It's Fall Ya'll!

Well I survived the holiday weekend at work...thank goodness it's over! I am sooooo exhausted for being in heels on concrete floors & driving over 400 miles in 4 days! Craziness.

I just have to say that fall is my favorite season of the year! We always look forward to this time of the year because it means cooler weather & UGA football. Johny is a HUGE football fan & loves the Bulldawgs! We plan on heading to Athens this fall to tailgate with good friends & watch some good 'ole football. Fall also means our annual mountain trip which we decided over the weekend we have to start planning very soon! We have such busy schedules with football & weddings that planning a getaway can be tough...but no worries we will figure it out!

Please say a prayer for our sweet Mr. Dooley. He had to go to the vet today because he has a urinary tract infection. His doctor (who we LOVE) put him on an antibiotic for 10 days & if we don't see a change in the next few days he'll have to go back for further testing. We are hoping it's nothing more serious than a UTI & that he'll be back to normal in no time at all. On a side note...our little bundle of joy weighed in at a whopping 24 lbs today! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! This dog is going to eat us out of house & home! :) He takes after his mom & dad because we don't back away from the table at dinner time either! HAHA!

I hope ya'll have a great week & enjoy this beautiful weather!

Until next time...

Enjoyed A Much Needed Day Off!

As most of you know, I'm in the mattress industry. Yep, it's a totally glamorous job & I get to train people on how to sell mattresses every single day! It's not always an easy job, especially if you didn't get enough sleep the night before...you just want to lay down, grab a blanket & a comfy pillow & take a nap right there in the store! That's not an option because I would totally get fired!

Summer time is our busy season & this summer has been no different. It all starts with Memorial Day then comes July 4th & finally Labor Day. We work the entire weekend & are out there in our stores helping the sales associates sell more Sealy! Labor Day is coming up & it's our biggest time of the year. We have to pull out all the stops so we can get a great start on the 4th quarter. Come next Monday night, I will be mentally & physically exhausted but hopefully all of the hard work will pay off. Because I have to work the entire weekend, I've taken some time off this week to relax & get ready for the weekend.

It all started with sleeping till 9:30 this a.m. which never happens for me anymore. I did a little house cleaning & laundry...ate some lunch & then took a mid afternoon nap! I didn't know what to do with myself. Sometimes you just need a break from the craziness of life!

I have to say the thing I'm looking forward to most this weekend is Sunday night at 6 p.m. when we head to Buckhead Church for Part 3 of Time of Your Life with Andy Stanley LIVE!!! If you've never been to Buckhead Church you should definitely give it a visit...it's amazing!

Here's to hoping all of you have a fun & safe holiday weekend with your family & friends!
