Thanksgiving!!

2010-11-19T07:58:00.000-08:00

My favorite holiday is just around the corner....Thanksgiving!!! Although these days it often gets overlooked with football and Christmas we have so much to be thankful for! Over the past year God has blessed Bill and I in so many ways. Some things I am thankful are my husband, our families, and great friendships that have formed over the last year with Godly women and the opportunity to grow closer to him with their encouragement. These young ladies are such an inspiration and I am so glad that God has put them in my life. It is always great to fellowship, cry, laugh and share with them. I know there are several other things that I am thankful for but these rank pretty high on my list these days.

I know we are all busy right now but I encourage you next week to slow down. Take some time to really think about how blessed you are maybe you can even write them down. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving and remember how truly blessed you are to be a child of God.

Oxford!

2010-11-01T08:26:00.000-07:00

We traveled this weekend to watch the Tigers roll over the Rebels. Although I was excited about going to the football game I was more excited about spending the weekend with our good friends Amy and Phillip. We love seeing them and hope one day that we will live in the same town or maybe the same state. Thanks for letting us stay and being such great hostesses.

My parents also went to Oxford to celebrate my DAD's birthday. We had a great weekend and came home with another win. WAR EAGLE!!! :)

Must See!

2010-10-18T07:45:00.000-07:00

Bill and I saw this movie yesterday and we absolutely loved it! :)

LEXINGTON

2010-10-13T07:33:00.000-07:00

This past weekend Bill and I traveled to Lexington to watch Auburn play Kentucky. We went up on Thursday in order to visit with Bill's cousins Dale, Patsy and Kate and to also go to Keeneland (the horse race track). It was a great trip and we loved spending time with family! It was so nice to get away from Auburn for a weekend. Sometimes during football season it gets very repetitive around here.

Kate and Bill on the way to Keeneland!

The jockeys were so small.

Downtown Lexington. They have several horses all over town.

Pumpkin Patch!

2010-10-12T11:58:00.000-07:00

This weekend Bryson and Braylon went to the Pumpkin Patch in Clanton. I made them matching shirts for them to wear. I thought they turned out pretty cute!! I just love these two little monkeys!!!

Auburn vs Clemson

2010-09-20T09:36:00.000-07:00

We had a great weekend this weekend spending time with family. Both of our families came in town for the Auburn/Clemson football game and we tailgated together. It was a great game and so glad we won. We hope everyone had a great time!

Auburn vs Arkansas State

2010-09-07T09:11:00.000-07:00

We had such a great weekend with great friends. Amy and Phillip came in for the football game. It was a good time filled with lots of laughs, food and of course a win. WAR EAGLE!! We love seeing great friends during football season.

We spent the rest of the weekend at the LAKE! It was great hanging out with new friends and also very relaxing.

It's HERE!!!!

2010-09-03T06:36:00.000-07:00

The tickets have been delivered, the RV's are in town, and the tailgating starts today. These are all signs that football season is HERE! This place tomorrow will be filled with exciting Auburn fans who are looking forward to a great season. I can't wait!!!

Auburn Family Night!

2010-09-01T11:48:00.000-07:00

Last week we had spend the night company!!! Bryson came to Auburn to go to the Athletic department family stadium night! He had so much fun playing on the field with Uncle Bill. He also thought it was pretty awesome to have the same number jersey as Bo Jackson.

T. Nicole

2010-08-25T13:03:00.000-07:00

Today is a very exciting day for T. Nicole otherwise known as Taylor my younger sister. She has been working very hard designing game day dresses for Ellie Boutique. Here is one design that hit the store floor today. I am so excited and proud of Tay!! Shop Ellie to see more of T. Nicole designs!

Happy Birthday Braylon!

2010-08-09T06:45:00.000-07:00

This cute little one turned one on August 5th but we celebrated his birthday this weekend!

He wasn't so sure about the cake but he loved the icing.

And this little one wanted to make sure he was around to help blow out the candles!!

Also Bryson had to show us his new backpack and lunch box. He starts school in a week and he is so excited! I can't believe it is already time for preschool! Bill and I love these two more than words can express!!

