Escape

Hey guys!

Hope everyone had a Happy Easter!

T and I headed to the beach with my parents for a little break and enjoyed every minute of our mini-vacation!  We had a great time in Hilton Head - is it just me or is this place super relaxing?

It was perfect weather - not too hot, but not too cold

excellent morning walk weather!

There were dozens of these jellyfish on the beach, which we managed to avoid - I wasn't sure if a dead jellyfish could still sting, and I didn't want to find out.  Ugh.  I hate those things.

I also realized while putting on my bathing suit I may have a slight problem...called hips

I wear small top...

and a large bottom...

ugh.

oh well...

I decided to wash away my sorrows with a daily afternoon cocktail at the pool bar - at $10 a pop I didnt get to indulge too much!  

 

For dinner one night we headed to Boathouse restaurant, which I would highly recommended!  We had to wait an hour, but the scenery was beautiful so we didn't mind too much.  I even managed to shoot a few pictures with my "good camera"...

Dad and T checking out the boats

Such a pretty afternoon on the water - I wish we could have taken that boat for a spin!  Reminds me of living in Savannah!

Glorious!

See I told you it was peaceful there!

My squinty parents!

I was so glad they let us tag along on there vaca

Dad studying the menu!

It was a tough decision obviously

These people were sitting next to us - and of course being a Bulldawg fan I had to snap a picture of their precious dog.  I emailed them these pics because it was just too cute.  Those dogs just have a personality of their own - I love it!

Watching the pup play

T and I managed to take one picture together!

All and all it was a relaxing time and we were so thankful for a little break from reality!

Hope your Easter was wonderful as well!

PS.

So excited for Bubba Watson!  The former Bulldawg who just won the Masters!  His wife played basketball at UGA and according to my parents, who are big supporters of that program, she is super sweet.  She and Bubba just adopted a baby boy, too!  What a wonderful Easter for that family!

Go Dawgs and Bubba!

Toooo cute

Hi friends!

Hope everyone is having a nice week so far!  I spotted this while reading Country Living magazine in the doctor's office today and had to snap a pic so I could share...

How adorable is this beehive pinata?

Perfect for a kid's birthday party or even a summertime cookout for adults.

Either way...it was just way too cute not to share.

good times...

Hey friends!  Sorry for the lack of posting around here, but my parents have kidnapped my "good" camera, so I haven't taken too many pics of late...And, we are, as usual, busy.  I must say it is the good kind of busy though.  I haven't posted much about our move to Americus, but I must say we really have loved it here.  Its nice to be closer to family and friends (even my parent's are 3 hours closer now!).  We have also really making over our new house - we have made some big changes so far.  I know I keep promising before and after pics but I'm assure you they are coming soon!!!  Very excited to share!

Anyway, since I have taken many "good" pics, I thought I'd share what is on my cellphone as of late...

Lots of random shots but bare with me :)

I took this pic a few weeks ago while I was at a conference at Lake Lanier - not too shabby of a view :)

I spotted this at the mall while there...

Hysterical!

I def need this for Halloween!

********************

One night after work, T and I randomly popped a bottle of champagne

Sometimes you just need a little cocktail!

********************

Everyday I come home to this...

you see that little black speck on the roof?  Well, that's kitty, Birdie!

She loves to climb on the roof and hangout all day!  It's like her own personal playground!

She is a mess!

********************

We bought this sofa table the other day for our main living room

It was on sale - yay!  Can't wait to pick it up next week!

********************

Birdie and I hanging out one Sunday afternoon

Gah, she is cute :)

********************

I took this picture while I was at my parent's house a few weeks back

My mom gave me this before I left for college and I admit I didn't always obey every single one, but I must say this advice served me well then and now!

******************** 

Spring is officially here!

We have ferns!

Now, lets see how long I can keep them alive!

********************

And Easter is almost here, too - I am headed to Hilton Head for Easter!  Hallelujah!

See my new bunny - it came from Cracker Barrel.  Ha.  Who knew they had such fab decor ;)

Excuse our living room - we are still a work in progress!

********************

Speaking of living rooms, I kind of love this coffee table.

What do yall think?  Too modern looking?

********************

Let's talk about books!

Can I just tell y'all how fabulous the Hunger Games series is?!?

Unreal!

I did not want them to end.  I can't wait for the movie.  I can't believe I'm saying this but they are right up there with Harry Potter!

One of the lawyers in my office gave me this book to read - he worked with the prosecuting attorney in the case.  It's a true story about a woman in Georgia who was found guilty of poisoning four members of her family with arsenic.  So disturbing!  I can't say I recommend it, if you want to sleep at night.  However, it is fascinating in a scary sort of way. 

I'm now reading this:

So does anyone have any "happy" reads?  

I need some uplifting stories after these two!

********************

I did a little faux flower arranging this weekend...

I really am not a fan of fakies, but I may keep these around for awhile...

What do you think?

********************

Our new white living room

Such a big change from deep red!  Makes it feel much bigger!

Several more things to do in here before its complete, but this was a huge step!

 ********************

This weekend I did a little bargain shopping

My new pink coat!

Pretty good deal if you consider it was 188.00!

I hope we have a winter next year so I can wear it!

and a new dress

Love the little pop of pink of the cuffs!

and loved the price tag!

Yay for good deals!

Well, thats all for now!

Hope everyone is enjoying this warm weather!

Much Love.
