I'd like to invite you join me in a challenge to get healthier! This is a GREAT opportunity for you to change at least one aspect of your health you're wanting to make a difference in. For me, it's to lose a few pounds. But there's more to it than that. Depending on what you would like to improve (lose weight, gain energy, perform better), there are products designed to cater to what you need! Your overall health and wellness will change for the better upon usage of these inexpensive delicious products over the next 84 days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's called the "e84 Challenge!" Want to join me in my challenge??? I've been doing this for a week now, and folks have asked me if I have lost weight! To tell you the truth, I'm not sure because I don't own a scale! Guess that will be my next purchase :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Learn how to EVOLV your health &amp;amp;/or wealth...

But once it got here, it was gone faster than I can say yakahikamikadola! Our long weekend getaway (10/8 - 10/11) is a thing of the past. But it is forever imprinted on my heart. That's exactly what Seaside does to me - makes impressions and pulls on my heart strings. We had a quaint &lt;a href="http://www.vrbo.com/221553"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;house on Savannah Street&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, three short blocks from the Town Square (or as I call it, the "horseshoe" because of its shape). I took too many pictures, but I will share a few of my handyworks. I can tell you this... I won't be waiting another 19 months before we make our next Seaside trip. March 2009 until October 2010 is way tooooo long. I'm going to reminisce now...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/TLjz0I8EdGI/AAAAAAAAANw/UsotnXN3ymw/s1600/seaside+cottages.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528436619675464802" style="FLOAT: left;

She saved a few pics on there for me so that I could later email them to myself. Well, I just got around to doing it today... a few months later. This is a photo of the beautiful *and romantic* sunset during our one-year anniversary dinner at &lt;a href="http://www.watercolorresort.com/resort_dining.aspx"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fish Out of Water Restaurant&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;in Seaside/Water Color, taken March 15, 2009. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I will share a little about our experience at the restaurant. I was working at Sweet Grass Dairy at the time of our vacation. I knew the head chef Phil Krajeck since he always bought cheese from us. I told him ahead of time that Jason and I were coming and told of how excited I was to be able to sample his cuisine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;When Jason and I arrived at the restaurant, a gentleman named Jay welcomed us. Before I even told him my name, he asked, "Are you Mrs. Beggs?" That caught me off guard a bit, but I just figured that the restaurant crew was on top of their reservation list. Jay then preceded to ask me and Jason if it was okay for us NOT to order off the regular menu... because Chef Phil wanted to cook several courses for us as he pleased. How were we to turn down this offer? We agreed to this wonderful request. We were seated and greeted by our waitor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After sitting at the table (window front... beautiful, large window front, might I add) for only a few minutes, lo and behold, Chef Phil came walking around the corner! I was so pleased to see him because I know how busy restaurant kitchens can be. Phil was very welcoming and pleased to have us, especially on mine and Jason's one year anniversary. He could only chat for a couple of minutes before he had to get back in there to work his culinary magic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;And magic it was! Course after course after course, all things local, organic, fresh, and delicious! It was really neat to watch Jason enjoy this type of food. It was his first time in a restaurant like this. (Not to boast, but I have had a little more experience with great restaurants due to traveling and dining while working for Sweet Grass Dairy.) It has been over a year since we were there, and I hope to get to dine there again soon. Next time, I won't tell Chef Phil that we're coming. Jason and I felt like royalty the whole three hours we were there. I made sure to send Phil and crew a thank you letter once I got back home. I felt so undeserving. Jason and I will never forget that experience. (Apparently not, since I'm just now writing about it over a year later!) THANKS, CHEF PHIL!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6426319871626285028-2335372156799867858?l=beggsblogs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beggsblogs.blogspot.com/feeds/2335372156799867858/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6426319871626285028&amp;postID=2335372156799867858' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6426319871626285028/posts/default/2335372156799867858'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6426319871626285028/posts/default/2335372156799867858'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beggsblogs.blogspot.com/2010/08/i-found-this-pic-on-jasons-old-cell.html' title='One Year Anniversary Dinner'/><author><name>Beggs Blogs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03472316041866477913</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SYUDpCr4L3I/AAAAAAAAACI/0FayeuenyLU/S220/beach+wedding+walk.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/THhS3M-Cu0I/AAAAAAAAANQ/vBsE7xS31oI/s72-c/anniversary+sunset+3-15-09.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6426319871626285028.post-364362681262403334</id><published>2010-08-18T20:08:00.018-04:00</published><updated>2010-08-18T21:35:30.582-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Two Weeks Remaining to Vote, Vote, Vote!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/TGyIQqt3YeI/AAAAAAAAAMw/8KKRFXbdtRc/s1600/lp+big+HOUSE.