<div class="separator" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">What they don't tell you as a kid is that sometimes you have to work on your Birthday when you grow up. This is what the 30-somethings chapter holds. Ugh! So, I took a half day just in spite of the fact that I was NOT going to work the entire day. :) However, this Birthday was special because of my amazing husband. Billy is always sure to go out of his way to make my day spectacular. We spent the morning together and then off to work we went. When Friday rolled around our plan was to celebrate (more)...which means shopping, of course! I was told I could buy anything I wanted that day. Dangerous, right? Here is one of my new favorite things we picked up while shopping...</span></div><div class="separator" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

I truly love this time of year but sure do wish it would sloooow down. It seems like yesterday I was in NYC and Christmas was still weeks away. I miss NYC already! I’m technically “half yankee” so I have the city crave in my blood stream. Thankfully, I married a handsome southern gentleman, a good ole’ Georgia boy, who despite his southern roots has a big love for the city as well. We celebrated our 2nd anniversary touring New York City with friends. The weather was (very) cold, the company was great and the days full of activities were a blast. </span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none;

Shortly after we enjoyed Thanksgiving and had a 17 hour day of black Friday shopping things went south. My Dad ended up in the hospital AND my brother is in Italy with mono and is in need of surgery but they cannot operate until he gets well. I'm thankful it is nothing too serious but it sure has been a wild weekend. The saying, "when it rains, it pours" comes to mind. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a matter of hours, Billy & I begin our vacation and I have not even packed one thing. This is maddening to the organization/planner in me! So, with everything going on I have no time to do all the posts I had planned. I want to leave you with our photo session from a couple weeks ago. My friend, Kaci, took these for us and we had the best time hanging out together in the park. Go to her <a href="http://kathrynbrownphotography.blogspot.com/">blog</a> to see the rest of our session or visit <a href="http://www.lifetimestudio.net/index2.php?v=v1">Kathryn Brown Photography</a> for more information on her photography.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I really enjoy keeping busy when there is a big event or trip to look forward too. Billy and I have a lot of exciting things around the bend so I welcome this busy month. This past weekend was a lot of fun. Saturday morning I joined a lot of great girls at <a href="http://pinkcoffeephoto.com/blog/">Lyndsay’s</a> baby shower. It was so fun to see her (one the most adorable pregnant girls ever) and see all the goodies for baby A. I can’t wait to meet him and know he’ll be one cool baby if he’s even half as cool as his parents. :)</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another family friend invited us to their country club fall western wear party. When I first received the invitation I was really excited to attend but became overwhelmingly nervous about the attire. I definitely don’t have a closet full of plaid shirts and cowgirl garb. Luckily, last fall season I had a splurge spend on a pair of cute Justin cowgirl boots – vintage wash of course. So, I ran into Old Navy and purchased a white top and sported my jean jacket and accessorized appropriately. It was so much fun watching (yes, <em>watching</em> as I am definitely the least coordinated line dancer, ever) everyone two-step. My mom impressed me with her moves while Pops and I enjoyed watching and singing along to country’s greatest hits. Unfortunately for me, my most handsome husband had to work that night but it was great quality time with the parents and friends. We laughed, partook in good southern BBQ and had a blast! I hope this becomes an annual event because I’ll be looking for another invitation come next Fall (hint, hint Beasley’s).</span> :-) </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Billy, Oliver and I had the best time with our trick-or-treaters this past weekend. The kids were just too cute in their costumes. My favorite was a baby dressed in his Mickey Mouse costume. What a doll! We actually ran out of candy and had to hide just past 8:00! Last year we ran out of candy too - I've finally <u>learned my lesson</u>. MUST BUY MORE CANDY. :) I thought 3 large bags of candy was plenty, guess not. </span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We ended up not "torturing" Oliver as much as I had <a href="http://trendyinkdesigns.blogspot.com/2010/10/torture-pup-or-notthat-is-real-question.html">hoped</a>. Oliver sported his Army tee given to him from his Aunt Oana. He "said" he wanted to be <a href="http://trendyinkdesigns.blogspot.com/2010/04/update-from-afghanistan.html">Uncle Jordan</a> for Halloween, ha! He had lots of fun hanging out barking at all the trick-or-treaters. He wanted to come out and play soo badly. Can you imagine the looks mommies would have given me if <em>my baby</em> was jumping on theirs!? Not good. </span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">I'm in Christmas preparation full swing. Already have gifts purchased and keeping my eye out for my hot items to go on sale - maybe black Friday will have a few goodies for us this year? I enjoy the hunt. Anyway, don't forget about the <a href="http://trendyinkdesigns.blogspot.com/2010/10/its-that-time.html">Christmas tags</a>. I filled lots of orders last night and have ordered many <a href="http://trendyinkdesigns.blogspot.com/2010/05/envelope-love-update.html">stamps</a>.

