Eye Make Up GuideI have had several people ask me lately how I do my eye make-up and what products I use?<br />
I figured this would be a good post for all you ladies that would like an idea of how to get that "smoky eyes" look!<br />
<br />
First I will show you all the products and then I will try to explain how I achieve this look. I will be honest in saying that it does take practice, because still to this day I cannot make my eyes look the same on everyday! Also, I am sure that I may do things a little backwards than those who are professional make-up artists, but this is what I have found that works best for me and maybe it will work for all of you as well!<br />

I believe that I might have forgotten how to do this.... must I say that it has been 2 months since my last post.<br />
<br />
We have been so busy!!! I do believe that things are starting to slow down and we are getting use to our schedule :)<br />
<br />
<br />
I thought that I would re-join the blog world by sharing with you our week long vacation to Seaside, FL!!! This is a tradition that the Pitts Family has been doing for years, and I am so blessed to be able to be a part of this wonderful family time at the beach.<br />
<br />
Seaside, FL is such a beautifully unique community located along 30A that we all just love. Most of you may know Seaside from the movie that was filmed their; The Truman Show. My memories of Seaside go way back... growing up I had a great friend Sarah, that would invite me along to spend time with her family at their cute home in Seaside during summer vacations. ( we always participated in the 4th of July parade decorating their golf cart... so much fun!!!! )<br />
<br />

