Friday High Fives – Call me tumbleweed, cause I’m blown away
You guys, whoaly moly. There are really no words right now to express how blown away I am at the response from yesterday’s post. John and I are humbled, grateful, and… just speechless for your words of encouragement, generosity, and love. It’s crazy how people come out of the wood-works… and then people whom I’ve never even met in real life can make such an impact. So, I thank you. We thank you. From the bottom of our hearts.
I love it.
And don’t forget, you can still shop my closet!! or donate or just find out more information about our trip to Kenya. It’s all in the post.
I also forgot to mention that John and I are actually leading the trip this year – so you have no idea how much your support means to us.
Okay, on to today’s Friday High Fives and highlights from the week and other things I’m excited about.
1. Tyler Zeller got drafted and then traded to the CLEVELAND CAVALIERS! YESSSSS!! I am a huge Tar Heel fan and I’m, sadly, a huge Cleveland fan. So needless to say, I was pumped when I saw that Z got traded to the Cavs. Now I can root for them again! I’ve been a little bitter ever since we lost LeBron.
2. I played GOLF last weekend!
For those of you that don’t know, I’ve played golf since I was 2-years-old. I played in high school, coached a team, taught golf for a few years – but I honestly have played maybe ONCE in the last three or four years. I don’t know why, I just hadn’t gotten the chance to get out and play like I used to. So this past weekend, hubs, myself, and our friends Greg and Cindy hit the links. Hubs was my caddy and Cindy was Greg’s caddy. It was awesome!
Picture below: me (far left), Greg (middle), my caddy (right)
Oh yeah, I’ve still got it. Look at that form. LOL.
And yeah, that shot below, that was my TEE SHOT on a par 4. BOOM. 🙂 But yeah, in all seriousness, it was HOT out, but it felt SO good to get out and play again!
3. My friends are on AMERICA’S GOT TALENT! My BFF Dani’s husband and his BMX team are on America’s Got Talent – FAN their page! And they’re gonna be on the first LIVE show this coming week.
This picture below is Dani over at my house on Monday recording a video of the broadcast on her phone so she could send it to her hubs who was on the road so he couldn’t see the show. LOVE it.
4. Homemade ice cream sundaes. I love ice cream. A lot. I love making homemade ice cream sundaes. My preference? Either Ben & Jerry’s “New York Super Fudge Chunk” plain. OR, strawberry ice cream with white chocolate chips, rainbow sprinkles, and chocolate sauce. Pictured below.
Speaking of ice cream – this tweet, tweeted by my husband, totally sums up our relationship / his sense of humor / my life:
So true. I heard that ice cream truck and BOOM, I went to the door. LOL.
5. The new DMB album comes out September 11th! I can’t express how excited I am. YES!!
Oh man, so yeah. GOOD TIMES THIS WEEK. I’m excited for the weekend and I’m excited for all that God has in store for this year. Everything just keeps getting better and better.
OH! And don’t forget to enter my MLB wine / beverage glass giveaway with Taylor Brigham Designs!!! There’s still time to enter! 🙂
Love y’all! Happy Friday!
xoxo, all for now.
That’s awesome that you played golf. I felt the same way about swimming. I’ve swam since I was a little girl and swam in high school and played water polo in college. I hadn’t swam in at least 3 or 4 years and went and bought a suit and goggles and started swimming again a couple of weeks ago. It felt great!
thanks meghan! yeah i definitely got burned out after a while but that’s why i took a break and now i do it for fun. that’s awesome you’re back swimming again!!!
cutest golfer ever award. awesome that you can actually play well too! impressed over here.
and btw, while i don’t share your love for tarheels…i do really like zeller. and i’m excited to see what he does in cleveland!
LOL thanks, elise!! it’s cool you don’t share my tar heel love, but yeah, you can’t hate Zeller. i don’t think anyone can hate zeller. such a good guy!
I have yet to play golf but really want to! my husband does once in a while and I should go with him!! have a great weekend girl!
you TOTALLY should! it’s REALLY fun. i love it!! and then maybe one day you can make your husband be YOUR caddy like i made mine 🙂 hahaha
Omg that ice cream looks amazing! Yes please!

I am L-O-V-I-N-G those yellow shorts! So awesome! 🙂 Oh, and I need to learn how to play golf. Fact.
thanks, leslyn!!! and yes! you should totally learn to play and then we can go playing together!!
oh i am SO getting into some ice cream this weekend. it is so dang hot around here!
Sea and Swank
DO IT! it’s STILL so hot. i don’t know if the heat is ever going to leave.
I love DMB can’t wait. I also love ice cream, and I laughed out loud when I read your husband’s tweet up there, hahaha! I’m so jealous you’re a golfer – I stink at any sport that requires me to use something other than my body to hit a ball (golf, softball, pool). My depth perception is awful so the smaller the ball the worse it is. Go you!
YES! so glad we’re both dmb lovers. and girl you could get better at golf with practice! just takes practice is all 🙂 and yeah, my husband is hilarious!
Congrats to your friends & that ice cream sundae looks delicious!
thank you so much, audrey!!
Oh my, how cute are you in that golf outfit!? Actually my husband and I LOVE golfing together! I’m not really that good, even though I pretend that I am… and honestly I’m just more concerned about driving the cart than where my ball went. 🙂
xo, Yi-chia
Always Maylee
lol thanks, yi-chia! that’s awesome to know you and your husband go golfing too!! i bet you are AWESOME!
You look so cute in your golf attire!

That’s SO neat that someone you know is going to be on America’s Got Talent! And that tweet cracked me up..I’d run out too for the ice cream truck 🙂 Have a great weekend, Molly!
-Sharon
thanks, sharon!! i am pretty blessed and yes i’m glad you love the ice cream man, too!!
That’s so awesome that they are on America’s Got Talent – I will definitely look for them…because obviously any show with judges automatically reels me in 🙂 Plus I can get the hubs to watch since Howard is a judge! Totally want an icecream sundae right now…have a great weekend Molly!
Annie
The Other Side of Gray
yay!! that’s awesome your hubs loves howard!!
My friend is on America’s Got Talent, too! Well, she’s this girl I went to elementary school with & we aren’t actually friends anymore, but still. She was part of a dance group but I don’t know if she’s still on because I haven’t been watching the show. I went golfing once…I swung the club 84 times just completing the first 2 holes. No joke. Needless to say, I’m not the next Tiger Woods! 🙂
AWESOME! what a small world!!! haha and don’t worry girl – just gotta practice is all 🙂
ooo you’re making me want to go play golf, maybe I’ll hit up the driving range this weekend 🙂
