Lindsey's lingerie shower

so, this weekend was lindsey's lingerie shower...we had so much fun! it's so nice to get away and not have to worry about anything. and sadly i think all of us have seen the older you get the more difficult it is to get everyone together. amy and i went down friday night to help lane get everything ready for the girls the next morning...lindsey opened up all her lingerie...watch out shaffer ;-) and we played some shower games and then it was lake time! this weekend was much needed by all of us.

(side note) saturday morning i went out on the pier after i woke up for some quite time...all i could think about was how incredibly blessed i am to have such amazing friends. it's crazy to think that most of us have been best friends for over ten years!!!!!!! these girls have been there for me during good times and bad...laughter and tears. and i honestly couldn't ask for anything more. i love ya'll!!!!!

this week:

sorry it has been a while since i have posted!!!!! i have been sick with strep...i thought that was suppose to stop after middle school or high school years... apparently not. anyways...not much has been going on just thought i would post a couple pictures from the 4th of sweet matthew, my boss's dog scout, my dog willie, and my best friend amy's sweet corgy puppy...his name is bubba :)

we were at a friend chris's (amy's boyfriend) and he and his brother have 2 big labs and they had a kiddy pool they were playing in...bubba wanted in sooo bad but his paws won't reach over the side...well he kept trying and finally fell in. he's adorable!

and here is sweet matthew :)

happy 4th!!!!!

hey guys! hope everyone is having a good last day of work for the week :) yayyy for long weekends! i can't wait. i'm not doing much for the holiday..im house/dog sitting for my boss while she's in boston with her family and doing the regular holiday stuff...pool, cook outs and watching the fireworks at vulcan!

as most of ya'll know i go to church of the highlands and absolutely LOVE IT! and i must say...they put on a pretty amazing fireworks show last night. it was a usual wednesday night service...except that it took us an hour to get to church...the sancuary was closed becaused it was full and there were about 5,000 more people there than normal. it was crazy. i know, i know...the extra 5,000 were there maybe to see the fireworks with their kids and the free food and drinks.... there were even people setting up blankets on the hill behind the car dealership off of 459! but hopefully all the visitors got to see a tiny glimpse at what God is doing in that church..and wow is He is doing some pretty amazing things!!!! i'll leave you with a couple of pictures from last night...i am missing one pic and a video that never got sent to my e-mail (i had to send them because im writing this from my work computer) but i will post those later. HAVE A FUN, SAFE HOLIDAY :) love ya'll!!!!

ps: sorry for not being able to post comments back. i have no clue how to work the whole blog thing but my dear friend magen is going to give me some blogging 101 :)
