and read all night.

•If I could get married all over again...I'd marry my sweetie all over again in a heartbeat. Though I'd pick a different dress and a different venue this time. Something fun and a little crazy.

•If I could live anywhere in the U.S...I like living in Arkansas, but I would love a new house on a bigger piece of land.

•If I were to have more children...I would consider each and every one of them a blessing from God.

•If I could have any talent in the world…I wish I could sing.

•If you met me in real life...You would see that I'm a quiet girl.

•If I went back to school...I would get my masters and become a reading specialist.

•If money were not an object...We would already be out of this house and into our dream home.

•If I could meet one celebrity...Reese Witherspoon. She's pretty and I wonder if she is as nice in real life as she is in my head.


•If I could shop at only one store for the rest of my life...Target...They have everything a girl could need.

•If I could choose an animal/pet...My babies of course. Lib & Liam

•If I had to choose between a house cleaner and personal chef...House cleaner! Hands down!

•If I had the option to get plastic surgery…I wouldn't.

Be Okay!

Have you seen this commercial? It always makes me smile.

Who Opened the Flood Gates?

I'm not really sure to how to begin this post or even where I'm going with this post. Honestly, I'm not even sure if I'll hit publish when I'm finished. There are things I just feel like I need to write out. I figure it's my blog and I'll cry if I want to. Right?

Do you ever have days where it seems like every little thing makes you cry? You can't seem to keep it together for more than a few minutes before losing it all over again?

That's been me the past couple of days.

I have really been struggling with something personal lately. It's one of those things that I keep telling myself is crazy, but I can't make myself believe that. I don't want to talk about it to anyone because I know people will respond in one of two ways. They will either tell me I'm wrong and give me compliments because that's what you do in a situation like this or they will laugh and say I'm crazy for thinking that way.

I've only shared about this issue twice - once with my husband and once with a coworker. I got the two reactions above. I don't really blame my husband. He's a guy and I guess you could say this is a girl thing. But my coworker's reaction really hurt my feelings and pretty much reassured that I didn't need to share this with anyone else ever again.

So I feel like it's just me and this situation and I'm losing. Not fun. Last night something triggered the thought and I just lost it. I cried all night. And I'm talking the snot running out your nose, face all red and blotchy, can't catch your breath kind of crying.

I went to work today only to be greeted by a concerned parent who wanted to tell me everything I was doing as a teacher was wrong. Please don't go bashing this parent. She really was just concerned for her student. She wasn't nasty or anything like that. I believe she genuinely felt bad for what she was saying. Her child isn't your average student. I just couldn't take it today. It was all I could do to maintain professionalism and not cry. I pray that other teachers would never have to endure the type of meeting I had today. It was painful.

Today's goal quickly became to make it through the day without crying in front of my students. Thankfully God has blessed me with a great boss and some of the best coworkers in the world.

I just feel like someone has opened the flood gates. I can't seem to stop crying, which is frustrating.

Hoping to dance out my stress and worry and tears tonight during two hours of Zumba!

Wordless Wednesday

Miscellany Monday

Because I can't put together a real post...



1. Tonight was the season premier of The Sing Off. It's one of the few reality shows that gets me hooked.

It's a singing competition for a Capella groups. I got hooked last year. This is the third season for the show. My brother and I were texting back and forth throughout the show. I think it's probably one of the only shows that we both watch. :) It's normally a competition between us because we never like the same group.


2. Late last night the husband was making a snack. He decided to have a tuna sandwich. He puts the tuna in bowl and gets out the dill relish to mix in. The relish apparently got stuck so he was shaking it the way you would a ketchup bottle. Then I heard it. The big boom! The kitchen was covered in relish. My husband was covered in green gunk. My white kitchen cabinets were now green. And all I could do was laugh! After all that our mayo had gone bad so he didn't even get his tuna sandwich.

3. I'm loving my hogs this year! They are 3-0 right now. Yay! Of course they haven't played a real team yet. This weekend will be the true test. We are playing Bama on the road. My house is all decked out for the season. I have my razorback coasters out, my September canvas with a hog on it, and my new sign on my front door. My sweet friend, Jennifer, painted it for me. She did a fabulous job.

4. The husband and I went on a date Saturday night. We went to the movies to see Seven Days in Utopia. It was a good movie. I would definitely recommend it. I wasn't a fan of the ending. I don't like to be left hanging. :)