I had so much salt water on my lens)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">ALL OF US!!! Yes I love my BIG family... esp. after growing up the only child, I couldn't be more happy or blessed to have so many brothers and sisters. Although, this year we were blessed with two NEW ADDITIONS: Parker & Lucas </div><div style="text-align: center;">Gladly I can no longer say that when we are all together there are 10 of us... there are now 12 of us!!! </div><div style="text-align: center;">(our family is growing)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">We enjoyed laying out on the beach... the water was so beautiful and calm Saturday-Thursday, and then we had a visitor; Tropical Storm Lee!!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJJh3QM1kj09UkxPfT8Qv59z21uoQ3xkPZszejVaOl_LkxzYrl0O9YFWugyZxACYHYCWmlSpvmeuPFEsVfYxN0BVK-WH8YLEySMJajt31zmiSQur6YqR86h-ox6FDSPyDS2n9Z3ByBkpc/s1600/2011-08-29_11-24-39_53.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJJh3QM1kj09UkxPfT8Qv59z21uoQ3xkPZszejVaOl_LkxzYrl0O9YFWugyZxACYHYCWmlSpvmeuPFEsVfYxN0BVK-WH8YLEySMJajt31zmiSQur6YqR86h-ox6FDSPyDS2n9Z3ByBkpc/s640/2011-08-29_11-24-39_53.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">How beautiful is the Emerald Coast?? </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">Where does your husband work?</span> I reply, "Monsanto"<br />
<br />
I would say 1 out of 10 people MAY know what that is. So you can only imagine what the next question is. . . . <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">What is that? </span>Which leads to a ton of other questions!<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"><br />
</span><br />
Sometimes I should probably say, well your guess is as good as mine :) . . . because I am so blessed to have a husband that enjoys spending time with me I am slowly learning some answers to these questions.<br />
<br />
<br />
I know that you are all just dying to know what J. Jay's career is (esp. you ladies, hahaha) so I thought what better way to show you!! A couple of weeks ago I went to work with Jay on Saturday (no he usually does not work on Saturday's but this was an exception) and learned all about COTTON. I find this all very interesting coming from an agriculture community and being involved with agriculture throughout the US working with the Watermelon Association, so hopefully I will not bore you with this post :)<br />
<br />
<br />
Basically the low down: <br />
<br />
*J. Jay works for a company called Monsanto (they invented ROUND UP)<br />
*He does research on Cotton, Corn, Soybeans, weeds and others<br />
*Also plays a role within the community to teach children the importance of safety and all about the farm<br />
. . . . . . . . . . and I am sure many other things that I don't know how to explain :)<br />
<br />
<br />
What we all don't realize is how much we actually depend on farmers for EVERYTHING in life. Monsanto is all about sustainability in agriculture to improve our lives. They work along side the farmers to develop and provide new technology, research, seed and protection chemicals to those who SO OFTEN GET OVER LOOKED FOR ALL THEY DO AND PROVIDE FOR THE WORLD: A FARMER!!! Not only do I say this because my husband is so passionate about agriculture, but I know first hand what agriculture means to our great nation and it is something that everyone should pay more attention to and respect in such a great way for what it provides to us!!<br />
<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">SMOKEY</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So everyone knows that if you work on a farm it's a must that you have a barn cat to keep out the rats!! I just love Smokey:) J. Jay found him 3 years go in his Soybean trail when he was just a baby. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtT1xE-GpAMp3WNqOp2GQ9ZkaLr33mdpNLqJUvNOOqgo1iM_UHr47meipx87z1I2OCdcvhSf0qdJKPGe85bEK9wX4xvT2uks6MIzKge3kCXjwKP-A4FoCV70_e4YsIx5L_YdVaVNjdKQc/s1600/IMG_0183.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtT1xE-GpAMp3WNqOp2GQ9ZkaLr33mdpNLqJUvNOOqgo1iM_UHr47meipx87z1I2OCdcvhSf0qdJKPGe85bEK9wX4xvT2uks6MIzKge3kCXjwKP-A4FoCV70_e4YsIx5L_YdVaVNjdKQc/s640/IMG_0183.JPG" width="630" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">As I told you we went to work to plant COTTON!! </div><div style="text-align: center;">DeltaPine is the kind of Cotton seed that J.Jay planted. He plants the cotton and then spends all his time doing extensive research about the growth and the soil conditions of this cotton. (I am not the best at explaining this but that's the best I can do) </div><div style="text-align: center;">The thing that I find most interesting is that J.Jay works for a company but yet and still gets to "be a farmer" what he loves:)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Then on Monday night the 4 of us headed over the bay to the Battleship to watch fireworks:) I had never been to the battleship for fireworks and had no idea that so many people would be there to watch..... while driving on the causeway we saw tons of people parking on the side of the road to watch . . . . and we thought hey that would be great idea, because we wouldn't get stuck in the traffic. . . . boy were we wrong!!! We were stuck in traffic heading the wrong way for at least an hour. The fireworks were great, but I believe next year we well go to Fairhope and watch them from the pier :)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
Since I have made the transition to the working world I just can't seem to find the time to BLOG like I want to. Right now I am multitasking. . . . bloging while dinner is baking & my sweet husband is serenading me with the guitar :) Since I am enjoying the music I thought that you might like to enjoy as well. . . . This is one of my favorite songs and I love to hear J.Jay play it on the guitar and sing!!!<br />
(he is probably going to get upset that I shared his secret..... he claims that he can't sing but I disagree and not just because he is my hubby :)<br />

<br />
As you know we have been very busy celebrating engagements and marriages with our friends, and with that said I haven't had much time to spend decorating!! This is something that I have always wanted to do. . . . somehow I just never have the time. *** I am going to make time****<br />
<br />
I can always count on my Mom to find the best deals! Those of you who know my Mom, know that her favorite store is TJ MAXX and the antique stores in Dothan. ( she always finds the best stuff and suitable to my taste) My Mom found this PERFECT piece at Highlands Antique Mall in Dothan when I was moving off to Auburn. Like I mentioned before I have always wanted to add something to this and now is the perfect time to give it some more personality!!!<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">This shabby chic chest sits at the foot of our bed</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I want to turn this into something more than just a chest. . . . a bench and a chest :) I want to cover the lid of the chest with fabric to really lighten up our room with some color. Our colors are WHITE and KHAKI .... all white furniture, white lamp with khaki linen lamp shade lined with pearls & our comforter the ever so popular duvet cover from pottery barn with khaki polka-dots that form a square around our initials. (Not posting pictures because I want you all to see it when it is complete)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So if you could just imagine this chest covered with fabric in our room. . . . . </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">What fabric would you choose ??? </span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Also if you know of any other fabric that you think would look better please send me a link. . . . I am open to your opinions!!! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

