Holiday Weekend

The end of a long weekend is here.
I had the house, and the day, to myself.
As nice as it was,
bordom did sneak up on me.

After a couple hours in the pool,
I felt like getting a little crafty.
So I made my backyard
a little bit of pretty.

I gathered
construction paper, string
and my puppy too.

As dusk settled in
so did my hunger.
Made my mom’s mac & cheese
with fried okra
and dinner cupcakes
(corn bread, mashed potatoes, & bacon sprinkles).
This was a last minute idea
that is already a new favorite.

The lovely day came to a close
with a rainbow!

Happy Days

First and foremost, happy Mother’s Day!

I wish I could say I spent the day with my mom, but unfortunately she’s currently in Texas and I’m here in Fayetteville.

I love you mom.
So so so much.

In other happy news, in 48 hours I will be in Maui! I’ve got so much to do before I leave, but I wanted to post a few pictures from my week before I go…

Thursday, GL and I went to the Fayetteville square for First Thursday.

We had fun.

Brandy and I got crafty with cookies.

I’m long overdue for an update, so here one is. The summer fun is over & now I’m a month into the semester taking 16 hours. Classes are ok.. two writing courses (one dealing with Public Relations, the other being more reading than actual writing), Marketing, German, and Biological Anthropology. All my time hasn’t been spent studying though – here’s just a peek at what else I’ve been up too..

The most exciting thing is that I have a new little sister! Lilah Caroline Reese Mcgregor was born a little less than a month ago. She’s so beautiful!

Little Lilah

So teeny.

Sister Sister

After a trip to Jonesboro to visit the new family addition, a group of us enjoied a wonderful French meal cooked (and instructed) by Laura.

Afterwards, we saw Dr. Dog play a free show.

It’s fair time again..

That last picture was for my friend Seth‘s MySpace Photo Challenge. Check it out & play along!

That’s for now. I’ll update sooner next time & might even start posting videos, since I just bought my first video camera!

Till then..
