Happy Father's Day








Yesterday, was Father's Day and although I wasn't able to see my dad, I was definitely thinking about him. He is such an amazing role model. I have always been very close to him and everyone tells me I take after him. He is very driven and is always there to give me guidence...whether I like what he has to say or not :P. Whether I am having a bad day or a great day, he is always the first person I want to call (besides Cody of course). Whenever I am stressed out, even if he doesn't have the answers, his words of wisdom somehow comfort me and give me the strength to just keep pushing. I have always looked up to him. He was my coach in sports, my cheerleader, my mentor. I am very proud to call him my dad. I am so happy for him in all he has accomplished and is living proof that hard work, dedication, and honesty really do pay off. He is not only a great dad, but my best friend and a amazing grandpa!






I Love You Dad!

Wishful Wednesday

Alrighty...

My friend Kelsey has a WONDERFUL blog...way more interesting than mine, and every Wednesday she has a wishful Wednesday Topic...I decided to play along this week.
This week's topic is which SATC character would you be and why?

I would most definitely be Charlotte...

I have always been told I would be Charlotte if I was one of them...I adore her! One of the things I love most about Charlotte is her passion. She is passionate about everything. She is a great friend and married the sweetest man even though it took her awhile to realize he was the one. She just has that innocence about her. One of my favorite scenes from the first movie is when she gets sick in Mexico. Cracks me up every time! I also loved how she stuck up for Carrie when Big broke her heart! That is a true friend right there!

Now, I need to go see the 2nd one so I can come up with some more reasons why I absolutely would be Charlotte!!

Happy Wednesday!

Long Weekends

Having a long weekend was SOOO nice and very much needed! I am lucky enough to work for a place that gave us both Friday AND Monday off so I got 4 days off in a row! It has been awhile since I have had a day off work so it was nice!

On Friday, I decided to head up to Birmingham to go to the outlet mall there for some new workout clothes...It was a long drive but I had nothing else to do while everyone else was working! So, after the gym and tanning, I grabbed Mia and we headed for a mini road trip. The weather was HORRIBLE! Pouring down rain the whole time...pretty much stayed that way until about yesterday around 5 too! After the shopping trip I went downtown to meet up with Cody and some friends for dinner and a concert at the Moore Theatre. I have never been in there before and it was absolutely gorgeous! It is a great place to have a concert! We saw the John Butler Trio..and they put on a good show!

Because Saturday was gloomy weather as well, Cody and I decided to do a little reorganizing of the closets after the gym. We ended up bagging up 5 bags of clothes to take to a consignment shop and to good will!! We got rid of so much junk!!! I didn't even think we had that much stuff but MAN..it felt good! I love the feeling of being totally organized! That night we went to church and it was very much needed for me! I felt like the pastor was speaking directly to me! It was a great message and I am so happy we decided to not be lazy and skip!! We rented a few movies that night as well...honestly, I can't remember the names of the 2 action packed ones Cody got but I got Dear John and still need to watch it!

Sunday was a day for shopping around...we went to the mall and shopped BUT managed to not buy a single thing! We were looking for stuff for Cody so I wasn't really in the mood to look for me (weird I know). It was nice just getting out of the house and roaming around though!

And finally, Monday...went to the gym at 9am because that is the only time they had a class that day. Then, the whole day was spent doing ABSOLUTELY nothing...Cody played his xbox which he hasn't done in forever and I read my kindle...ALL DAY! I am almost done with a book I started forever ago but stopped reading so I decided to start from the beginning. I am about 20 pages to the end and can't wait to read another one! I have a list of books I want to read..I am also in the middle of "Love the one Your With" and really want to read "Roses" and "The art of running in the rain"...hopefully this week I can get to those ones!

Well, it was a pretty boring weekend but I think I needed it. Having a low key weekend was the medicine I needed and today I feel totally refreshed and ready to work!

One more thing before I end...Last week was my Grandma Idler's birthday so I want to wish her a Happy Birthday..she was lucky enough to spend it in Vegas!

And, today is my Grandma Wirtzberger's birthday so Happy Birthday to you too!

Love you both!!

Happy June Everyone!!
