WHOA! I Am BACK with a blate!

I am so excited to be back to blog world. To say I missed you guys is an understatement.

Let's take a moment to hug. 

SQUEEZE.  

Ah, that felt good. 

Seriously, I missed ya

and we have so much to catch up on!

I think I have to go back to last Friday where I had the most epic blog date ever.

You know I stopped in Atlanta, my old stompin' grounds, on the way to Alabama to see my grandma?

Well I also got to meet up with the sweetest girls ever, Ashley K, Chelsea and Ami. 

totally swiped this pic from ashley k! and I know I am making a weird face in this but whatevs.
and those are cinnamon whiskey shots in our hands.  yes, they were as disgusting as they sound.

Let's talk Tin Lizzy's---- we went to the one in Buckhead and it was so loud I could barely think.  It's a bar atmosphere, and a very young crowd.  We started with the Three Amigos-- which is chips, salsa, gaucamole and queso dip.  It was the perfect size for four hungry girls.  I loved that you could choose several types of tacos to make your own meal.  The tacos were all pretty cheap (under 4 bucks).  I got a southwest taco and a fajita shrimp and it didn't disappoint.  I also had a house margarita and BOY was it strong!  WOW!  Overall, I gave this place an 8/10.  I wouldn't go there for an intimate date, but hanging out with friends it is the perfect spot! 

I have pretty much been stalking chelsea since the beginning of time,

JUST found ashley's blog a few weeks before and was totally new to ami's.

however, I loved all of these girls. 

here are some more pictures I took from these girls blogs because I only have two from my phone!

the beautiful chelsea.... and me, looking rough. 

so, I had just driven 7 hours.  with baby bella. I was tired, what can I say? 

ashley and ashley! 

here is a little video of us right after we met!

so, it was a blate success.  My only regret is that I didn't have more time to spend with these girls.

Seriously, I want to move back to atlanta and be their best friends.  

chelsea and I could watch alabama football, and cheer our little hearts out,

and then I could go running and get buff with ashley k. 

I can dream, right?

Now, for a few more updates...

husband's job FINALLy gave in and we are getting to go home for Christmas!

Unfortunately I have to make the drive North with bella, and 

husband flies in christmas eve.  We get to spend Christmas day with family,

and then we wake up and the crack of dawn the next morning and drive back to SC together.

It is going to be a short and fast trip, but it will be well worth it to be home for Christmas!

and we won't have to end the job here early, 

so thanks to all of you who kept us in your thoughts about that! 

secondly, 

bella has been doing great for those of you wondering.

she only has to make it TWELVE more days and then she can run free and wild!

I can't believe it will have been six weeks since her surgery on Christmas.

and that Christmas is only twelve days away. 

CUH-RAZY!

can't wait to catch up even MORE tomorrow, 

and also start the 12 days of giveaways over at the bargain blonde!

what did you all do last week? catch me up!!
