So Sorry!

It's been 18 stinkin' days since I have updated this blog. The last time I updated, I said that I would was "back" and that'd I'd be blogging more frequently. So sorry that I haven't stayed true to my word!! I've just been a busy little bee! I'm really embarrased though, especially since my blog went out for a "blisit" in the new Locals Magazine a few weeks ago, highlighting my blog and I've been so busy that I've not even taken the time to give new readers anythign to read about! If you haven't found a copy in Meridian, you can visit here (393Mag.com) online and view the new magazine. Check out page pages 14 & 15 for sure, wink wink!!

I will go ahead and tell you that Harper girl makes her first appearance in a local magazine and she thought she was a hit for sure whenever she saw it!

The month of May has FLOWN by! I can't believe that next Tuesday is the first day of June. Since I didn't get to go to Trinidad, I was able to spend mother's day with my sweet mom. She's been working really hard trying to get our deck and backyard looking quite cheery for summer. She wanted all things dealing with the outdoors for her Mother's Day gifts. So, she got a new patio umbrella, two hanging wall planters, and a gift certificate to Plant the Earth to go and get her some plants.

She's made the planters look fabulous!! This one has zinnias and this new-to-me plant called "Creeping Jenny" that I think is so cute and fun! I don't have a picture of the other planter, but it's full of "Mexican Heather." They're both really pretty!

Oh, and this past week... well it's pretty much been all work related. Yesterday we had our Baccalaureate Service. It was really sweet and was so special to me because it was my very first group of graduating seniors in my youth family. I also was called to "PREACH!!!"... okay so not in the big worship service, but last night in the churchwide study we've been doing called 'Externally Focused Life.' I can honestly say that I had a pit in my stomach all day yesterday and was so relieved when 7:00 p.m. arrived last night!

Oh, and last week was filled with some excitement since Casey James on Idol was sent packing and my husband-to-be, Lee Dewyze (yeah, that's never going to happen) and Crystal Bowersox are in the Idol Finale THIS WEEK! Oh, how I squealed with some excitement!! I really do like both of them.. I just really do LOVE Lee!

Abby = just a really cute pair!

Tonight, we're grilling on our brand new grill and staying in for a night of the Dancing with the Stars Finale. This has to be my favorite week of TV all year!!
