Blog Challenge: Day 5 My Siblings

This is my sister Morgan! We are 3 years apart and totally different! As you can see Morgan has curly blonde hair and me, well straight brown hair. People who don't know us wouldn't know we were sisters. Morgan looks like my mom did when she was young, and I look like my dad. Mom claimed I was the "wild" one growing up and Morgan was the "sweet little innocent" one. We don't always see eye to eye on things, but we're sisters. She likes to say I am her "second mom." I do try to look out for her, but that's my job. I am so glad growing up I had her by my side; I didn't have to go through stuff alone! I'm not saying I had a tragic childhood, but we had each other when our parents divorced, when our dad passed away, and on the day of each other's weddings. She is 21 and got married in September 2009. She loves the Lord and I look up to her in that aspect. We may not always get along, but I love her :)

Blog Challenge Day 4: My Parents

I know I am a couple of days off, but I was kinda busy! :)


This is my mom, Meredith! This picture was taken on my Bachelorette trip, and yes my mom did come on the trip with us! My mom and I are super close. We talk at least once (sometimes more) a day. I can talk to her about just about anything. She is so supportive of anything I do, and yet she will tell me when something not a good idea. Without her I would be lost! I call her about the silliest things. Like how long do you bake a potato, or what do I need to take for a snotty nose. Josh and my step-dad, Scott, like to make jokes about how close my mom and me are, but it's ok I love my mom and I am ok with that! :)


This is my dad, Mike. This picture was taken when I was about 4 or 5 on a family beach trip. I was a total Daddy's girl! He worked hard to provide for my sister and I and never let us do without. He had a kind heart and would lend a hand anyway he could. He was a HUGE Alabama fan and we went to many games together. He could always make me laugh and we had some great times together. I know what you are thinking, "Why are you speaking in past tense?" Sadly, my dad passed away 5 years ago from cancer. It was quiet hard to not have my dad there the day I graduated from college or the day I got married. However, I know that he is always by my side and I take comfort knowing that he is in heaven.
I can say that I was truly blessed with awesome parents. I know many who didn't have the relationship like I did/do with my parents. My parents were very understanding and would not be quick to judge. Because of that I was honest with them most of the time :) I just hope that I will be a great parent one day like mine were!

Blog Challenge Day 3: My First Love

Of course growing up you have those boyfriends that you think you're "in love" with, but it's not really love. So my first love was of course my husband Josh! Josh and I had mutual friends and were from the same town, but didn't know each other. Picture this: Halloween night, college party and I walk in to see a guy dressed in a child's Sponge Bob Square pants costume. Something a guy has to have is a sense of humor, and come on if he's wearing that outfit in publix he HAS to have a sense of humor!So I was smitten! From that night on we "like peas and carrots!" Ha My mom likes to tell this story about Josh and I. As many of you know my dad passed away in 2005; well Josh had not met my family yet. So the first time Josh met my entire family was the day of my dad's funeral. My mom says that she knew from that day forward that he was the man for me, because not many guys would feel comfortable in that situation. He was there for me when I needed him, but at the same time gave me my distance when I needed it. I am very lucky to have such a wonderful man in my life. I am truly blessed!



Josh and I Halloween 2008!

Summer Coming To An End

Hello Everyone! I wish I could come up with clever titles for my blog posts, but I never can! Humph! Anyway, moving on...

We had a weekend filled with family time! My sister and brother-in-law came into town Friday night and we had a good old fashioned "game night!" Sadly Morgan and I weren't the best of teammates, we had our "blonde" moments. However my sister did beat us all in Phase 10, which by the way Josh HATES to lose! So he was not happy by the end of the night! It caused lots of laughs!

Saturday my Nana and Pap Paw (my Dad's parents), my Aunts, Uncles, and cousin came to visit us and see our new house. We had lunch which I cooked some(yes I cooked!) and we had a great time catching up. There's always lots of laughs when that side of the family gets together. We all tend to get a little loud. Me loud? Never! Ha! After lunch we went down to the stadium. My grandparents haven't seen the stadium in a long time. They were able to see the statues and the new section that was just built. I think they really enjoyed it and I'm sure my dad was on their minds. He loved coming to the games as much as they did!

After the family left we went bowling with Morgan and Jason. I'm not a good bowler, but it was still fun and we had a great time!

Well we all know what happens this weekend!!!!! JOSH'S BIRTHDAY!! Oh and College Football starts! I think Josh is more excited about football starting than his birthday! Hope everyone has a great week and ROLL TIDE ROLL!! :)

This picture makes me smile :)



You don't know how hard it is to take a picture with these 2!!



Bowling Anyone?

*Breaking News*

So it's been awhile since I've blogged (I've got to get better at this), so I figured you all needed a little update with what's going on in the life of the Fryers! Well first and most importantly....I GOT A JOB!! YAYAYAYA! Praise the Lord! Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, I have great friends and an AWESOME family! OK, back to the job...It's not a teaching job per-se, but it's a teaching assistant at one of the private schools here in Tuscaloosa. Basically I help the two 2nd grade teachers with anything they need,for instance help a struggling student, plan field trips and grade events, etc. I also get to have my own small group for Reading and Math, so I still get to come up with my own plans and activities just to a smaller group. Private is so much different from public school. So I am having to get accustomed to the difference. I am really excited about what this school year has in store for me!

Summer is coming to an end and although I won't miss the HOT, HUMID weather, I will miss the freedom summer brings. I have enjoyed a couple vacations this summer and also some quick trips with great friends.



Josh and I at the Braves/Dodgers game...they lost :(

However with summer ending that means Fall is just around the corner and you know what that means?!?!? FOOTBALL SEASON!! I soo look forward to tailgating with friends and enjoying some great college football game!!

I leave you now with some pictures from the Culligan wedding :)
