Birthday-fest 2013

 My fav neighbor and I kicked off our 2nd Annual 30th Birthday's at Suwanee Beerfest.  It was a beautiful day to be outside in Suwanee and enjoy the bands, food and of course a wide array of beers!
Our beer of choice and my new "Official Beer of Spring/Summer 2013"
Leinenkugels Berry Weiss

Waiting in line for our 3 OZ sample



Many beerfest attendees wore homemade pretzel necklaces, it is a genius idea and "cleanses your pallet" from the different tasting beers... wish we would have known as this would have really of come in handy... you know how good pretzels and beer go together!
As the day progressed we got a little "silly" and I was dared to eat a pretzel off of a strangers necklace. This kind gentleman was willing to share a pretzel with me!  
Can't wait until the fest continues with our 80's bowling party!
To end the day we arrived home to our husband's 3rd Annual Burning of the Yard Party-
They were finishing up as we arrived...
Picture Guys with lighters, beers and water hoses. It's a pretty ugly site (and mess) right now but in a few weeks our yards will be the greenest on the street.

I saw you in a dream...

  Madison Sophia Young Born into Heaven Sunday, November 18, 2012 I saw you in a dream Before you were real I can't explain the way I feel Don't ask me to try It makes my heart cry Love created the seed that attached itself to my heart The seed became a life To me became a part The mystery of how it begins we will never know What makes a seed begin to grow What makes a heart begin to beat Growing little hands and little feet What makes it look like you or me Is simply just a mystery The cosmic force that makes me whole Is bound up in your little soul You hold my hand from inside out I feel you turn and dance about I don't know what's in God's plan He took you by your tiny hand Your beautiful little angle face Is now a part of time and space Your purest soul that's ever been Will never ever be touched by sin I cry, I weep, I cannot sleep I think what might have been Thank you for the joy you...

My Forever Child

I received my beautiful custom charm necklace in the mail today from My Forever Child .  My necklace was made with Madison's actual footprints which were laser etched from the scan below. I am so thrilled with the way it turned out. This brought a smile to my day! Madison's Footprints I smile every time I look at the second toe on the right foot... it is exactly like Mikes! This beautiful poem was also included with the charm...  

"So, how's the baby?"

It amazes me how different peoples reactions are when I tell them I lost my baby. All in all I've only had to answer this question about six times. I know that it doesn't sound like an awful lot but each one still manages to throw me into a funk. Yesterday, three people, today one. I play these conversations over and over in my head and wonder how the other person took the news. It all starts with a sweet, innocent gesture, a simple: "So, how's the baby?" I reply, "Unfortunately, we lost her". If you can imagine the look of someone seeing a ghost, that's about the look I receive. I've heard: "I'm so sorry", "God Bless You", "that's not the answer that I was expecting" "Oh, I totally forgot!" (guessing this person knew and asked without thinking?!?) Some people blush and look like they want to run away, some gave me a hug, some say they will keep me in their prayers. And before you know ...
