Oldness

This weekend was the hubs 10 year reunion. Nothing like a reminder that your days of youth are gone....

But at least he's still cute.

A Few of My Favs

I'm Back

I had a mild case of depression yesterday leaving the family, but a little yoga, hubs and lulu helped put a smile back on my face. (not in that order)

I have some great pictures I can't wait to share but in the meantime you should whip up one of these lovelys.

Rum and Pink Lemonade.

This just so happened to be the drink special at the buoy bar last weekend. So simple, yet sooo delicious. I had about 22 of these sitting by the pool with the sun beating down on my face, a cool ocean breeze and my favorite girls by my side. Trashy mags, ipods, gossip and

I. WAS. IN. HEAVEN.

This will be my go to drink for the summer and remind me of my favs.

A Message brought to you by Cameron Brooke

Oh, hello there.

My Aunt Brooke is currently flying down to see me get Baptized. My Mom chose her as my Godmother, so she is really going to have to step up her game and come down here more often to spoil me rotten. I'm excited to have her feed me oatmeal (since it's my new fav) and give her a test run of what it's like to have a 'me'. Don't worry, I will make make her work for it. I plan to make it as real as possible, crying, pooing, and spitting out food. She's gonna love it! I'm sure she will post some pics when she gets back. How could you not take a ton of pictures with a face like this?

XOXO, Cameron Brooke

What I'm Listening To..

I know I'm going to lose MAJOR cool points here....

but currently I'm listening to this...

You may need to see the movie too. Just sayin.

I like to tell myself I love Nicholas Sparks so much because every story is set in the South. On the big screen I get to see the mossy oak trees, salty marshes, and the vast beaches I love so much. Hearing the crickets and seeing the afternoon sun makes me feel like I'm home again. So if Miley Cyrus is sticking her bottom lip out and scrunching her eyes to play a troubled teen, so be it.

At least that's how I justify it in my mind, even if I did think it was a really good movie.

My Tree

Isn't she pretty?

Her cherry blossoms came last year and knocked my socks off. I waited again this year with baited breath and here she is. She doesn't stay for long though, probably because she knows I wouldn't appreciate her half as much if I saw her beauty everyday.

For now, I'm cherishing every blossom.

Dear Dad,

I just wanted to let you know, I made it up to heaven okay. I know you are worried about me but life is good, my legs work like new up here and the big man said he has a new best friend.

I just wanted to thank you for the great life you provided for me. All of our early morning and late night walks, sneaking me scraps under the table, wiping my drool when I got a little too close to your food and the cookies you gave me after I ran out and got the morning paper. I know you loved me every day, and I loved you right back.

Grandma Cora is making me her homemade sauce, so I gotta run. Don't be sad, just look back at the great times we had with a smile on your face, like I'm doing right now. I know we will miss seeing each other everyday but I will be waiting for you up here with Brian and Grandma. Let's be thankful for the time God let us have together. Thanks for being such a great dad.

Love always,

Cody
