Leavin on a Jet Plane

Plane tickets.... Check!
Hotel reservations... Check!
Passports... Check!

It's official! Keith and I are going to Greece at the end of May! Our trip is going to include stays in Athens, Santorini and Milos. All of these places are full of history and, of course, are incredibly scenic. We're so excited and can not wait for this once in a lifetime vacation! The only downside is that several more months of work separate us from Greece.

Our Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day, roadtrip and a wedding... what a weekend!

Keith and I celebrated Valentine's Day Friday night. He cooked an excellent dinner for us (crab stuffed tilapia) and then for dessert surprised me with my favorite... Gigi's cupcakes!!


Saturday we had to get up early and get on the road. We were already in Georgia when Aimee called with the bad news. She went to our house to pick up Darcy and discovered our overnight bag in the driveway! Apparently when we left we backed over the bag and didn't even notice! Luckily, nothing was ruined or broken. Also, my dress and Keith's suit were hanging in the car so I just had to get a new pair of shoes. Great excuse, right? Keith couldn't say no. :)

Erin and Blake's wedding was beautiful! She wore her mom's wedding dress (with a few changes) and looked gorgeous and Blake was in full Marine uniform. They are such a sweet couple. Unfortunately, my camera wasn't cooperative so I don't have many pictures, but here are a few:

Just As I Am

Today was extraordinarily windy. While I was walking into the building for work I thought of how glamorous so many girls look with their hair blowing in the wind. Not me! I was a mess! Not only was my hair in my face and stuck to my lipgloss, but my heel got stuck in a crack in the sidewalk. So, I'm kinda awkward and definitely not the most graceful. Lucky for me Keith loves me anyway and he reminded me with an early Valentine's Day gift... a bouquet on my doorstep :)


We're spending February 14 in Norcross, Ga at my cousin's wedding. Happy Valentine's Day/Wedding Erin and Blake!

Wedding Season Begins!

This weekend kicked off the 2009 wedding season for Keith and me. So far we've been invited to 9 weddings, are attending 7, and Keith is in 2 and I'm in 2. Add showers and parties and we're pretty much booked every weekend. We are so excited for all of our soon to be newlywed friends and can't wait to be a part of their big days!
Wedding season started with a bridal shower for Ann Claire. She got so many great things and we had the best time! (Pictures coming soon.) Becky came in town- woohoo! - so after the shower our girls weekend continued with Mexican (which I also had Friday night. Seriously, I can't get enough.) and the movie He's Just Not That Into You. I thought it was super cute and of course I cried. I dare anyone to name a movie that I've seen and didn't cry. It's not possible.
Brunch was at The Phunky Griddle again on Sunday.
The griddle is built into the middle of the table for easy, do it yourself pancakes.

Blueberry, chocolate chip and banana pancakes... yum!


While I was having a fun girls weekend Keith stayed home and:

  • Did our taxes
  • Rented a "snake" from Home Depot and cleaned our drains
  • Fixed our mailbox
  • Cleaned the garage- it was driving me crazy
  • Did laundry and dishes

How great is he! :)

Since Sunday was BEAUTIFUL Keith, Aimee and I took advantage and spent the day outside with the dogs. There's a great area of fields where we let the dogs loose to run and then took them to the river to cool off.

What a busy, productive weekend... we wouldn't have it any other way!
