It was so much fun. This was the first year that Ashley Ryan has gotten into it and wanted to help me decorate. She did a really good job. I was so excited. Something I never thought would happen. I am decorating a christmas tree with my daughter. I love it. <br /><br />I always loved putting up the christmas tree. I had parents who let me do it every year and I loved it. Christmas is my favorite holiday. I am so thankful for my little family. I am also thankful for my mom and dad who taught me to love christmas! Love you.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TO9Dgss6MyI/AAAAAAAAAh4/aNDr0--IEp4/s1600/001.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543723895350768418" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TO9Dgss6MyI/AAAAAAAAAh4/aNDr0--IEp4/s320/001.JPG" /></a><br /><div></div>Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06594244005542061700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559062820892164259.post-36994114203879669992010-11-21T20:50:00.000-08:002010-11-21T21:04:52.753-08:00Vacation 2010We went to Gatlinburg again this year. This is Ashley Ryan's 3rd trip and me and David's 1000th trip! To say we love it is an understatement. We had a great time. We shopped, went to Dollywood, ate to much and even went to a football game. We also ran into Santa Claus!!! He was great! He wrote Ashley Ryan's name in the "nice" book and even gave her a christmas ornament with her name on it. She is still talking about Santa. <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TOn34dKQQJI/AAAAAAAAAhw/5M8LqywW134/s1600/088.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542233365728477330" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TOn34dKQQJI/AAAAAAAAAhw/5M8LqywW134/s320/088.JPG" /></a> This is a picture of my cheerleader at the game.

You may have seen some of their products in certain stores around the area. If you have been to my house you have caught of glimpse of their work and just did not know it. I am totally in love with their products. They are based in Marietta, Georgia and they create the cutest things. They are faith based as well so that makes them even better. I am going to show you a few things on their website, but you will need to check it out for yourself. <a href="http://www.gloryhaus.com/">www.gloryhaus.com</a> <br /><br />Their items would make some really cute Christmas gifts and yes it is already that time of year again!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TIj6brg5fSI/AAAAAAAAAeA/LiNmftiMhyo/s1600/fd9607f30091be0322d0dfaf41c66325.image.133x200%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 133px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514933097159294242" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TIj6brg5fSI/AAAAAAAAAeA/LiNmftiMhyo/s320/fd9607f30091be0322d0dfaf41c66325.image.133x200%5B1%5D.jpg" /></a> I have this plate, but mine is painted green.<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TIj6USTAU4I/AAAAAAAAAd4/Raf9L0t3EO0/s1600/32700dbc6c1fc95907e559eeaa44c4bc.image.300x134%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514932970131051394" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TIj6USTAU4I/AAAAAAAAAd4/Raf9L0t3EO0/s320/32700dbc6c1fc95907e559eeaa44c4bc.image.300x134%5B1%5D.jpg" /></a> I also have this great hook board.

When we moved in we had a bed in this room and then someone at my church needed a bed so I gave it away. Since then this room has been the catch-all. I had to always keep the door closed because it was a wreck! Finally David and I decided on a sitting area/man room! I am really pleased with how it turned out. I think it looks really classy.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/THsngoOuUlI/AAAAAAAAAdI/MWDH_y16Qaw/s1600/007.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511042010526405202" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/THsngoOuUlI/AAAAAAAAAdI/MWDH_y16Qaw/s320/007.JPG" /></a> Our friend Tommy came over and installed the TV for us. I think he did a pretty good job.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/THsngMWS91I/AAAAAAAAAdA/YIcuSLWwAlI/s1600/001.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511042003041974098" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/THsngMWS91I/AAAAAAAAAdA/YIcuSLWwAlI/s320/001.JPG" /></a> This picture is pretty dark.

I got a great deal on these two leather arm chairs at Miskellys. David ordered the lamp. I found some cute $9 curtains at Target and framed his poster and there you have it! Below the table sits an autographed football by Deuce McAllister!</div><div> </div><div>I hope you all have a great week!!! I am sure I will be keeping my guest room door opened more often now. <br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06594244005542061700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559062820892164259.post-42883799683858625712010-08-24T20:23:00.000-07:002010-08-24T20:32:15.748-07:00Ashley Ryan Love!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/THSNGZd74GI/AAAAAAAAAco/fgVRzYDaaI4/s1600/084.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509183385236136034" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/THSNGZd74GI/AAAAAAAAAco/fgVRzYDaaI4/s320/084.JPG" /></a> Ashley Ryan found her dress up clothes!