We enjoyed a wonderful Auburn Themed "Tailgate & Celebrate" engagement party for our friends Jeff & Kim. I was so disappointed that I didn't take any pictures, but we were just having too much fun catching up with our friends and the details of the wedding! <br />
<br />
<br />
This weekend was very relaxing for us. . . . We enjoyed spending the weekend at THE CABIN!! J.Jay's parents have built this quant little cabin on their land and I absolutely love spending the weekend there. Who can complain when you walk in and all your dreams come true and you have some how morphed into the Restoration Hardware/Pottery Barn magazine. . . . It is a vacation home at home. . . . I guess the new saying for that is "STAY-CATION." Next time we visit I will be sure to take pictures!!!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
The Hubby and I enjoyed a wonderful Memorial Day weekend in Guntersville, AL with his brother Brad and his wife Sarah. We spent the weekend welcoming our nephew, enjoying the beautiful sites of Guntersville, grilling out, and just relaxing :)<br />
<br />
<br />
As many of you may know I am the only child. I always wondered if I would ever have the opportunity to become an aunt and now thanks to my husbands 3 brothers and their wives I will :) I am beyond excited about having a nephew and cannot wait to have even more ( and some nieces:) so that I can spoil them!!!<br />

Guntersvilles is a beautiful place and despite the devastation it is still a beautiful place to visit.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b> I believe somewhere that even should put on their list of places to visit :)</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I want to share this with you...... for anyone who is struggling or spending a lot of energy trying to figure things out!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The peace that God gives us transcends our intellect. When most of our mental energy goes into efforts to figure things out, we are unable to receive his glorious gifts. He looks into our mind and sees our thoughts spinning round and round: going nowhere, accomplishing nothing. All the while, his peace hovers over us, searching for a place to land. </div><div style="text-align: left;">Be still in his presences, inviting him to control your thoughts. Let his light soak into your mind and heart, until you are aglow with his very Being. This is the most effective way to receive his peace!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>JOB 22:21 <i> "Summit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you" </i></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><i><br />
</i></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">This is just another reassuring way that God has let us know he will ALWAYS take care of us!!! So powerful and amazing :)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I hope that everyone has a blessed week!!!!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

The Hubby and I have been extremely busy. . . .unfortunately I have had to take a break from the blog world, but I am back!!<br />
<br />
Let me start off by saying that God is good and is continuing to work strong in our life! I was recently blessed with a JOB :) I am doing accounting for a company near Fairhope called Summit Industries LLC. I am really enjoying this new venture in my life.... I took several accounting and finance classes in college and enjoyed them, but never did I think in a million years that God would place me working for this great family owned company in my most favorite city in the world :) As I continued to lean on God's word during my job search I found my greatest strength through these words "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." As he ALWAYS does. . . . he opened up this door for me to start a new journey. . . .<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">GET THIS!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For those of you who know my Mother . . . . you will get a kick out of this :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As I was enjoying the band with the girls. . . . I assume that my mother saw J.Jay before she left the country club and told him that she wanted to go to Bellingrath Gardens for Mothers Day. . . that we had better be up and ready to go first thing in the morning. As time rocked on. . . J. Jay came up to me and said " I have something to tell you" & I was like OK? haha . . .He informed me of Mother's plans and I just knew that he was pulling my leg (nothing new :) So I just laughed and blew it off. . . . about 30 minuets later I asked him again "are you being serious or is this a joke?" J.Jay said "SAM I PROMISE" . . . then I knew this had to be true. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My Mother is such a strong person and loves to do new things. When you mention something that you want to do . . . she will go over and beyond to make it happen!!! (My Grandmother said that she wanted to go to Bellingrath Gardens and then she changed her mind) . . . . So needless to say waking up at 6:30am on Mother's day . . . . it was no JOKE. . . . we got up and got our things together and headed south. J.Jay and I took Mom to Bellingrath Gardens for Mothers Day :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I was so glad that we decided to go because I had never been and it was absolutely beautiful.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Look what J. Jay found!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"> We met this couple TONY & SHARON <i>(from Canada) </i>they were in amazement of all the sea creatures that were just right there near the shore line that you could pick up. Because we got married in February <i>(which is not the IDEAL WEDDING SEAON. . . but we could not have asked for better weather. . . SUNNY high of 72 :) </i>there were a lot of snow birds on vacation. I seriously think that we were the only people there South of the Mason Dixon Line. . . one lady said "where are you from?" and I said "Alabama" she quickly replied . . ."Oh I have seen that in movies, you know where they play country music" hahaha all we could do was laugh! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Check out this little guy! I remember us standing on the beach talking to Tony and Sharon and I kept telling J.Jay "I want to see a starfish" and about 10 min. later as I was walking through the water I found this little guy. . . do not ask me how I saw it . . .

