The 4th Golden Girl

The Golden Girls is one of those shows that I rarely watch, but when I do catch it on television, I always get a great laugh watching what those four ladies always get themselves into. My favorite thing about the show is the theme song: "Thank you for bein' a friend. Traveled down the road and back again Your heart is true your a pal and a confidant. And if you through a party Invited everyone you ever knew You would see the biggest gift would be from me And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend."

My Life Group (Sunday school class) gets together once a month to go out and eat, talk, catch up and get to know each other better. I really love my group of ladies I am with. Last night we met at Chili's and it was just a small group last night, but we had a blast. I am the youngest in my class, but I think it is so much fun because the broad age range in our class brings out such variety and different perspectives to life and different stories we have. We had the best time sitting around the table laughing and talking about funny experiences that we have encountered in our lives.

I'm so thankful that God has provided me with such godly women that I can laugh and talk with, but more importantly look up to as a Christian example and listen to how they have handled problems/dilemmas in their own lives. God is so amazing!

While I was sitting beside Mrs. Frances last night, I leaned over and told her that she and Mrs. Barbara and their other friend, Mrs. Ruby are definitely today's Golden Girls, but I wasn't sure who the frouth one was...I think I've decided I'm going to be the 4th Golden Girl!

Thank you Lord, for blessing me with my 'Golden Girl' friends!

Celebrating 30...80's Style!

My good friends Ben and Tatum turned 30 last week. So they had a birthday party, but this was not your typical 30th birthday party by any means. They rented out the skating rink and everyone was to come in their best 80's garb they could find! We skated to the best 80's music and has such a great time! Ben and Tatum are such sweet people. There were probably at least 50 friends and family there to celebrate with them. Here are a few pics of the Judson gang sporting their awesome outfits!

We had such a great time celebrating Ben and Tatum's 30th Birthday. They are such sweet people to me. Happy Birthday Ben and Tatum!! I love y'all!

It's been a while...

Well, I must say that I have been quite the slacker with my blog over the past 5 months. Things have been so crazy I just haven't even had time to keep it updated. Plus, I was in my best friend, Jessica's wedding back in June and I accidentally left my camera there (in Michigan). Somehow between it getting from Detroit to Nashville, someone realized a camera was in that box and thought they needed it more than me. So I've also been without a camera this whole time and haven't been able to capture what's been going on in my crazy life. So I've got a camera on my wishlist for Christmas this year (**Hint hint!)

To sum up the last few months I was going back and forth to Mississippi alot in June and July because Mom had surgery. Once again, God never ceases to amaze me. The doctors were so amazed at how well Mom did with the surgery and even the recovery. Plus, there was a bonus--she even got to stop taking her blood pressure medicine--and she has been taking BP meds as long as I can remember.

I was able to squeeze a Florida trip in as well to meet precious Abigail "Abby" Grace. My best friend Wendy had her bundle of joy in January. I was a few months late getting down there, but we had such a great time visiting and playing with sweet Abby.

I went out to Arizona for a week this summer to visit my sister and brother-in law Ashlee and Billy. Which BY THE WAY...I am going to be an Aunt! I can't wait to meet sweet little Elizabeth "Ella" Grace! Ashlee and Billy are going to be great parents (even though it's still a little frightening to think of Billy being a dad!--haha. just kidding Billy!).

Well, that's enough updates for now. I will have more updates in the next blog soon!