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506926264293220834" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 193px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/TGyIQqt3YeI/AAAAAAAAAMw/8KKRFXbdtRc/s320/lp+big+HOUSE.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vote, Vote, Vote, Goat, Coat, Boat. Makes no sense, but let me tell ya what DOES make sense. Okay, so Thomasville is pretty much amazing. Now that we have this established, I would like to elaborate a little on a specific historic home in Thomasville that is also uhhh-mazing. It's called the Lapham-Patterson House, and it happens to be classified as one of Georgia's State Parks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here's the deal... the LP House needs YOUR help. How so, you may be asking yourself. It has recently been shut down and closed to the public due to much needed repairs but not enough funds. Here is where you come in... &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livepositively.com/#/home"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Coca-Cola&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; has graciously set aside $100,000 to the state park in the US that gets the most votes on their website. About a week ago, I believe, the LP House was in third place!!! But the past few days have left me biting my nails since it dropped down to fifth place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may be wondering why I care so much about this dang campaign. Well, to tell you the truth, I can't pinpoint any particular reason. But I do know this, it is one of Thomasville's treasures. It needs our help. And I want to help however I can. If you feel like you would also like to help, here is how to do so. &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.livepositively.com/#/americasparks"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc00;"&gt;Click this link and vote&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc00;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;as many times as you please until August 31st. If you would like to learn more about the Lapham-Patterson House, &lt;a href="http://www.gastateparks.org/lapham"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;check out this website&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Thanks for hearing me out. Now go vote.  (p.s.

Looks like I'll be testing the waters there for a long weekend in October. I've never been to the beach in Fall, so here's to trying something new. The past few years my husband and I have gone to Seaside, it's been in early Spring. (Well, I take that back. I went in the summer one time with my family.) I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the weather in October will equivalate our previous trips always taken in March.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe I will share a few pictures of our weekend getaway house, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;Snail's Pace.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/TFqy0B4R-mI/AAAAAAAAALg/ry4Wi5Aakm8/s1600/house.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

This can only be done through extended porch-sitting, leisurely strolling and sharing time with those you care most about in a way that late-20th-century urban existence rarely allows."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6426319871626285028-8046366392850065789?l=beggsblogs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beggsblogs.blogspot.com/feeds/8046366392850065789/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6426319871626285028&amp;postID=8046366392850065789' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6426319871626285028/posts/default/8046366392850065789'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6426319871626285028/posts/default/8046366392850065789'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beggsblogs.blogspot.com/2010/07/quoted-from-seaside-institutes-website.html' title='Seaside on my mind?'/><author><name>Beggs Blogs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03472316041866477913</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SYUDpCr4L3I/AAAAAAAAACI/0FayeuenyLU/S220/beach+wedding+walk.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/TFNuZ3VaEcI/AAAAAAAAAKw/uKC4IX1Knu0/s72-c/seaside.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6426319871626285028.post-6000990925857611113</id><published>2010-07-29T11:31:00.010-04:00</published><updated>2010-07-29T14:17:17.183-04:00</updated><title type='text'>More of my big dreams</title><content type='html'>I have mentioned this before, that I would really LURRVE to own some real estate at the beach, specifically on Florida's beautiful Emerald Coast. But not just any part of the Emerald Coast, the spectacular stretch between Panama City &amp;amp; Destin called Highway 30-A... where the pace is a little slower than its larger counterparts, the water seems bluer, the beach communities are more colorful, and the people choose bicycles over vehicles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Georgia cities map timeline can be viewed as follows.

Aunt Amy and Uncle Phil arranged for Granny Lou's Crew to spend the long weekend at one of their favorite vacation spots in Panama City Beach called the Shores of Panama. The Smiths &amp;amp; Subicas from Laurel, MS made the trek. The Lloyds &amp;amp; Stokes from middle Georgia made it down. The Lowerys and Thomases from Waycross took the trip. And of course, the Beggs from Thomasville were raring to get there. Although we all had a major blast, it would have been 100x better if one more family member could have made it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were 19 of us present, and we all somehow managed to take a decent picture of ourselves. But there was a visible gap in the photo that was not noticed until the picture was developed. That spot, I determined, was meant to be for that missing family member, Bradley.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After chatting with my cuz tonight on Skype, we decided to add his photoshopped image in that gap. See the before and after pictures below.

