Ok, I admit, I got distracted by the insanity that was Game 6 of the World Series and forgot to write a post. So, I’m writing this at 1:00 a.m., so please forgive me if I ramble or if it doesn’t make sense. :)

Since pretty much all I’ve watched this week is baseball and I’m saving my World Series post for after the Rangers win, I’m going to talk about the one non-sports show I watched this week.

Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy is by far my favorite Lifetime movie. It is based on the book by Geralyn Lucas that tells the story of her breast cancer diagnosis in her twenties.

I’ve watched it probably 50 times, but something made me pull it out this week and watch it again. It is such a powerful story. Throughout the movie, Geralyn speaks directly to the viewer, allowing you to really feel as though you are walking with her through her journey and all of the emotions surrounding her diagnosis, using her red lipstick to give her courage. It definitely has it’s lighthearted, funny moments in the middle of the tough stuff. It also stresses the very important need for women to do self-checks and get regular mammograms.

If you haven’t seen it, I definitely recommend it. The book is also on my to-read list!

What’s Ok with you this week? Link up with Neely and Amber!

Hey y’all!

Going through FB pictures the other night, I realized that I never blogged about my weekend in Dallas! I had a wonderful time with my Dallas girls, and it really makes me wish that I lived there and could hang out with them all the time! :)

Friday night, we all went to dinner at Victor Tangos!

Neely and I on our way to dinner!

Of course Lindsey came along! And yes, that would be crab mac & cheese we are eating!

Caitrin, me, Kiley, Neely, Megan, & Laura

The whole dinner bunch minus Michele who was taking the picture. Sad we didn’t get one with ALL of us!

Neely and Michele

I just love her!

Sweet girls!

Michele and me! I was so excited to get to meet her, and I felt like I already knew her! She is super sweet and super fun! I can’t wait for us to hang out again!

There are many more pictures I could post from Friday night, but I’m not so sure they would still be friends with me :)

Saturday, we met up with Amber and watched the A&M and Tech games and did some shopping. Football and shopping are always a good combination!

Saturday night, Neely, Amber, and I went to the State Fair! We had a great time!

Yum-o!

Love these girls!

Waiting in line for a ride. I preferred to keep my feet on the ground!

Ooh, scary!

Amber, I’m sure you’re sick of seeing this picture, but I think it’s so cute! Love you!

Sunday, I had to head back to OKC, but had one last meal with the girls.

Brunch with Amber (Ha!), Kiley, and Neely

Oh girls, it was such a wonderful and much-needed weekend! I had a great time, and I just love y’all to death! I can’t wait for our next weekend together! Laura, you have to be there next time too! :)

Hey y’all!

I’m sharing a few more pictures of the time I got to spend with Jessica and Sweet P! She is just the most precious baby girl, and I’m completely in love!

Friday night, Jessica and I dressed her up in a couple of different outfits and took some pictures. She wasn’t crazy about the mini photo shoot, but when she wasn’t screaming at us, she looked pretty cute!

Finally getting to see those sweet little eyes!

Yep, I think she’s going to be a girly girl!

Wearing one of her new outfits from Aunt Ashley!

So happy!

I loved getting to spend several hours with Jessica and Sweet P for several days! I hate that I miss so much living so far away from them, so I loved getting to spend time with Sweet P during her first few days of life. I miss them already!



…you go to a Halloween party looking like this.

Yeah, that happened.

Last year, shortly after Halloween, I saw a picture Allison posted of her sister dressed as a little pageant girl, and I KNEW that had to be my costume for this year.

Check out that spray tan!

With Mom-mom’s help, we put together a pretty fun costume!

My pageant mom went with me…she was so proud of her baby girl! :)

Pretty impressive bump in my hair too. I don’t think my hair has EVER had that much hairspray!

The whole bunch in costume

Bigfoot was terrorizing everyone!

That look of sheer terror in my momma’s face is priceless!

Lovely father-daughter moment

Troy Polamalu, a bumblebee, Kate Middleton, and Miss Circus City Ultimate Grand Supreme

Her daughter is gonna win!

So sweet!

We had a contest to see who could wrap their partner mummy style in toilet paper. We didn’t win. What Momma didn’t understand was when I said to put the end of the toilet paper in my mouth, I meant in my mouth, not down my throat!

We had a great time, and it was nice to spend some time with my church family back home!

Hey y’all!

I know, I said that now that I quit my job, I’d be back to normal blogging/commenting. Well…that hasn’t really happened so much. There is just something about being home with my family that makes me completely unmotivated to blog or read. I’m going back to OKC today, so hopefully I’ll get back to my regular blogging.

I haven’t had a chance to go through all of the pictures from my time at home, but I will leave you with a little preview of what I’ve been up to!

Crazy kitties

Halloween

Lots of Sweet P snuggles!

I hope to catch up with all of you soon! Also, Neely is hosting her 1000 follower week of giveaways this week! Lots of awesome giveaways coming. Be sure to check them out!



Yeah, I kinda love it.

Wayne is super talented, and Colin and Ryan are just hilarious! I love the goofy games, especially when someone is trying to figure out what “characters” the others are supposed to be. The singing games are really funny too.

Here are a few funny skits!

Three-headed Broadway star is always so fun

Two Line Vocabulary is probably my favorite

Another funny Two Line Vocabulary

Gotta love Greatest Hits!

What shows are you watching this week? Link them up with Neely and me!

Hey y’all!

I’m so excited to finally introduce you all to our precious little Sweet P! She was born on Tuesday, and she is the absolute most precious baby girl I’ve ever seen! It is just amazing how you can love someone so much that you just met. Even though I’ve been there for Jessica’s other two, it is still such an incredible feeling to hold your best friend’s baby in your arms.

Ok, I’m sure the pictures are all you care about, so I’ll get on with them!

Sweet  P hanging out in the nursery! We stared at her through the window for about two hours while she waited to be taken back to her mommy’s room.

Perfect little feet

The most precious little fingers!

Meeting her Aunt Ashley!

My goodness, I just love this precious girl so much! I have prayed for her for a very long time!

Getting Aunt Ashley kisses!

Snuggling with Aunt Cheryl

Isn’t she just so sweet?! Several people have asked about her name. To allow Jessica and her family to keep some anonymity, I will not be publicly sharing her name. She will be known here as Sweet P, which I think is just perfect!



My favorite verse!

Sweet P totally needs these!

Seriously, y’all, Lindsay makes the cutest stuff!

 

What are y’all pinning this week? Link up with Michelle!

Hey y’all!

Saturday night, Momma and I went to see Kellie Pickler in concert!

I’d seen Kellie once before, but this was Momma’s first time to see her. We’ve loved Kellie since her American Idol days, and we were super excited to see her! We had pretty great seats too!

She sang a bunch of great songs!

“Don’t You Know You’re Beautiful” is my favorite!

“I Wonder” & “Best Days of Your Life”

“Rocks Instead of Rice” & “Didn’t You Know How Much I Loved You”

“Makin’ Me Fall In Love Again” & her new single “Tough”

Her encore song was her first single “Red High Heels”! Love it!

She did such a great show!

The Jane Dear Girls opened for her. They were okay.

Not a great picture of it, but I really liked this girl’s sparkly skirt!

What did y’all do this weekend?
