a saturday post

this saturday post comes to you because

I DONT WANT TO CLEAN!

okay maybe thats a little dramatic... its really the laundry that scares me. i would take a picture and show you but then i would be in trouble with my cute husband.

instead of overwhelming you guys with all the amazing things we have been doing... oh trust me they are amazing... ill start slow.

here are a few things you have missed. 

we went to churchill downs. 

we went home. 

we did other random things.

yep that about covers it. now for some pictures of these things.

so here is our churchill downs adventure.

i bet on a horse named mikes dixie dancer...

aka dorie's horse. 

you remember that time we went out to her house,

if you dont you can refresh yourself here.

so obviously i felt obligated to bet on her family's horse,

i mean the horse and i are pretty tight.

then we went home. 

its a tradition to take as many pictures as possible on the ride home.

and group text... but i do that everyday so im not sure if that counts.

these four pictures are what north carolina means to me. 

fried seafood, beach, boats, and bbq.

 be still my heart.

 mom and i took a trip to wilmington for the day on wednesday. 

oh how i have missed the salt air and my momma. :)

here is my precious sister in law and nephew.

isn't she just adorable! :) 

she also reminded me that he is going to be here in 3 months!

where did the time go? 

we also celebrated josh's birthday while we were home. 

and of course its tradition for smores at the farm.

 except it was really hot this time so we did them in the oven. 

but they were still awesome!

we really love going home and being with friends and family. 

this time we were able to be home wednesday through sunday. 

we were incredibly spoiled because of this and didn't have to rush to see everyone.

you realize just how much you appreciate the wonderful people in your life when you are away from them for so long.

there were so many other great things we did and wonderful people we saw...

there just isn't pictures to document.

now for the rest of the saturday... 

our wonderful friends les and lacey are coming into town.

we havent been able to spend time with the hughes in months!

super excited for shopping and dinner with old friends.