Where have we been....or where have we not been!

2010-08-04T09:47:00.000-07:00

In June I taught these sweet girls dance at Moore's Mill Club. It was so much fun and they were precious.

We spent the fourth of July weekend with the Baggett's on the Tennessee River. It was nice to get away and enjoy a little R and R!

Bill even got to do some of this!

Ross Bridge is where we spent our one year anniversary. I can't believe it has already been a year and it sure has been a fun one. I am looking forward to the many more years to come. At Ross Bridge we played a little golf or should I say Bill played some golf and I drove the cart. It was a very fun weekend.

After Ross Bridge we headed straight to the beach with some really close friends. It was great! We ate at some great restaurants and also soak in some rays! I am already looking forward to next year's beach trip.

We finished up our summer traveling this weekend. We went to Florence for a wedding and got to spend the weekend with these great people! The men played golf and the girls relaxed at the pool. It was lots of fun and was a great way to end the summer!

Miss Alabama

2010-06-14T14:06:00.000-07:00

This past weekend was the Miss Alabama Pageant. I went up to Birmingham on Wednesday and stayed until Saturday to watch my baby sister Taylor compete. Several family members came in to town and we had a blast shopping, eating out and watching Taylor perform. She did a fabulous job and got 3rd runner up! She won about $6,000 dollars to further her education. I am so proud of you Taylor!!!

Taylor in swimsuit! She won a swimsuit prelim on Wednesday night!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

2010-04-01T08:44:00.000-07:00

If you haven't noticed the month of March and April are full of birthdays in our families. Today we celebrate a birthday of someone who is very special to Bill and I. Happy Birthday JENNY!! We wish we could be there to celebrate with you! (She sure does love these two boys!! :))

Brooke's Special Day!

2010-03-30T08:35:00.000-07:00

Today is my older sister's birthday! She is an amazing sister, mother and friend and I constantly catch myself admiring her and striving to be the Christian woman that she is today. She has a passion for life that is contagious and you can tell that her family is by far the most important thing in her life. I love you and hope you have a very special day!! :)

These are her cute boys! Aren't they handsome!

The Big 26!!!!

2010-03-23T06:24:00.000-07:00

Today Bill turns 26! I am no longer the old women. He has finally caught me. Since he has a softball game tonight we celebrated last night with a little Fiesta!! We had Larado's chips and dip and homemade quesadillas for dinner! It was good and we had a great night!

His birthday present was tickets to here......TALLADEGA! I know he will have a great time.

I hope that he has a great and wonderful birthday! I love you Bill!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

2010-03-18T11:46:00.000-07:00

Today is Bill's Mom's birthday! We hope she has a great day and can't wait to see her and the rest of the Baggett bunch this weekend in AUBURN!!! Happy Birthday!

2010-03-18T11:38:00.000-07:00

This week is Spring Break for Auburn and it has been so nice. Even though I have had to work this week it is so quiet around here. When the students are gone there is no traffic, you can go down town for lunch and I love eating out at night because there is no wait!

It is also Spring Break for the rest of my family too and when you are a dance teacher you get to enjoy the week off. (Maybe I should fall into the family business???) With that being said this morning Mom, Brooke and Bryson boarded the Disney Cruise Ship.

I am so jealous and wish I was there with them. I know they are going to have a blast spending 4 days with Mickey!! I can't wait to hear all about it.

LIVE LIVE!

2010-03-02T09:17:00.001-08:00

The Live, Live Fashion show was a huge success! Here are some pictures!

2010-02-17T06:38:00.000-08:00

I am so proud of my little sister Taylor! She has accomplished so much in her life and she is definitely someone that I look up too. She is has been working very hard on her fashion show that will be next weekend. It is to support Camp ASCCA and her platform for Miss Alabama.

Let me know if you are interested in coming! Also check out this article that was in the newspaper today! GO TAYLOR!!! :) http://www.tallasseetimes.com/

DISNEY MARATHON!

