Walker's FiRST Girlfriend!!!

On January 27th, this beautiful girl's mom

texted me after school, 

"Have you heard the news?"

I hadn't even made it home yet, but

I kinda thought ALBEIT shockingly 

what she might mean!!!!!!!

About the same time, Kelli called

to tell me the same thing and for me

to check Walker's Instagram...

because at this age (13), the VERY

first thing you do is update your 

Insta profile with the date

you got a girlfriend/boyfriend.  

Walker was COOL CAT...

and God bless his heart, he was kinda

scared to tell us because he thought

he would be in trouble. 

WHHHAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTT?

Troy was so proud!!!!!!!

Me?!?  Well, I just didn't know what

to think.  He's MY boy;)

I didn't even know that he talked to 

girls.  AND I thought he and 

Kate would be girlfriend/boyfriend

their whole entire lives until they 

get married.  We quickly 

put Walker at ease and told him

how great we thought this was

and that hopefully this will be

one of many sweet girlfriends and just

to keep their friendship no matter 

what and under no circumstances

are mushy gushy posts/calls/texts

allowed.  They are 13,

BUT absolutely ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!

We had known that Walker and Tatum

had a long running friendship - 

made on their own and we were 

thrilled for them.  She's a precious girl

and truth be known, I think they had liked 

each other for quite a while.  

I mean, come on, they were elected

TEAM CAPTAINS in 6th grade

for softball day!!!!!!!!!  

 This picture at the 6th grade

end of year dance?!???!!!!!

 Tatum wanting a picture with Hadlee?!?

Then posting it on her Insta!!!!!

She came to some of his basketball

games which I thought was super sweet!

He also went to some of her 

tennis matches!!!!!!!

Other than that, they pretty much

never talked.  HA HA!

But Social Media?!?

Absolutely.  

AND.....apparently walking together

 in the halls of Midway Middle School!

So cute!!!!!!

Happy for my BOY!:)
