My Favorite Baby

This past weekend I got to spend some time with my favorite baby, Elizabeth. This is my cousin Ashley's little girl. She's a doll! Until I have a baby of my own (light years from now), this is my #1 all-time favorite infant. I had so much fun making her laugh, and I love her expressions!



How adorable is that face!?

I Love Fall!

Here are some pics of the homefront with my fall decor. I love everything about this time of year! Except for the inevitable allergy cold that I have right now...











































I love the smells, the colors, Halloween!! and the fact that Thanksgiving is coming up soon. After all, it's quite possibly the most awesome holiday of all. Think about it (oh, here comes a deep thought). Seriously, Thanksgiving is absolutely wonderful. You have a couple of days off work. You eat the most delicious food in the world with the people you love the most. There's no stress or fuss over presents. You don't feel obligated to do anything but be thankful for all you have. There's a great parade on TV and plenty of exciting football to watch, too. It's pure relaxation. And, it jumpstarts the official Christmas season. Which means, Christmas Vacation must be watched the day after Thanksgiving- and the holiday decorating may begin.

Ok, maybe the Musinex is getting to my head because I'm already dreaming of turkey & dressing. Anyway, the point is: Fall is awesome and I LOVE IT!

The Fab 5

These are my best wine-drinkin', heart-to-heart talkin' friends. I love these girls....












This is us tailgating at the Little Rock Razorback game earlier this month. I can't wait until the November game when we throw a tailgate party in honor of Joanna's birthday! Now I have an excuse to use my finest Razorback serving platters and tailgate accessories. It'll be awesome...

Home Sick

Talk about miserable. I'm home sick from work today. I feel so yucky!
I have a cold, sinus, throat, fever thing going on. So, I have absolutely no energy whatsoever.
I left the office at noon yesterday and have spent my time in either the bed or on the couch. It's a total bummer. When breathing is hard, all you want to do is sleep.
It's driving me crazy to be away from the office with all the projects that are going on. So, I'm also checking email like every 30 minutes.

Anyway, back to my kleenexes. Maybe I'll do some more updates to the blog today since I'm sitting here all alone and sickly.

101 Days

What a landmark. I realized, by looking on my Facebook page today, that Keith and I have been married for 101 days. Yippeee! So far, so good with minimal fighting. Who ever said the first year of marriage is the hardest is just plum wrong. It's a blast!

Also, side note: Thank you, Facebook, for keeping me informed on these important things.

I'm a Home Owner!

Gee Willakers. I own a house. Yep, me, Ken. That's right. At my ripe young age, I own a house. I just signed the papers tonight. Even though we have been living here at this fine establishment for a couple of months, we are just now "officially" becoming the owners. See, we know the builder so we got to live here scotch free for a while.
Anyway, since my sweet hubby is a student, the grown-up fiscal responsibility falls on me...........scary!
So, after 50+ signatures of "Mary Kendall Jones", I now have a mortgage.

Welcome to adulthood, right?