We are getting the final touches together for the &lt;a href="http://www.downtownthomasville.com/?page_id=23"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;89th Annual Rose Show &amp;amp; Festival&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; taking place this weekend. Being that this is my first big event I'm working with my new job, I feel a little bit of added pressure as I try to make sure I ace it. But with the weather warming up and the bright springy garb reappearing in the forefront of my closet, I oft find myself fancying in all things bright, cheery, &amp;amp; afar. Let's call it "Lulu's Dream Land," aka - vacations, future real estate, cute play toys, and shopping. Here's a look into my recent heart's desires...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Absolute Dream Vacation... &lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bora Bora&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S85S6ORYrTI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/NY20g7AB2Cg/s1600/Bora-Bora.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462394558263897394" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 158px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S85S6ORYrTI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/NY20g7AB2Cg/s200/Bora-Bora.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream Real Estate... &lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#00cccc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seaside, FL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; - my honeymoon grounds&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S85TVpH3SJI/AAAAAAAAAJY/it9dXXeHPME/s1600/seaside.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462395029328185490" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 135px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S85TVpH3SJI/AAAAAAAAAJY/it9dXXeHPME/s200/seaside.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fabulous Play Toys... &lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pink Smart Car&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lilly Pulitzer Bike&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S85UMXZm23I/AAAAAAAAAJw/DxJDjFgli_Q/s1600/pink+smart+car.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462395969463573362" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 193px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 137px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S85UMXZm23I/AAAAAAAAAJw/DxJDjFgli_Q/s200/pink+smart+car.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S85VauMVcYI/AAAAAAAAAKA/JiF2GyMTTgo/s1600/lilly+bike.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462397315611718018" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 133px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S85VauMVcYI/AAAAAAAAAKA/JiF2GyMTTgo/s200/lilly+bike.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Latest Eye Candy...

I won't be cutting the cheese much longer. Thursday January 28th I resigned from one of the coolest places on earth, Sweet Grass Dairy. What are you thinking, Lulu?!?!? I &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S2eBErggZwI/AAAAAAAAAIs/mvqUNKTgNYU/s1600-h/serenbe.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433453392844318466" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S2eBErggZwI/AAAAAAAAAIs/mvqUNKTgNYU/s200/serenbe.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;know, I know. But I feel that the time is right, and the time is NOW. After almost three amazing years at the dairy, I will be changing directions in my career as I move on over to Downtown Thomasville Main Street office. Yep, I'm gonna be a Main Street Girl... a.k.a. Main Street Huzzy, as I saw on a random Facebook photo. And I couldn't be more excited!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It all happened in a whirlwind! I'll give you my story in a nutshell... a rather large nutshell. For the past 2-3 weeks, I have been feeling a little less than thrilled about going to work. There have been some organizational changes at the dairy that have left me doing &lt;em&gt;more&lt;/em&gt; left brain stuff and &lt;em&gt;less&lt;/em&gt; right brain stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I decided I would keep my options open, so I piddled around a little on a couple of websites casually looking for a job that would catch my eye. Nothing did, so I stopped searching. That was a short-lived search.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S2eBVR5jsgI/AAAAAAAAAI0/KXKO8CZv2rY/s1600-h/downtowntville.gif"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433453678027846146" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 65px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S2eBVR5jsgI/AAAAAAAAAI0/KXKO8CZv2rY/s200/downtowntville.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;One night, it was Wednesday January 20th to be exact, I decided I was going to email the director of Downtown Thomasville Main Street, Mrs. Karen. I knew all but one of the girls who worked up there. Those girls always seemed to have fun with anything they were doing. I knew these ladies through events I did with the dairy... farmers markets, Chamber Business After Hours, Chamber Voice of Our Members, and other events. I knew one girl had recently left (We miss you Katie) but they had already hired a replacement for her (Welcome back to Thomasville Megan). I was going to give it a shot and ask the director to keep me in mind for any openings they may have in the future. I sent the email that night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Within the hour, Mrs. Karen called my cell phone. Some of the first words that came out of her mouth were, "You are not going to believe this, but you have been on my mind for the past three weeks!" (Mouth dropped) She went on to say that less than 2 weeks prior, they decided to &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S2eB2gkrbZI/AAAAAAAAAI8/ysu9dKREcII/s1600-h/broad+sign.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433454248902487442" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 163px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S2eB2gkrbZI/AAAAAAAAAI8/ysu9dKREcII/s200/broad+sign.