Friday 5

So, yeah....it's Friday again! :)  And time for another Friday 5 post.  This one is 5 things I can't live without in the summer time.  Hereyougo :) 

1: Old Navy Flip Flops in any color.  Seriously!  They last for, like, 5 summers and feel oh so good on my feet.  I need these in my life.  Period. :)


(serious love for these....mmmmmm.)

2: Victoria's Secret PINK Supersoft Lotion in (my FAVORITE EVER) Sunny & Happy



3: My girl


4:  My teal maxi dress from alloy.com (the dress I bought last year isn't there anymore, but they still have a cute selection!).  And basically any cute maxi dress that calls to me.  LOVE them.

5: My Beauty Rush lipgloss in Strawberry Fizz



There you have it, folks. :)  Ingredients for my perfect summer days.  :)  Hope you all are staying cool, and have a wonderful weekend!!!

This Girl...


I can't believe that I'm 2 weeks away from having a 1 year old.  I'm not gonna lie, it makes me sad.  She's my first- it feels like this past year was the fastest (and definitely the hardest) year of my entire life.  SOOOO many things- good and bad- have happened....I have laughed, cried good tears, cried bad tears, learned many lessons, forgave, sang songs I never thought I would sing (Elmo's World, just an example. HA!), met new people, lost friends, cried some more....the list could go on and on.  But the most important thing is that I am cherishing EVERYTHING along the way.  Something is always learned from every experience.  Whether you knew it was coming or not.  And I am thankful every day for the littlest of things, because I know how quickly it can be pulled out from under you.  I am most thankful for this girl...



She is my light in the darkness.  She's the best part of me.  And I want to cry every time I think about how much I really, truly love her and would do anything to make sure her world is safe and happy.  Saying "I love this girl so much" is an understatement.  And it's the BEST feeling in the whole world.  She's made me the happiest person, even when there's nothing to smile about. 

I hope everyone is having a great Monday.  I know I am! :)

Currently....

I am:

Thinking: about my punkin girl.  And how much I miss her.

Feeling:  a little down.  Trying so hard to fight my way out of this funk I'm in.

Drinking: a nice cold Diet Coke in a can.

Eating:  (just got done eating) a chicken salad sandwich on wheat.

Listening:  to Glassjaw radio on Pandora.  More specifically a Thursday song.

Doing:  Excel spreadsheet work.  Wrapping up loading a trailer for a new retail store shipping out tomorrow.  Deadlines, deadlines...

Watching:  Forklifts drive by...

Wishing:  that everything would fall into place sooner rather than later.

Needing:  a hug (and a candybar. heeee.)


Ugh.  Patience, prayer and positivity....

Our First Tincaps Game

Last weekend, Avery and I were invited to tag along with my mom and her husband Allen to a Fort Wayne Tincaps game.  It was my first time going, and Avery's, too. :)
We had a blast!  It took Avery a little bit to get used to the heat (it felt like it was about 95* out), and we had to move her to the shade because she was overheating a little.  But caking the sunblock on her was worth it, because she didn't get burned! :)

The few photos I have are from my iPhone, because I haven't had the chance to edit the pics from my camera.  But they turned out fantastic!  It was a perfect day for a baseball game.

Avery liked the little squishy baseball she got when we entered Parkview Field:


Aren't her pigtails precious! :)  They kill me.

And she liked watching the game through the rail in front of where we were sitting:




And she loved checking out the flowers in the landscaping when we were waiting on Allen to pull the car around:


She also learned how to clap!  She finally put 2 and 2 together and figured out why we clap.  So everytime we say, "Yaaaaay!!!" she starts clapping. :)  Cutest. Thing. EVER.

We had ice cream, good food, fun, laughs and the atmosphere is so great. 

The other photos will be in a blog post later on, because I really want to share them.  We had such a great day at the ballpark, and hopefully more fun games ahead.  :)


GO TINCAPS!
Happy Friday!
