Living out loud in the Carolinas

Category: events

  • Vacations (read: experiences) are very important to CSP & me.  We’d much rather drive basic cars and have basic furniture and buy basic clothes (I spill too much on myself to have expensive clothes anyway) and spend our money on trips.  I’ve even read articles that say there have been studies that show that people…

  • I’m throwing my first baby shower in March!  It’s for Shannon G who’s married to Mustachio.  Naturally it’s a mustache themed baby shower!  I have lots of fun ideas but can always use more. What are some fun baby shower games?  Besides “measure the Mommy”.  That one gets a big no. What should I stay…

  • 2011 is going to be a big year for us.  On March 3 CSP & I will celebrate 10 years married.  On December 12 CSP will turn 40.  Between March & December we’ll have lots of other things going on as well I’m sure.  We’ve decided to celebrate those two milestones with a Disney Cruise…

  • We moved into our current house 4 years ago.  Since then CSP has been transferred to a new district.  Now the possibility of him ever working anywhere near our house is pretty slim.  In fact, his commute has steadily gotten longer and now is an hour long one way.  To keep his sanity we’ve decided…

  • Last night Christina and I went to the roller derby!  It was so fun!  It all started when I watched the movie Whip It.  I grew up spending most of my summers in my family’s skating rink in Florida.  I could skate by the time I was 2 years old.  Then I graduated high school…

  • CSP & I went out for our own birthday dinner celebration.  I wanted to go somewhere low key.   We love Captain Steve’s but hadn’t been in a while so we went there. I got their fabulous shrimp cocktail along with their yummy grilled chicken salad. CSP got his usual salt and pepper catfish &…

  • The night before my birthday CSP & I drove out to his parents house for my birthday celebration. We stopped for cherry limeades at Sonic on the way out.  My MIL had gorgeous sunflowers out on display for my dinner.  They had made a yummy fruity salad with a ginger lime dressing, lasagne, and my…

  • Sunday before my birthday I met up with Gigi, Momo, and Sara for my family birthday celebration.  We all met up at Gigi’s house, left the boys with Papa, and headed out to see Dinner With Schmucks. SO funny!  I really lost it on the “Join her to you” part.  Steve Carell was a riot…

  • I’ve just returned from my first trip to North Carolina’s Outer Banks, or OBX as you’ll see when you visit.  OBX can be found on tshirts, stickers, can coozies.  Each July my family spends a week together either at the mountain house or some other location, usually a beach.  This time we chose the Outer…

  • Sam- the oldest dog in the world, our family dog, went to heaven today.  He was at least 17 years old.  He came to live with us as a rescue and we were told he was 3 years old, but he could have been even older.  He’s just been around forever.  He’s the sweetest, best…