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;merge two part time positions into one full-time person. The Main Street Coordinator Alison decided to leave her position to move into that new full-time position that has just been created. That left Alison's spot open. (Mouth dropped even further.) Hallelujah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Karen then proceeded to tell me that when she first met me about 2 years ago when I was working a Farmers Market she was heading up downtown, that she would love for "that fiery little redhead to work for her." She said ever since Alison's position became available, she wanted to get in contact with me, but didn't know how to go about it without stepping on anyone's toes or causing some riff raff. My email was the perfect opportunity for her to contact me. God's timing is the best timing if we're obedient and trust in Him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S2d1T91JAaI/AAAAAAAAAIc/Xp9x1UrlI2s/s1600-h/broad+street.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433440461321208226" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 144px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S2d1T91JAaI/AAAAAAAAAIc/Xp9x1UrlI2s/s200/broad+street.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Towards the end of our phone conversation that night, she asked me if I could meet up with her one day at the beginning of the next week so we could talk brass tacks and business. A mutually convenient time turned out to be Tuesday January 26th. Right after I got off the phone with Karen, Jason and I had special prayer. During the prayer, I felt a certain peace about everything. Jason mentioned in his prayer about all of this being a "divine appointment," and I truly believe it is!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuesday came, and I met up with Karen at her office right after I got off work that day. We sat, talked, shared, laughed, and I got the tour of the office. I left that night being so excited. When I got home, Jason and I discussed everything further. We prayed more and marinated in all of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day, I told Karen to count me in. I know it is what I'm supposed to do. It was pretty clear. And it's rare that moments like this come to me. I had to jump on it. Karen was excited, too. It was all in the air.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shortly thereafter, my excitement turned into great concern. I was concerned about how my uppers at the dairy were going to handle this. Would they be happy for me and send me off with their blessing? Or would they be less than thrilled? I was prepared for it all. I wrote up my two weeks resignation letter... nervous as a jitter bug.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S2d0uhopeYI/AAAAAAAAAIU/3y4baIWkzF8/s1600-h/welcome+note.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433439818097457538" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S2d0uhopeYI/AAAAAAAAAIU/3y4baIWkzF8/s200/welcome+note.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I went in to work that Thursday January 28th, and first thing... I had to get it off my chest and tell my manager/Director of Operations of the dairy, Karen. (Yes- two Karens) She and I are very close. She's a true loving friend that really cares. I was really concerned about how she would take it. She took it better than I thought. Although she and I balled our eyes out, she was very supportive and proud of me. She's behind me 110%, as I knew she would be, deep down in my heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, I had to tell the owner of the dairy, Jeremy. He's not too much on showing emotion in front of his employees... so I was really interested (actually, scared) to see his reaction after I broke the news. I shed a tear or two (quite embarrassing). He told me he was happy for me. He said, "You've got to look out for number one." Phhewww.... Thank goodness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S2eDtxoyDYI/AAAAAAAAAJE/A3f37CNwXQw/s1600-h/pray.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433456297887534466" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 157px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S2eDtxoyDYI/AAAAAAAAAJE/A3f37CNwXQw/s200/pray.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Just so you know, I had a group of prayer warriors praying for me this whole time. The past week and a half has proved to be an emotional roller coaster for me. Just ask Jason. This amount of support and love that has been shown to me this past week and a half has really made me appreciate my family and friends even more. I am truly blessed, and I know all of this is happening because of God's love for me. He knew I was ready for a change, so He put a little bug in my ear to email the Main Street Director, which in turn caused her to call me when she was apprehensive. She would not have called me had I not emailed her. We just don't know what God has in store for our lives unless we listen to that still small voice. It's all about listening and then being obedient. It's not faith until you walk in it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone who knows me well knows that this new job is right up my alley. Be prepared fo&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S2d3Qgh0cBI/AAAAAAAAAIk/FBE_SgVjPHc/s1600-h/huzziespopo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433442600939188242" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 133px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S2d3Qgh0cBI/AAAAAAAAAIk/FBE_SgVjPHc/s200/huzziespopo.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;r more blogs to come on how this new adventure in my life is going. I hope this reading has opened your eyes to the fact that, yes, God looks out for us. He loves us. He cares for us, and He wants the best for us. We just need to keep Him first in our lives. Everything else will fall into place.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6426319871626285028-6252837600014326126?l=beggsblogs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beggsblogs.blogspot.com/feeds/6252837600014326126/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6426319871626285028&amp;postID=6252837600014326126' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6426319871626285028/posts/default/6252837600014326126'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6426319871626285028/posts/default/6252837600014326126'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beggsblogs.blogspot.com/2010/02/some-would-call-me-crazy.html' title='Some would call me crazy...'/><author><name>Beggs Blogs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03472316041866477913</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SYUDpCr4L3I/AAAAAAAAACI/0FayeuenyLU/S220/beach+wedding+walk.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S2eBErggZwI/AAAAAAAAAIs/mvqUNKTgNYU/s72-c/serenbe.