A-May-Zing Celebrations



Summary pic of my week in Denver! #Riskonnect is here. Sleeping in Target. Ben Stein. Elvis. Making Pizzas. Wendi & Kelly - my rocks! #RIMS2014 

RIMS 2014 was a huge success! And of course we had fun while we were at it! Being 7 weeks pregnant could have been really bad and I was expecting the worst but hoping for the best... I got the best! I didn't get sick and I wasn't OVERLY tired... I was still tired and couldn't take 5 hour energys to wake me up but I made it through! Luckily for me it was a pretty low key year... so I soaked it in! 

I was craving some sun! So I cut me up some watermelon, poured me an orange Ice water, put on my bathing suit, and headed to my back yard... and just sat there soaking in the rays! It was glorious! 

Will I be your bridesmaid? Do you even have to ask? YES! Love you @missmalpal32 lets do this!! 

Mallorie got engaged!!! Save the Date for Feb 7th... we have a wedding to do! 
The Stepfords!

Lilly Grace is officially spoiled! Her aunts already love her so much! 

We threw a baby shower for Jen & Lilly! Here are some pics from the day: 







All the Phi Mu's at the shower and the Baby Blanket I made Lilly Grace! 

So proud of my bestie @rachestan for graduating with her masters today!!! You are an inspiration! Love you! 

Rachel graduated with her masters from GSU! So proud of her! Steven and I went down to her house for a graduation party! I got her a little summer fun bucket... since it will basically be the first summer she will have off! And I made her a place for her to hang all of her race bibs! I got to see her do her first keg throw too... she's too tiny for that keg! 

Little Mothers Day gifts I made! It's chalkboard so they can change out the name, date, age, and picture as the months and years go on! 

My little lion! He is the cutest! #roar


I wanted the ice cream man to come to my office and @wendifreeman made it happen! 

Sour blue raspberry rocket and birthday cake pop are the best! 

Leslie is pregnant!! Ahhh!! So excited for Leslie and Brandon! They are going to make great parents! I love Baby Barfield so much already! The aunts are ready to spoil... bring it on! 

Leslie and Brandon announced to the world they were having a little Barfield!! 


Lake Time! 

We went out on Big Daddy's boat with Leslie, Brandon, Sam, and Greg for Memorial Day! Good times! Here are some pics! 


9 hours on food, fun, sun, noodles, and wind in our face! :)


May 27th - Announced to the world that we were having a Little Castardi! 
(That will get it's own post!)


Out celebrating @nateblase birthday! The big 3.0. !!! #antico #ormsbys  we hope you have the best birthday! Here's to your next 30 years! 

Surprised Blase with a trip to his favorite... Antico! and the rest of the gang "just happened to be there"! Ate some delicious pizza while sipping on some Cab Sav, headed next store for some real authentic gelato, then tipped it off by going to Ormsbys for a little bocci ball action! 

Happy Birthday to my bigger little brother @tylercocks!! Somehow you always make me laugh and I love you so much for it! Here's to 20 more years of good times!!! 

And now for a montage of the birthday boy! @tylercocks turning the big 20 today!! Here's to 20 more years of me capturing your awesomeness!!! Love you!

Throwback to the day @lesbarfield and I met as college roommates in 2005 to the day we found out we were both pregnant in 2014! #tbt #10daysapart #doinglifetogether #makinglifetogether

April Flowers!



Got'em #muahahahaha #riskonnect

Wendi and I pulled a couple of professional yet funny tricks out of the ole hat for April 1st! 
  • We covered everyone's light on the bottom of their mouses!
  • All of our conference room and offices have motion sensored lights so we covered those with duct tape so they wouldn't turn on! 
  • We put "out of order" sticky notes on the coffee machines! haha The first person to see them chattered real quick for everyone to stop by Starbucks on the way in if they wanted coffee! LOL
  • We put a bowl upside-down in the cafe with a sign on top that said "Do not move bowl unless you plan to kill what is underneath it." (there was nothing under there and it stayed there all day! people were freaked out to move it just in case!) haha 


I absolutely love my friends and our pure time together... literally and figuratively! Missing from the pic was Jen & Lilly! 

 Us and our men went to Pure for some dinner and good quality time! 

This little guy was chillin on my desk this morning when I got in... cause this awesome friend of mine thought of me this morning! Thanks @katenowland... yup, screenshotted your snapshot! You're welcome right back! 

Kate brought me my favorite Starbucks drink... Upside down Iced Carmel Macchiato! 

Just a typical Friday afternoon at #riskonnect 

Friday afternoons at work you just never know what is going to happen... who would have thought that a banana on a razor would come zipping by? :) 

Guess who I picked up from the airport today cause he came home early to surprise the fam?? #drumroll... My Dad!!! #topdowninthejeep #boiledpeanuts #cococola #welcomebacktoATL 

I picked up my dad from the airport after he had been away for about a month and had him a "Welcome Back to ATL" goodie bag full of hot boiled peanuts, cococola, and a peach! 

Just a real quick powerpoint pic from small group! #NBD

This is my 
"a 16 year old is currently driving me home with 3 crazies in the back while blazing music" 
face! 

I made me a new bible cover! Ain't it purty? 


No pic but... APRIL 8 - WE FOUND OUT WE WERE HAVING A LITTLE CASTARDI!!!! 


Peanuts cheering on our Cracker Jacks Team! 


Celebrated with this beautiful and fun loving bride to be today! Love you @hyjrogers - can't wait for your big day! 

Heather and Caleb are getting hitched July 12, 2014!! 

"I wanted you to come home to beautiful flowers everyday" #iamblessedwiththisman

Steven said that. He planted me beautiful flowers around our mailbox and all over our yard and he did it just for me! Am I lucky or what? 

Happy Birthday @taylor_nevill ! I absolutely love you and always have a blast with you! Thank you for always making me laugh! Even when you don't say anything I know what you are thinking and I love that! I can always count on you for signing up first too and that rocks! xoxo

Lap on Lap! Love the Freeman Family and our last minute get together that worked out perfectly! 

At last minute we invited the Freemans over for a cookout and it worked out! We ate some good food, hung out, and I got some Asher time! 

My baby and I going for a walk... our nightly routine! I LOVE how the trees look at this season! 


We are either saying "yay it's go time!" or "holy crap is it go time?" ... You'll never know! #denverbound 

Wendi and I on the plane to Denver for RIMS 2014!
