Weekend Recap: Evacuated Edition

Finally made it to Monday! 
So as many of you have probably seen on the news, Hurricane Matthew took a very destructive path through Haiti, the Bahamas, Cuba and the southeastern coast of the United States. Many people have been affected by this hurricane, including my family. We had to evacuate from our home, not knowing what we would come back to. I have never been so scared nor stressed in my life. The kids and I are safely in Athens, where the babies are having an extended sleepover with Mimi and Grandpa and the girls and I are in a hotel room. My husband however was not so lucky and is stuck at our home, with no power and water. Prayers would be greatly appreciated, and even though our home had no damage to it, our community, or neighborhood and our town has been destroyed. Rebuilding has begun but many people are in need to many things. Here is my weekend recap starting on Thursday afternoon when we left our home. 

Thursday night we were in a hotel room 5 hours from home and hoping the hurricane would spare us

Friday we went to the park with the babies while Mimi had to work. This boy loves to swing, like cries if you take him out of it too soon, loves it! It is the best thing

And of course this little loves to slide and climb and just run around.

The last time we were at this playground, this little was just born. He was in the carrier on my chest, while big sister was running around having fun! Now he can join in! 

We bought a little pumpkin to bring the Fall/Halloween spirit to our room!


My hubby got stuck, so we have Face timed while he is gone, and he has used his car to get charge for his phone, he hasn't had the best service but we got to talk a little bit every day since we had to leave

We visited the stadium in Athens,

got some yummy ice cream

and loved the sunshine

Such beautiful scenery 

We are thankful for what we have and appreciative that our house is still standing, because others were not so lucky, so we are happy to be safe and have a home to go back to. That is our weekend recap! The babies are safely with my Mom and Dad and we are safe in a hotel enjoying the view, and enjoying our time up here, but we are so ready to go home.
Have a safe and wonderful Monday!
XOXO

Show and Tell Tuesday: Prom night!

Happy Tuesday! Today I am linking up with Andrea for Show and Tell Tuesday, and today we are talking all about Prom! Here are a few facts first before all the pictures of itty bitty high school me! 1) I dated the same boy from freshman year of high school until senior year of high school so he was my date for his junior and senior prom which was my sophomore year and junior year. 2) I went with my best friend my senior year. I had a good time, but missed my boyfriend pretty much the whole time. 3) I went all out for my first prom sophomore year, with my hair, nails and prom dress and then again my senior year. 4) I only participated in senior skip day, which really isn't a thing but seniors do it anyways at my high school, my senior year. My best friend and I met super early on the day of Prom for breakfast and coffee and then just spent the rest of the day together doing random things like shopping, then getting our nails done with one of our other friends, and then ...

Show and Tell Tuesday

Happy Tuesday! Today I'm linking up with Andrea and doing Show and Tell Tuesday!  Today it is all about how to win your heart!  In the four years I have known Scott he has always known how to make my heart go pitter patter! Whether he is sitting with our children and playing and laughing with them, or on a pizza date where we both look awful because it is so spur of the moment because the kids went to Mimi's for the first time in a couple months we rush out so fast without showers, he knows how to speak to my heart!  Scott and I will be married three years this coming June and in those three years we have been married he goes above and beyond with speaking to my heart! Whether it is a random coffee or energy drink that he brings me while I'm chasing the kiddos, or just telling me to go to the bookstore and read a few magazines, I got the kids for a couple hours, it is those things that win me over day after day! What is different about our lo...

Show and Tell Tuesday! House Tour 2016

Happy Tuesday Everyone! Today I am linking up with Andrea for Show and Tell Tuesday! Today it is House Tour! I have always loved these posts, but have never participated in one because of the fact that we were in a two bedroom apartment, which was tiny for our family of four. This past April we bought our home and moved in and three months later we are finally here at this post and I am so excited to join along and invite you all into our home! It is still a work in progress and none of the walls have been re-painted but I am loving all the grey tones for now, it keeps the home neutral and cool until I feel like spicing things up! Come on in!  We are still decorated from Fourth of July, but here is the front entrance.  When you walk into our home this is the first thing you see. There is a hallway to the left of the staircase, and to the right is the dining room. This is our formal dining room! I need to do an updated tour of this room but for now I b...
