Merry Christmas- part 1

My family had a wonderful Christmas this year! We hope that you did as well!! Here are a few of the pictures off of my camera. I will upload more once I get some off of Brian's camera. I'm sure he's got much better ones but I felt I should go ahead and upload some... I've been kind of a blog-slacker this month. Whoops!!

Great Aunt Barbara gave Adam these cool alphabet blocks that he loves!!

Great uncle Watson is already teaching Adam... SO precious!!

Adam loves his Godfather Wills!!

The best present we ever received!!

we'll just say "see you soon"

Friday, December 18th, my best friends, Annie & Jordan, are moving to Panama City, Florida. They have been in Charleston the past four years. Annie and I worked together at the One Eyed Parrot (June 05-Dec 07) and have been friends ever since. I know that I moved away from them this past summer but it always eased my pain knowing that I could visit them often being only a 2.5 hour drive! I have pretty much kept true to my word and have visited almost every month since I moved. This move is going to be much harder on us... Panama is much further away and with the expenses of traveling, it's going to be really hard but I know that we'll do it. I know that these two are two of my best friends in the world and I know that we will remain just as close even though we'll be further away!! I wish them the very best of luck. I know these next 3 months are going to be hard as hell but I know that it's all for the very best!! (Jordan will be in New Mexico learning Spanish for the new job January & February and then in Georgia in March doing boat training. Annie & Izzie will be with her family in Cincinnati for the three months.) I will miss all of you SO much!! I love you Tilton Family!

Christmas Party in Charleston!!

Congratulations!!

My best friend is probably the most dedicated, hard-working, caring individuals I know and is graduating from nursing school Friday!! I am so proud of her!! She has worked so hard for this and I know she is going to be an amazing nurse!! I love you Hannah!!

7 months old!!

Our lil pee wee's growing up soooo fast!!

1st day. New Job.

Tomorrow I start my first day in the Corporate Center in Laurens! No longer do I have to drive to Spartanburg every morning!! I have made some really GREAT friends and met lots of wonderful people over the past few months in Sparkle City. I definitely will miss them- just not the drive! Wish me luck!! This is going to be a very different position but I'm very excited for a change!!

*Team Edward*

On November 19, Kayla and I went to see the first showing of *NEW MOON*! We got to the theatre around 9 pm and the movie started at 12!! (Yes, we waited that long in the theatre but at least we got good seats!) It was packed out with wanna-be Edwards, teenie-boppers, moms, and cool folks like us!! (hahahahah) It was a really good movie for those fellow Twilight fanatics!! Although Jacob was definitely the one with the hot body, we are still *Team Edward*!!

*U*S*C* Gooooo Cocks!

USC finally dominated their biggest rivalry Saturday, November 28, 2009 at Williams Brice stadium. It was a well deserved win for the gamecocks!! They played an awesome game!! I'm SO glad we don't have to hear a peep from Clemson fans for at least another year!!

This one's for Kayla!!

Adam's first trip to Charleston

Last weekend, Caroline & I took Adam to Charleston for a quick trip to visit Annie, Jordan, and Izzie!! Adam was an angel for most of the trip down. I think we've decided he's scared of the dark. He rode in the back seat (obviously) and when he woke up around Orangeburg, he got a little fussy. Caroline got in the back seat and we rode a little ways with the light on which seemed to help soothe him!! (what mommies & aunties do for their babies). We got into town around 9:30 and visited then hit the sack...

Saturday morning, Caroline and I got to babysit Izzie while Jordan and Annie got the H1N1 shots... Izzie was so sweet!! Adam feel in love! ;) (It's an arranged marriage).

Adam (6 months) & Izzie (2 months)

(boyfriend and girlfriend)

Adam really wanted to eat Izzie's hand and Izzie just looked at him like he was nuts!!

It was adorable!!

Saturday afternoon, Caroline and I took Adam around Charleston. We visited the Citadel campus so Adam could make Papa ReRe proud with his first bulldog shirt and bib!! Then we had lunch on Shem Creek at Red's!

Adam already loves Shem Creek (& Red's) like his Auntie Bec!!

Saturday night we took the babies and all of us went to dinner at the new Wild Wings. We met up with some of Jordan's new co-workers and had a really good time. Both Izzie and Adam were angels all night!! I got to see my good friend, Adam, which was another plus! Sunday, I drove Caroline and Adam to meet mama in Orangeburg. I came back on to Charleston for another night due to an appointment Monday. Sunday night I got really sick and woke up still feeling icky. My doctor told me to stay at home since I had flu-like symptoms. (It was my rheumatologist). I had to force myself out of bed and drive home. It was AWFUL driving feeling so bad!! Mom took my temp when I got home and sure enough I had a fever and didn't go to work Tuesday... At least we had a good trip together as sisters!! (and no one else got sick!!)

ps- I miss you Charleston!

Adam 6 months

Adam's been up at the studio nightly with all of us helping keep a smile on our faces while we all work... Hope they bring a smile to your's too!!

Full-blooded country boy!!

My brother-in-law, Brian Parrish, is opening a photography studio very soon!! It's located at 214 B. Fleming Street, Laurens (in the shopping center above McDonald's and beside Horton Pool & Stove). We are all in the process of doing renovations and decorating it. Hopefully he'll be up and running within a week or so. He needs business so please tell your friends, family, co-workers, and everyone else you know about the studio. He has the best prices around town and is willing to travel or set up sessions at the studio. He does weddings, maternity/baby photos, model shoots/head-shots, family pictures, and all holiday photos!! Schedule an appointment or walk right on in and get those Christmas card pictures made!! Christmas is right around the corner!!!

6 months ago...

Our lil peanut is SIX MONTHS OLD today!! I can't believe it!! He's growing so fast and I wish I could just freeze him in time for a little while. He's so much fun... So much has gone on these past six months. Today I was actually thinking about what a crazy year this has been for my family... Adam is definitely the best thing that has happened to us. I don't know where our family would be without our little bundle of joy!!

Happy Halloween

Song that Fits...

You better take it from me,
that boy is like a disease
You’re running, you’re trying, you’re trying to hide
And you’re wondering why you can’t get free

He’s like a curse, he’s like a drug
You get addicted to his love
You wanna get out but he’s holding you down
‘Cause you can’t live without one more touch

He’s a good time cowboy casanova
Leaning up against the record machine
Looks like a cool drink of water
But he’s candy-coated misery
He’s the devil in disguise
A snake with blue eyes
And he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don’t want to fight
You better run for your life

I see that look on your face
You ain’t hearing what I say
So I’ll say it again
‘Cause I know where you been
And I know how it ends
You can’t get away

Don’t even look in his eyes
He’ll tell you nothing but lies
And you wanna believe
But you won’t be deceived
If you listen to me
And take my advice

(Chorus)

Run run away
Don’t let him mess with your mind
He’ll tell you anything you want to hear
He’ll break your heart
It’s just a matter of time
But just remember

(Chorus)

Oh you better run for your life