</span></div><div style="text-align: left;">J. Jay and I laugh now when we think back to this. . . and your'e probably going to laugh as well. Very rare do you find a good place that serves pizza <i>(let me just say that no one will ever compare to my most favorite place to eat pizza DIFILIPPO'S in Ozark, AL) </i>but, this place was a close running. J. Jay and I ate pizza for lunch the first day that we arrived. . . and needless to say we had it every day for lunch for the rest of the vacation :) </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">It was so relaxing to sit out in the shade and enjoy a nice glass of wine and some delicious pizza... There was always this WHITE BIRD and BLACK BIRD that was close by. You could tell their trip to the resort wasn't their first rodeo. . . They would perch on the wall next to my chair everyday and wait for everyone sitting outside to leave a little something on their plate and when they would leave their table they would devour their leftovers. . . . really amusing to say the least :)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
The HUBBY and I went to <b>Sandals Whitehouse, Jamaica </b>for the most relaxing, beautiful, exciting and romantic trip of our lives. . .<br />
<br />
<br />
So as I begin to tell you the story of our trip to Jamaica I thought what better way than for you to have some JAMAICAN music to listen to while looking at the photos :)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">It's a must that you listen to these songs while reading the blog.... I am telling you with all this beautiful weather this weekend it will put you in the mood for the BEACH :)</span></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>The beginning of an AMAZING WEEK . . . </b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><br />
</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">We left our wedding reception in a LIMO heading to ATLANTA for 2 days. <i><Word of advice to those who are planning a honeymoon. . . don't get in a rush to get there take an extra day to relax and not have to rush through the airport with only a few hours of sleep. > </i>When we arrived <i>(@ 2 a.m.) </i>we were so tired from all the excitement from our wedding day festivities . . . We were speechless to say the least when we saw our room!! We had a front row seat on our top floor balcony to watch the airplanes land and take off!! <i>(we were so excited. . . just like 2 kids that had never seen an airport before. . . and of course I had a MILLION questions for J. Jay like I always do for everything) </i>We enjoyed a relaxing time reminiscing about all our family and friends at our wedding, sitting out on our balcony in amazement by the planes, enjoyed a romantic dinner and then early that next morning we were off to the WORLDS BUSIEST AIRPORT to board our plane to JaMaIcA !!! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>(all of this thanks to my cousin Charles, he spoils us:) </i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Must I say that we treated ourselves to a 1st class ride to Jamaica.... no better way to travel :) Esp. when your husband is 6'4.... coach just doesn't make a comfortable trip for those long legs!! We just couldn't believe the view that we had ... I kept telling Jay that the water looked like KOOL-AID :) </div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>God's work is amazing!</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="text-align: left;">We were given a warm welcome to the Montego Bay Airport by the Sandals staff. They were all so organized and already had all our bags loaded up and ready to go. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>(The resort that we went to was about 2 hours away from the airport)</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="text-align: left;">So as we loaded up in the VAN ..... we were so excited to hurry up and get there. There was another newly wed couple in the van with us and they were from Venezuela. <i>(so of course we had tons of questions for each other about our weddings and about each others traditions) </i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><br />

