Time with friends

I love spending time with friends, friends from all over!  Whether painting, tailgating, emailing, texting or talking on the phone.  Wait...is that all forms of communication?!!!  I think it is!!

Robin has a guy that he buys chemicals from for work that gives me tickets every year to a Alabama game.  I am very thankful, but a little disgruntled that he will not go with me.  Seriously Robby Rob, you may be an Auburn fan, but you still could go with your wife---fan or no fan! pssssh please, when hell freezes over!!  With that being said I invited my friend Haley, aka Gaw-Gaw to my kids.  We met up with some Selma friends and tailgated a bit before the game.

We also celebrated birthdays in September with these sweet girls.  My Mom came and stepped us through painting a scarecrow door hanger! It was so much fun, we ate and painted!!

I am sorry of the quality, these are iPhone pictures because our camera was locked in our safe for sometime.  Living not at home was a struggle!!!

I love Whitney and Beth!  We stopped from serving pizza to take a picture.

If you know me, you know that I very seldom meet a stranger.  My friends Beth and Haley say that I know everybody.  On a normal day I do not pass a car that I don't know who is driving or wave to and that goes for the jip joint or grocery store. 

Back a few months ago I stumbled across this BLOG.  I have no idea how I found it, but was drawn to it.  I commented on a post and she replied.  I remember I went to visit my sister in Birmingham and told her I wanted to go to Home Depot for a starburst mirror that I saw a girl post about.  Well it was Katie.  I bought the mirror that now hangs over our bed and Lea bought one too that is in her den.  To make a long story short, Katie and I started emailing.  Then started emailing a LOT, then we started texting some, well now we talk on the phone!  A day usually doesn't get bye us that we don't say HEY in some form or fashion.  Our husbands thought it was a little strange to say the least at first, but now they think its kinda normal!  We are so much alike, that it is w.e.i.r.d.  I love this girl and can't wait to meet her in "real life", hopefully after tax and turkey season! Even the husband says yes to a trip to S.C. because we have never been. 

Here she is, maybe next time I post a picture of Katie I will be beside her!!

We are so thankful for all of our friends.  Especially over the last few months.  Things are almost back to normal here!
