For the family we actually had his birthday dinner the Saturday before at his favorite restaurant. We love the Mexican restaurant in town and you will be see by his plates how  much he loves it! We had such a nice time visiting with the family! And of course this is where he got his 2 birthday cakes. Then they brought him fried ice cream yummy! His parents and both his grandma's were able to make it. We also had my mom, both my sisters with their spouses and of course McKayla and my grandparents and my grandma Betty.

Birthday Boy!!!

Thursday the 25th was his actual birthday and he turned 36! So we left that afternoon to spend the night out of town and go to the Kid Rock concert. For those of you wondering this concert was wonderful you should go see him if you get the chance!!  We had such an unbelievable  time as you will see in the pictures below and we met two amazing people Meghan and Erin from Detroit who were visiting with their parents in NC. Thank you two again so much we are so lucky to have met you!

This is Me

hello all I  always do Time to eat Saturdays but today I am going to share a few things. Good, bad random and ugly.

Background:
I live in a small town and this year turned the big 30 (sigh). I am the oldest of 3 girls all L's. I was raised on a tobacco farm and it was amazing!  I met my husband when was 20 and married at 23.
I have 3 fur babies 1. Bo my dog (who is also bobo and to me roo) is it my 8 year old baby and I love him to pieces! Toby (my cat) is my second  at just over 3 years and Sophie is the baby at about 1 and a half. my husband found her at the house he is working on for us starving at about 4-6 months old.

My husband loves me the good bad and ugly and thankfully puts up will all my faults. Love you B! My sisters are my best friends. My mom is everything! She is my heart and I would be nothing without her. My Dad is my Maverick and I am told constantly I am like him.
My favorites: Music country! Love Garth, Jason Aldean, Eric Church, Sugarland, Gary Allen and the list goes on!
Current favorite song: Remind Me!!!
All time favorites: The Dance, Paint me a Birmingham and A Rose Shall Bloom (I love this hymn)

Movies: okay am weird totally random here! Top Gun, Pollyanna, You've Got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle, Con Air, Grease, Kate and Leopold, The Marine, Sleeping Beauty and Elf.

Colors: Black, Purple and Sage

Food: Potatoes

Things I love: Reading, Crafts, Makeup

Random Facts: Hated high school some of my worst years. Vegetarian for 3 1/2 years now, Princess House Consultant, Love QVC, love all things Disney but my favorite is sleeping beauty. Anything old I adore! shows, furniture, books. I collect thimbles, willow tree angels and all things Christmas!
Oh and just fyi cutting my hair not an option I plan to be the old lady with the grey bun!

Biggest Faults: Smoker (yes I know I have to quit) I am totally obsessive about my weight and never satisfied with how I look. When it comes to things I care about I have a very short fuse.

The Hard Facts: brief and may go more in depth later on these.
At 21 my kidneys shut down due to an eating disorder that started when I was 18
At 23 - 15 days after becoming engaged Bryan was in a head on collision and broke his back... long road
We have no children not by choice we have even done IUI with no success.


There this is me... in a nutshell

Boob Tube Babble


Boob Tube Babble
 
Okay today I am linking up with Neely at A Complete Waste of Makeup and Ashley at Ashley's Carnival Ride for Boob Tube Babble. This is one I have never done before mainly because there are only a few shows I have to watch the day they come on (DVR everything) . I know I'm totally weird!
 
So here are my must see shows:
 
 
This is my absolute favorite and I will not miss it! For those of you who have not seen it please watch it! It comes on Fox and starts on September 6. NOTE: it does come on late for a reason this is not for children!!!
 
 
I really only got "hooked" on this show 2 years ago but it is my other must watch!
 
 
This week I have been flipping through and I have been watching Millionare Matchmaker you have to see this at least once. I swear most (not alll) of them single for a reason!!!
I have also been watching the Real Houswives... My husband hates this show!
 
Now these are old but I love them!!!  So I just have to share these are the ones I watch most of the time!