</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">"How about that ride in ?"</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">About that VAN that I mentioned....... :) haha is all that I can say. We were in for what I would call "the ride of our life".... Let me just saw that Jamaican's are not cautious drives. They travel on the opposite side of the rode than we do, DO NOT obey the speed limits outside of the city and they TEXT and drive... <i>(Now, just imagine) </i>As we are traveling through the city we see all these men standing in the middle of road trying to sell everything you can imagine<i> ( I am just praying that our doors are locked) ... </i>as we begin to exit the city we begin to see the most beautiful scenery that you can imagine <i>(just like a post card) </i>.... because our resort was so far away from the city we had to travel through the mountains to get there... it was unbelievable how you could look out your left window and see the most beautiful home and right next to it a cardboard box <i>(so much poverty and wealth side by side) </i>then you could look out your right window and see the most amazing blue water!! Needless to say in the middle of this excitement I look and J. Jay and let him know that all the sudden I don't feel so well.... <i>(I never getcar sick) </i>but this time . . . oh yes, I was car sick. From the winding roads, near misses falling off the mountain, the driver approaching a sharp turn laying down on the horn to prepare those WALKING IN THE ROAD that we were coming, to passing the car ahead of us by barley missing the other car approaching us head on. . . you name it we experienced it during "that ride in" .... I have never feared my life more!!! I remember looking at J. Jay the moment we arrived at the RESORT and I said "Thank you Lord! I didn't think we were going to make it to enjoy our honeymoon" and leave it to my comedian husband to look at me and say . . . " How 'bout that ride in" . . . all I could do is laugh and think that we were experiencing our own movie of The Hangover :) hahaha........ <i>It only gets better from here </i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><br />

During our week at the resort we would always see the peacock walking around, but he never had his feathers fanned.... :( During the day while we were laying on the beach you could even hear him "talking" from a distance.... I will never forget the sound of the peacock.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>(On another note. Someone that lives near us has a peacock!!

I hear this AHHHRRAHHH (drawn out like a sweet southern lady) sound and J.Jay and I look at each other and just laugh.... we have a peacock neighbor:) So "my comedian" finds it funny now to just randomly make this sound and we just laugh!!

We were so excited that one of my greatest friends BECKY came to enjoy a relaxing weekend in Daphne! </b></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b><br />
</b></span></span><br />
As many of you know Becky is one of best friends and because of our BUSY lives we hardly get to see each other... We went from seeing each other almost everyday while in school at AUBURN to only seeing each other on "important" weekends. Becky is going to school (at Auburn University) to become an Audiologist (hearing Doctor)... I always joke with her and call her DR. SNELL... :)<br />
<br />
I was so excited when Becky called and said that she had a free weekend and wanted to come visit... She drove ALL the way from ATLANTA to DAPHNE... I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends.<br />
<br />
Becky called me Friday morning to let me know she was on her way. I missed her 1st call, because I was in a job interview :) .... I called her back and we begin to make plans for the beautiful weekend we had in store. We had some time to catch up knowing that Becky was going to be in the car for a while.... She was so excited to tell me about someone FAMOUS that she met!!! Thinking back to when she first moved to Atlanta (Buckhead) I always would ask her, "So, have you seen anyone famous yet?" and she would always reply "NOT YET!" Well things had changed this past week..... Becky finally got to meet someone famous :) MRS. ROSALYNN CARTER!!!! I was so jealous but excited for her. I think it would be a great opportunity to meet a former First Lady..... So I knew once Becky told me of her exciting week, our weekend could only get better .....<br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">FRIDAY NIGHT</span><br />
<br />
Friday night we enjoyed some delicious CRAWFISH with some great friends at <b>R&R SEAFOOD </b> Me, J. Jay, Becky, Wes & Ashley (J. Jay's roommate from college and his girlfriend) If you come to Baldwin County it is a must that you visit R&R (on the Causeway) for some great seafood!<br />

<br />
The Hubby and I love eating CRAWFISH!!! This reminds me of when we first started dating.... J.Jay had just moved to Daphne and was living on the Bay... We enjoyed the luxury of being able to walk down the pier and sit and enjoy a relaxing evening eating crawfish while watching the sun set over Mobile :) This picture just makes me smile because it reminds of the start of my WONDERFUL LIFE WITH MY BEST FRIEND AND HUSBAND!!!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
Saturday morning we woke up to enjoy PANCAKES AND CONECUH SAUSAGE :)<br />
The Hubby usually knocks my idea about chocolate chip pancakes...but he finally tried them and loved them! I was so proud of myself because usually when I cook pancakes I make them to big or to thick....but, they turned out just RIGHT this time!!!<br />

