Sunday Funday!

I just slept 12 hours! It was wonderful. I think it was a combination of lack of sleep and the pouring rain. Austin and I both woke up at 5:30 this morning to thunder, lightning, hail and the loudest rain we've ever heard. Great sleeping weather! Today, I plan to do a whole-lotta nothing! Sunday Funday is in full effect.

I would normally complain about the rainy weekend. But for some reason it made me be super productive yesterday. I went to hot yoga, helped Austin up at the store, I packed for Vegas, I had someone come give me estimate to clean the house, and I cleaned out all the closets to find stuff for our neighborhood yard sale! Last night Austin and I went to Donna and Ricky's to celebrate his 28th birthday! They had fixed steaks, baked potato's, corn on the cob and carrot cake! Yum.

In other news, I am five short days away from leaving for LAS VEGAS for Ashley's bachelorette weekend! Can't wait!

AND, I just booked my plane ticket to Mount Glacier, Montana, for Meg and Bennett's wedding!

Wedding Showers AND Colorado!

Ashley had her first shower two weeks ago in Habersham - here's a bridesmaid pic of me, Ash, Britt & Sarah!
And last night was Ashley and Sam's couple's shower in Gainesville - given by Ashley's awesome bridesmaids! The bar-b-que-themed shower was a huge success - we had a great turn out of people and beautiful weather...
The Honey-Do Cake :)
AND we surprised Ash and Sam with live music by Clay Coley! He was SO GOOD! I highly recommend him for your next party.

In other news...Brooke and Andrew found out last Thursday that they are moving to Colorado!!!!!!!!! Andrew was matched for his internal medicine residency in CO and they will be moving this summer. I'm so very excited for Dr. and Mrs. Andrew Johnson!

There Aren't Enough Days in the Weekend...

"There Aren't Enough Days in the Weekend." - Rob Schmidt

Whoever this Rob guy was really knew his stuff. The weekends never do last long enough! This one especially - as it was 70-degrees and sunny!

On Friday, Austin and I drove to Gainesville for Supper Club. Courtney & Zach Allgood were this month's host and they put together a fabulous dinner - homemade lasagna and chicken parmesan! It was wonderful catching up with everyone and thank you to the wonderful hosts!
Me & Katy Paige!
Chris, Kyle, Zach & Austin
Hav, Caroline, me, Britt & KP, Chels and Court!
On Saturday, I went to hot yoga, ate lunch in downtown Woodstock and went to one of my fav boutiques, HoneyButter. Love my new Glam dresses!
I spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing with the girls on the back porch! Couldn't have asked for better weather...
Ella sunbathing!
The Huddy-man!
Ella being the princess & making her mommy be the prince! So cute!
The Rhoads' came over on Saturday night - all four of them! As always, it was great catching up with Clayton & Jenny and Colin & Adrienne!

On Sunday, I went to Watermarke Church with Brittney and then lunch at the Club. And I guess the time change really hit me because I took almost a 3-hour nap Sunday afternoon! Perfect Sunday except now it's time to get ready for the week...hope this weather sticks around!!

Happy Friday!

Hello, Friday! We made it! It's been a super-long week...and I'm ready for the beautiful weekend!

I've been so busy this past week, here's a re-cap of what's been going on...

First, my mom and I finished my downstairs half bath!! Yay! It looks great, the paint is dark brown and the ceiling is light blue. Austin hung my vintage shelf and little Daniel hung my towel hook. Here's a picture of my shelf!

Ashley had her first Recipe Shower last weekend! The shower was in Habersham...Ashley received so much stuff - I'm not sure where it will all go! Next up is Ashley & Sam's couple's shower on March 19th. I can't wait for their surprise !

I also met Katy Paige last Saturday. It was love at first sight. 

In other news, Austin and I have decided to give up sweets for lent. I think he'll give in. He could barely stay away from the homemade banana pudding at Supper Club last night.

And, last night, Austin and I hosted the March Supper Club! Our theme, although kinda boring, was a cook out - we grilled hamburgers and corn on the cobb. Check out my awesome beverage bucket from Havolynne & Austin!
Tonight we are headed to Gainesville (yay!) for our other Supper Club with the Potts, Curtis', Allgoods, Hav & Austin and the Nix's. I am so excited!

Oh, and I'm hosting my first-ever yard sale on Saturday, April 9! This sounds lame, but I'm so excited! It will be so nice to get rid of the stuff sitting in our garage, guest bedrooms, closets, etc. :)

Have a great weekend! Tomorrow it's yoga & lunch in Downtown Canton!

Thanks to all of our wonderful friends that drove to Canton from Gainesville, Atlanta, Athens & Augusta!

Wake up Maggie I think I got something to say to you...
Its late September and I really should be back at school

Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and that's what really hurt

10. And, I'm LOVING my adorable Ella in her new roller skates! Check out this diva last week in Naples, Fl. She's only four and what can I say?...the girl's got style. :)

Happy Hump Day, everyone!! We're halfway through the week!