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6426319871626285028.post-4023779218469490937</id><published>2010-01-14T13:23:00.008-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-14T13:35:56.620-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='goat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='goat cheese'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sweet Grass Dairy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dairy'/><title type='text'>Where's All the Goat Cheese?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S09iQHlJoQI/AAAAAAAAAIM/h7irVb9XYxw/s1600-h/5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426664105057034498" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 231px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 171px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S09iQHlJoQI/AAAAAAAAAIM/h7irVb9XYxw/s400/5.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Since I am the non-official "cheese girl" to my family and friends, I get asked a lot of questions about goats, cheese, and things of the sort. In recent days, I have been asked a lot why we have few to zilch goat's milk cheeses available at the dairy now. The answer is simple... I will direct you to a news article I posted today on the Sweet Grass Dairy website. Jessica Little, co-owner of the dairy, and I wrote this up to share the knowledge with all of our fabulous customers. Enjoy...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Goat Cheese Limitations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;January 14, 2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;We get a lot of questions from our customers about the availability of our goat cheeses. Before we are able to produce goat cheeses, there is a series of events that must first take place. We would like to share what goes on behind the scenes before production can begin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each summer, we bring in a few new male goats called bucks. These bucks mate with our 150 or so females in August, September and October, hence providing us with future Sweet Grass Dairy milkers. The gestation period for a goat is approximately five months. So between the end of January and March, we have precious little kids everywhere. Just before kidding season (November, December, and January), we give our goats a vacation from milking. This ensures that the animals will be happy, healthy, and well-rested before they start kidding out in winter. What this means for us, is no goat’s milk. And in turn, meaning no goat cheese production for the three or so months we are not milking. We believe in following the natural cycles of the goats and not manipulating their lactation by use of hormones or lights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luckily, when it comes to our aged goat’s milk cheeses, we normally do have a supply of these when we’re out of our younger, softer varieties. The milk that was taken from the goats during their peak production in the summer months has been made into cheese that has been aging in our coolers, making our harder, aged varieties ready when the winter months are in full swing. Some of these cheeses include the Holly Springs, Kelle's Blue, and the mixed-milk cheese Hopeful Tomme.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you see, our cycle of events proves to be beneficial to our animals but at the same time frustrating to those of us who could eat Fresh Chevre, Georgia Pecan Chevre, Lumiere, and so on… all year long! Each spring gives us something to look forward to—fresh and delicious soft goat’s milk cheeses! And of course, we don’t mind watching the baby goats frolicking and bouncing around the dairy grounds as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When spring rolls around and Sweet Grass Dairy is full of new life, we would love to welcome you to share with us the joy that the babies and seasonal cheeses bring. We greatly appreciate your interest in our farm and our practices, and hope you get a chance to visit us at the farm and our Marketplace soon! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6426319871626285028-4023779218469490937?l=beggsblogs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beggsblogs.blogspot.com/feeds/4023779218469490937/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6426319871626285028&amp;postID=4023779218469490937' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6426319871626285028/posts/default/4023779218469490937'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6426319871626285028/posts/default/4023779218469490937'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beggsblogs.blogspot.com/2010/01/wheres-all-goat-cheese.html' title='Where&apos;s All the Goat Cheese?'/><author><name>Beggs Blogs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03472316041866477913</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SYUDpCr4L3I/AAAAAAAAACI/0FayeuenyLU/S220/beach+wedding+walk.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/S09iQHlJoQI/AAAAAAAAAIM/h7irVb9XYxw/s72-c/5.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6426319871626285028.post-2099307502229466787</id><published>2009-09-19T18:21:00.043-04:00</published><updated>2009-09-19T22:56:16.468-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='downtown'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='toscoga'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='market'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='antique'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shop'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Thomasville'/><title type='text'>First Time Antiquer</title><content type='html'>Today, Jason and I have lived in our house for one year... our first house we have ever built, but not to be the last! To celebrate, while Jason stayed home watching college football, I decided to go downtown Thomasville to buy stuff to help fill up our empty walls and windows. My mission included buying window treatments for at least one of the windows AND some sort of wall art to go above a new console table we bought a few weeks ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I bought none of the above. I did however find my way into one of Thomasville's largest antique shops, Toscoga Market. The first floor itself was overwhelming, then the proprietor told me that there were TWO more floors above me, boasting an extra 10,000 square feet! I looked at my watch, and the proprietor and I realized that I had 45 mintues to shop before the store closed. She sent me on my way with a shopping bucket in hand and a smile of approval after learning it was my first time in her shop. And I was off!