Maya meets Book Club

Maya was born to Amanda and Jeremiah the end of September. We have all been over to meet Maya and take food; but Maya had never met Book Club. So, Thursday was her lucky night. Or maybe it was our lucky night.

Fall Is In The Air








Shower

So, he is my cousin:

And this girl wearing "a hat", what we call in the south the practice bouquet, is going to be my cousin:
And these are all the gifts they received, which at an extremely rapid pace still took over an hour to open!:

**Thanks to Laura and Maggie for being such gracious hostess! From the knitting lesson, to the shrimp n' grits dinner, to the fireworks, to the hot tub time I'm thinking you might should never stay at my house. It will never compare!

Tazapawlooza...take 2

For the 2nd year in a row, I participated in a day full of trail running, "mountain biking", bb gun shooting (which I was 2nd overall in for guys and girls combined!), axe throwing, obstacle course, and closest to the pin. We began our adventure at 9:00Saturday morning and wrapped up with the awards ceremony around 10:30 that evening. This year Eugene made medals for 1st-3rd places for both guys and girls. I won 2nd for the girls only trailing by 10 points from 1st place! Whew...what a day!

Charleston continued...

The rest of the long weekend was devoted to hanging with my dear friends Anna and Blair. Our friend Jen rode down with me, so we enjoyed some much needed girl time while Blair was working. He was able to join us for evening festivities.


It's a Charleston Wedding!

Thursday evening I went down for Mandi and Ryan's beautiful wedding! After dating for 11 years, they finally decided to make it official. Since they were getting married on a Friday at 4:30 I was going to have to take the day off from work to make it in time. So, I offered to help if needed on Friday. Well, I became the wedding decorator! I met at 10 that morning to begin the transformation; then went back to meet the florist at 3:00. By the time I made it back, the flowers were all set and the cake was no where to be found! By this time it was 30 minutes late. After the bride arrived and had her pictures taken, I got a little worried. I got the number and my most direct voice ready and demanded the cake be delivered since it was now an hour late. I informed them I would be calling back in 15 minutes if it had not arrivied. Lucky for them, the cake arrived with 2 minutes to spare. Of course, the florist had to leave for another event so I became the cake decorator placing flowers on the cake as directed. For awhile there I felt like Martha Gribble, the wedding director. Maybe we should get together. We could be on to something here!