2010-01-20T08:37:00.000-08:00

Well I did it! I completed the marathon in 4:10 minutes and we had a great trip at Disney World. The race was so great regarding the cold start. I had so much fun running through the most magical world! I ran through Epcot, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios (MGM).

I have to admit that I was pretty nervous/anxious about the race. I was scared about my foot hurting, not being able to finish and freezing to death. But I had a great supporter. Bill has been such a great supporter and encourager through the whole training process and throughout the race itself. I couldn't have done it without him! I also had a little surprise the morning of the race when some of my other supporters showed up! My parents drove through the night to be at the race. It was such a great surprise!

Besides the race we had a blast inside Disney World. It is by far the happiest place on earth and we can't wait to go back. Here are some pictures from our trip!

Who is ANGEL 760B?

2009-12-09T07:07:00.000-08:00

Bill and I adopted a Salvation Army Angel for Christmas this year. It was lots of fun purchasing clothes and toys for this little 7 year old boy. After we went and purchased all of his new present it really got me wondering who is Angel 760B?

I wonder where he lives, where he goes to school, what his hobbies are, or if he has any siblings? It even got me wondering what his family is like, and if they go to church but most importantly I wonder if Angel 760B knows who Jesus is? My prayer this Christmas is that Angel 760b understands the real meaning of Christmas and that he experiences the love of Christ. So Angel 760b where ever you are out there we wish you a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!!!

Here are the items we purchased for our Salvation Army Angel!

Christmas Tree/Decorations

2009-12-04T08:45:00.000-08:00

Here are some pictures like I promised!

Christmas is coming!!

2009-12-02T08:17:00.000-08:00

I absolutely love this time of year! I love being with family, family traditions and remembering the real meaning of the season. I have been extra excited about this season because this year starts the begining of several new Christmas traditions. I will not only experience my normal Christmas traditions with my family but Bill will get to be apart of them and I will also get to be apart of his family!

Saturday really kicked off the Christmas season for us. It was so great to have nothing to do this past Saturday. Bill and I relaxed and went shopping for Christmas decorations. It was such a blessing to do this together. We went to several stores and picked out ornaments, a wreath and of course the Christmas tree. It is a day I will remember forever. It was so special for us to purchase our own Christmas decorations to start our families collection. We also spent a little while going through Christmas decorations from both of our past. It was neat seeing the ornaments that Bill and I made and had while we were kids. They are precious things we will share with our children one day.

Pictures to come soon! My camera is dead today!

War Eagle Hey!

2009-09-28T08:26:00.000-07:00

This past weekend we wrapped up the 4th home football game with another win! It was another wet weekend on the Plains but we did have a good time. The Hines and my family joined us for a small cookout at our house. It was lots of fun and Bill cooked some pretty good hamburgers!

The best thing about the whole weekend is that Bryson came down for the game. He loves football and wants to play for Auburn one day. Bill and I love spending time with Bryson. Here are some pictures from the game!

Bryson and Me before Tiger Walk

He loves his Nonna!

War Eagle! Cheering with Poppaw!

Homemade ICE CREAM!!!

2009-09-15T08:00:00.001-07:00

So Bill and I got this really neat homemade ice cream maker for a wedding present and we thought we would try it out last night. We left for Winn-Dixie and purchased all the right ingredients for vanilla ice cream! I was super excited and couldn't wait to eat ice cream. Well we combined all the ingredients like the recipe said put the liquid mixture in our new machine and turned it on. It was really simple! The ice cream maker instructions stated that in 20-25 minutes you would have great soft ice cream. Well after 25 minutes we still had liquid. I couldn't figure out what we did wrong.....we followed the recipe exactly....and we used all the right ingredients.

So we thought we would just put it in the freezer for just a little bit to help it harden a little. Well after an hour we still had liquid. By this time I was a little frustrated and got the instructions out for the new machine. Word by word I went through trying to figure out what was wrong. After reading through a couple of paragraphs I found it. We forgot to freeze the freezer bowl. The freezer bowl is what the liquid is poured into to churn into ice cream. What a great discovering huh? So we didn't have ice cream last night but we put the freezer bowl in the freezer and hopefully we will get to enjoy our ice cream creation tonight!! Guess I need to start every kitchen experience by reading all the instructions a little bit more carefully!! :)

The Training has begun!