To dress Oliver up, or not is the question. We cannot agree. I've never dressed up a dog or any animal before so I’m definitely a rookie. We have been to Target, Wal-mart, Petco; you name it looking at costumes. At some point I thought this would be a fun idea (obviously, not for Oliver) to have him dressed up greeting the kiddos when we hand out candy. Wouldn't he be adorable as a pumpkin or bumble bee!? Here are a few I really like. Billy says, there is no way our boy is going to wear a Bee costume... </span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In other news, the weeks continue to fly by! I cannot believe that next week is November.

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love helping to set the tone for an event through design.

What the birthday boy wants, he gets! </span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />

I'm of the mindset that you can never have too many jackets. Attending college in Virginia aided to this theory. Now, living in FL I regretfully do not get to wear them as often as I would hope. However, In preparation for the cooler weather AND my upcoming NYC trip I thought it would be appropriate to purchase a new jacket. </span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, I went online for the hunt. I spotted this jacket...the bold buttons and ribbed knit collar and cuffs had me at first glance! Since my jacket wardrobe <em>needed</em> a new updated member...I ordered it. The jacket arrived Friday afternoon. Hello, Double Breasted Wool Bomber! I think it's a great addition and can't wait to wear it with my new black boots. </span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />

Billy and I decided it was way pass due to car shop. <strike>We</strike> I wanted/needed to get rid of the Honda I was driving. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let me rewind…</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before I dated my sweet and amazing husband, I dated a bozo. I’m allowed to be frank on here, right?! Looking back I’m not quite sure where my head was but I was definitely dating a guy that was wrong for me in every way. In that relationship he had convinced me that I should get rid of my beautiful white BMW because he wanted to get married and was thinking ahead about finances. To make a really long and sour story short, I traded in my pretty little BMW for a nice sensible Honda Accord. A week later, that “soon to be proposal” and future with him were gone – he broke up with me. I was stuck driving a Honda. (Insert lesson learned here: Ladies, I don’t care how great that guy is, don’t do anything stupid like I did until after you get married). </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was mad – really mad. Here I was with this “family sedan” and there was no future of a family. However, the Honda was a very good car and gave me four years of safe travels. The best part, I didn’t end up with that guy…just the car. It could’ve been worse! :)</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fast forward to today, four years later (to the week) and I still was a little bitter towards the Honda. It was not the cars fault but the memory every now and then that would remind me of why I was driving that car. I would never have chosen a Honda Accord on my own and that memory taunted me in various moments throughout the past four years. Here I was married to the perfect man God blessed me with and I had this lingering connection to the past I couldn’t seem to cut.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Until…</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The day finally came this week and I am back in a BMW. It’s always been my favorite car and anyone who knows me realizes that since I’ve owned 3. I’m journaling my story so I can wipe my hands clean and finally leave that memory in the past. I know this story may sound silly but if you’ve been in a similar situation, you get it. So, here’s to old reminders going away AND to a <em>wonderful</em> husband who gets me…puts up with me…loves me with his whole heart…and takes me to pick out that car I’ve missed. I may love my new BMW but I <em>really</em> love Mr. Bird sooo much more.</span> </div> <br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Disclaimer:</span> <br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">****Please note that I think Honda Accords are wonderful cars and if you drive one this is not to offend you. It just wasn't for me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Thanks and have a nice day. :) ****</span>Trendy Ink Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07710890990436251722noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1647732484771958501.post-44692579537717949052010-09-23T17:11:00.000-04:002010-09-23T17:11:49.664-04:00Your Personal Soldier is now available!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZp78zQroGdtl4brolVYWb2zbLwbj6rNpDKtkXkmr7LaA59O8K6XlMbH9zoZ0muVSkPNqL3Bgv4H7ftxlD1OhD9sOAfn910HnhqraBSoTUua7_D-DB56iqmCoBCLW-_O9UyfSYOUZWAXw/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZp78zQroGdtl4brolVYWb2zbLwbj6rNpDKtkXkmr7LaA59O8K6XlMbH9zoZ0muVSkPNqL3Bgv4H7ftxlD1OhD9sOAfn910HnhqraBSoTUua7_D-DB56iqmCoBCLW-_O9UyfSYOUZWAXw/s640/photo.JPG" width="424" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Two years of hard work have paid off, my Mom is a published author!
