Vera Bradley Tennis Classic 2010

This year's Vera Bradley Tennis Classic was another success. There was over $800,000 raised to fund the fight against breast cancer!!!

From cocktails on court, to match play, to the celebration dinner, it was a very busy and very fun weekend. I am proud to be part of an event that is so passionate about ending this disease!


Aunt Rita plays in the Classic every year in memory of her sister (my Aunt) Rebecca.

Congrats, Mom!


My Mom has officially retired! She taught elementary special education for 25 years. Now that is dedication! We are so proud of her and so excited for her to embark on a new chapter in her life.

The school hosted a dinner party in honor of all the retirees. She, along with 3 other teachers were honored that evening. Mom felt so special. She had an absolute ball, and it was great to be able to celebrate the ending of her teaching career. Congratulations, Mom! We love you, and we are so proud of you!


Way to go, Mom!

I'm back

While taking care of an 18 month old, working part time, and keeping up on everyday household tasks, my blogging has been pushed to the wayside. Now, I realize and understand I am not the only mom out there with a million things to get done. That is why all these other moms completely AMAZE me with all they can accomplish in a day and still manage to look cute. Wish I had their organization and drive. I'm working on it... ;)

If there are any readers left out there (hello Aunt Glennda!), this is what our family has been up to since Easter:

We took a vacation to Destin, Florida in April. This trip was much needed, and we enjoyed every minute of it. It was such a treat to have nothing to do everyday besides soak up the sun and enjoy being together.



Derek's face expresses his "I cannot believe it!" excitement. Cracks me up.
Dinner by the ocean. This was the night Derek danced in the open to the live music. He was the star of the evening. Too cute. Wish we had a pic of him movin and grovin.
My cousin Dane drove to see us. He is stationed at Elgin AFB. So great to see him!
Me and my love, bayside.
Derek LOVED being at the ocean!
priceless.
