Blue Waters

A view from my perch! We went to the beach for a few hours this weekend–despite “Tropical Storm” Bonnie, the weather was BEAUTIFUL and the water was in it’s usual pristine crystal clear state. It’s so easy to take things for granted. I don’t want to do that. We live 10 minutes from this beach–our […]

My cousin is MARRIED

There are 9 grandchildren on my dad’s side of the family. We are all so close–we’re like siblings, except for that we haven’t ever lived together–with the exception of a week every summer with Grandmama and Grandaddy. Needless to say, Elizabeth getting married was huge. She was the first. Now, you must understand–we think being […]

A rail full of bathing suits, hats, towels, and other items soaked in […]

We’re Engaged: Photo Peek

I have no words, but I will attempt. Some thought we were crazy for wanting engagement photos. Why would we spend money for pictures of us when we’re spending money for wedding pictures? Why not just have anyone take a picture of you two to use for save the dates? Why not just go out […]

Wednesday Randoms

This evening was lovely. A solid run, a yummy salad, some relaxation, successful Target shopping, a quick visit with my fiance, and the most amazing dessert ever. Thanks to my friend Laura, I am learning to crochet. She sent me this book a few weeks ago and I’ve finally had the chance to open it […]
