The wedding was at the Hilton and I have to say the lounge area near the water made me drool! Hammocks tucked into the trees and chairs scattered across the sand…it was enough to propel me into a “it’s 5:00 somewhere” daydream.  I ended up back in Key Largo last weekend and may or may not have ended up at the resort.  I may or may not have pretended to be a guest, took a snooze in a hammock, or enjoyed a beverage while watching the sun go down! This “resort crasher” has her lips sealed!

Here’s a sneak peek of the shin-dig! More to come later!!!

1. I was giving myself a bang trim.  It turned out pretty good and I was proud of my handy work until I realized I was hovering the whole time over my wine glass.  Ooops.

2.  After a long run I ran to the kitchen to make a smoothie.  I whipped out our new blender.  I say “NEW” because last week our old one started smoking and the plastic melted and BLEW off.  Yes- exploded! Our nifty new one pulses and I’m not used to that yet.  SO- when I thought it was done I pulled the top off.  BIG mistake.  You’ll never guess…it wasn’t done!  Purple goodness shot EVERYWHERE.  My mom was on the phone and turned to look at me in shock.  It was on the ceiling, the cabinets, the floor, and yes people, in my hair!!!!  My mom has now put me on a “blender restriction”.

3.  For those of you who don’t know- I temporarily live with my parents {which explains #2}.  I’m house hunting which can be tricky so I’m lucky enough to have a great family to lean on!  The mini-me loves this and on multiple occasions this week I heard the ever wonderful phrases “OOH-I’m so telling Nana on you“! Or even better “your mom is going to be so mad“.  So what prompts these responses from my little 6 year old? If  I eat in the den or even if I let the dogs eat the crumbs off the floor. Over all it’s kinda funny! Not many 28+3 year olds can say this {yeah- thats how I refer to my age}.

4.One last thing..this morning I forgot the uber-mini’s lunch box.  So in true multi-tasking form, I combined the lunch delivery with my morning run.  So- if you happened to be driving through Little 5 points and saw a girl hauling bootie, proudly dawning a bright green smily faced froggy lunch box- it was me! It was quite the fashion statement:)

Enough nonsense and onto business…wedding post time!!! Carlie + Justin’s wedding was one that we will always remember.  We got to know Carlie pretty well during the planning process and did a few sessions with her and her boy! {click HERE to see their e-sesh }By the time her wedding rolled around it was like going to a new friend’s celebration! We had heard rumors of her hay bale seating, quilts galore, little piggies, pumpkins, tree swings, and smores! This chick did  ALL of this herself {with a bit of help from family}.  The wedding took place on her grandparents farm on White Western Lake.  She had a vision and tossed all of her creative energy into one sweet, heart felt event!!!! We LOVED capturing every second!!!!!

Hope y’all enjoy!!!

{By the way…if you haven’t noticed the blog has had a bit of a face lift! I’me still working out the kinks so bare with me}

Picture a 15 year old me, a basement, and Chad Weyrich. Face it- basements and teenagers usually mean trouble.  But not this time! My good buddy Chad lived up the street and not only was he a great pal to have at the bus stop but he introduced me to G LOVE.  Speakers up loud, “Baby’s Got Sauce” blared- and I was hooked.  {Believe me- this was a treat considering he usually plagued my ears with the screaming sensations of metallica}

Years later I’m still a junkie.  The countdown has begun and Friday night I’ll be standing in my momma’s spot at the Variety! The V. Playhouse is  just a block from our home and one of her favorite venues.  Live music and mom just go together.  In fact she used to frequent so much, my stepdad would walk her there, drop her off with a few bucks for a beverage, let her find her knitch in the crowd, enjoy, and then walk to pick her up.  Maybe it’s in our blood:)  For years I lived in an area where good live music was nil, nada, zilch.  Now being back in home sweet home Hot-lanta, the addiction has been revived!

So…..

Friday night or BUST!!!!!!

And as if that wasn’t enough printed excitement, just a few days later the Mississippi Magazine’s Wedding Register 2012 was left at my doorstep with Katherine and Paul’s wedding at Bentley’s on the Bay!

As always, we were so excited and incredibly grateful to have not one, but two, weddings we adored be picked up for print and published so beautifully!!
