Where has the time gone????





































It seems like yesterday that we were planning a family vacation to Florida and that was last June - so I guess I need to update my blog and fast to catch up on all the news, happenings and events!!!
We traveled to Satellite Beach Florida in June for a 2 week family vacation. I drove everything we would need for 2 weeks to Florida and everyone else flew. The little ones did great on the plane - and they had 2 additional trips that we hadn't accounted for as well. Unfortunately, Amanda's Father-in-law passed away just as we arrived so we came home and then went back. In hindsight, I guess God knew we were going to need two weeks because this is the first time I have ever planned a 2 week vacation. Nonetheless, we went, the babies had a blast, and we all loved having everyone under one roof - so much fun and the ocean is our favorite place to be. My cousin's wife and daughter from Georgia came down for a few days and also my friend from Orlando visited for the day and her husband and son joined us for dinner one night. We had a wonderful and relaxing time. My girls and hubbys took the 2 little girls to disney for the day and had a blast. Tessa and Isabella never miss a week telling me that they want to go back to the beach house. And this June, we'll do it again, but a different location each time - I love making memories with my family!!

About Me

My photo
I have the most amazing family and spend most of my time with them. I have twin daughters who are 32. They have given me Tessa age 4, Isabella age 3, Harrison who is 2 and Pierce Hayden who is 5 months. I also have 3 step children who have blessed me with Heath and Heather - who are almost 14, Bailey who is 13, Alyssa who is 7, Greyson who is 5 and Tinsley who is 5 months. I am a blessed Gigi!! I am a builder of custom homes and have a subdivision that I am developing, I have a Nashville vacation rental that keeps me hopping, I recently took on a beautiful new position editing and proofreading for a speaker/book writer with Psalms 31 Ministries, I am also editing a book for a beautiful Christian friend who is about ready to publish her first book, I am working diligently for the next Congressman for the 5th District in Tennessee and just recently have started campaigning for a family member who is running as an independent for the Governor of Tennessee. I travel a lot with my husband and find my most satisfying position in life is as a daughter to my amazing Mom and as Gigi to my beautiful "little people"!! Life couldn't be more busy, crazy and chaotic - and I love it!!
