Another one bites the dust...in other words, GETTING HITCHED!

Watch out New Orleans....Truitt & Shelley are getting hitched in the Dirty Dirty and we're all coming along!!

One of the most common questions that people ask me now is "aren't you getting too old for all of these weddings that you attend every weekend?"  Well the answer is No, not at all.  A lot of the time I feel as though they forget that I too am unwed and still have a wedding to plan one day.  Yes, I am 28 and almost 29; however, the Lord has not blessed me with marriage so I'm content the way my life is at the moment.  I have to remind myself that he has a plan for each of us and my "time" has not arrived yet but one day it will...in HIS time, not mine. 

With all of that being said, I LOVE attending my friend's special days and can't wait for them to be apart of mine one day!  So this weekend will be dedicated to one of my dear and special college friends, Truitt Taylor and his precious future wife to be, Shelley Segrest.  They will be married in the ever-so-fun city of New Orleans.  I cannot wait to spend time with college friends and celebrate their future.  So off to NOLA this weekend for a fun time, great memories and coming back to Jackson on Sunday with another married friend.  Congrats to Truitt and Shelley...you never saw this day coming when you were younger and look at you now!  Another friend bits the dust.....out of our crew, Brad and Maren are up next!

Definitely a Daddy's Girl!

I would like to wish my sweet dad and best friend a very Happy Father's Day.  This man is the most important man (besides GOD) in my life and I cannot imagine having a different one. He is everything that I hope to have in a husband and if you do not know him, you should.  As I grow older, I realize how much this man truly loves me and would do ANYTHING for his "baby big girl."  GOD truly blessed me with a one of a kind, loving and AWESOME dad!  Ricky Stockton is a man of GOD, strong Christian who enstalled the same values in us (his children,) a hard worker, dedicated and true friend, inspirational, goofy as all get out, the worst (and painful) tickler (which I hate but he loves,) the BEST RiRi to his grandpups, a provider for his family and even us grown kids, a wonderful husband to my mother, would give anyone the shirt off of his back and most importantly, a loving and caring father who loves his family unconditionally.  When my daddy hurts or I see him hurt, it makes me hurt!  The older I get, the more I come to understand his reasonsing behind everything he says and does.  I've always been a daddy's girl and will continue to be until the day I die.  Daddy, I hate that I missed spending this special day with you, but please know how much I love you!!!  Happy Father's Day from your grown, still unwed, spoiled, big baby, queen of it all, loving Daughter #1!

Another Upcoming Wedding for a Happy Couple

I know that I have been out of the loop in the blogging world and have lots of catching up to do. Here's just a quick shout out to two of my close and dear friends, Brad and Maren, who got engaged on Wednesday night. Brad proposed in front of the Chapel of Memories on MSU's campus. The three of us have made so many fun memories and I cannot wait until their big day and all of the days leading up to it! Congrats to the happy couple....the third musketeer and tag-a-long could not be any happier for you!!!