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the first things that caught my eye was this fabulous, simply fabulous, chair with black and cream damask fabric. What girl doesn't love damask?!?! And the price tag was to die for... $98! I took a picture of it with my cell phone so I could send a viewing to Jason for his approval... but sadly, my email decided to quit working. If I would have bought that without Jason's approval first, then he probably would have put me on shopping restriction. And no one wants to be on shopping restriction! I thought it in my best interest to let that good buy slide by... at least for now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SrVb31gvgNI/AAAAAAAAAHg/NzrimrqHR3g/s1600-h/chair.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383309944406638802" style="WIDTH: 302px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SrVb31gvgNI/AAAAAAAAAHg/NzrimrqHR3g/s400/chair.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After being a tiny bit saddened by my smart move, I quickly became thrilled with my next find. I have a thing for intricate details on glassware, especially when it happens to be my favorite color. I saw several mis-matched glass tumblers, water stemware, and tea glasses. There was not enough of each one to make a full set. So I decided to mix and match to get just four. I can always go back to add to my collection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With four glasses happily dinging one another in my shopping bucket, something else with sparkles and glitz made me turn my head. I have always thought that crystal ring holders were classy, and I believe I even registered for one on my wedding registry. All the years of my life, I have never owned one. I picked up the beautiful piece of crystal, and to my surprise, that $5 price tag made it even more appealing. There was no contemplation in my head about whether or not to buy it. As far as I was concerned, it was already mine. I added it to my bucket, ever so gingerly, along with my other breakables.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this point, I was pleased as punch and on my way down to the bottom floor to check out. But... uh oh... one more sparkly thing got my attention. How do I begin to describe this jewel of a find? First off, it's a mirror. Okay, but the detail in this oldy goldy is nothing short of immaculate. It looked as though it came straight out of a European Cathedral or even a Tibetan Monastary. Small in size, and in price at just $24, I knew I could find the perfect spot for it in my house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pheewww! Can you believe I came in under $50? At the checkout, the proprieter congratulated me for my fabulous finds. (I'm not sure if I've ever been congratulated for shopping!) She said I did pretty dang good for it being my first time there. And, I managed to do all this 15 minutes before closing time. That's right, in just half a hour!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's hope my husband is as proud of me as I am of myself! Luckily enough, when I got home, he surely was. Another Pheewww! Now it's time for some show-and-tell! (I already did the telling, so here is just the showing.) Check out my fabulous finds...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SrVd7MCCKLI/AAAAAAAAAHo/x24DAhu3njs/s1600-h/green+glasses.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383312201014716594" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SrVd7MCCKLI/AAAAAAAAAHo/x24DAhu3njs/s400/green+glasses.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SrV46BvbqUI/AAAAAAAAAHw/X8i_Yr78SYg/s1600-h/LAURA1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383341867886422338" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SrV46BvbqUI/AAAAAAAAAHw/X8i_Yr78SYg/s400/LAURA1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SrWSNyvogMI/AAAAAAAAAIA/V5XoOZI4U9o/s1600-h/ring.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383369695248810178" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SrWSNyvogMI/AAAAAAAAAIA/V5XoOZI4U9o/s400/ring.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SrV46iRPXWI/AAAAAAAAAH4/IJcj6ElvGYc/s1600-h/LAURA2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383341876618157410" style="WIDTH: 302px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SrV46iRPXWI/AAAAAAAAAH4/IJcj6ElvGYc/s400/LAURA2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6426319871626285028-2099307502229466787?l=beggsblogs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beggsblogs.blogspot.com/feeds/2099307502229466787/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6426319871626285028&amp;postID=2099307502229466787' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6426319871626285028/posts/default/2099307502229466787'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6426319871626285028/posts/default/2099307502229466787'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beggsblogs.blogspot.com/2009/09/first-time-antiquer.html' title='First Time Antiquer'/><author><name>Beggs Blogs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03472316041866477913</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SYUDpCr4L3I/AAAAAAAAACI/0FayeuenyLU/S220/beach+wedding+walk.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SrVb31gvgNI/AAAAAAAAAHg/NzrimrqHR3g/s72-c/chair.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6426319871626285028.post-811440664073299313</id><published>2009-04-08T09:41:00.016-04:00</published><updated>2009-04-08T10:11:55.222-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Church softball proves to be something I'm totally into.</title><content type='html'>My husband grew up living and breathing baseball... from being a tiny tyke up to college baseball! Since we started dating after he had "retired" from baseball, all I got to hear about was just the stories and memories with a a few pictures here and there. I know how much it means to Jason and how much he misses it... especially since he'll sit hours at a time glued to a baseball game on tv.