We have a saying around here..."Keepin' it Southern". Used in a sentence..."Hey man, love your bow tie, way to Keep it Southern". OR "What's up for tonight guys?"..."Just smoking some Boston Butts in the backyard and throwing back a few cold ones, you know, Keepin' It Southern." You could say, we are stereo typing ourselves. Get it? Got it? Good. On to my story...
My youngest brother Jordan is a Soph a Clemson and is dating the sweetest girl from Seneca, SC. Basically Clemson. Her dad trains law enforcement officer's how to properly use Glock's. Yes, the gun.
So, we had my dad's birthday dinner (reminder...post his bday letter) Saturday night and Jordan and Hannah were in town. Over dinner we were talking about some of Jordan's classes he has taken since being at school. One of which was rifle-ry . So, my dad says to Hannah "Hannah, do you know how to shoot a rifle" and she responds (serious as a heart attack) "Oh no Sir, I wouldn't know what to do with a rifle, I can only shoot a Glock". Hannah, way to Keep it Southern Sister.

Parenthood
Anyone seen the previews for the new show Parenthood coming on Tuesdays after the Olympics?? Talk about a tear jerker. I don't know if it's the Forever Young song playing in the background or when Lauren Graham hugs that kid but I am all over it.
Series Premier is March 2 @ 10/9 c on NBC!!!

Friendly Conversation
Adam: What's wrong babe?
Me: She stopped talking to me.
Adam: What did you do to her?
Me: Nothing!! Nothing at all. Why would you assume I did something?
Adam: She never stops talking to me.
Me: I don't think she's ever going to talk to me again.
Adam: I think sometimes you hurt her feelings. You need to know how to handle her.
Me: She drives me crazy sometimes.
Adam: I wouldn't want to talk to you if you treated me that way sometimes either.
Me: I am nothing but nice to her.
Adam: Well, I really hope you guys can work it out. You know I love that girl, and if she doesn't ever talk to ME again, I am going to be pretty upset. I mean I don't know if I could live without her.
Me: Are you sleeping with her?

An ENTIRE conversation about the English speaking woman on our navigation system in the car.
We road tripped it with Adam yesterday to Greenville. We had this dreamy idea that we would get a hotel, take Aidan to run around ECU's campus, stop at every new county sign?? and take pictures. It ended up Adam got all his work done early so we just drove there and came home a few hours later. If anything, it was an incredible marriage tester that we made it through and Aidan finally pooped after three days of not. It was a grand time.

Keeping It Real...
So, I read this great blog. {RAGE against the MINIVAN}. It's written by an OC mom and she has four kids. One of which just came home from Haiti. Honestly, I love her blog because she well, keeps it real. So I decided I would participate in her first ever blog hop. Well I think it's the first ever anyways. She is encouraging us to keep it real. Which leads me to my post that I would never have shared with you otherwise. It was embarrassing enough the first time.
Two days ago, Aidan and I were at our home away from home (TJ Maxx where else) and we had just finished lunch. It's not really a secret that I'm addicted to Diet Pepsi and I had just finished a huge one. I had to use the ladies room sooooooo bad. We weren't in our neighborhood TJ Maxx so I stopped a saleswoman to ask her where the restroom was. "We don't have a public restroom but if you walk all the way to the corner of the Men's department there is a door that says EMPLOYEES ONLY, you can walk through there and it's the third door on the right". I thanked her and took off (legs crossed).
Mission accomplished we left the bathroom and headed back to our shopping cart that we left outside the door. When we got out there I was surprised at how many men (and there friends, brothers and uncles ) were shopping. The nice woman that directed us to the bathroom walked up and asked if I had found it. Before I could even get a word out Aidan screamed "Mom pooped". I am pretty sure every person in the store stopped to look up at me.
I thought about explaining that Aidan is being potty trained and he thinks everything is pooping and that was not actually what had occurred but then I thought "If I were these people I would consider that the world's worst cover up". So, I just tried to shake off my BODY BLUSH and continue my shopping (as the poop girl).

The Reality of Valentine's Day Around Here
I haven't ever really been a fan of Valentine's Day, because I have been the single girl before and honestly, it's not fun. Since I have been married to Adam though, he shows a lot of his love through buying me things. He isn't trying to buy my love (he has it no matter what) he just does better giving me gifts than he does just straight up telling me how much he loves me sometimes. Needless to say, we have had some pretty extravagant Valentine's the past few years. This year hasn't been as crazy and it did start off a little different.
Today, I woke up fighting with my Valentine. When he was leaving to get coffee this morning, I didn't even kiss him goodbye. I was just in a bad mood. I kept saying to myself over and over in my head, "You should be in a good mood because it's Valentine's Day" but really do I have to? I love my hubby everyday and we are going to be together FOREVER, I highly doubt every Valentine's Day is going to be perfect.
I was still grumpy when he came home with 2 dozen long stem roses that were gorgeous. Amanda picked me up and we headed to the mall for a couple hours of Aidan free shopping (which did us no good because he didn't get the big dressing rooms without him) and I was starting to come around by the time we got home.
Adam and I had agreed we weren't going to exchange anything this year so Aidan surprised me with the wine tower I have been wanting from Crate & Barrel and they both had super sweet cards for me and we just got home from dinner at Sullivan's.
It was a great day but honestly, I am so lucky to have a hubby who really is this good to me everyday. I know all of you have someone in your life that loves you today, they may not have been there to bring your flowers and take you to dinner, but everyone is loved and that's what the day is supposed to be all about. So happy Valentine's Day. I LOVE You all for reading my blog everyday!!! xoxoxoxo

Valentine's for Aidan's Class
I finally finished Aidan's Valentine's for his party at school tomorrow. We are going to decorate shoe boxes for Valentine's mailboxes (remember those days) and exchange. I think it will be a good time. That is if my child doesn't throw a fit because we are giving away what he currently believes to be all of his (MIIIIINNNNEEEE) Valentine's. I took some pictures to show you all. I think they turned out sweet.
Since you are probably wondering what's in the bags...They are snack size bags of Teddy Grahams.
The tags say "A Bag Full of Bear Hugs, Happy Valentine's Day. Love, Aidan". The opposite side has each child's name on it. I tied them with some red ric rac ribbon and added a heart ring.
And just because...A picture of the cutest kid EVER.
