Yes friends and fellow bloggers… after many inquisitve questions about “how did it happen”, and “what did he say”, here is the breakdown of events from our engagement weekend in Charleston. Back up a few months: Jeff and I had been talking about planning a weekend romantic getaway trip to a Southern city since last […]

OK, so a little bragging might be taking place here, but to be completely honest, I never win anything! {no really, the worst luck ever}–but that’s beside the point, because one of my favorite bloggers recently posted a giveaway so I entered thinking “this is fun. i’ll never win, but what a great giveaway”… and believe it […]

I know… I have been MIA since last week, but for a GREAT reason! I have been so excited to re-enter the “real world” after this whirlwind of a weekend to announce to all my friends and family that it’s official… Jeff and I are getting MARRIED!!! {honestly, I still can’t believe all of this […]

with last week’s first ever installment of “fashionable friday” dedicated to my favorite ensemble element- the dress, this week i wanted to take a moment to mention the one item we can never leave home without–just like the American Express commercial… my favorite accessory {and yours i’m sure}: the purse! **and as an FYI to my friends who […]

Warning Friends: this could get ugly! My apologies upfront for what I may say and if I offend anyone, but I’m fuming and for those that know me well, you’ll completely understand why… To put it nicely, this man better get the heck out of Knoxville before some crazy Tennessee fans so LOCO on him and […]

this is it… the post i have been thinking about all weekend- i feel like i share any and everything about my personal life with all my blogging friends so this won’t come as a surprise to those of you who have been reading for awhile, but jeff and i bought out first home this […]

A BIG thank you goes out to Jessica at Party Box Design for this award…I always feel so special when people nominate you for small, but really kind gestures–so very sweet! And if you’re not a regular reader of this gal, hop on over to her blog for great party ideas and tips and the […]

Finally, the most blessed day of my week is here… and it’s been calling my name ALL week. Why is that after we have short work weeks {due to the holidays}, it looks like there is nothing to look forward to after the rush rush of Christmas and New Years?? It’s like I bundle up for […]
