Baseball and birthdays

Sorry I have been kind of MIA lately! What a busy weekend! Let's see...Friday I went to Columbia to meet my very sweet grad school friend Megan for lunch and then we headed to the Statehouse to watch the Gamecock Baseall National Championship parade. It was H-O-T and C-R-A-Z-Y crowded with tons of fans! What a way to welcome the team back to Columbia and celebrate an awesome feat for our university and our state!

 

Saturday was my *BIRTHDAY*! I had a great day started off by a 10 mile run with friends! When I got home this is what I found....

Homemade blueberry pancakes, turkey bacon, and fresh coffee!! Thanks hubs! We enjoyed the day together doing some things around our house and packing to get ready to spend a few days with friends at the beach! Saturday night we celebrated with all of my family!

 My mom made my absolute favorite dessert, Dump Cake, for my birthday per my request but she didn't want me to not have an actuall birthday cake so here it is, haha! It was a tiny little thing, but it was still pretty good but that dump cake was amazingly delish!

Saturday night after the party we headed down to the beach to stay at Lazy Dayz, our close friends' home at the beach. We absolutely love spending time with them and their family at the beach. They always make us feel like family! We did a lot of laying out, shopping, eating, chatting, and we even made several trips to the Yogurt Moutain like 2 minutes from the house. (PS- I am in love with this new yogurt craze that are these yogurt shops popping up everywhere!) Maybe I should quit looking for counseling jobs and open one of these in my hometown!

Monday I started the day off with a 7+ mile run (Garmie was dead) with Michael and the we hit the beach until we had to back home for the Annual Yarborough 4th of July party! We always look forward to this as we get to spend time with family and friends. I was sooooo bad this year and didn't take any pictures. Mom has a few on her camera but I don't have them so none for the ole blog! It was a fun time had by all! Happy Birthday America!!

I still have yet to blog about my family vacation and all of the wedding and its beautfulness....they are up soon.

Happy Wednesday!

Hello to all of my new bloggie friends! It's so much fun to "meet" new friends and enjoy each others joys and interests!

Pinwhaa????

I recently joined Pinterest and had no idea what I was doing. I am bad about joining something and if it is not self-explanatory then I forget about it. I spent some time browsing Pinterest yesterday and I have figured out it's purpose! Woohoo! It's kinda f-u-n.

 My first pin...Inspiration for my new kitchen window treatments! My wonderful husband is making the boards for me and we are going to wrap the fabric. I have two big windows and two small windows on doors in the kitchen! Any ideas of any other fabrics in the green/red color scheme?

HOW ABOUT THE CAROLINA BASEBALL TEAM?!?! What a run in the 2011 CWS and now we are officially the last team to win at Rosenblat and the first team to win at the new TD Ameritrade Park!! Needless to say, I am one proud Gamecock Alumnus!!!!!

I feel like a fairweather fan because yes, as big of a baseball fan as I am, I fell asleep last night and missed it. It was just as sweet this morning watching the highlights, but not exactly the same. Thank you husband for being considerate and not waking me up, but that was one time that I wouldn't have minded!

In other news, I recently won a giveaway from Christina at Hungry Meets Healthy. I won two boxes of Fiber One Brownie bars. They are delish!! Thanks girl!

The jump rope is missing...husband walked outside with it before I could snap a picture!

This past weekend we went to the husbands 10 year class reunion. It was a small private school with a class of about 40 people. They decided to do a cookout. It was fun meeting some old friends from high school and hanging out with some very close friends that we see all the time! :)

Before we left...now that we are married my mom is no longer around to snap pictures of us every time we go somewhere. (Enter very aggravating self-timer function!)
