My Best Friend's Wedding

We headed east on Thursday morning for the rehearsal & bridal luncheon.  We went to South Port for lunch at Fishy Fishy after the rehearsal then took the Fort Fisher Ferry back to Carolina Beach after exploring South Port for awhile.  After checking into our Hotel in the Historic district of Wilmington(beautiful!) we went to the Lazy Pirate for a pre-wedding celebration.  It was a great way to start the wedding weekend...

The Beautiful Bride, My Daughter & Myself

Jen did an amazing job planning the wedding.  I saw details of her everywhere through out the evening.  The wedding/reception was beautiful & tons of fun.  

A little caffeine

 to get things going!

A few snap shots from my cell phone:

My daughter with her Godmother (the bride)...she was a beautiful bridesmaid and had a blast.

My hot date for the evening...my husband 

A photo of my sweet girl & I

A few of the beautiful bridesmaids 

This shot I pulled of my camera last night...She takes my breath away.  A beautiful bridesmaid in her Godmother's wedding.  I am glad my daughter got to experience this weekend with not only her Godmother but several other of my closest friends that I grew up with.  The memories & stories told I am sure she will never forget.  Some we might want her to forget:)

This photo is priceless...I love the ring bearer looking over trying to figure out what all the girls want!

 Jen the bride, Meagan, Amanda & I performed a dance in a talent competition to "Straight up now Tell Me" when we were little.  All the sudden during her reception that song came on.  She thought it would be a great idea for us to perform for everyone.  It did not go well for me the first time many years ago...I knew it wouldn't go well again!   Jen & Meagan were ready to preform again and it was a great laugh!  We were just missing our hats and the routine.:)

I will cherish this weekend always.  I am very happy Jen found Mac.  They are perfect for each other.

This Fall...

"Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall" 

- F. Scott Fitzgerald

My sister gave me this old Pepsi crate this morning which then made me talk my husband into stopping to get a few pumpkins & gourds.  I found the little pumpkin patch sign a couple weeks ago and was just trying to figure out where to put it.   My sister solved that problem when she passed along the crate to me.  I love the weather out side and the signs of fall all around.  Time to plan a trip with my family to the pumpkin patch & corn maze.  

Caffeine, Carpool, Cocktails, Repeat...what?

For the days when it feels like all you do is

make it to carpool line on time!

Also just because they are cute!

Wine Anyone?

Very excited about these little gems I picked up from the winery last week.  I enjoyed a quick wine tasting at Neusiok Wines located locally in Raleigh NC.  I hope my clients enjoy celebrating their new home with a wonderful glass of wine.  Great way to relax after the big move!
