Mom is 50!!

So my mom turned 50 on the 14th! I am so excited!! There are only a few times in our lives that we get to share special moments with our moms. This was one of those for me. The other one was when I was 20 and she was 40 we got tats together. So here it is 10 years later she's 50 and I'm 30 wonder what wild thing we'll do this year! We had a small intimate gathering at MImi's Cafe. She was so in her Zone....She was smiling from ear to ear. I love it when she's like that. The only other time she's like that is with my boys! We had an amazing night of food,fun,presents,cake, and close friends. Our waiter was fabulous. We never needed a thing. He was amazing with such a large group. My mom chatted her heart out, and laughed her butt off. It was great! So I'll leave you wuth a few pics of the great night!!

I thought I was beyond high school,

Evidently not. I am still to this day amazed at how much gossip there truly is. I have been wrapped up in yet another one of those whirlwinds that I thought I left behind at graduation. I irritates me to no end when people cause unneeded drama. As many of you who know me, truly know me, I am a bit OCD when it comes to things other than my house(it's never as clean as i would like it to be.) If my name is attached to things I want not only for them to flourish, but to go over and beyond expectations. I've been this way since junior high. When I danced, it had to be the best, when I was add manager for the newspaper and yearbook, it better of been the best, you need donations for CODHI, I 'll get 'em. Now I have a couple of organizations I am linked with that I really want to succeed so I am giving them my all. In doing that I may have stepped on some toes. I do apologize. When I go at something I want to give it 110%. My mom taught me that. It's the bullheadedness in my blood. I do have to declare that I have failed miserably at a few things so far this year. My sign class has not flourished as I had hoped it would, and my mom's 50th birthday party well it's not my shining moment for the year. I am hoping to end this year on a high note though with Hands and Voices taking off, the PR for the pumpkin patch getting rave reviews, and hopefully an exciting holiday season with true friends and family. Wish me LUCK!

All things Pumpkin!

As many of you already know I go to Saint Matthew United Methodist Church. We have an annual pumpkin patch that is pretty well known. Our festival is this coming Saturday the 11th. Well since it was WIlson,Tanksley, Henson gathering day on sunday we worked the patch after our fabulous meal that mo and poppy made. The boys absolutely love the patch! It was 2 hours of pure bliss for them. The adults enjoyed it as well. We ate ice cream, helped people pick pumpkins, and a few of our own, and loaded them for our customers. It was nice to send time with all of us together, and help the church at the same time. I am excited to see the numbers this year. We have always done very well, and all the money goes to missions.
