When friends come to visit...and bring new babies!!


I LOVE it when friends come to visit me.  I LOVE it even more when friends come to visit me and bring their NEW baby!  This precious baby is Campbell James Helton.  He has a head full of hair and is the sweetest baby ever!  Josh and Courtney Helton are the proud parents.  Lily Lou Helton is the proud big sister.  Josh and Court are some of our very best friends.  Josh had a meeting in Louisville and was coming here for the day...Court decided to come along and hang out with me!  It was the best day!  We are so happy for Josh and Courtney and their new edition!




I made a strawberry cake...we pretended that is was Lily's birthday.  Please notice her adorable smile!



Getting ready to blow out her candles!


The entire gang! 


Cam was tired after his long day with the girls!


We LOVE when friends come to visit...especially when they bring their sweet babies!!

Dorsey Girl's Retreat.


-

This was the first ever Dorsey Girl's Retreat...and it was a blast!  Can you see how natureous (I'm pretty aware that is not a real word) we all are? We had a blast being together. 


I loved spending some QT with my pretty sister!


Me, Mom, Cousin Kari, and Ellen...just hanging out on a bolder!


Me, Cousin Harper, Cousin Kari, Ellen


This is the entire clan!  Can you believe we are related??


Andy is a brave man!  He came along with us...to make sure we did not get eaten by a bear!!


This is everyone hanging out by the camp fire the last night.  We had such a fun time being together..we laughed a ton!  I hope this year was the first of many more fun Retreats!!

Thank you! Love you!

Birthday Dinner.

So there is this one thing that happens once a year...Birthdays.  My entire life this has been a day that is full of joy and celebration on becoming "older".  This was my first year to take a step back and realize what was happening.  I was turning..."older".  Yes, it is true...I am at the age where people stop celebrating their age.  I knew this day would come...I just had no clue it would be this soon! 
So I took a deep breath and decided that I am not going to let a number rule my life and tell me how old I am!  So I decided to celebrate my birthday in style with a few of my friends.  We went to a Mexican restaurant and had a great dinner! 



My pretty friends!


Megan, Me, Kayla


Megan and Jeremy = Super Cute!


Wes, Patrick (yes, he is holding hot sauce) Aaron

Thanks to all of my friends who made my birthday really special.  I also want to thank my Dad, Mom, and sister...they sent me beautiful flowers to work!

Thank you!  Love you!

At the end of the night we had some bikers show up...they were pretty tough and scary!!

Pep Talk.

Sometimes in life... you need a pep talk.  I do not know how you "pep" yourself up, but I know what I do when I need a little pep in my step.  Now go ahead and laugh if you want...but when I need a little pep talk...I usually look at myself in the mirror and talk...(I am not going to tell you what I say!!  but go ahead and guess if you want!! )  Look sometimes a person has to do what a person has to do!  My cousin Melissa sent me this link ...and I laughed out loud.  I feel like we should all follow this little girls example...I think it will help us get through the rest of the week!!!  Only 2 more days till the weekend!!!!



I also want to tell you that my next blog will be a guest speaker.  Stay tuned to see who!!!!  Thank you!!  Love you!!

The Perfect Weekend.


My idea of a perfect weekend would include going to the beach and attending a wedding.  I want to thank Logan and Cory White for deciding to have their wedding at the beach...it made for a perfect weekend trip!  Here is how the weekend went...Andy and I flew to FL on Friday afternoon...Danny and Corinne picked us up from the FL airport in Corinne's convertable (it was 9:30 at night and Corinne and I were in the back seat..we were freezing.. and my hair was all over the place!)  We went to our cute little condo that over looked the beach ...here is what happened once we got to the condo...we waited on Andy and Danny ...Andy immediately changes clothes and Danny was playing with his camera...(Corinne and I do a lot of waiting... a lot!) We went and ate at a total hole in the wall restraunt...and it was great!  I ordered fish tacos...yummmy!  The next day Andy and I woke up early and went for a walk on the bech..it was perfect.  After our walk...we met Danny and Corinne for breakfast at Miss Lucy's Gossip Parlor...it's adorable!  After breakfast...I then spent the entire day laying on the beach...once again it was perfect.  I happen to run into my mom and some of her crazy friends who were also at the beach for their Girls Trip!





Here is the best part: The Wedding!  Logan and Cory are great friends of ours.  We grew up with them.  Andy and Logan grew up next door to each other...Logan was always like Andy's sister.  Logan and Cory got married on the bay.. and as you can tell from the pictures..the bride and venue was absolutely georgous!  I am so happy for Logan and Cory!  They are incredible friends and I feel so blessed that I was able to be apart of their special day. The night was a blast and we danced the night away!  To have the opportunity to go to the beach and attend a wedding ...p.e.r.f.e.c.t.  So who is getting married next???? ...and can it be at the beach???? 







Now please take a good look at this next picture:  Yes, this is a real picture...not a reenactment.


Here is how the following picture happened.
1. Danny tied the tie
2. Danny looked in mirror
3. Danny sees all the wrinkles in the tie
4. Danny sees an iron already out and on
5. Danny irons tie

All I can say... ridiculous.

We had a perfect weekend with friends and family.
Thank you!!  Love you!!

Formals.

I am not ashamed to say it, if I could I would go to prom again.  I am that girl, and I am OK with it!  I love getting dressed up, putting lots of make-up on, and taking lots of pictures!  I mean what is not to love about the last three things I just said??!!  One of the pros of Andy still being in school...formals! ! !  There is a Formal every Fall at the Dental School.  YaY!  The formal is called "Ball on the Bell".  Here is the reason for the name, The Bell of Louisville is a huge boat (for all of you Nashville people...think about the General Jackson...its pretty much the same thing!)  The Dental School rents the boat out for the night and that is where the formal takes place.  Here is how the night went... I went and got ready with An and Kayla...because it's just fun to get ready with girls!!  An lives in an awesome condo that has an incredible view of Louisville.  An hosted the Pre-Party at her house...it was a blast!  Andy's birthday was a few days before the formal, but we did not get to celebrate a ton because he had a huge test the day after his birthday.  Being the great wife that I am (hehehe...I had to add that!) ... I got a huge cake and surprised Andy...it was great!  Everyone hung out at An's for a while and then we went to the boat for the formal.  On the boat there was a huge dance floor and we all danced the night away!  The night was a blast and as you can tell from the pictures, everyone looked great!  I am glad to know that I will get to go to at least 2 more formals!!


All of the handsome guys.


All of the beautiful girls.


My handsome date.

Kayla, An, and me!


Andy and Alex busting a move!
