Gotta love those Monks!

Took a little detour yesterday as I was driving through Cullman from Gadsden. I saw the sign for Ava Maria Grotto and the St. Bernard Prep School. I had been there once before, but this time I had my camera, so I thought, "Why Not?!" I wheeled my car in and took a few shots. It's an absolutely gorgeous place that I want to go back and explore again one day. After reading about the Abbey on the internet, I think I drove up during the Monks prayer time becase that happens around 5ish-6ish. I guess that's why it was so quiet. Yeah, definitely got to go back and visit. I like this place. :0)

Happy Graduation!!!

Today was yet another Tittle Family Fun Day! My sweet cousin Andrew graduated from Westbrook Christian and in true Tittle fashion, we had to par-tay! It was a blast! They just built a GORGEOUS house in Gadsden. Here we have pics of Andrew in his cool new Ninja Turtle hat that I got him. (Remember - Andrew is the one cousin that was as determined as me to get that Kermit the Frog hat at Christmas). SO I had to go get him yet another cool hat for this special occasion. The other pic is him, Grandma and his sis, Kimberly. Lots of Tittles were missing, but it was still a fun day! And even better, there were no frantic calls from the Marriott to ruin it! :0)

Bridesmaids!!

Here we are in all our glory! This will be the lineup for July 3rd. Starting from the left we have Tasha, Mary Catherine, Cuz (the bride... obviously) Sister, and me. Sister and I are both freakishly tall, luckily, she's a bit taller than me, so as we are towering over the other three, at least I'm not the tallest. The shower was at the B'ham Botannical Gardens and was BEAUTIFUL!!! So pretty with great food and the weather couldn't have been more perfect! :0)

CheeseCake!!

Let me start with YUM!!! My sweet boss (Bowser) went to lunch today at Logan's and brought me back some cheesecake. Just out of the blue, walked in with a box of scrumptiousness. What a nice surprise ~ and DELICIOUS!!! It had a little thing of chocolate sauce and a little thing of strawberries on the side. I took the pic after I'd already had a taste... or two... or three. I didn't eat it all by myself though. Chef finally came back to the office and finished it up. It was definitely a much needed good surprise to this day. Love you, Bowz! :0)

Meeeeee!

Didn't take any pics today, however, this is the one I used for the paper. I'm in charge of the Hotel newspaper at work and we've been trying to do a "Guess That Associate" article every day. Today, was my turn and this is the one I picked. Kinda cracked me up. The 2nd floor told me I was so cute. I assured them I grew out of it. Bowz and Chef couldn't get past the blonde hair. I told them it was in fact very blonde for a while and now it's this very dark brown. Fun times. :0)

Lunch with Lover (and Chef)!

How could someone so pretty eat someting so disgusting?! Chef and I had a bet going today with the outcome of lunch and it just so happened that Lover called and said he was going to get Rice Box and asked if I wanted anything. "OF COURSE," was the answer. You never pass up a chance to have Rice Box. Chef had his normal Lunch Special with the Eel Roll and Crunchy Shrimp. I had the amazing Honey Sesame Tofu, and Lover had Pot Stickers. I was expecting a Pot Sticker to look like a shish-ka-bob. Boy was I wrong. It looked more like goat brains. EWW! However, he's pretty so we'll overlook it. He also tried my Tofu, so I'll try and bring him over to the dark side of being a vegetarian. Then it's Goodbye Goat Brains! :0)

Par-tay at Chef's House!

Party at Chef's House! Crawfish Boil, actually. Tons of those creepy, crawly little critters were thrown into boiling water and consumed tonight. I had hummus and salsa. Much better than the "swimming critters" as we have been referring to them as. It was so much fun and I finally got to see the famous deck that Chef has been working on forever. It looks BEAUTIFUL! Too difficult to try and name everyone in the pics, but almost all of them are Foodies (Food and Beverage Peeps) at the Hotel. Fun night! :0)
