ANNOUNCEMENT!
May 17, 2012Extra! Extra! Read all about it!
{No, I am not pregnant. I may be crazy, but I’m not that crazy.}
We are moving to the great city of Birmingham, Alabama! We have thought long and hard about this decision, and we have come to the conclusion that this is just an opportunity we cannot pass up. We are moving to a bigger city with better opportunities for growth, and better schools for our girls, and we really believe God led us to this opportunity at just the right time.
Our Montgomery family (blood and otherwise) have meant SO much to us over the past year. The friendships we’ve made have been invaluable, so our potential friends in Birmingham have a lot to live up to! We are excited to be moving nearer to Neil’s brother and his wife and some of our best friends that we originally made in Montgomery.
So basically, yesterday was an awesome day. I got to celebrate my birthday and we got to surprise everyone with our news. I’m super pumped and anxious about this move all at the same time. It’s going to be a lot harder now that we have kids, but I hope we’ll be able to settle back into a routine once we find a place to live.
Speaking of my blog, I would like to ask my wonderful readers to please bear with me during this time of transition. I may not be able to post as much until we get settled in our new home, but I promise I will post! In the meantime, if any of you want to offer your services as a guest poster, I would love to have you. No topic is off limits! Email me at sarahinthesuburbs “at” gmail “dot” com and we can discuss it!
My Mother’s Day
May 14, 2012Yesterday was not my first Mother’s Day, but it was still a fun one.
See how much can change in a year? Also, please forgive my whacked-out, greasy bangs from last year. Someone should have told me (yuck!).
I digress. This year, Mother’s Day was pretty low key for me because my birthday is Wednesday (whoop whoop!). We have about 9 family members (and a few friends!) whose birthdays are in May, so we stay pretty busy with parties and cards and presents. Mother’s Day is a manufactured holiday anyway, so, while it’s nice to be recognized, I’d rather have a big thrown-down this weekend for my bday (and by throw-down I mean maybe sleeping until 8am and not showering at all for the day because I don’t have to? my oh my how our wishes and desires change after having kids).
However, I did get these little gems from my amazingly wonderful husband.
Aren’t they cute? Thanks Katie’s Charms for sending them my way (via my hubby, of course)! I can’t wait to wear them on my bracelet.
This also happened.
And yeah, it’s almost gone already. Don’t know what this is? Shame on you! Best. German. Chocolate. Ever. (and yes, I went there. Ghirardelli’s got nothing on RitterSport)
I think my favorite thing of all yesterday was this.
I absolutely LOVE that my girls can now “write” their signatures on cards. It’s really something so simple, yet so precious to me.
Was yesterday your first Mother’s Day? Did you get any awesome gifts or did you just enjoy spending time with your family?
P.S. Special shout out to my dad (aka Pops) for planning and cooking an awesome Mother’s Day lunch so we didn’t have to fight the crowds yesterday! Love ya!
