Blue Skies & Sunshine

Okay, I know I've most likely mentioned it before, but I LOVE summer. This past weekend was even better than usual. 80 degrees, a cool breeze, blue skies, sunshine...ahhh, it's so invigorating. Weekends like that are food for the soul! So, now that I've told you all that I guess I can share a little bit about our weekend.

Friday night, Braden spent the night with Grandmother. They love each other to the moon & back so I'm sure they had a blast together (some days I wonder if he'd leave me for his Papaw or Grandmother). The whole reason he spent the night though was because Josh, Kendall & I went to the 6:30 showing of HARRY POTTER & THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE! Haha, I think I love those movies (& books) more than Kendall, so it was a BIG treat for me. Unfortunately, we only average about 3-4 movies a year, so I was STOKED. It was wonderful, as usual...and also, as usual, not nearly as wonderful as the book.

Saturday was a gorgeous day, only marred by the fact that I had to give up the kittens. I had someone email on Friday about the kittens and we set up a time for me to drop them off at THEIR HOUSE. Now, these kittens were free and I'm still driving to Irondale and you don't have to do anything...well, I won't go into details but I'll just say it didn't work out. I had to make the very difficult decision to take the kittens to the Greater Birmingham Humane Society. MY GOSH it was difficult. I teared up, I really didn't want to let those little girls go. :-(

Then on Sunday Josh's sister got MARRIED! It was such a nice small ceremony and she looked so gorgeous!! She's now Mrs. Angie Tipton. I know she's happy and that really makes Josh & I very happy too. What a beautiful bride, I'll have to share a picture or two.

Alright, it's Wednesday and Brady turns 4 in six days, his Pirate party is in 4 days at the SplashPad in Gardendale. Now is not the time to reflect on the last 4 years of my life and how he's changed every single thing about me (for the better, I think). But I did want to mention it because I am overwhelmed with thoughts of Braden growing up... Braden Trace Moody, our little boy, will be four years old. Wow.
