Prayers for Miller

This whole story moves me to tears. Meredith, Miller's mama, and I are from the same hometown. She was one of those beautiful older girls that the younger ones think are gorgeous and perfect. Please join with me in praying for her family during this difficult time. Click here to go to the Facebook page, I'm going to copy a paragraph from it.

Precious baby Miller greeted this world on March 28, 2011 weighing 8lb 12oz, and seemingly healthy. He's the beautiful baby boy of Patrick & Meredith Woodruff, and little brother to adorable Cole. When Miller was about three weeks old, he went in for some testing and was diagnosed with SMA Type 1 (Spinal Muscular Atrophy). Thankfully sweet Miller has been blessed with the most wonderful selfless caring parents, who love him beyond measure and are taking such excellent care of him! Words from his momma, Meredith: "We are staying strong and focusing on the positive. Taking it one day at a time and living life to its fullest. Miller's life may be cut short, but it's going to be a good one! We love you just the way you are precious angel!" This page has been created to build up a huge prayer & support team for beautiful Miller and the Woodruff family!! They've got MANY people pulling for them already, but we all know the more prayers the better!! Let's help support them along this journey and be praying for a Miller Miracle!!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥

Wedding Weekend

If you saw Saturday's post already know that I was out of town celebrating the wedding of two dear friends. I have been friends with Jax ever since she pledged Kappa at the University of Arkansas and I have been friends with Craig ever since Jax introduced me to him one night at the Kappa Sig house. Oh so long ago!! They just might take the cake for being one of the sweetest couples that I have the pleasure of knowing. I had the honor of being a bridesmaid, so the weekend was jam-packed full of activities.

The past few months Jax's dear parents have been building an addition to their home. After lots of stress, it all came together and we were able to enjoy a delightful bridesmaids' luncheon under a tent in a beautifully landscaped yard. Somehow I didn't snap any pictures until after we ate. Excuse the sweat, we have been having ridiculously hot June weather in Arkansas.

All eleven (yes, eleven!!) of us bridesmaids received adorable slippers and a different pair of vintage earrings. Jax has impeccable taste and these are a gift I will treasure always.

The rehearsal dinner Friday night was at the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks. All of the food was delish, but the mashed potato bar might have been my favorite part. With two Kappa Sig weddings the same weekend in Fayetteville, masses of people were in town. The late-night highlight of the evening was probably when Craig walked into the bar and the entire place broke out in screams, cheers and clapping. Gotta love being back in my college town.

The festivities on Saturday started at 11am, and let me just say that we were all glad that no fixed hair or make-up was required. Jax's favorite stylist flew in from D.C. just for the occasion. A few hours later there were 11 smokin' bridesmaids.

After a beautiful ceremony we celebrated the marriage with a reception at Carnall Hall, where from the specialty Jaxtini to the crystal chandelier in the tent, no detail was spared. The bride and groom were simply radiant!

I am looking forward to many, many years with this happy couple!

Happy Happy Day!!

Today is one special day for a very pretty lady! My dearest, darlingest mother is celebrating her birthday today! A lady never reveals her age, so I will not tell you that little tidbit of information. Sadly, I have not spent the day with her, but we do plan on celebrating once my daddy comes home next week!! Happy Happy Birthday, CA!! I love you so very much!!

Healthy Snacks

Being on the road the past couple of weeks I have eaten a lot of not so good food. Not really junk food, but not healthy like I normally do at home. I know we all need a little encouragement and motivation now and then to eat healthier and get more exercise. An easy way to start is by watching the foods which you eat for snacks. This image shows some great foods to keep on hand when you need a little snack.

A Few Others

string cheese
carrots + hummus
apple + almond butter
celery + light Laughing Cow cheese
peanut butter + banana
unsweetened applesauce
fat free cottage cheese + tomatoes
fat free cottage cheese + pears
yogurt + fruit smoothie

Wishing you...

Wedding Day

Today two of my favorite people will say two little words and pledge to each other the rest of their lives. I do not know if my heart has ever been as happy to watch two people get married. Through all of their ups and downs I have never questioned whether they were right for one another. It has truly been one of those relationships that was always meant to be. So, cheers to many blessed years ahead Craig and Jax!!