As I mentioned earlier, I am so blessed. God really has given me some good friends. I love to think how he has put certain people in my life for a short period and then to think about the people he puts in your life for the long haul. That's what I can say about Haley. Haley has been my best friend for so long I can't even remember how we met. She has always been there for me. She has loved me unconditionally. I really don't know what I would do without her in my life. She can keep me balanced for sure. What I love about her the most is her honesty. She loves my child and my child surely loves her!</div><br /><div>I am so fortunate to know her! I love you Hales!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06594244005542061700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559062820892164259.post-47084640617778622802010-07-28T12:38:00.000-07:002010-07-28T12:41:35.001-07:00I will Praise You in the storm!I will continue my posts on Best Friends, because lord knows I have some GREAT friends and family. <br /><br />I can not go into any details on the internet and a lot of you know, but we are in the midst of a storm. I have faith and my family and right now that is the most important thing in my life. That is the one thing that NOONE can take away from me. <br /><br />I will praise YOU in the storm. That's all I can do. <br /><br />My prayer today is for peace and strength. I mean the strength that only comes from above.

I am so blessed to have good friends. I don't mean just friends . I mean really, really good friends. Friends that would be by my side in a minute if the need arose. Friends that have laughed with me and cried with me. I have friends that have seen me at my worst and seen me at my best. I am BLESSED.<br /><br />First, I will introduce you to Kim. Kim has been my best friend since at least 5 year old kindergarten. What would I do without her? Growing up we spent countless nights together. We would stay up half the night. We would play in her sister's closet because she had the coolest clothes. Kristy would be ready to kill us!! It did not matter how well we put the clothes back in closet, she always knew when we had been there.<br /><br />Kim and I graduated highschool together and went to church together. Kim has lived in every corner of this country and we have never missed a beat. We are always still best friends. We do not talk everyday. For that matter, we do not talk every week. We talk when we can, but we have the talent of picking up where we left off. She had 4 beautiful kids and a great husband. (Yep, I said 4 kids...)<br /><br />To say that Kim knows me is an understatement. I swear if I ever had a sister, I imagine that she would be Kim. Someone who knows me as well as I know myself. Someone who can be honest with me. (Sometimes I think that we really must be related).<br /><br />Anyway, I love you Kim and I do not know what I would do without you. There is just not enough time in the week to hang out.<br /><br /><div align="center">KIM:</div><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TEC8IwJp2kI/AAAAAAAAAcI/4T7xaq-s_64/s1600/ry%3D400%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 233px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494598403942373954" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TEC8IwJp2kI/AAAAAAAAAcI/4T7xaq-s_64/s320/ry%3D400%5B1%5D.jpg" /></a>Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06594244005542061700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559062820892164259.post-90562743139368836762010-07-05T17:03:00.001-07:002010-07-05T17:09:39.988-07:00ChairI bought this chair over the weekend at one of my favorite places to shop. It did not always look like this. I have posted the before pictures below. I really love the way it turned out. What do you think??? I painted it with some leftover black paint that I had. I ran to Hancocks and bought some fabric and covered the cushion while the paint was drying. It was really fun to do!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TDJzUs6_nQI/AAAAAAAAAcA/acRrL5Io2W4/s1600/006.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490577695211232514" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TDJzUs6_nQI/AAAAAAAAAcA/acRrL5Io2W4/s320/006.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TDJzJkXHmYI/AAAAAAAAAb4/us8pdegDp8A/s1600/006.JPG"></a>Before:<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TDJzJQ_QRKI/AAAAAAAAAbw/llivvt6Ex4c/s1600/004.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490577498734347426" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TDJzJQ_QRKI/AAAAAAAAAbw/llivvt6Ex4c/s320/004.JPG" /></a><br />Another before!

It was GREAT. She really was surprised. I had a lot of people help me pull this off. First, my dad kept a secret!!! My best friend, Kim, made the cake. It was awesome. Her mom made food. My sister-n-law made more food. My aunt helped me with decorations, drinks, cups and food. My mom's good friend, Debbie met me at the church on Wednesday to set up tables. She also met me at the church at 2:30 on Saturday to begin decorating. My mom's other friend, Fran helped me with food as well. I can't leave out Haley and her mom Carla. Haley helped me with the picture board. Her mom pitched in at the last minute on Saturday. My crock pot was not nearly big enough for all the meatballs I needed to cook. I called her and she ran right over and picked them up and graciously took them to her house to cook!!<br /><br />My mom had so many people show up. Her cousin Connie drove in from the coast. One of her friends, Karen came from Philadelphia. Not to mention all the friends she has here who came to make the day very special. It was a great time. The picture above is when she walked in. I have added some more photos. Enjoy.

We bought season passes this year, because trust me, it was cheaper! She has a blast and mommy gets to lay out in the sun. Of course, I can splash if it gets to hot :0)<br /><br />Here are some pics from Saturday at the splash park. I am sure we will be there this weekend. In fact, if we are not home on Saturday or Sunday afternoon, chances are this is where we are!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TCF9m_QAM5I/AAAAAAAAAZw/dnQe4zEkfvU/s1600/008.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485803929881031570" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TCF9m_QAM5I/AAAAAAAAAZw/dnQe4zEkfvU/s320/008.JPG" /></a> <div>Um yeah - she is drinking the water!!!