2009-09-10T12:50:00.001-07:00

This week I started training for the Disney Marathon which is in January. So far not so bad but I know it is going to be a challenge. The hardest part will be the long Saturday runs before I go to work at the football games but it will be rewarding when I am finished. Bill has been really encouraging so far and I know he will keep encouraging me through the 18 weeks of training!

The trip to Disney will be lots of fun and we can't wait to get to Orlando with the Fox's!! Until next time I will be running.....

Fall!

2009-08-24T11:55:00.000-07:00

Fall is almost here and I am so excited. Its my favorite time of the year for many reasons.

1. Weather - I love waking up early in the fall to run because the weather is incredible. I also like the fact that you can enjoy yourself outside without feeling like you have just jumped in the pool.

2. Auburn Football - This might be my favorite thing about living in Auburn. During the fall we get to experience the wonderful traditions of Auburn Football. We also get to visit with lots of friends and family members that come to visit the beautiful city on the Plains. We will be making a few road trips this fall. Can't wait for the Tennessee game with the Stockton's and the Summerlin's. It is going to be so much fun!! :)

3. New beginnings - With the beginning of a new school year there are lots of new beginnings to get involved in. We are going to be joining a new Sunday school class and hope to both start a new bible study! Looking forward to seeing what God has in store for us!

4. Thanksgiving - It is my favorite holiday and it takes place in the fall. I love gathering with family and thanking God for the many blessings he has blessed us with. This year we especially have lots to be thankful for! To just name a few.....

Our wedding and marriage! I am so thankful for Bill and for God placing him in my life.

Our little nephews......

I love these little boys and I am so thankful that Braylon has joined the family. I am also very thankful for there Mommy and Daddy. I continue to learn daily from Brooke and hope I can be a Mommy like her one day!

WE GOT HITCHED!

2009-08-06T08:46:00.001-07:00

The wedding weekend was an absolute fairy tale. The rehearsal dinner was so nice and Bill and I loved the golf theme decorations...thank you Mrs. June! You did a great job. We also loved the slideshow and toast that everyone gave. It was a great start to the rest of the wedding festivities.

The wedding day was a gift from God. He truly blessed us with such a special day. The weather was beautiful and everything else was so special. Our preacher Buddy did such a great job and the ceremony was absolutely perfect for us! Thanks to everyone that was a part of it! We are bless to have such great friends that were able to share in our day. The reception was so much fun. Bill and I had a blast dancing and hanging out with close friends and family. I don't have many pictures yet to post but here are a few.

Us with our precious flower girl and handsome ring bearer!

Cake time!

The Stocktons! Can't wait until football!

Busy as a BEE!!!

2009-06-25T08:01:00.000-07:00

I'm back! It has been so long since I have updated this but life has been a little crazy but FUN! For the past 4 months we have been traveling all over the place.
In March we took some time off and went to Josephine, AL to enjoy the beach with the Hines. It was a blast and we loved hanging out with Mr. Jeff, Mrs. Kim, K.K. and Darby! They are one special family to Bill and I. In April we kicked off the first of several wedding parties! With the first one in Decatur at the Sexton Building. It sits right on the river! The party was given by the one and only Birthday Club! It was lots of fun and I enjoyed meeting some new Decatur people! The second party was at the end of April and it was a Linen Shower in Opelika. We gots lots and lots of towels! Now this brings us to May. May was probably the busiest for us. We had Bill's company picnic, 4 wedding parties between Auburn and Alex City and two dance recitals! Everything went well and Bill even got to miss one of the dance recitals for his bachelor party in Jacksonville, FL. He and the guys went deep sea fishing and caught lots of fish.
Now that we are into June I believe it might be the slowest month for us so far but we are always going on the weekends. Taylor was in Miss Alabama the first weekend of June and she did a great job. She won a few thousand dollars worth of scholarship money and it was fun to visit with family every night she performed! Thank you to everyone that came out and supported her. We have had 4 more wedding parties in June and got to spend the weekend at the lake with all of Bill's groomsmen and their wives. It was the best weekend so far and was nice to relax and soak in some sun!!!
I think that gets us up to date. Tomorrow is a big day for us because we close on our house. We can't wait to start moving in and get everything settled before the big day on July 18th!!! After the closing we will head to Nashville for the 1st Baggett wedding of the summer. Patrick and Amy get married this Sunday. I am so excited for them and I know the wedding will be beautiful!!

