Fierce

There's something to be said about a woman who carries herself in such a way that everyone around her stops.

Granted, she was probably at a cross walk and everyone was stopped at a red light, but still, that woman is FIERCE.

Oh what a love I have for Shabby Chic.

Rachel Ashwell does it right every time. 

On to...Today. A fun date on a summer day.

It's a great coincidence when you and your favorite person both have the day off. 

That favorite person is obviously my hubby and with a present from his day we got to go to the movies on him. {Thanks Joe!} For the past couple of weeks we've been wanting to see Toy Story 3; a movie we've grown up with and love. 

To our surprise about 10 minutes into the showing everything completely shut off, but not too long after it cut back on. Because of that short cut off we were greeted by a manager as we left handing us 2 free tickets to any showing, including 3D, whenever we'd like for the inconvenience caused.Man, if all of life's inconveniences could be greeted with a free pass I think

We thoroughly enjoyed Toy Story 3, probably my favorite out of all of them. I heard lots of people say that it made them cry so I was prepared for some smeared mascara- it didn't make me quite that emotional but I surely liked that little Bonnie girl. I hope we have a girl withs such imagination and cute style... a tu tu with green wellies.

If you're a fan of the first two I would definitely recommend that you take the time to see the final installment!

Tomorrow we're back to normal with work although if you're interested we will be seeing Joe Pugg in concert at The Basement around 9ish if you'd like to join us!

 Time for bed...sleep well

Happy weekend, all!

Mine has been packed with wedding details of every kind. As in the post below you see my brother and his wife were married yesterday morning and what a beautiful ceremony it was! I had the honor, as did Adam, to be apart of the wedding party.

Yesterday also holds a very special place in my heart as it was my dad's 50th birthday!  

Happy Happy Birthday my daddy, I love you!

Look at the fun cake we had made for him, little Jamie at 18 months old.

He was gracious in agreeing to have the wedding celebration on the same day as his big five oh!

Friday was spent setting up the space with tables, flowers, crystal, tulle, some more flowers and kelly green.  Later that night was the rehearsal dinner that I helped to decorate where everyone got to catch up and eat none other than a southern classic, bar b q.

Saturday morning came early for us, we had to be at the church by 6:30. Well us girls did, we had to get ready! Hairspray was flying and the rooms were so hot from the steamer, curling irons and straighteners. I'm betting the boys green room wasn't filled with as many beauty products, just sayin'.

Everything went off without a hitch and now those lucky two are now on a cruise!

Our trip to Birmingham was wonderfully restful and we had our very own fireworks show right in our front yard on the 4th!

This week has been hectic but altogether fun, T minus 2 days and my brother will be a married man. Eeep!

 Much to do today and tomorrow, not sure if I'll have time to post.

Love you all and I hope your week has been lovely.

Hello friends, I hope you're well!

It has been over a week since I've written. 

As written in my last post we left for a 5 day trip for a family reunion. We spent our time between Owasso and Skiatook, OK. Friday we spent at the state aquarium then later that evening headed to Crystal Bay Marina to set up our cabins. It felt like we did nothing but eat, swim, eat, swim, sleep and repeat. I kid you not.

By the grace of God I didn't get sun burned, just an overload of freckles on my face. I'll take it :) 

Pictures to be posted soon, I promise!

Arriving back home in Nashville came at the right time, we were so worn out. Unfortunately there's no rest for the weary, we had business that had to be taken care of.

Tuesday we took care of some tax issues where we ended up with a lovely 3 hour experience at the IRS. {Thank goodness it's done!}

Yesterday morning I went to the dentist to have a certain tooth looked at. Long story short I never had wisdom teeth that I knew of . Turns out I have one, yes only one, behind that pesky tooth that's caused me trouble. On top of that lone piece of wisdom the dentist discovers that I still have a baby tooth which I never lost. Can you believe it? The adult tooth for some reason never felt the need to exercise its right to come on up. He said that in time something will happen leaving that tooth to break off if I bit into a hard piece of food. Im wishing with all of my might that we can fix it beforehand.

We're headed on another trip, a teensy road trip to Birmingham for the holiday weekend. Be back soon!

xoxo .bd