It served it's purpose in our house for many years. When we built and moved into this house we bought new furniture and this had been pushed to the guest room. For months I have been telling David that I wanted a hutch or buffet for the kitchen. I searched in every store I went in and even looked on line. Everything I wanted was $1200 or more!!! My mom has always accused me of "expensive taste." The other day at work a light bulb went off in my head...I could turn the old armoir into my new expensive piece of furniture...<br /><br />Below is the only before photo I have. This is David taking the doors off. We removed all doors, painted it black and added bead board to the back. My dad came in off the road Wednesday night and cut the bead board for me at 930 one night. He had some left over from another project he had worked on. So, literally, this project cost me $50. That is one can of paint and some brushes. It is decorated with things I already had. <br /><br />I even put in my America decorations for the 4th of July. So, what do you think??? I love it. I am very pleased with how it turned out.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TB7WjmPz3CI/AAAAAAAAAZI/9p_AoLXyZTE/s1600/001.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485057303234468898" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TB7WjmPz3CI/AAAAAAAAAZI/9p_AoLXyZTE/s320/001.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TB7WZOBZq5I/AAAAAAAAAZA/0_gvoVy38Ss/s1600/015.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485057124932889490" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TB7WZOBZq5I/AAAAAAAAAZA/0_gvoVy38Ss/s320/015.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TB7WNNMITkI/AAAAAAAAAY4/dnPxzy6na0I/s1600/017.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485056918551023170" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TB7WNNMITkI/AAAAAAAAAY4/dnPxzy6na0I/s320/017.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06594244005542061700noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559062820892164259.post-77469102324049816032010-06-13T20:24:00.000-07:002010-06-13T20:33:42.610-07:00VBS<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TBWiiLGUkzI/AAAAAAAAAYw/C_3EnP6X-4w/s1600/018.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482466829372003122" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TBWiiLGUkzI/AAAAAAAAAYw/C_3EnP6X-4w/s320/018.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TBWiZX10N7I/AAAAAAAAAYo/0aij7msiRCU/s1600/012.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482466678173611954" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TBWiZX10N7I/AAAAAAAAAYo/0aij7msiRCU/s320/012.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TBWiP2DRzUI/AAAAAAAAAYg/_F8iAPGaVOE/s1600/008.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482466514484448578" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TBWiP2DRzUI/AAAAAAAAAYg/_F8iAPGaVOE/s320/008.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TBWiIiun6NI/AAAAAAAAAYY/2o1_byaOYL4/s1600/009.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482466389038459090" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TBWiIiun6NI/AAAAAAAAAYY/2o1_byaOYL4/s320/009.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TBWiAveTJ7I/AAAAAAAAAYQ/gutaDkzeQ6o/s1600/005.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482466255020697522" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TBWiAveTJ7I/AAAAAAAAAYQ/gutaDkzeQ6o/s320/005.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TBWh4xShLwI/AAAAAAAAAYI/whkwevgHA3c/s1600/006.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482466118069202690" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TBWh4xShLwI/AAAAAAAAAYI/whkwevgHA3c/s320/006.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TBWhyKQ32xI/AAAAAAAAAYA/0YZDYqcDqt8/s1600/004.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482466004514102034" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TBWhyKQ32xI/AAAAAAAAAYA/0YZDYqcDqt8/s320/004.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TBWhmclM3RI/AAAAAAAAAX4/510nT98Xiq4/s1600/001.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482465803272772882" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/TBWhmclM3RI/AAAAAAAAAX4/510nT98Xiq4/s320/001.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div>We had a great time at Vacation Bible School last week!

Ashley Ryan is growing like a weed! She is a busy body. She LOVES to be outside. We stay outside till dark almost every day. It's a great way to wear her down. She sleeps really good at night. We had a great Easter. Easter is one of my favorite holidays. It's right after Christmas in my book. It's not the easter bunny or the dress that I love so much, but the fact that Christ rose again! He's alive and well and I am so thankful. I have alot to be thankful for. Sometimes I feel so undeserving. But, then I realized that we are ALL undeserving of Christ's love. We are unworthy, but that makes his resurrection even better!</div><div></div><br /><div>Here are some pics to show you what we have been up to!</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06594244005542061700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559062820892164259.post-11178214009562555382010-03-07T18:52:00.001-08:002010-03-07T19:02:15.785-08:00Loving this Weather!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/S5RnVtarW-I/AAAAAAAAAVA/SEGoiFSdKrs/s1600-h/005.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446091472064175074" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VJ8oKR5vaG0/S5RnVtarW-I/AAAAAAAAAVA/SEGoiFSdKrs/s320/005.JPG" /></a> This is Ms. Hollywood!