Wedding Plans

2009-02-16T08:12:00.001-08:00

The wedding plans are coming right along and we are getting more and more excited everyday! Check out our website for all the details!

http://www.ewedding.com/sites/wedding71809

This past weekend Bill and I made a little trip to Decatur for his college roommates wedding. It was beautiful and we had a great time getting to see close friends. We wish we all lived in the same place but maybe one day!!! Here is a couple pictures from this weekend!

Let's go Fishing....

2009-01-05T13:49:00.000-08:00

Bill and I are engaged! I am so excited and can't wait to be married. It happened on the River and was absolutly perfect. Bill and I headed to Decatur to spend New Years with some friends in Huntsville. He was able to take off a day of work so that we could spend some time with his family too. Bill and I were suppose to go fishing on Wednesday but when I woke up it was about 35 degrees. So you can imagine I did not want to go. First of all I never catch a fish when Bill and I go and secondly I didn't want to freeze. But I was a trooper and said I would go because I know he enjoys it so much and doesn't get to fish very often.

So we loaded up the boat and headed to the River. I was not a happy camper but was trying really hard to be. We put the boat in and road to Flint Creek. It is a section of the River that is off the main channel. Bill proceded to cut the boat off like he always does and normally he goes to put the trolling motor in and starts fishing but this time he didn't. Instead he came fishing for me!!! It was perfect and I can't even think of a more perfect way for us to get engaged!!

The engagement process has been so much fun so far and both of us have enjoyed spending time with friends and family. We are planning on getting married in July in Opelika!!

Christmas came early and brought....LILLY!

2008-12-02T13:06:00.000-08:00

Two Saturday's ago Bill and I went to Rome, GA for a wedding but little did Bill know that we would be picking up his Christmas present before we made it back to Auburn. I had purchased Lilly earlier that week and couldn't stand waiting a month to give her to Bill. So I convinced Bill that we had to drive an hour and a half out of our way to pick up some dance costumes for the Christmas parade. Needless to say he wasn't very happy but he was a trooper. When we were about 5 minutes away from the house I told him. I have never seen him so excited!! Lilly is a miniature daschund and she will be 10 weeks on this coming Tuesday. It has been fun watching her play and it has also been a challenged training her. She has traveled alot since we have had her. She spent her first night with us in Dadeville, Thanksgiving in Decatur and made a brief trip to Birmingham. She also got to make her first appearance at the Alexander City Christmas parade last night.

I look forward to watching her grow!! Here are some pictures of her journey!

Enjoying her new bed! Playing with Snickers....she didn't like Lilly much at first.

LATELY......

2008-11-19T06:54:00.000-08:00

So I can't believe football season is almost over and we are half way through November. I have been super busy this past month and a half with work but still manage to squeeze in some fun.

At the first of this month Abe, Brooke, Taylor, John, Bill and I packed up the car and went to Oxford for the Ole Miss vs Auburn football game. With us all living in different places it is hard to get everyone together in one place for the whole weekend. It was so great to hangout with my sisters!! Eventhough the Tigers weren't able to pull out with a victory we sure did have some fun!!

That same weekend Bill and I also got to spend some time with his family!! On Saturday Patrick popped the question and Amy said yes! It was fun to be a part of all the excitement after the big date. I also got to meet Amy's family and her sweet roommates! They are getting married on June 28th in Nashville. I can't wait!!

The latest trip was a recent trip to ATL to see So You Think You Can Dance!! Last Thursday my sisters, Mom and I went to the Gwinett Civic Center to see our favorite dancers. It was so much fun and the show was incredible. It really made me miss dancing!! It was nice to get away for the night and spend some quality time with just the girls. Something that doesn't happen to often these days.