After breakfast Becky and I made our way to Orange Beach for the day for a relaxing girls day!!! We were blessed with the most beautiful weather...it was just perfect outside... hardly a cloud in the sky and a constant breeze in the air. The waves were HUGE on Saturday...as we laid there reading our books and taking breaks to discuss life and remember our greatly missed friend BRITTANY.... we relaxed to the sound of the waves!!<br />

I highly recommend the books that we are reading!!! Once we picked up these books we were sucked in and it was so hard to put down. So if you are looking for a great book to read this summer while at the pool or at the beach then I would recommend either of these TWO books or any of the others written by this author. We have decided that we will read all of her books.... we will switch books with each other during the summer... I am really looking forward to reading these books....because the 1st one that I have started is great and I can hardly put it down once I start reading!!!!<br />

</div><u>Directions</u><br />
<br />
Cook the chicken tenders in a skillet on the stove with 3 tablespoons of olive oil & season with garlic salt and pepper to taste<br />
<br />
Boil the pasta and drain it<br />
<br />
Steam the Broccoli<br />
<br />
Take the 12oz can of evaporated milk, 4 tablespoons of butter and 1 cup of parmesan cheese and heat on the stovetop until blended all together (make sure to keep this stirred because it sticks easily) I cook over medium heat.<br />
<br />
* I try to start everything at one time and by the time the chicken and pasta are done your Alfredo Sauce will be thickened just right.<br />
<br />
Once everything is done cooking pour the pasta in a bowl add the chicken and broccoli followed by the Alfredo sauce and then mix all together. I then sometimes add some extra parmesan cheese as well as mozzarella cheese onto for decoration.<br />
<br />
ENJOY!!<br />

To finish up a great day J.Jay, myself and Becky watched a great movie.... Now this is probably not a "FAMILY" movie if you know what I mean....but it was a really funny movie. I seriously cannot think of time during the movie that we were not laughing. If you just need a good laugh I highly recommend you watching this movie :)<br />

</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Saturday morning The Hubby and I went fishing at Paw's pond :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> It was so peaceful and beautiful!! We caught 7 fish... and I was so proud of myself because I FINALLY caught the 1st fish!! I swear J.Jay has a secret communication with the fish... and he just sweet talks them to his bait...haha </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Some of you may know this, but J.Jay has caught an 11.6 pound bass and that is one of his most prized possessions. Because this was such a HUGE accomplishment he had this FISH mounted... and during the move one of his fins broke.... well he had "surgery" I guess what the men call repair :) but, he traveled back to Daphne with us this weekend and I was given strict instructions not to touch him ... not even my new Coach purse could ride next to him :) BOYS AND THEIR TOYS :) J. Jay told me that he would look great in our new living room, but I quickly told him NO... He looks much better in his office at work!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So all jokes aside... when we go fishing I guess I find myself becoming a little stingy when J. Jay always catches the BIGGEST fish. I make sure to tell him every time that it's just not fair that he has already had his glory! We always have a great time fishing together and I continue to learn from THE PRO :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

