oh hey, friday!
Oh hey, Friday… I’m so glad to see you! I’m finally getting back into the swing of things {kinda} and excited to be joining Karli, Amy and Amanda today!
1 | In all the chaos of the past two weeks, I completely forgot about Einstein’s birthday on Sunday. Puppy mama of the year, right? The worst part is it’s not like I remembered Sunday night or even Monday morning… it was Wednesday afternoon before it hit me.
In order to make it up to Stein, we headed to PetSmart Wednesday evening and spent $40 on treats and cookies. {Not just for his birthday, we were completely out of treats.} We came home and had a party for our baby boy. Happy 6th birthday, Einstein!
Showing his birthday teefs.
2 | I think I’ve already mentioned this a few times this week but Orange is the New Black is my new jam. We’ve been watching it non-stop for a week now. Is it bad that we’re almost through both seasons? We gotta slow down because I don’t think new episodes come out until 2015. Yikes!
3 | Yesterday afternoon I received a scary phone call from my mom saying their house was on fire and she was headed home. Before I could ask any questions, she said she would call me when she had more answers and hung up. It immediately brought back flashbacks to my eight year old self being woken up by my mom screaming “get up! the house is on fire!”
Lightening struck their breaker box and that’s what started the fire but my sister was home and called the fire department. Had she not been there, it would have been a total loss. Unfortunately, they have a lot of smoke damage, no power and you can see the mess it caused. Hotel Sloan has officially opened and is at capacity {we have one couch cushion still available}. We are so thankful for the calls and text by neighbors and friends!
4 | The only positive thing about the fire is my mom had to clean out their fridge {and if you know my mom, you know it’s always stocked} and it all had to go somewhere. Hello, groceries…we sure missed having you around!
5 | My cousin Justin is tying the knot with his high school sweetheart, Ali, this weekend and we are so excited to celebrate with them and officially welcome her to the family! I helped host their shower a few weekends ago and plan on recapping it next week.
Happy weekend, y’all!

Oh my goodness! So sorry to hear about your mom’s house! But I’m thankful that they were able to put the fire out before it was a total loss! Too funny about the full fridge of groceries! :)

There has to be a bright side, right???
Rebecca Jo
OH MY GOODNESS!!! That’s scary with the fire!!! My husband was in a fire… they freak me out…
Look at your fur babies & their treats :) I love doggie birthdays :)
Don’t feel bad – I’ve totally forgotten one of our dogs a month late!
Paige Sloan
They freak me out too and I’ve never actually been in a fire. The first time our house caught on fire, we were able to get out before it got bad. Glad I’m not the only one who forgets doggie birthdays!
Amanda Elizabeth
Wow!!!! I am so glad it was a total loss how scary though!!!! Side note….my fridge has never seen that amount of contents ever…..parents really are the best right?
Paige Sloan
Girl, mine either! I should have taken a before and after just to show how much stuff she actually brought over!
Lauren
So sad to hear about your parents’ house! Glad everyone was okay and it can be repaired. Also, OITNB is super addictive – I did the same thing and I’m so bummed it will take forever to come back!

Maggie@ Polka dots in the Country
I’m so sorry to hear about your parent’s house, but I’m glad everyone is alright.
On a lighter note, can I be a dog at your house? Y’all DEFINITELY made up for forgetting his birthday, he’s so cute! And I need to watch Orange is the New Black, everybody seems to love that show.
Have a great weekend!