Us outside SYTYCD taking a picture in the FOR REAL pose! It was the saying for the season!! :)

Time flys when you are having FUN!

2008-10-17T08:56:00.000-07:00

Yesterday Bill and I celebrated our one year anniversary. I can't believe that this time last year I didn't even know who Bill Baggett was? I want to give special thanks to Morgan and Taylor for introducing me to him.

The past year has been so exciting! We have shared many special moments together and are truly blessed to have each other in our lives. I look forward to what the future holds for both of us!

Here are some pictures of the past year!

We love spending time with each other on the water whether it is Lake Martin or the River in Decatur!!!

We love visiting Decatur and seeing the Memorial Day Balloon Glow!

And we don't pass up a chance to see the Tigers play!

War Eagle!!

I'm Getting OLD!!

2008-09-12T08:14:00.000-07:00

Today my little baby sister turns 22! And boy does that make me feel OLD! It seems like yesterday we were playing house, barbie dolls, and dress up. Now she is in her senior year at Auburn and loving every minute of it. She has really impressed me over the years. It has been fun to watch her grow into the young lady she is today. Her excitement for life is contagious and she is probably the best listener around. Although I am older than her I often catch myself looking up to her as a role model. She is very grounded in her beliefs and values and she helps me strive to be a better person. With us both being back in Auburn she probably gets sick of her older sister always hanging around but I love every minute that we get to spend together! So Happy Birthday Tay Tay!!! Hope you have a great one!!

Last night we celebrated Taylor's birthday with some close friends! It was great time filled with food and fellowship. Thanks to all who came out and a special thanks goes out to Cate and Sara. It was so sweet of you two to plan the Birthday dinner for Taylor. She is very fortunate to have such sweet friends and roommates.

Look at Sara's great cake!! She is so domestic!! :)

She said "YES"

2008-09-08T11:16:00.000-07:00

Amanda is engaged!! It happened Friday and Robert made sure that all of us were there for the celebration!! Jill was even around for the proposal as she hid in the bushes to be the professional photographer!!

For those of you that don't know Amanda she is one of my new roommates! I have enjoyed getting to know her over the past few months and I am excited to be around during this exciting time in her life!!!

Congrats Robert and Amanda.......LET THE WEDDING PLANNING BEGIN!!!!

Labor Day Weekend!!

2008-09-03T13:13:00.000-07:00

What a great weekend filled with family, friends, Auburn Football and Lake Martin. I can't believe football season is here but I truly love this time of the year. I love it for many reasons.......1. Work is exciting!! WAR EAGLE! Working for Tigers Unlimited during football season is the best thing since slice bread. I get to meet great people and get to absolutely soak up the best of Auburn Football. 2. College Friends...I love getting to hangout and catch up with great friends who live far away from me. I miss them so much but I am so grateful to get to see them for 7 weekends out of the year.
Although this past weekend was hectic I got to enjoy myself. I loved waking up on Saturday and feeling the excitement in Auburn. I just can't describe the way football game days make me feel. It is so exciting and I love every minute of it. I loved getting to see Erin and Jason, Amy and Phillip and Brittany and George. It was great catching up with them and I hope to see them soon!!
The weekend ended with a great few days at the lake. Bill and I traveled to Lake Martin on Sunday to spend the rest of the weekend with my family. It was nice to relax and enjoy the last days of summer with the folks. It was the first weekend all summer that we have gotten to spend at the lake. Isn't that CRAZY!! You would think that we would have spent most of the summer there but our schedules were too busy. Hopefully we can spend more time there next year. We loved relaxing at the lake and getting to spend time with the whole family!!! Sunday night we went to see Sister Hazel play and it was a lot of fun!
I couldn't have asked for a better weekend!! What a great way to start off the fall!!

New to Blogging!

2008-07-18T08:28:00.000-07:00

Well, after checking out all my friends blog pages I thought I would join the world of blogging. It is probably going to take me awhile to understand all the stuff that comes along with this whole blog thing but hopefully I will catch on.
