{Grandmama}


My Grandmama passed away yesterday afternoon and I am heartbroken. I am so sad and joyful at the same time, mostly sad though. I am joyful that she is not suffering anymore, she has been sick for a very long time, it is just so hard to let the people you love go. In honor of Grandmama, one of the most amazing people EVER, I am going to celebrate her life.


She was the most beautiful Grandmama in the WHOLE world, I think she was prettier than me at my wedding.


She drops f bombs, says titties and says whatever is on her mind. 

She was a mother at 15 and was a grandmother at 35. No wonder she was so hip and with it!

She LOVED Elvis. She saw him in concert, on the front row and got one of his scarfs!

She was married 4 times, never widowed, and each one of them loved her until the day they died.
She instilled in us the importance of family. There will be a huge hole in our family now, she was the center, that will NEVER be replaced.

She cut hair my whole life. She owned a shop in Covington, Peggy's Coiffures, and she cut my hair- and permed it.

I love her so much and am so sad that she is gone. I am so glad that she got to know Chad over the past 4 years but still ache knowing she will never know my children. My heart is broken right now, as is my whole family's, I hope we can celebrate the amazing life she had in a way that will honor her like she deserves.

{Black out Bama}




I am so pumped for this weekend, there aren't enough words. After this LONG, draining week I am looking forward to sporting some black and kicking Alabama into next month. Kirk Herbstreet {hello hottie} will be there as will all of those people who called in sick to work all week so they would have enough gas to make it to Athens.



I am PUMPED.



The Auburn game last year was so amazing, the black out really works. AND the new outfits are a nice change:) I hear that Alabama is going to White it Out. Are you joking, that is like the least scary color EVER. I guess Saban wants to show off his fake bake tan more, white should do it.



Lets not even get into the fact that USC lost last night. This will be an interesting weekend. I only have one thing to say:



Glory glory to 'ole GEORGIA!

{Distractions}

I am quite distracted today. My Grandmama is not doing well, the doctors recommended putting her in hospice care. It was nice to spend the day with her yesterday. We talked politics, she asked for an absentee ballot, discussed the latest issue of People and just hung out. I think she understands what is going on, we all came for a visit yesterday, even my brother from Macon. Now we are just waiting, and it SUCKS.

Chad and I had another tennis match last night, much nicer opponents than Monday. But we lost, shocker I know.

Drum roll please....tonight is my 5k. I have been thinking about this for FOREVER, I can't believe it is in a few hours. I hope I don't vomit!

{Prayers}

Today we got some heartbreaking news. My Grandmama has been diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension and the diagnosis is grave. Tonight I pray that all of my friends out in blogland, ones I know in real life and ones that just know me as Preppy Haze, to lift up your hearts and pray that Preppy  Grandmama's diagnosis changes. 

Hearing my daddy cry is the worst sound in the world.

{Yes she CAN!}


{Gossip Girl and Lilly Ads}

I LOVE Gossip Girl, I think it is the smartest written show on TV. I am not exaggerating or trying to be funny, Blair is a riot! We were able to watch last night since our tennis match was over by 8:00, we started at 7:00 people. The jackass we played was kind enough to tell us we ranked ourselves to high. Thanks dude, losing 6-3 & 6-0 kind of clued us in on that...I thought Chad was going to kill him...

If you watch Gossip Girl you MUST check out this NY Magazine article. They write each week recapping the episode from the night before and it is pee in your pants funny! Check it out.


I got this email from Lilly yesterday, I love their adds. I can so picture Chad and me {with a sweet little Cockapoo instead of labs} in this picture, I think Chad would wear it!

{Happy Autumn}

We had a wonderful weekend, it just went by too fast. We ate dinner with Chad's parents on Friday night and then we watched Baby Mama. That movie is HILARIOUS! I really like it, I was surprised.

On Saturday I went and celebrated sweet little Kaleigh's 1st birthday. I can't believe she is a year old! She had the cutest lady bug party, so fun! I made some chili and we drank some pumpkin ale as we cheered the Dawgs to victory. Well, Chad made it though the 1st half but the second half I was cheering them alone...

We have our first T2 match tonight. I wanted to practice yesterday but Chad could not pull himself away from the Ryder Cup so we didn't get any practice in. This week should be busy, 2 tennis matches and I have a 5k on Thursday. I don't think that will go very well...not exactly been running a lot lately...Oh well.

I can't wait for the weekend, we are going to cheer on the Dawgs this weekend in the BLACKOUT!!!