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the opportunity came up at our church for there to be a church softball team where all the surrounding churches in the Thomasville area would play against each other. I'm sure most cities do this. It's the thing to do for towns with a ton of guys and gals who love the sport, but all of their baseball-playing opportunitues have been exhausted due to growing up or what have you. Thank goodness for the local churches who band together to afford our sportsmen the chance to get back into the "swing" of things! It's a great way to let our friends and family regain and reuse their competetive spirit in a healthy way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jason has attended several practices and three games so far. He didn't want me to attend the first game of his, as he was a bit nervous as to how it would turn out. (I think he didn't want to be embarrassed since he hasn't played in years.) But he did want me to come to the 2nd game. So I loaded up my blanket, jackets, water bottle, game face, and camera phone and headed to that game on Monday April 6, 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It turns out that there was a game that next night, but at 9:00pm... in the extremely cold weather! I wasn't going to let that stop me since I had so much fun the night before, and I wanted to show Jason and the rest of the team my support. Below are a few pictures from both Monday and Tuesday nights (in backward orders). GOOOO TEAM NEW COVENANT!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Just so you know-- They won Monday night 13 to 8 against First Pres. but lost Tuesday night against Ione Freewill Baptist... not mentioning the score.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Throughout the whole process, I am beginning to learn something about myself. I am learning that I am getting to be very protective and competetive when it comes to my man. I can only imagine how it's going to be when we start having children and I'm cheering THEM on from the fans. Y'all watch out... that crazy redheaded lady is in the stands!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SdyuRqyetfI/AAAAAAAAAGo/VXqwqrfAzJ0/s1600-h/10.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322320478212109810" style="DISPLAY: block;

We just got back a couple of days ago from celebrating our anniversary at the beach. We went to Seagrove Beach, FL... one of our favorite new vacation spots. And that just so happens to be the place we honeymooned one year ago. Our stay lasted from Saturday March 14th through Thursday March 19th. Five fabulous nights on Florida's Emerald Coast... aaahhhhhh! I'm hooked on that beach now.  I think we should get some real estate on that famed Scenic Route Highway 30-A, whose motto happens to be "Life Shines." My life was surely shining this past week. Let me let you in on a few moments, all of which were captured with my not-so-sharp Blackberry phone camera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/ScVB33s-obI/AAAAAAAAAEY/T0X0eLkEuoQ/s1600-h/beach15.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315727363281953202" style="DISPLAY: block;

December was a dooooozy! Two huge events going on at work: Opening of new retail shop AND Holiday Gift Boxes shipping out! The Dairy was very busy, needless to say.  Here are a couple pictures of the new shop called Sweet Grass Dairy Marketplace.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SWoy5fbmvwI/AAAAAAAAABk/9Pbs7ZmeMUw/s1600-h/shop+1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290096675571285762" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SWoy5fbmvwI/AAAAAAAAABk/9Pbs7ZmeMUw/s320/shop+1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;   &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SWozCVnZ85I/AAAAAAAAABs/OAGLAjyCHQY/s1600-h/shop+2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290096827555246994" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SWozCVnZ85I/AAAAAAAAABs/OAGLAjyCHQY/s320/shop+2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Happy New Year! For the holidays, the Smiths, Lloyds, Stokes, Subicas, &amp;amp; Beggs went to Waycross for the annual Christmas Gathering. This was the first time with a new baby addition to the mix... Carter Stokes! He was a JOY! He knew exactly how to keep the crowd going by making HULK impressions. Here are funny pictures of "Carter the Hulk."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SWo0rY0xClI/AAAAAAAAAB0/AMKVxrIrEiI/s1600-h/carter+1.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290098632302856786" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SWo0rY0xClI/AAAAAAAAAB0/AMKVxrIrEiI/s320/carter+1.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;   &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SWo04Cb5-XI/AAAAAAAAAB8/bcZkPegRLq4/s1600-h/carter+2.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290098849631304050" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SWo04Cb5-XI/AAAAAAAAAB8/bcZkPegRLq4/s320/carter+2.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6426319871626285028-7243754253429976963?l=beggsblogs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beggsblogs.blogspot.com/feeds/7243754253429976963/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6426319871626285028&amp;postID=7243754253429976963' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6426319871626285028/posts/default/7243754253429976963'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6426319871626285028/posts/default/7243754253429976963'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beggsblogs.blogspot.com/2009/01/two-months-later.html' title='Two Months Later'/><author><name>Beggs Blogs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03472316041866477913</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SYUDpCr4L3I/AAAAAAAAACI/0FayeuenyLU/S220/beach+wedding+walk.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SWoy5fbmvwI/AAAAAAAAABk/9Pbs7ZmeMUw/s72-c/shop+1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6426319871626285028.post-873032592011025664</id><published>2008-11-08T19:11:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-11-08T20:30:58.072-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bonfire'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wedding'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chili'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='football'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jeremy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='birthday'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='big oak'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jason'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Thomasville'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Broad'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cristina'/><title type='text'>Lots of Fun Stuff</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Oh boy, has this been a fun weekend for me and Jason!

