Cinda & Mark Boomershine

November recap — What a fun month with so much to be grateful for! 2 - 8 - It started with an impromptu trip to Indianapolis to hopefully see Taylor Swift. We left ATL with no tickets and a “Whats the best that can happen?” attitude. Thankfully, the best did happen and we made some seriously wonderful memories in the process. Plus we got to visit with Aunt Joyce. 🥰 9 - 10 - Meanwhile, the boys drove up to the lake where they went for a fall hike and Rex got a chilly surf in 🥶 11 - I popped up to Nashville for my Vanderbilt reunion. It was good to be back and see so many old friends. 12 & 13 - Belle went on a confirmation retreat while Rex and Mark went to Great Wolf Lodge with friends and I had a glorious night all alone (not pictured LOL) 14 & 15 - Rex’s football team closed out an undefeated season by winning the 5th-grade championship game! Rex also got to play in the Peach Bowl which was an honor. 16 - Belle finally got her ears pierced! 17 - 18 - Back at the lake with a side trip to Germany aka Helen for some putt-putt and Wiener schnitzel. 19 — Thanksgiving back at home with my amazing parents. 20 — Two of Mark’s commissions that were delivered this month. Attitude is indeed everything!

Good morning! Just a little reminder/affirmation/manifestation to start your day and week. It’s going to be a great week!!!! #morningaffirmation #morningmotivation #morningcoffee #lakeburton #fallisintheair #itsgoingtobeagreatweek

What a season and what a championship game! Giant thanks to his amazing coaches who taught our boys so much this season - their lesson’s extended far beyond football. We were so lucky to be on this team. Go Irish ☘️

Last minute, impromptu trip in an attempt to see @taylorswift on night 2 in Indianapolis. It’s amazing what can happen if you truly believe that the best that can happen will indeed happen and you are willing to get out of your comfort zone. Giant thanks to our new bestie Sarah. If you happen to know her, please let me know. What an incredible 24 hours. #whatsthebestthatcanhappen #taylorswift #indynight2 #erastour #thebestday

October recap. Part 2. In reverse 🔄. Halloween started with a very lazy yet very comfortable family costume for a party. The kiddos’ actual costumes were a bit different 🤦‍♀️😳🤣 and they had a very successful trick-or-treating night. One guess as to who carved our pumpkin 🎃🤷‍♀️. I helped with Rex’s class party and donated blood 🩸right before that (not my best idea 🥴). To no one’s surprise, the Fierro broke down and had to be towed 🤪. We voted early 🇺🇸. Belle played lots of volleyball and served for an 11 point rally (is that how you say it? 🙌) in one set. Rex played lots of football and score two touchdowns. We cheered like champions. Chloe didn’t eat anything expensive (although a few unsuspecting stuffed animals 🧸 fell victim to her mischievous ways). Mark and Rex went to see the Lion King. Belle survived a piano recital. Mom and Dad had a date night to a fundraiser. Rex swam in a swim meet. Other highlights not pictured were many hours of homework begrudgingly done, several large and fabulous commissioned paintings delivered, one speach about the Loop given and about a bagillion e-mails read and sent. xo CB #octoberwasfun #momlife

Am I the only one whose kiddo keeps changing her mind 🤷‍♀️🤣? (And yes this is an old video but it fits my current mood and I have so many unposted drafts that Instagram wants me to get rid of so here you go 🤣). Happy Halloween eve! xo CB #halloweencostumedrama #tweenlife #aglca #theloop #macinacisland

Are we the only ones with a bag full of old mystery keys??? Mark is always losing keys. And I am apparently always keeping old keys. Sadly, when Mark went looking for a missing key to his old servicar motorcycle, not even my bag full of mystery keys could help. But I did find my college dorm key so we have that going for us 🤦‍♀️🤣. #oddcollection #missingkey #keystothepast #whatsinthebag

October recap (1st half) - the themes for the first two weeks were water, travel, friends and animals. Poseidon appropriately kicked off our month at the celebration of ancient civilizations. We had a little adult fun. Then we were off to visit friends in Alabama - Mark in Perdido with fraternity brothers and the rest of us in Fairhope with a bestie! Stops at @bucees and the @alabamasafaripark made the road trip more fun. After a few days of normal life we were back on the road again. This time we went to Sea Island for fall break with friends at a gorgeous house we “won” at a school auction. After a few glorious sunrises, several long walks on the beach, one piece of candy (well played Rex 🍱 🤦‍♀️), lots of time at the beach and pool, a bagpipe at sunset and a rousing game of beer pong at Octoberfest, we headed back to reality ready for the rest of the month. xo CB #octoberfun

Yup. Not going swimming any time soon 😳🦈. But wasn’t it a beautiful sunrise?!? #sunrise #shark #seaisland #😳😳😳

September recap… 1. Happy birthday to my amazing, beautiful, wicked smart, phenomenal Mom 🥰 2 & 3. Rex joined his sister at the @invisalign party🤣 #somuchbetterthanbraces 4. We started a big new project that necessitated a trip to Marietta. And you can’t go to Marietta without visiting the Big Chicken 🐔 🤣 5 & 6. Aforementioned big new project has also necessitated juggling Mark’s eclectic collection of motorized vehicles. 🤦‍♀️🤪 #hehasaproblem 7 & 8. Kiddos spent lots of time doing homework as they adjusted to their new school. 9. We are not golfers but played @topgolf for the first time and now we get it. 10 & 11. Rex played lots of football and we celebrated his incredible coach who left us too soon 😢 but left behind an incredible legacy. We are so honored to be part of his Irish family and to benefit from his greatness. 🤍💚 12, 13 & 14 - We celebrated birthdays and ballet with old friends, not so old friends and new friends 🥰 15 & 16. Hurricane Helene forced us to spend the night in the “Boomershine Bunker.” We lost power and our local golf course looked more like a lake than a green but overall, we got very lucky. Our hearts ache for those who weren’t so lucky 💔😢 17 & 18 - my parents celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. They are the most perfect example of love and what it truly means in sickness and in health. 19 - pretty flowers because 🥰

Happy birthday Mark!!! You are the best captain of our crazy ship and we love you! xo CB #birthdayboy #homemadecardsarethebest

August recap - School started in August but that didn’t stop the summer fun. Every second we weren’t required to be in the city, we were at the lake. We surfed and tubed and skied and swam (both day and night) and carved watermelon helmets and goofed off and had the best time with so many friends and family. I also squeezed in the most perfect 24 hours in Los Angeles for a surprise birthday celebration. In addition to celebrating the birthday girl, I got to hike in my favorite mountains, sip wine in Malibu, sit on my favorite church pew with my beloved pew sisters, stroll the farmers market, eat at one of my favorite restaurants and recharge my California battery just a bit. We are all sad that summer is over but so grateful for the many wonderful memories. xo CB #justalittlelate
