Goodbye Gypster Hipster

Hi Hi!!!

It's a really sad day here in my world. 

It's my last day with Gypster Hipster.

Over the past year, this little gal has become such a sweet part of my life.

I remember like it was yesterday the first time I ever met Gypsy. 

It was on her daddy's birthday, and I was meeting Faith for an interview.

When I walked in and saw Gypsy, I immediately fell in love with her. I love animals, but there was something about her. Of course, at that moment I never would have imagined that love for animal could grow so much in a years time. 

In June when Faith and Dan asked me if I would take care of her for five months, I knew then that it would be a difficult situation in the end, and it absolutely is. But I have made the absolute best adventure that I possibly could for this pup pup while she's been here and I know I am saying good bye with more memories than I ever could have imagined and I do know that Gypsy Marie loves me so SO much.

 Here is a look back over the past year, Enjoy!!

Just a recap of our fun time here on our #bhamadventure we...

Slept in and cuddled on the reg

made friends with lots of other pups.

went hiking at oak mountain

went swimming in the lake

went on lots of runs

took lots of road trips to Florence

went to railroad park for a day full of food trucks

had lots of attention downtown

had dinner at Gypsy's favorite places downtown; Slice! and Collins

had fun nights at Good People Brewing

went to Art Crawl a good bit

went to Starkville, Mississippi for Bid Day

became partners in crime with Mylee

and SO so much more.

We have really had a whole lot of fun and made lots of memories. 

My whole family is so attached to this sweet girl. Its going to be a hard couple of weeks.

Gypsy leaves on a plane super early tomorrow morning. Please say a prayer for her travel, as well as for me.

At least I do know I will get to see her again in January and February!!

I guess thats all for today. I am off to get Gyp Gyps stuff together for her trip. 

Aloha nui loa Friends

It has begun...

Hello There!

As you know, my last few days with my little buddy Gyp Gyp are passing by quickly. On Sunday, I drive to Atlanta to send her off on her way to Hawaii. It seriously breaks my heart. So, right now, I really dont want to ponder on it, so on to the next subject....

I am MOVING to

B I R M I N G H A M 

permanently. Well, you know what I mean....until God is ready for me to go elsewhere.

When I temporarily moved to Birmingham to watch after Gypsy for a few months, I was dead set that I was NOT staying in Bham, and that I was absolutely definitely going back to Florence. So, over the past few months, I continued to fork out rent money, while my apartment sat completely vacant. Although, I will say in my defense, I did stay in Florence most of October!!!! I love LOVE my little space in Florence. I made it a place that really reflected my style, as well as a place that I could really call home!

After I was in Birmingham for about two months or so, I realized I hadnt for one second missed Florence or even thought about it, unless I was writing out my rent check or paying other bills. The only things I would be missing out on from Florence are FRANCES and her family, as well as Epic and my other friends from Florence! {all of which I can visit at any time!!!} I was having so much fun here in Birmingham that I hated the thought of leaving. So, why not stay?!?!

I sure am going to miss the heck out of my cute little space <3

This week I started up the packing process. DEAR LORD!!! This is going to be a task and a half! I packed for a good four hours on Monday, and only completely packed up my Kitchen. My sweet best friend stopped by on her lunch break, brought me boxes, and we had lunch together! YAY!

 I will be heading back later next week with some good ole help from my momma and nanny {fingers crossed} and we will finish up the packing! So by the end of next week, I should be completely moved out!!!

::bitter sweet::

I am glad that I will have the task of moving to keep my mind off of Gypsy being gone!

HAPPY WEDNESDAY FRIENDS!!!

Bye for now!

Hey Hey Heyyyy!!!

Oh I have missed my little space here. I've been SO busy with Faith these past few days. 

Sadly Faith got on a plane yesterday to head back to her Paradise!!! I was SAD to see her leave. BUT I will be seeing her very soon. in 70something days or so. 

My last weekend in Florence was P E R F E C T ! ! !

I got to enjoy it with Harry. We had such a good time. I laugh constantly at him. He's hilarious and its awesome. So, we went to the movies on Sunday and saw Fury. I  LOVED the movie. SO MUCH!!! Some of it made me sad, but if you've been wondering if you should see it, I totally say YES to that!

Harry Finallllllllyyyyyy got to meet Faith and Gypsy. YAY!

Holy Heaven Ya'll!!!  I wish you could have seen Gypsy yesterday when we pulled back up to my parents house in Bham. She went ballistic and knew exactly where we were and who was inside. I couldnt get her out of the car fast enough....actually, she normally will sit in the seat until you help little princess out of the car. But, yesterday when I opened the car door, She leaped out and ran as fast as she could to the front door with that little booty of hers swaying back and forth doing that little Gypster Hipster dance that she does when she is super excited! I was cracking up!!!!!

I will leave you with this awesome picture from Saturday! This is at my FAVORITE FAVORITE FAVORITE place in Florence! It's so peaceful and so beautiful. 

I miss this so much!

it's almost the weekend friends!! What are your plans??

Bye now

Hi!!! I am back in Florence for three weeks. So far its been a whirlwind of different things. I've cleaned! I've worked with FAITH. YES! I love love loveeee being back with Faithy. Its soo much fun. I've played with Gypsy. 

So, Speaking of that little princess, its been tough for me not having her by me non stop. I love that little pup. Its going to be really hard on me when I have give her back to Faith & Dan! BUT, I sure have enjoyed every second with her!!! I'm pretty sure my whole family is going to struggle with it. 

Tonight its a SLUMBER PARTY night with my Best Friend! Oh my goodness. I am so over the moon to hang out with Frances!  AND in the morning I get to have coffee with Mary Mac! Yippppeeeeee!!! I love my second family. 

Well I'm off to catch up on some shows with Frances!

See you soon! I will be posting a new illustration tomorrow soooo, stay tuned!

Bye now

Change of Season Style

Hey loves!!

Okay, how about this weather this weekend. I wish it would stay forever. I love knowing that fall is basically here. But, I always feel like that here in Alabama our fall is only here for a few days, and then all of the sudden its

 G O N E.

Maybe fall will grace us with its presence a little longer this year!! I sure am hoping so. 

Here are a few change of season styles that I am absolutely loving right now. I want all of this hanging in my closet. So if you're feeling generous and want to put a smile on my face, feel free to gift me any of these wonderful items. 

Oh it's all so so wonderful. 

I have a busy week coming up. Working the front part of the week!!! 

{yay! I love being able to do what I do}

Melissa  & I are going shopping one day this week! We are looking for me a few things to wear on my trip this weekend!

I will tell you all about my trip later on this week!! AND YES I absolutely plan on getting a few of these pieces for my trip!

HAPPPY SUNDAY LOVES.

Its going to be a fun one.

Church. Gypsy. Railroad Park. Food Trucks. Good People. FUN FUN DAY!!
