I’m back from Austin–thank the lord! Lovely little city by the river {yes, I saw the bats fly from the Congress bridge and walked up and down 6th Street, even checking out a few of the bars}, but there’s no place like home… random thoughts for the day: 1. I despise airport food–trying to maintain […]

**Still in Austin friends, but coming home today and cannot wait to be back in Music City–promise to not be MIA again for awhile 😉 Yes, I know, it’s been a few since I have updated you on our wedding planning… BUT, I do have some big news to share: last week, Jeff booked our […]

Last weekend while visiting with friends in Knoxville, a rather good acquaintance {that’s you Bielen!} reminded me that I hadn’t posted any house updates recently and she was wanting to see more progress on our little house. With that in mind, here is a little update on where we stand and what’s coming next: The […]

It’s here ladies–Fabulous Friday. Why is it that it seems that 4-day work weeks actually last longer than the normal ones?? Strange to me, but I swear I can’t be the only one who thinks this way. Here in Nashville, the temperature has dropped a few degrees–we’re actually in the mid 80’s–but it’s dreary outside […]

Oh…this morning’s weather has me thinking FALL FALL FALL!! Perfect to coincide with Taylor’s weekly Top 2 Tuesday for this week… Top 2 favorite things about fall 1. Festivals and Family Fun Every year, my Mom makes a list of all the things going on in and around Nashville surrounding everything that is fall, and […]

With the fall kicking into high gear, Jeff kindly let me know (hint, hint) that he wanted to take a mini-vacation for just the two of us to escape and sneak off for some fun together. Isn’t he sweet?? He made plans all by himself and might I add, for a planner like myself, this […]

You heard it correctly people—it’s FINALLY fall! Summer used to be my favorite season, however, after the monstrous summer filled with nonstop heat and humidity, I have decided I am so appreciative of everything that fall has to offer… 1. Football—as if you didn’t know where my heart truly is… it belongs in Knoxville, TN […]

Finally, another “I-can-cross-another-big-item” of my checklist this week! I know, you were hoping I hadn’t gotten too sidetracked, right?? Well, just as I had mentioned in a previous post, my Mom and I had met with three fantastic florists here in Nashville and were presented with the difficult decision of having to choose just one.
