Tailgating in the Sand

This past Saturday we started our first annual "tailgate in the sand" on Grayton beach. The pictures should show exactly how much FUN we had watching football while our feet were planted in the beautiful South Walton sand!

Made out of Seaweed!

Meg and Joel

This was an act of congress....

Glued to the tv

It got a little chilly at night.

Live to Work, Love to Live

First was Kelly's bach party in New Orleans

We have all been on the road lately...even little Louie

Sweet Megan holding all of my magazines that I bought in the airport, because my back hurt so bad from carrying them.

My Sweet friend Blair sent this to me with this caption on it. This was taken on the sidewalk in New Orleans. 

Desperate for a phone charger...so the only one left in the airport was in the middle of the walkway...Megan, as usual, took the proper safety precautions and put the child's booster seat on top of it.

Jacque and Janis in Vegas

Deepak, our India factory owner, was also in Vegas.

Some of the girls in New Orleans for Kelly's bach trip.

Fox and his new dog paddling around in Grayton.

All of the tshirts had special meaning. Angel was my first dog and Tennille was the street that I lived on growing up. Note to everyone.....I normally don't wear tutus or tube socks! We were all good sports for Kelly!

Joel babysat Louie for me while I was gone.

Everyone needs a little mountain/sunset time after a long adventure.

The girls were so tired after Vegas was finally over.

Who am I Going to be Today?

Mom? Designer? Fisherman? Cook? PTA Member? CEO?

Sometimes I wear about five different hats in one day....Christie at the office likes to ask what personality/mode will I be in today? So here is a glimpse of the fun....

Fox at the Dentist

Fox caught a 7 pound bass.....he was so proud!! & I was too!

Photo shoot time

Orientation for Kindergarten...I even signed up for PTA

This is how I feel most days around 5pm

Sometimes breakfast is challenging too!

Troy University

Troy University has been a blessing to my life in so many ways! It was rewarding to be able to share these experiences that would not have been possible without them! The story is available in their online magazine, HERE. 

What I Have Learned...

Love & Marriage

"Mr. and Mrs. Denny"

&

"Mr. and Mrs. Smith"

Recently, I have had many weddings to go to and be apart of...here are two weddings that are very special to me and hit close to the heart.

Anna and Burke Denny
Anna has been a part of my life since grade school. We cheered together all through Junior High and High School. She is an amazing friend and did I forget to mention that.....
-she was my first employee ever and is still working with me
-her father, Dr. Steve Garrott, was one of my college professors at Troy University and inspired me to do what I do today!!!
-her mother, "Mrs. Prescilla" is an amazing woman that raised this fabulous offspring and stops by the office not often enough!
-last but not least....Anna was blessed and found a wonderful man, Burke. I am so happy for them. It is so nice to see a couple so happy and in love!

Megan, Alexis, Anna, Abby, and Brittany
Megan, Alexis, and Brittany work at Judith March and are a part of our big family. Abbey is one of the sweetest girls I have had the pleasure of meeting in Anna's life.

My Dad and me at Anna and Burke's wedding

Christy and Rob Smith
Christy is one my best friends in the entire world!! Honestly, she is my sister...Mr. Gilbert and Mrs. Jackie practically helped raise me...when we were teens.  I love them so much.  She has had me under her wing and practically raised me herself since 5th grade.... She helped me get started with Judith March.
Christy is the most talented person I have ever known. I was maid of Honor in her wedding at Rosemary this year.
I am so happy she found her prince, Rob Smith. They are perfect together.
