Good Monday Morning!

We are officially back from vacation and I'm not gonna lie and say I didn't pout and not want to leave...Trust me, the hubby did much of the same! :)

Here are some snapshots courtesy of my i-phone and instagram so the quality may not be super perfect, but they captured the moments for me.  We went to St. Simons Island, GA. which is where my hubby's family (and now me!) like to vacation...It's super peaceful and slow paced.  When you go everyone is on "Island Time".  We stayed in the beautiful Ruby Cottage.  The only downside was the elevator was out of order, so we had three flights of stairs to tackle...we all got our workout in daily on those suckers...they were steep!

We had great food, sun, family, love, and fun in SSI! :)  (Sidenote; I ran into a professor from back home...Weird, right?!  I mean...seated RIGHT across from me our first night on the Island at dinner!).

These were the clouds above us the first day by the beach/pool...Like puffy cotton balls!

This was my view from the pool - Our house was the second one on the right...Bliss, I tell you!! :)

New monogrammed hat...It kept my face from getting burned probably for the first time since I was 13!!

Hubby and I at Georgia Sea Grill our second night there...

Me, Hubby, and In-Laws at GSG.

Hubby and his dad...I always have to get a pic of them together every vacation....To me they look more and more alike every year!

My view right off of our bedroom...A good glass of vino and a James Patterson novel...Perfection!!  I could watch, hear, and smell the ocean!

Just a quick pic of Porter Pug...We get to pick them up today to come home!  Yay! :)

Ron White and MIX

Our sweet cousins came and stayed with us this weekend...Us girls got some shopping in and it was an overall fun weekend.  We went and saw Ron White at the River Center and then went dancing at MIX a new dance club/restaurant in Columbus - SUCH fabulous drinks and SUCH good music and dancing!  I have not had that much fun in forever!  Here is the only photo from the night courtesy of MIX

Georgia, David, me, and hubby

4 Years

It seems crazy to me that four years ago today at 5 p.m. I married the man of my dreams, best friend, and soul mate. 

Tonight we are eating dinner at Meritage where I recently had my birthday dinner and where we also happened to have our rehearsal dinner four years ago.  If you are ever in Columbus, GA-GO there!  Mrs. Faye is wonderful and so is her food and wine - You are truly missing out if you have never been! 

I got the hubby a bottle of Hennessey XO and I got a beautiful pair of earrings from Schomburgs who did both our of rings for our wedding.  They are beautiful and go perfectly with the ring I got last year for our Anniversary - I am a sucker for jewelry - Forget the flowers and all - just buy me jewels :) 

Hope everyone has a blessed day - Each day I get to spend with the sweet man pictured above is a blessed one for me :)

My wonderfully sweet hubby organized a surprise bday dinner for me Friday night after my Chi Sigma Iota induction ceremony...My birthday was on a Wednesday, so this was a nice surprise to end the week with! Meritage has the most delicious food and Ms. Faye, the owner, is so sweet! I am so blessed to have had such a wonderful night with family and friends...Here are some snapshots from the night...

Happy Easter - 2012

Happy Easter from the Mr., Porter, Priscilla, and myself! I am BACKKKK!!! Boy have I missed blogger, but I do have to say it has given me more quality time with my hubby, time for grad school, and time to do more reading. I have been IMMERSED in the books "50 Shades of Grey"...If you haven't read these three books...RUN to the store and get them. They are the bomb.com! Also, I have been battling sinusitis and eye infections due to said sinusitis...NO FUN, friends. It involves burning eye drops and the wearing of the Lilly glasses :). Hope you all had a blessed Easter...Our Church service was phenomenal and I feel so blessed to have recieved the message. Pugs and Kisses!! T
