It's been a while...

My apologies, I know- its been too long! I feel like I accidently took a summer hiatus.  And, the bad news is I am about to be out of pocket for another two weeks! So, I am sneaking in this post at work really quick before leaving to go to a co-workers Birthday lunch that I had planned today.

So I think I left off around my cousin, Tiffany's, bridal luncheon and bachelorette weekend at the end of June!  It was so much fun!  The cake that I had made was gorgeous and served as the center piece at The Swan House for the luncheon and for her bachelorette pre-party at my house.

 Kevin and I hopped over to our other cousin's wedding shower (Maggie and Greg who are getting married in October) from 3-6pm that Saturday.  Then we made it back quickly to prepare for Tiffany's evening portion of events...the Bachelorette party.  It kicked off at my house and then we went for fondue, followed by some dance clubs and bars.  It was really fun- and I hope Tiffany enjoyed every minute! It was so much fun planning the events with my sister, the MOH, and Tiffany's other bridesmaid, Rhonda!

The next weekend was 4th of July- which should have been renamed- the big RAIN of July.  We were up at the Lake in Toxaway and it seemed to rain all week long! The boat parade which usually has 10+ boats in it, had a measely 4 or 5.  But we got to sit on the dock and watch the fireworks and it was magnificent as usual!

Kevin and I went back up to the lake for July 7-10th.  It was a fun get away before the back to back weddings we have coming up!

A while back I asked my cousin's daughter, Madeleine if she would be a flower girl in our wedding.  She accepted (she is only 2) so really her mother, Ashley accepted.  Ashley was a flower girl in my parents wedding so this is keeping the tradition alive! So now we have 3 flower girls for our wedding and we couldn't be more excited about including them in our wedding!

This week we got the SAVE THE DATES in the mail which I had custom designed! I am so so thrilled at how they turned out! Can't wait for y'all to get them! I hope you love them as much as I do!

We also decided on our band for the wedding...keeping it a surprise because they are THAT GOOD! Kevin and I are so excited about their energy! It's going to be quite a PAR-TAY!

This weekend we are stealing in one more lake weekend (hooray we made it three weeks this summer to the lake!), then it's off to Austin, TX next Thursday for Tiffany and Parker's wedding weekend extravaganza! 

Then the first weekend in August, we are headed to Davidson for my bridesmaid and close high school pal, Kittery's wedding! We will be picking up my other bridesmaid's Amrita and Whitney and heading to stay with my sister for one night in Charlotte, then to Davidson for the big shindig! Kittery was so cute and already sent us girls our schedule of events for the festivities! We are so happy for Kittery and Artie!

So, that's what Kevin and I have been up to in a nutshell! Of course we have been going to a few Braves games and trying out new restaurants, but that is to be expected!

Hope everyone's summer has been great so far!

XOXO,

Our Whereabouts...

Kevin and I have not had one minute to catch our breath lately.  Last weekend was a lot of fun- so at least we are enjoying the time together even though every minute is programed to the max! Kevin admitted that he wasn't looking forward to our evening plan last Friday night.  We drove an hour and a half outside of Atlanta to Big Canoe to listen to a band that we were interested in for our wedding.  The band is famous for Sinatra-esque music.  Unfortunately for us, we were the only "young" Sinatra lovers in attendance last Friday as you can see from the photo below!

It was an outdoor music concert and you could bring a picnic and listen.  We got there extra early- just early enough to sit through the rain and wait for the concert to start around 7:30pm.

Kevin admitted after the night was over and we were safely back in Atlanta that it was really a lot of fun and he enjoyed our picnic and music- even if we were the only one's there under the age of 50!

Saturday morning we were on the road bright and early to head to Augusta for one of Kevin's collegiate friend's wedding and Father's Day.  Kevin's parents took us to lunch and then I did a quick change for the wedding and we were out the door for a 5pm wedding!  It was really neat to attend a wedding and experience all the details that the couple had put into making their special day come alive!  The reception was at a beautiful old southern mansion! 

We had a fun and relaxing Father's Day with Kevin's father and family-Always a treat to spend time together! Then we hit the road again to get back to Atlanta!  The weeks and weekends keep flying by!

This weekend my cousin and bride to be, Tiffany, is flying in to attend a shower that my sister and I are throwing for her at The Swan House.  We are doing a bachelorette party for her on Saturday night and she flies out on Sunday! I have been preparing all afternoon and Jenna and Tiffany should be here any minute! Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!
