Random Thursday

I'm sure there is a place to link up on Thursdays when you have nothing to write but random stuff... but I can't find it. 

So here, in no particular order, here is the random stuff on my mind.

-------------------------------

Casey Anthony. Really?!  I'm so frustrated about this whole thing, yet I can't pull myself away from the TV!  I'm so mad at HLN for their all day coverage!

My friend Rachel is at the hospital (in Ohio) about to give birth (hopefully that's what's going on) to her first baby girl!  She texted me around 4:30 and said she was on the way to the hospital and she'd keep us updated.  I haven't heard from her since... this baby has us all practicing our patience.

Remember those blueberries we picked this weekend?  Well Kirby used some on his oatmeal and I had some as a snack.... the rest, I froze.  When I took them out to thaw today, they turned mushy!  I almost threw them all away... but at Bible study tonight, my friend Nancy gave me a recipe for a Fruit Crisp.  She said I'll be able to use the blueberries in that, so we'll see how that turns out.

Tomorrow starts our weekend!  No set plans yet (that's Kirby's favorite kind of weekend)... I can't believe how fast summer is going!  Soon enough it'll be time to go back to school.

What I'm Loving Wednesday

It's Wednesday... and I'm loving it!  Link up here and tell everyone what you're loving too.

I'm loving... being able to see my friend Amy soon.  She's going to be vacationing near us, so hopefully I'll be able to see her cute little family!

I'm loving... how much faster our new computer is than our older one.  Granted, I am not happy the price we had to pay for it, but I'm trying to find the positive in the situation.

I'm loving... Chick-fil-A!  Kirby and I really have to hold ourselves back from going almost every day after Krunch Kids.  Today... we gave into the temptation.

I'm loving... Jenna's Commenting Challenge.  I linked up on Monday and have really enjoyed reading so many new blogs!  Another bonus is welcoming a few new followers :)

our new dining room table

Well... today we had a to make an unplanned purchase and we weren't happy about it.  When I woke up and turned on the computer this morning, it wouldn't boot up.  It kept giving me error messages about the hard drive.  I knew that wasn't a good sign, so I waited for Kirby to look at it when he woke up.  It was just as I suspected... kaput.done.dead.

So instead of buying a new dining room table (that we've wanted for over a year now), we had to use that money to buy a new computer! 

I was a little nervous I wasn't going to be able to post tonight, but it worked out... Phew!  I just finished catching up on some of my favorite blogs and I'm about to participate in Jenna's Commenting Challenge. 

Red, White, & Blueberries

Happy 4th of July! 

During this holiday I always think about freedom, hamburgers, hot dogs, swimming, games, fireworks, picnics, beaches, family, friends... I hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend celebrating America's independence. 

Saturday, Kirby and I went blueberry picking at Indigo Farms.  We were able to pet & feed some of the farm animals and picked blueberries.  We had a good time and have been enjoying our blueberries at home!

2nd Annual Commenting Challenge

Last summer, I participated in Jenna's Commenting Challenge.  At that time, I was getting into the blogging world a little more and so I really enjoying reading other blogs.  This year she's doing it again and I'm so excited to participate! 

Here are the rules...

-Add your blog to the linky at Jenna's Journey

-Comment on 10 blogs for 7 days from the list

-Post about the challenge on your own blog

So... if you are here from Jenna's Challenge... welcome to A Pair of Kings! 

You can learn a little more about us on the "About Us" tab above.  Below are some pictures from our wedding 3 years ago and a few recent pictures as well.

successful Myrtle Beach blogger meet-up

First blogger meet-up was a success!

Ice cream...what a perfect way for girls to meet and chat, right?

{me, Kristin, Tina, Sara, Amanda}

We sat outside and enjoyed our ice cream together and then ordered a few sodas from the McAlisters next door.  We hung out and talked and before we knew it, a few hours had already passed.


.  It was a great time and I'm looking forward to our next meet-up!

Myrtle Beach blogger meetup

I never thought this would actually happen!  I am super excited to meet and get ice cream with some of the bloggers from this area.  I've read about so many blogger meetups and couldn't wait until I met some girls around this neck of the woods. 

Now... to be honest, it's not exactly a huge deal because 4 out of the 5 girls already know each other.  However, from this, I hope our group grows.  I know there are several girls who vacation around here, so maybe they can join us next time.

These are the girls I already know... Amanda, me, Kristin, Tina. 
Tonight I will be able to meet Sara!
