Sunday Morning Coffee Thoughts

Hey! Sorry I've been on hiatus for a few weeks. Life just keeps on rolling, but since I'm not here, that means I must be enjoying it! First things first, last Wednesday I had my second scan since all my treatment was completed, and it came back CLEAR!! Nothing new to report, which is the way I like it! Next month on the 18th will mark one year since my stem cell transplant- since Lane 2.0 was born! haha I'm so thankful for God's continued healing and well being! And for all of my prayer warriors who have lifted Bill and me up for the past year and a half!

My mom was here for a week and I hated to see her go! It's bittersweet-- since I hate not having Bill here-- but I'm so lucky that I do have the opportunity to have one on one time with her! We always have fun and get into something around the house- this time we added shelves to our pantry and master bedroom closet :) She also did the chores no one likes to do- such as clean our blinds and carpet haha Because let's admit it, I hadn't done either in an extremely long time..... She's the best!

So because we added shelves, I have been organizing-- like our house needs to be more organized-- and getting rid of things I don't want anymore. It's refreshing to clean out some old clothes and closets, and when I get in that mood, no one needs to stop me! I laughed yesterday morning because in the very middle of me getting ready (putting on make up and drying my hair), my entire bathroom was reorganized. I didn't take a picture of it, but our entire vanity was covered! I texted one of my friends with the hashtag #ineedaninterventionwithorganizingthings! "Tis true sometimes...

Our neighbors in Wyoming moved here this week, so it was nice to catch up with them. I love meeting new friends at different locations, but seeing a familiar face is always nice! One of the perks of our lifestyle! We met at the dog park yesterday and our three dogs played in the water and had a blast! So here's a little Jack love for you!

I was super excited yesterday when I was able to french braid my bangs! I have been waiting- very patiently- to be able to try it! I decided yesterday was the day! My hair is finally getting to a length that I can "play" with it and I really like it! I'm sure I'll keep it on the shorter side for a while, because I am really enjoying it now that it's getting some "length!" haha It's all in the perspective!

Well, that's enough rambling for now. Thanks for reading! I'm sure I'll head out to do more organizing of some sort. Or perhaps a walk in our 70* weather we are having today! Sorry, not sorry, for those of you still covered in snow and ice and chilly temperatures! :)

Something new, Something borrowed, Something old, Something blue

I have been waiting to post these pictures for a while, I just wanted to make sure that the hubby saw them first!

While I was home over break, I decided that for our 5th wedding anniversary, I would take some new pictures in my wedding dress! In the last 5 years, we have been through SO MUCH! I figured that coming off of my journey last year, it would be fun to have some pictures with my new do!

A "Quick" Christmas Recap!

So now that January is over, I figured I should give a quick recap of Christmas break! (I mean, it's now or never lol!)

I went home to Tennessee for Christmas break since I could be with my family up there! My brother had just accpeted a job in South Carolina, so it was his last Christmas "at home," so I was glad I was able to spend it with him before he moved! Before I got to TN, though, I met my roomie from UT in Atlanta, and got a great- but short- visit in with her! It was hard to believe that it had been 1.5 years since we'd seen each other in Charleston! We manage to go long times without getting together, and we know we need to stop that! It just shows how crazy, and quickly, life keeps moving!




I had a great time for Christmas other than the fact that I was missing my other half. Jack and I enjoyed the few days of cold we had up there, so that was fun as well. We were hoping for snow, but none came this year! Oh well, maybe next time! I did get together with so many friends while in TN! I got to meet James, my friend Erin's little boy, who was super cute! We all went to high school together, so it's always fun catching up, and even more fun to see her little man!

Before I left for break, I hosted a Christmas party with my good friends here! We had so much fun with food and laughter, and it was so refreshing to just get to spend time together as a "family!" We are all transplants here because of the military, but we depend on each other daily and I'm so thankful for these wonderful women (and of course their men!).

So going back to break, thanks for following along for those still reading! We went for a family hike the day after Christmas and took the dogs! They had a great time running and walking the   trails, and it was nice to get to do that with my brother and parents! Oh yeah, then the dogs got a bath after that hike haha!

 So that covers most of my break! It was hard to come home, but my parents came soon after to help with some yard work! Hopefully I can get back into the swing of things and post some of the things that have been happening in my life lately! Stay tuned!