As most of you may know I have an obsession with PIGS... I know...I know :) I have just always wanted a cute little pink pig. I tell J. Jay all the time how I want a pig and he just says "Sam, if we get a pig you have to take care of it" and we all know that PROBABLY would not happen.... then he reminds me "Sam, that pig will become your pet and one day when he becomes BACON you will be devastated"<br />
<br />
So this is my closest chance to having a pig :) haha<br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"><b><i></i></b></span><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">Vanilla Cupcakes: </span></i></b><br />
<br />
• 2 2/3 cups sugar<br />
<br />
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces<br />
<br />
• 2 large eggs<br />
<br />
• 2 large egg yolks<br />
<br />
• 2/3 cup milk<br />
<br />
• 2/3 cup water<br />
<br />
• 2 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract<br />
<br />
• 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour<br />
<br />
• 1 1/3 cups cake flour<br />
<br />
• 4 teaspoons baking powder<br />
<br />
• 1/2 teaspoon fine salt<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 12-cup cupcake tins with paper liners. (To avoid cupcakes sticking if they overflow slightly, lightly spray the tops of the pans.) Put tins on a baking sheet. Set aside.<br />
<br />
Process sugar and butter in a food processor until very creamy, scraping sides as needed, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the eggs and yolks, one at a time, pulsing after each addition. Add the milk, water, and vanilla and process to blend.<br />
<br />
Whisk both flours, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the dry ingredients, in 3 batches to the wet, pulsing, and then scraping batter off the sides of the processor as needed after each addition. Process until the batter is very smooth and pourable like pancake batter, about 2 minutes. Evenly pour the batter into the prepared cups, filling them 3/4 of the way full. Bake until the cakes are just firm and spring back when gently pressed, and the tops are golden, 18 to 25 minutes. Cool slightly in tin, and turn out of tin when cool enough to handle. Cool cupcakes completely on a rack before frosting.<br />

Beach trip is on our TO DO LIST!</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
I was looking through the photos on my computer and stumbled across some fun pictures that I want to share with you!!<br />
<br />
I am sure most of you have heard of <b>YOLO BOARDING</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
Well every year The Pitts family takes a week long beach trip to Seaside, FL (we love it there). My brother and sister-in-law (Scott & Stacy) introduced us all to YOLO BOARDING. They enjoyed Yolo Boarding on their honeymoon and they took us to the location this past year during the beach trip.<br />
<br />
*YOLO BOARDING = "Stand Up Paddling" (SUP)<br />
* YOLO = <b>Y</b>ou <b>O</b>nly <b>L</b>ive <b>O</b>nce<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.yoloboard.com/index.php"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">YOLO BOARD - CHECK IT OUT</span></span></a><br />
<br />
As many of you know I love trying new things and the hubby is the same way... I was very excited when Scott and Stacy mentioned the idea. Once we got there and I saw exactly what we were doing..... well I am not going to lie I WAS NERVOUS....the thoughts were running through my mind.... <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">"Oh there is no way I can balance on that thing" "Now if I fall off what kind of crazy creature is going to get me" "WHAT HAVE I GOT MY SELF INTO" "</span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">Y</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">ou </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">O</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">nly </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">L</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">ive </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">O</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">nce...what is that a warning or something"</span><br />
<br />
Well needless to say I WAS WRONG and it is very easy to catch on as well as balance. They give you a lesson that is very helpful! Oh, and I almost forgot... NO CRAZY CREATURE GOT ME!!<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy these pictures and you should consider going YOLO BOARDING next time you are at the beach :) <br />

Heat a skillet on medium heat and add olive oil. While it’s heating, form the crab mixture into small patties – you will get about 5 to 6 cakes. Place them in the skillet and cook until lightly golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25.0pt; margin-bottom: 7.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">*Caroline's helpful advice!!! Use the skillet for only a few minuets and then bake them and they shouldn't fall apart! (Thanks SIS) </span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Another thing that my sister-in-law STACY introduced to me! Last year on the beach trip she was reading this book and I just LOVED the cover and it sucked me in... I am proud of myself because I usually cannot stand to read but I am finding it to more enjoyable!!! So I have had this book a while and just not found some extra time to pick it up and read! I am about half way through and I would highly recommend it :) So if you are looking for a great book to read ... here you are!!! (This is a great one for pool side or laying on the BEACH :) Thanks STACY!</span><br />

<br />
Remember me introducing you to my cousin Niki @ <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #8e7cc3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;"><b><a href="http://pish-poshandpolkadots.blogspot.com/">Pish Posh & Polka Dots</a> </b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;">she has decided to help with the funds that are set up in honor of Brittany and Shep!! 100% of the proceeds go to one of the three foundations set up in their memory. </span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #8e7cc3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;">My cousin did have the opportunity to know Brittany throughout the years...but I must say only vaguely! Brittany always touched people with her giving and free spirit and loving and warming smile :) She touched my cousin in just the short times she spent with her and she is continuing to make a difference in peoples lives to this day!! </span></span><span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #8e7cc3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #8e7cc3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;">Check out this story that my cousin sent me about her inspiration to contribute to the foundations in memory of Brittany and Shep ...</span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #8e7cc3;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><br />

