About Me

I'm adventurous when I want to be, but I'm just as happy watching a movie at home. I'm married to my best friend who makes me laugh on a regular basis & a son that makes me happier then he will ever know. I strongly feel that the most important thing in life is your relationship with Christ and your relationship with others.

Emory Jaye Thompson

We are so excited about the arrival of Steve & Arhmin's baby girl. Autumn, Cameron, Abby, Katie & I threw Arhmin a shower Sunday afternoon. I wish I would have taken pictures of her opening gifts, but they were all precious and she got lots of them!! Our theme was navy and pink. Katie had some great games for us (including tasting baby food) and the food highlight was Gigi's cupcakes from Chattanooga. Although, I could eat myself sick on the grape salad Abby made. Steven's mom wasn't thrilled with all the TN Vols stuff Emory got, but Arhmin was! I'll love her the same even when she wears FL Gators apparel, but don't expect me to like it! Overall the shower was a success & Arhmin seemed very happy, which was the goal of the afternoon.

Ah, Gigi's cupcakes. We had lemon, birthday cake, red velvet, Italian cream and chocolate. yum!

Lots of yummy food!


Cameron's mom made these letters, aren't they great!?


We are all still a little mad Katie made us try "apple & chicken" without us knowing!


Arhmin with family. These ladies couldn't take their hands off her!


see what I mean!? :) left, Susie (Arhmin's mom, Oma) and right, Venisha (Steve's mom, VV)

We had each person write a prayer or blessing to Emory and decorated the tree. Here is before...
and after. I think Arhmin plans to keep it and add messages to Emory from friends and family until she is born. Wouldn't this be a cute way to display your Christmas cards? It was super easy to make!

Oh please... Apples and chicken is not THAT bad :) I could have been MUCH more evil! We love you, Arhmin and Emory!

So very sad I missed the soiree. I loved the navy & pink invites! FBC had a gig and Luke had a soccer game.

Don't worry, Emory Jaye. Auntie Merica will pick you out something super cute.
