{Yup..that's the title I came up with..how cliche!}

This is a random post...but do enjoy!

Thursday, February 14, 2013 :: Valentine's Day & Our 11 year Dating Anniversary

{Then & Now}



Got these beauties from the husband! Conversation went a little something like this:
Me: "Awww I loooove these!! I'm pretty sure these are my favorite flowers these days..I guess you've actually been listening?!"
J: "Oh...no..I just thought they were cool looking!"
...Typical! :)



Headed to ATL, ate our celebratory dinner at..wait for it...Woody's Famous Cheesesteaks! Nope, no five star gourmet meal here. We were excited ALL day to be able to eat one of these for dinner. Very US. Cheesesteaks and shakes..Mmm! Do eat here if you're in Atlanta :)



Slept at brotha Bill's to hang out and let Baby E spend time with her Uncle!

Friday :: Headed for Memphis. Stopped in Birmingham to have lunch with Brian and Carly..Baby E's first time meeting them..yay!! Hadn't seen them since last June! Loved picking right back up where we left off ;) Although, it helps being able to talk to her on the phone just about every day!

Drove from Georgia, through Alabama, Mississippi {under a beautiful sky where the sunset hit the clouds in just the right way}, and then into Tennessee.

Spent some of my time as one squished momma.


Arrived at Auntie M's! Her & Trey's new place was beautiful, on Mud Island, adjacent to the Mississippi River. {Yes I still say, M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I in my head when typing that out}.



And me, well I love the lighting in their new place! As Trey said, he wishes he could bottle some of it up and send it home with me. Oh, the pictures I would get at home if I had their lighting! Okay, let's get back on track...


Check out their view...you can see some of the river on the far right side. Beauty :)




We spent the weekend eating, exploring, eating, spending time, eating, drinking, seeing snow flurries, and well, eating. I'm pretty sure that's what we do best.

Our weekend in pictures, in no particular order:






Twins..?!











And perhaps one of the coolest things about Memphis...


For some reason, they are always cheering for our pup, Grizz :) They must really love him.

It was a wonderful weekend walkin' in Memphis and getting the chance to see everyone that we did! Thank you for your WONDERFUL hospitality!! :) Family is the best! {Excited to see more fam tomorrow/this weekend..woohoo!} & tryinggg to plan a trip with sister's fam to visit Mom & GG..?!

Oh yes, and then we came home and decided to try out this baby carrier as opposed to the Mobi wrap I've been using..

We thought baby girl liked it. But we weren't too sure.

Looks here like she's saying something along the lines of 'um, this is cool and all, but it kinda gets in the way of chewing my fingers, people!"


But then, I noticed how she reallly felt about the carrier..


Oh well! I'll stick with the Mobi :)
