Backyard Fun

Today, Dickson and I spent some time outside together.  In the mornings when we first get up, he will usually go outside for 10-15 minutes which gives me time to make the bed without him chasing me and the pillows around the room.  The longest I have ever gotten him to stay outside is about 20 minutes...however, he usually likes for us to stay a few seconds and then we will go play by himself.  Usually during the day he will sleep and sleep and sleep some more. NOT today though!!  We went out at least 4 times this morning together so he would "hopefully" run some energy off.  He did lay down for a little bit while I took a shower and got ready for the day.  Then I had a retirement party to go to...Gini, my parents best friend and the mom of some of my good friends...she also helped us with our loan for our house.  So glad we got that done before she retired from the bank. Anyways...after that I ran to the mall to grab a few things.  When I got home Dickson was just as crazy as before I left.  So we went out several more times this afternoon and evening.  My parents came over so my dad could help Michael move a small sleeper love seat into the office. Dickson ran and played more with them.  He really is lOVING his new backyard....now only if the grass was a little shorter (hint hint Michael ha)!!!

Isn't he precious?!?



Summer Days

Summer days...oh how I lOVE them!!  Today I got up and did a few things around the house and then around noon I headed over to my parents to lay out by the pool all afternoon. (At least till I had to get ready for class.)  It was a little cloudy, but it was still hot and I got a little pink so I call it a successful day!!

I have a couple of families that are on my mind tonight as they are having services tomorrow for family members who have gone to dance with Jesus. I pray that they are all at peace and feel the lOVE and comfort from their family members, friends, and community.

Meggie....

So this is a little post about one of my best friends in the whole world....MEGGIE!!!  I am linking up with Kelly's Korner for her Show Us Your Singles!!  Meggie and I met in college at the University of Arkansas.  We were both members of Alpha Delta Pi.  We quickly became really good friends.  Meggie has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I have ever known.  She is fun and outgoing.  A fabulous advice giver and a wonderful listener.  She has your back whenever you need her!!  She is originally from Houston, TX but now lives in Dallas, TX.  She is 25...almost 26.  Meggie has an Apparel Studies degree and is working as an Assistant Buyer for JC Pennys.  She enjoys playing soccer, running, and Top Golf.  Meggie loves a good baseball game and of course SEC football!!!  She is involved in the junior high youth ministry at her church. There really are not enough words for me to describe how awesome of a person she is, but if you think you might want to have a chance to know her a little better leave a comment!!

Dickson's Life

So pretty much all our little lovebug does is SLEEP!! He sleeps ALL DAY long!!  I have never really spent all day long at home with him because I was always either in class or at work.  The first few days I would tap him every once and awhile to make sure he was still alive.

Sleeping in his favorite spot..on the couch pillows...

Sticking his little tounge out...

Sleeping in the bed...

Oh look he does stay awake for a little part of the day...watching me do homework

Oh I just lOVE this little guy!! He isn't spoiled one bit haha!!