She was such a beautiful soul! I met a lady in Michaels yesterday and she just happened to ask me a question about a ribbon, I answered and then she asked what i was making with my yellow and white ribbon. I told her about Brittany and what happened and what a beautiful person she was and that I wanted to do something for her family and to help keep her memory alive thru everyone. This lady began to cry, I asked what was wrong and she said she didn't know why she started crying, but something touched her heart and she wanted to passon her condolenses to the family and that she loved what I was doing. She told me that God puts people in each others paths for a reason, and that she was put there for a reason at that time to talk to me....well guess what....she bought a bow! I haven't even posted them, she gave me her info on where to ship it and paid me the $10, and told me to tell the family that thier baby was in heaven doing good things for people and she will Never be forgotten!........All I can say is Wow! I knew at that moment that I needed to go thru with this! I am going to make the bows, headbands with daisies and a tutu all the proceedes will go to one of 3 charities set up in her name, Her church for a Playground, Her School for Books, or Her School for a Playground. I'm going to let me customers pick which one they want their money to go to. I know I didn't know Brittany as well as you or most people, However, I remember Brittany growing up and I know who she was as a woman, and I feel that I can do a little something to help....it may not be much, but I have to try! NIKI</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

We are so lucky to have had such a wonderful friend and I am so blessed to have family that cares about me and my friends to help make a difference in their memory!!! </span></span></span><br />

I really want to buy this for the Wii... We got a Wii for Christmas this past year and I have seen several advertisements for this game and I really want to try it. I miss the days of dance and it seems to be such a great way to stay in shape!!! <br />
<br />
If anyone has tried this or knows of anyone who has let me know!!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I hope that you have a blessed day :)</span>Samantha D.

As the fever runs through me... Just imagine sitting in Jordan Hare with 87,451 of your closest friends shaking your orange and blue shakers... awaiting for your tigers to link arms and run out onto the field for the most exciting 60 minutes of your week... and you look out over the top of the stadium as the sun begins to set, and in the distance is the most beautiful sight... an ORANGE AND BLUE SUNSET. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">J. Jay and I are hopping that we can at least make it to the Auburn / Florida game this year. As most of you may know during 2008 I had an amazing opportunity to travel all over the US to promote healthy nutrition for the Alabama Watermelon Association. This experience truly changed my life and I gained some very special friends along my journey. Especially my coordinator Cindy and her husband Harry which are two of the BIGGEST Gator fans I know! We have been waiting for this game since 2008... an opportunity for the 4 of us to tailgate together and enjoy some football :) We hope that all works out as it plans... FYI : if anyone has season tickets and is not planning to attend the FL game please let me know because we are looking for 2 tickets!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We enjoyed a wonderful message at The Church On The Eastern Shore.... A game of TENNIS :) (something that the hubby and I enjoy together. We both played tennis in high school so we enjoy playing around every know and then) <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">If you were wondering who won... OF COURSE J JAY :)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After a game of tennis we made a stop by one of our favorite places to visit in Baldwin County. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">GATOR ALLEY </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">We decided on some different stools than the two that I originally posted a few days back... we just decided that these would be more versatile and also could be painted (in the future) unlike the whicker</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">GETTING READY FOR THE BIG DAY!!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<i>On the Wedding day the bride and all her bridesmaids enjoyed Mimosas, Mom's chocolate pound caked, spinach pinwheels and a fruit display as they gathered at Tassel's Hair Salon in Ozark, AL in preparation for the big event. The bridesmaids, who are lifelong friends, enjoyed doing their hair and makeup while reminiscing to the sounds of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and other favorites. </i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<b>Brittany Hand Matthews @ Tassel's Hair Salon in Ozark, AL </b> did an amazing job on my hair!!! I highly recommend her for all your salon needs :) I took her a photo and she looked at it one time and said "Oh yes Samantha I can do this!" She made my hair look exactly like I wanted and even better than the photo I brought in... I could not have been more pleased!!!<br />
