Hello

I'm still here!

Today is he first day I have had time to get on the computer...and I really should be cleaning my very m.e.s.s.y house! Our Christmas decorations are still up, our suitcases are still out from being at my parents for the Holidays, laundry needs to be put up, we desperately need to go to the grocery store, Deacon wants to wrap everything he can find and mail it to his Mimi & Pop-Pop {because he says we either do not need it any more or we have 2}, Ice Age is on for the 100th time, toys are every where, I need to mail frames this week, I have a show I need to get ready for in February, and Tristan started school today so we are back into a routine.

Here is a small recap of 2009:

{Tristan turned 8, Deacon turned 4, Griffin was born, beach, pool, Colorado, baseball, parks, school parties, plays, Abilene, Waco,...}

It is hard to believe I have already been home 1 semester from teaching. I have enjoyed every second being at home with my boys! My business has been a lot of fun and its amazing how much it has grown over the past 4 months. I have met so many talented women and had a blast doing shows.

Just Simply Southern in 2009:

{started blogging, opened etsy store, stopped teaching 1st grade, focused more on Just Simply Southern, blog had a big makeover, featured on these amazing websites: Nesting Place, The Lettered Cottage, Fabulous K, Her Southern Charm, Gussy, Deal Seaking Mom, It's So Cheri, The DIY Showoff, and The Design Girl. Participated in several shows: Junior League Christmas Show, Quiant Market Place, & a Barn Sale. Decorated several homes over the past 4 months. What a year!}

This year was filled with many blessings and memories that I will cherish forever!

Looking forward to 2010

Blessings,
