It's on fish!!!

• Women of Joy in Sevierville, TN!  This weekend was AmAzInG (not to mention I only had to drive 1.5 hours to get there whereas my family drove nearly 7)!  It's hard to even describe how much each one of these gals mean to me!  The fun part this year is that Rance's cousin Charlena joined our ladies weekend get-a-away.  Not only do I love this group because they are family but even more than that, we share the most important common interest - JESUS CHRIST!  We love shouting, hollering and singing praises to our DADDY in heaven.  We know when to be quiet & we know when to be loud!

You know what we are doing! :)



THE GOSPEL! (From left to right)
He came, He died, He rose from the grave, He ascended, and one day HE IS COMING BACK!!!
It's a known fact that a t-shirt gets read over 3,000 times in its lifetime!  Because of this, I can't think of any greater message to share on a t-shirt than the gospel itself!  I had these shirts made for our group by an awesome friend in Robbinsville.  What's even more awesome is - we LOST count of the number of people that stopped us and asked us about our shirts - either what it meant, what the signs stood for, where we got them, and could they get one!!!

I believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ do you???

AT THE TN/NC Border!
This picture brings back a special memory because all day the weather was in the 60s!  When we reached the PEAK (top) of the mountain on our way home - IT WAS SNOWING!!!

• Laura May's Baby Shower for the future Harper Elizabeth...

Our friendship began at birth :)

• Extreme Home Makeover Edition at our Beach Condo!  At the end of April, my mom, bf Mandy and I headed down to our condo in Atlantic Beach for a little makeover edition.  You see, we had made no changes to it since my grandma decorated it back in 1995 when her and my granddaddy bought the condo!  Basically, our condo needed a lil' lovin' and we shopped til we dropped literally updating/upgrading and jazzin' up the place on a budget.  I am still mad at myself to this day for not taking BEFORE and AFTER pictures.  Let's just say, I am very happy the way it turned out!  Here is a sneak peak...  

Bedroom #1
The brighter, The better!

Bathroom #1 - Matching the BRIGHT theme!
(new paint & all!)

Bedroom #2 - Nautical theme!
Just FYI - the shell lamp on this dresser was MAUVE - yes with the biggest, ugliest lampshade you can imagine!  Mandy and I had the bright idea to love on it instead of throwing it away!  She used her refurbishing skills and did an AMAZING JOB turning this lamp into something perfect!

Bathroom #2

New sleeper sofa & balcony!



Best for last - view from our balcony!
*I love the beach*

There are still some things we want to do but we are very excited about the changes at this point!  If only you could see the before :)  Let's just say my grandma LOVED mauve & oh how I love her for it!  If you're interested in renting, holler at me!!!

May, oh May, what did we do in May?!  Coming soon................
