Moving on...

So pretty soon

this won't be my morning view 

I guess it's appropriate that as summer ends, our time living at the lake is ending, as well

I guess subconsciously we might have waited this long to buy a house because we knew that the sooner we bought the sooner we'd have to say goodbye to views like this

So in two short weeks we will bid adieu to our little pink house

Good thing its only 20 minutes away from our new place

We've have loved our afternoon walks and boatrides

Living on the lake is really peaceful and beautiful - we've made lots of fun memories in just

 4 short months

I can't wait to reveal our new place 

I'm waiting to share it with y'all till it's officially ours

It's cute

It has lots of closet space 

and 

more than one bathroom

WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!

Y'all have no idea how excited I am about this!

So, I'm a happy girl

In the meantime, I'm busy picking new carpet for the bedrooms

I brought home about 8 samples the other day, and T response was

"We don't need all these samples!  They all look the same!!!"

At least I know now my husband has a very detailed eye and he will probably be happy with whatever I pick out

I went shopping this past weekend for a new kitchen table, but all I came home with were these 

antique planters

which were a steal

and 

i looooove them

and this witchy woman

Very excited about our new move

and my new closet

Hope everyone has a great day!

Happy Thursday, Loves!

Another Day at the Lake

Hi friends!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

We had some much-needed/much-welcome cool weather!

Yes, cool in South Georgia!

Hooray for FALL!   My favorite season!

I digress

Anyway,

T and I visited his sister and her family a few weekends ago in Murfreesboro, TN

After a lovely Friday night in downtown Murfreesboro (their downtown is too cute), we packed up and headed to Center Hill Lake about an hour away.

Let me tell you, this lake is BEAUTIFUL

I love Lake Blackshear (which has been our home for the past 5 months)

but

lets just say its a little muddy!

Center Hill Lake is not!

It's practically crystal clear!

You can see your toes when you jump in! 

and its surrounded by mountains, which make it even more gorgeous!

The crew headed to the boat

The boys couldn't wait to get on the tube

where they stayed all day!

The neat thing about this place is that there are very few docks on the water

I think I saw maybe 5 or 6 docks the whole day

I thought that it would be a pain to have to drive down to the lake to get on the boat, but it actually makes the lake so much more serene and natural looking not to be crowded with docks

You know what is not beautiful?

That Auburn shirt :)

(T was in quite the mood this weekend after AU's loss to Clemson - (Luckily, I went shopping Saturday, so I missed his meltdown)

The lake also has several waterfalls, which are gorg!

Look at the blue water!

Boys still on the tube

This is the most beautiful place on the lake

It looks almost too perfect to be real

How beautiful is that rock

You know a place is awesome when you comment on how pretty the rocks are!

Show off

Also a good place to dive

I was scared to death, but I did jump

once

Our captain for the day

Lunch!

After seeing Alan Jackson's lake house (which is amazing), T did a bit of skiing

and I did some tubing..

You know you're old when the first thing you do when you get off a tube is ask for an Advil...

Fun times!

Anyway, hope everyone had a fab weekend!

River Rat: Part 1 - Lake Blackshear!

Hi all!

I can't believe summer is almost over

especially because its still 110 degrees outside!

But I know fall will be here soon, so we have been soaking up time on the lake

My brother came to visit a few weekends ago and we spent the weekend cruising the muddy waters of Lake Blackshear.  Then, last week, we headed to Center Hill Lake in Tennessee to visit T's sister.  So we are officially river rats.  Somehow, even with all this time on the lake, I'm pale?  Maybe I should have chilled on  the 100 sunscreen?!?

Anyway, so here are some pics from our weekend with my brother!

My fav spot...

T scoping out the lake scene at 10 AM 

It was gorgeous day!

The are my sort of sad zinnias - I wish I had a green thumb

It did manage to produce a few beautiful flowers

Rallying the troops - time to get on the boat

Our little house

We are house hunting this weekend, so we might be moving out of the pink house soon

Maybe our next house will be pink too - who knows?!?

Can you believe those chairs are from Winn-Dixie?

You never know what you'll find at the grocery store

We ate lunch at a place called Booger Bottom - yes, I ate there

Despite the name, they have an amazing cheeseburger 

After lunch we headed to the marina

The worst part of the day...

because of this...

Urg...

Being a river rat is not cheap

We headed to the sandbar after getting gas

This was the best part of the day

My lovely tire float...

So classy...

Brother getting a tan

We are definitely related

We tan realllly easily

then we lose it realllly fast

Who wants a house boat?!?

We could have a killer blog party on this thing!

I wonder if its seaworthy? 

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

I'll be back with pics from our visit to Center Hill Lake soon!
