Jonathan's parents wanted to take us to dinner for his birthday. She mentioned Japanese, so we met them at Daruma in Conyers. Granny, Jason & Carter joined as well! Best of all, Jonathan had no idea. He was so happy to see his family.

The rain was coming down today while I drove home. Then we got a rainbow!

A few rain drops = hell on the Connector.

Let's pull it together for the ride home, people.

Today felt like this. I'm glad it's almost over.

We're really happy with the yard right now...despite the lack of rain.

Low on inspiration today, on both sites....

The ability to practice self control would be greatly appreciated here....

Busy Saturday | Evil dogs | Around the neck koozie | Flared up allergies

I can't figure out the red eye on this computer. Jonathan is an avid collector of Koozies (not really, but you'd think so), and we got this nifty "necklace" koozie at Bass Pro Shop last night. Yes, date night ended at Bass Pro Shop. Gummy worms for dessert. I woke up with hellacious allergies. Happy Saturday!

Aw, man...you can't really tell that this is a mailbox barely holding itself up...and to make matters worse, the actual box is taped on with duct tape.

This person's family should have no problem coming up with a Christmas gift idea--

July 23

To start, I thought I'd take a photo of my two greatest loves....the third, of course, is Mr. Marley, but he was outside...


Miss Mia isn't feeling so well these days. Her leg is bothering her. We're taking her to the vet first thing Monday morning. We adopted Mia before we got married. She'll be five in November.

Introducing...because I don't already have a lot going on...

I got this idea from my friend Mandy over at However Although thus Several Several who also has However 365, which is her photo blog. I love the idea so much because it kind of allows you to get to know Mandy, her family and friends through photos and her witty little blurbs. I love the idea, and I think it will take some of the pressure off of my bloggers block at Kindredly.

Here's what she said...

" 365 starts now...

Better late than never, I guess.

One of my goals this year is take a photo every single day. I decided to start this blog so I would have somewhere to put those photos. And so I could look back at any time and be reminded of how truly blessed I am.

The rules? I can use any camera I want (iPhone, the amazing Nikon D40x or whatever) just so I take at least one photo of some piece of my life everyday this year. It's January 20th and so far, I've stuck to the plan. They say if you do something for 21 days it becomes a habit, so tomorrow the habit sets in. I wonder what that will feel like? I don't think I've ever had a habit I liked...

Here goes..."

So...here I go with it....I'm following her rules. Hopefully, if you're following Kindredly, you'll follow here...and if you're a new follower here, go check out Kindredly. I'm real chatty.
