#tbt

For #throwbackthursday today I am going to throw back to my FAVORITE places in the whole wide world: Cherry Grove Beach and My Maryland. This girl is a Maryland girl (and OBNOXIOUSLY proud of it). I visit any chance I get. I love hanging out with my cousins, Gram and Bob, sight seeing the same sights over and over again, and just relaxing. Being from Maryland is the biggest blessing in my life. I truly believe it shaped me into the person I am today foul mouth and all and beam with pride anytime there is something positive written about my home. If you ask me where I'm from I tell you Maryland without blinking. Then when you ask how long I live in Kentucky, again without blinking I'll tell you 21 years. It doesn't matter to me. I've never claimed to have roots in Kentucky, Kentucky is just where I live, Maryland is home. I have my amazing little family in Kentucky, but if I had it my way (and believe me I try) my happy little family would ship up to Maryland and continue setting our roots. So here are my Maryland #tbt pics!

I have a million pictures I could add, but these are my most precious. I love my family so much, it's ridiculous! Now onto the second installation of my #tbt post: Cherry Grove! Ever since I was born (literally 6 weeks old was my first beach trip) we've gone to Cherry Grove (NMB) every year. Sometimes as a huge family, sometimes just my fam and hubs, sometimes just hubs and our friend Austin. It's always amazing. The memories make for years of laughter and sometimes tears. It is my piece of Heaven. I have been to Hawaii (I loved it so SO much) and I know there are more glamorous beaches but when given the chance to getaway, I will always chose NMB. I love it there. So here are pics from past vacations. Again, there are a million pics I could post but here are some of my favorites over the years! I can't lie, I'm dreaming of Smith Family Vacay today when it's a blistering 19 degrees outside!!! 

All of the cousins! There are 20 of us!

So for this week's #tbt I'm throwing back to some of the most fun parties I've ever been apart of! We're talking bachelorette parties people!! There is nothing better than a girls night (or weekend in some cases) celebrating the soon to be bride, catching up with some of your nearest and dearest friends, enjoying a cocktail or 10 all while making a fool of the bride to be! I love all the women who have allowed me to take part in their celebration dearly! So this one is dedicated to some of my favorite ladies! Here's looking at you: Liza, AGray, and Whit! Love you all to the moon and back!

As you can tell, I run with a crowd that knows how to have a good time. Now we're all married ladies but when we do get together, it is always guaranteed to be a night of many laughs and many drinks :) Happy #tbt to my faithful readers ;)

I've gotta be completely honest... I LOVE #throwbackthursday on Instagram. It's been sweeping social media for a while now and I, like most IG users, love to plow through old, embarrassing family pictures to find ones to post. So today, I give you #tbt blog edition! I hope you love these pictures as much as I do! 

This is me with my Pop when I was 

about 3 weeks old. It was his birthday.

I miss him every day.

9 weeks pregnant! Sweet Girl was just a tiny

peanut!

My main lady, my Gram. She's my world,

my bff, and I couldn't be luckier. She

really is the best.

This was me when I was 16. It's such an embarrassing

picture but it cracks me up. I'm holding my cousin, Peter,

not my baby.

Pop with my cousin Danny and me... rocking 

that mullet

My dad and his girls! #httr

Hubs and I on our anniversary trip to Gatlinburg last year.

30 weeks pregnant!!

Love this lady so much! This was me 34 weeks

pregnant... quite a change from the above pic.

I figured I'll make every Thursday on the blog a #tbt. It's so much fun to look through old pictures and remember what you were doing in them or seeing the people you love and miss! Happy #tbt you guys!