Aileen made chili, and Julian made a bonfire. We took the chili out to the bonfire and ate it while sitting by the fire on blankets. We took Ethan's play pen out there so he could safely be out by the fire with us. After we ate chili, we made smores! Mmmm Mmmm Good! Here are a couple of pictures from Friday night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SRY3CimfE8I/AAAAAAAAABE/xLsQKE-0aeg/s1600-h/IMG00173.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266457331043865538" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SRY3CimfE8I/AAAAAAAAABE/xLsQKE-0aeg/s320/IMG00173.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SRY3CeE2sII/AAAAAAAAAA8/5l4hgooDYqQ/s1600-h/IMG00162.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266457329829064834" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SRY3CeE2sII/AAAAAAAAAA8/5l4hgooDYqQ/s320/IMG00162.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Today at 3:30, our cousin Jeremy married Cristina at The Big Oak Tree in downtown Thomasville. It was beautiful, and the weather was perfect. I don't have any pictures of the married couple (like a dumwad), but I do have one of me and Jason (of course). The reception was at the jazzy Business Exchange building... the tallest building in Thomasville. The reception was on the top floor, so I was able to get some really neat pictures of Broad Street.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SRY4mfzWCHI/AAAAAAAAABM/SV0IiTnD3z0/s1600-h/Device+MemoryhomeuserpicturesIMG00178.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266459048279410802" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SRY4mfzWCHI/AAAAAAAAABM/SV0IiTnD3z0/s320/Device+MemoryhomeuserpicturesIMG00178.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SRY4ms186HI/AAAAAAAAABU/V5FtwOwKpQI/s1600-h/IMG00181.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266459051780008050" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SRY4ms186HI/AAAAAAAAABU/V5FtwOwKpQI/s320/IMG00181.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SRY4mgljcDI/AAAAAAAAABc/Cq13xhyhFdg/s1600-h/IMG00183.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266459048490004530" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SRY4mgljcDI/AAAAAAAAABc/Cq13xhyhFdg/s320/IMG00183.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Looking forward to another fun and fabulous week!

Today is a day between 2 bigs days: Yesterday was Election Day, and tomorrow is Jason's 25th birthday. The first is disheartening for me, and the latter is fun and fabulous. So I choose to write only about happy times in this blog. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;For his birthday, he wanted a particular shirt from Banana Republic, one of our favorite stores. I ordered the shirt he wanted, so it will hopefully get here soon. I believe he plans on getting a TV for our living room as well. I'm stoked because it's a birthday present not only to him, but to me too. Haha! It's the gift that keeps on giving.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tomorrow, we will have dinner at his dad and Marsha's home. Marsha said we'll probably grill out. The weather has been fabulous all week, and I hope tomorrow will be no exception. Jason and I actually grilled hamburgers tonight. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After dinner, I made Jason's favorite cookies... peanut butter cookies. I left them in the oven too long.  They are now hard, and the edges are crusty. Oh well, perhaps we'll have him a fabulous birthday cake tomorrow to make up for my baking boo boo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well, I guess I'll sign off for now. Thanks for reading my ramblings. I'll update soon. There's some change in the air at work, and I'm excited to write on it when it comes into fruition. Have a fabulous rest of your night, and have a great rest of your week.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you happen to read this tonight or tomorrow, be sure to tell Jason HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6426319871626285028-909382292329021040?l=beggsblogs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beggsblogs.blogspot.com/feeds/909382292329021040/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6426319871626285028&amp;postID=909382292329021040' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6426319871626285028/posts/default/909382292329021040'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6426319871626285028/posts/default/909382292329021040'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beggsblogs.blogspot.com/2008/11/lauras-1st-blog.html' title='Laura&apos;s 1st Blog'/><author><name>Beggs Blogs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03472316041866477913</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SYUDpCr4L3I/AAAAAAAAACI/0FayeuenyLU/S220/beach+wedding+walk.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FB_-bGo31B0/SRJNdfolMNI/AAAAAAAAAAU/s2_3pcz8WLM/s72-c/babycoffeecouch.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
