My latest love pinterest.

So after hearing Facebook friends post about something called pinterest, I had to check it out for myself. I don't know why I didn't sooner because it is my newest addiction. I love all the DIY crafty things on there and all the things for kids. Today I made gumdrop turkeys for Liam's daycare friends. I think I should've added a couple more feathers in the back, but they turned out pretty cute. I am also making Oreo turkeys for Lawson's friends. I'm excited about the upcoming Thanksgiving festivities this week! The holidays are my favorite time of year. I know it's not nice to put a tree up before Thanksgiving, but I couldn't resist decorating a little so we decorated the exterior of the house. :)

Oh no, Andy is the big 3-0!!!

Yesterday was Andy's 30th birthday! He is another year older and another year wiser. He is the greatest daddy and husband a girl could ask for. I had a surprise party for him this past weekend at Taylor Grocery. He was very surprised to see all of his childhood friends and close family there. Happy 30th birthday baby! We love you so much!!!!

Sweet November...

November is here, and along comes the colder weather too. This year has flown by so fast! I can't believe it's already November. Thankfully I am pretty much finished Christmas shopping so I can enjoy the entire month of December and all of the fun family gatherings. I will leave you with a conglomerate of pictures from this past week.

The Sweet Potato 5k

I ran my second 5kon Saturday in the big town of Vardaman, MS. It was their annual Sweet Potato Festival and my first time to run the 5k there. Natalie, Kristy, Lindsay, and I ran it together.

I ran my first 5k back in August with a time of 38 minutes. I finished this one in 33 minutes so I was very pleased to have shaved 5 whole minutes off my run time. I'd say I accomplished the New Year's resolution of starting to run. Happy running!

It's a girl!!!!

Sorry if I scared you, but I've never had the privilege of getting to say that so I am taking the opportunity now. My best friend, Kala, gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on Tuesday! Jolie Elizabeth Langston was born around 6:15 pm weighing 8 lbs 13.8 ozs and was 20 1/2 inches long and is just precious! I am definitely getting "baby fever" now so I am hoping I can spend a lot of time the next few weeks in Starkville holding Jolie so my hormones will be quite for a while until the Fortner family of 4 can welcome a new member! Kala did awesome throughout the entire labor process and took the pain like a champ! I'm so glad I was able to be there to share in this blessing with Kala and Josh! Newborns are pure sweetness!!! See for yourself...
