Better late than never!

I've been tagged several times over the past week and I'm just now getting around to posting them! So sorry for the delay, now lets see!


First, Meika at Meika Musings tagged me in a Valentine's Day meme! However, I don't have anyone to write it about, but I'll save the format for next year and hope that I can fill it in then :)

Second, Preppy 101 from All Things Southern and Preppy tagged me in the Bag Tag!


The tag is this:

1. Post a picture of the bag purse handbag pocketbook {whatever you call it!} that you are carrying! Now, don't you even think about going back there to your closet and getting that cute little clutch that you carried before you had children or the last time you went out ;-) I want to see the purse that you carried today!

2. Tell us how much it cost!


3. Tag some other girls!




Okay here it is:


I got this for Christmas last year but I picked it out myself because I needed a cute red bag. If I remember correctly it cost about $90, but I'm not sure. I think I might switch it up tomorrow and carry something more spring-y because it's supposed to be sunny and warm :)

Third, Akilah at Execumamas, I hear ya! This is our space! gave me a very sweet award! She super sweet and has the cutest daughters! Check her out!


Finally, Lucky in Love tagged me to list 10 of my favorite things!! Okay, here goes (in no particular order):

#10 - Extra Sugar Free Gum in the Sweet Watermelon flavor! The other flavors are good too, but the watermelon is by far my favorite! I chew so much of this that my jaws hurt some days - this is when I realize I need to stop :)




#9 - Disney! But if I need to narrow it down more - Belle from Beauty and the Beast! Disney is by far one of my favorite places on earth and with their cruise line, I now can combined my two favorite places, the ocean and Disney, into one fantastic vacation! Now Beauty and the Beast - I have seen this movie a gazillion times but every time Belle comes down the stairs in her yellow dress I get super giddy and cry - without fail :) I'm completely convinced that I'm going to know that my Mr. Right is my Mr. Right by the fact he suggests we have a date night where we watch this without me having to beg him to.

#8 - My friends! Growing up I never really had close friends, you know the ones you develop life long bonds with, but when I got to college I did. I can count on one hand my closest friends and that's the way I like it. Quality, not quantity. I can't show you a picture of them because 3/4 of them don't even know this blog exists and they can't ever because they've made their way into it every now and again, but you all know Classy and if you don't, you should - so go there!



#7 - Alabama Football! If you have been following me for any length of time you know that I'm obsessed. I love when I'm with a group of people and they just assume because I'm a girl I don't know anything about football and then I join in a hold my own - it's a great feeling :) There is nothing better than an a Saturday in the Fall with family and friends, good BBQ and an Alabama game.

#6 - Yellow Box Flip Flops: I used to be strictly an Old Navy flip flop girl. I would wear a pair until the heel wore through and I could feel gravel and pavement - not kidding. However, then I discovered Yellow Box and they hooked me. They are so comfortable and they have so many cute colors. I have my eye on a new pair for this season and I feel like I can't hold out much longer.



#5 - The Ocean: There really isn't one particular place I like to view the ocean from, but if I had to pick just one, it would be Castaway Cay - Disney's private island. I've been there twice and both times I grabbed a hammock on the adult beach and fallen asleep to the sound of the waves - there is no better moment than that. When I'm tired of studying and just ready to give up, I think about how much I want to own a beach house and money needed to do that, and push through.


#4 - Bible/devotional: I just recently picked up Cheri Fuller's book, One Year Book of Praying Through the Bible. I'm so excited about this book! Not only have the read the whole Bible by the end of it, each devotional seems to be taylor made to fit my need that day. I'm guessing that either God knew I was going to stumble upon this book and made it to fit me, or everyone struggles with these issues; either way - it's a good feeling.


#3 - Starbucks Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte with 2 splenda and a little extra Cinnamon on top. It tastes like a liquid Cinnamon bun. Try it!

#2 - Country music: I love, love, love country music! I can relate to so many of the lyrics and I love to sing along. My favorites are Kenny Chesney, Sugarland, Carrie Underwood, Lady A and Jake Owen :0)

#1 - My family. I come from a very small family. I mean I'm an only child, but I also only have one first cousin, so even my extended family is relatively small until you go about three layers. However, I like this. My Mom is like my best friend - we talk several times a day and I'm a complete Daddy's girl - every guy I meet has to measure up to my Daddy - I'm still looking, so far no one has come close. I was blessed to know three of my Great-Grandparents and one for 13 years. He continues to be one of the bravest, unselfish and modest men I've ever met. My grandparents spoil me, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it. We're small, but we're loved and I'm scared of getting smaller because each person is such an important piece of my life puzzle.


Shew! Just so you know I've been working on this post for three days! I'm just so tired that I'm not tagging anyone, but please play along with the favorite things tag - it's fun! Thanks again to everyone for the tags!
