Friday the 13th High Fives…? …and a proposal

77 Replies

You guys, thank the good Lord it is Friday. It’s just been one of those weeks where I am glad that tomorrow is Saturday and I can spend my time sleeping and doing nothing. A whole lot of nothing. My sabbath, if you will.

Now, on to this week’s High Fives… except one of them isn’t really a high five… it’s more like a slap myself in the face… five. Also, you’re going to want to check out number 5. I promise.

1. I rearranged and cleaned and organized and re-color-coded my closet. This has been one of those things on my to-do list for awhile and I finally got it done. A video blog closet tour coming soon? I think so.

2. So, the senior pastor at our church is on a much-needed and well-deserved sabbatical for the summer and we’ve had some amazing guest pastors come in. Well, this past sunday, Pastor Ryan Brooks brought the house DOWN. Seriously. If you need an encouraging message, a pick me up, you want to feel challenged and empowered, or you just want to laugh like crazy… TRUST ME, you want to take 34 minutes and watch this sermon.

You. Will. NOT. Be. Disappointed. I’m not kidding. Watch it. If you have time in the next couple days, watch it.

3. I love our dogs. They are so dang cute and they do things like this and they sit by the back door and I just want to hug and kiss them. And they look so innocent… until…

4. I come home to this. I put the trashcans away, move the food off the counters, and close the doors to all the rooms in the house… but no, they have now turned to ripping open bags of precious, priceless VHS tapes and destroying them. You know, tapes of my chorus concerts and tapes of my mom on the History Channel. You know, those. Now, after proper assessment only one is TOTALLY destroyed, the rest are moderately damaged. Ugh. Needless to say, the dogs are in the dog house right now.

5. The proposal. Yes, I’m already married. But one year ago yesterday was the day my, now husband, proposed to me. And I never really did anything to share / archive the audio from our proposal. Well, I put this little diddy together that has the audio from our proposal along with a few photos. SO, I thought I’d share it with you!

You see, John and I met while working together at a radio station. And, well, it was only appropriate that he surprised me by proposing LIVE on the air. Well, the whole thing was recorded LIVE.

John, thank you for making me the happiest woman in the world by asking me that oh-so-important question a year ago.

Enjoy, y’all. :)

So yeah, that’s what I got going on this here Friday. What are you high fiving today?

all for now, y’all. – molly

    Ok, I’m in love with your cowboy boot collection! Oh lala, those are some CUTE boots! Although it’s awful, I did laugh over your story about your dogs, because ours does the same thing. You know something bad has happened when they look that innocent!
    (And what a sweet story about your proposal!)

    Oh, no. So glad the tapes aren’t all destroyed. ;( Bad puppies. My adorable doggie had a habit of eating my shoes when he was younger. I still almost never leave my shoes on the floor and he hasn’t chewed on anything in years. ;) At least shoes aren’t irreplaceable.
    Your closet looks amazing – can’t wait for the video tour. I’m such a bad girl – my winter stuff is still in mine! ;)
    Congrats on the proposal-versary. I’m assuming y’all dated for a year or more before he proposed since your date-iversary was a few days ago! ;) Or maybe he proposed a week after you started dating?:) Do tell.

    Your dogs are too cute! I’ve, of course, had the same sort of moments when our beagle mix slaughtered 2 pieces of our couch. You can’t stay mad at those cute little faces though:D Thanks so much for linking up for Find + Follow Friday! I’m your newest follower via Bloglovin :)

    I used to have my closet color coded…but I eventually gave up :( Sorry about the video tape too, dogs will eat ANYTHING I swear. My dad’s dog is a golden lab and when he was a puppy he ate an entire lacrosse ball in about 20 minutes, seriously. Lastly, what an adorable way to propose! Congrats on your one year proposal anniverary :)

    Checking in from instafriday.

    Love your blog, girlfriend.

    Those precious puppies. As I am reading and scrolling down I’m thinking… they can’t be that destructive, they look so innocent! Then you have a instagram of the damage. Oh yeah, in the dog house for sure :)

    Way to be on the closet organization. I usually do mine like that as well but have taken to throwing my shoes in at the end of the day and shutting the doors. Out of sight, out of mind!

    awww! Happy anniversary of your engagement!
    I have a love/hate relationship with my chocolate lab. He hasn’t eaten our VHS tapes yet, but he did eat a whole pan of granola bars that I made when I was feeling kinda homebodyish. I haven’t made them since. I was so upset.
    Why was your mom on the history channel?
    Have a wonderful week.

    That is SUCH an amazing proposal story! And I love your dogs – they are SO cute and so funny! Not that destroying the place is funny, but I’ve had my dogs do the same and sometimes you can’t help but giggle a little when you’re so mad but they look all cute and sad. Happy Friday, girl!

    Molly that was too cute – loved the proposal! And I’m jealous of that closet – I would LOVE to be able to see everything I own. Instead, I have to shove a bazillion things into my closet that’s the size of a port a potty….sigh…one day, one day I’ll have a walk in closet! Anyway, have a fabulous weekend :)
