Better late than never?!?

Hubs & I had the opportunity to take a trip to San Francisco back at the end of October for a medical conference he had to attend, so we jumped on the chance and had a FABULOUS time!! We were there for 5 full days and even though Jarod went to many of the conference lectures, we were still able to get out and enjoy the city!  Here's some pics from our trip...

 First day at Fisherman's Wharf!  Rainy cold day...

We really enjoyed our time and definitely want to visit again!  Photos courtesy of my new DSLR camera Hubs surprised me with before we left!! :)

Christmas cards galore!!!

Guess what I get for telling how AWESOME shutterfly is AND that I'm getting 50 free Christmas cards?? I've never ordered anything but pictures from there but let me tell you how excited I am to order Christmas cards and when the time comes...birth announcements and so much more! I love receiving emails from shutterfly telling me how to get FABULOUS deals and especially free stuff!!

And guess what?!?  You can do this too!  Just go to this link and fill out the survey, then they will send you an email with the directions for you to follow. It's easy and is saving you $50!

I haven't decided which one I'm going to pick yet but really like the following cards:

I think I'll go with a card that has room for just one picture since it's just me and Jarod right now (and our dog Lilly!)  I like how you can change the sayings to say what YOU want to say! :)

Here are some other ideas for using Shutterfly- these would make GREAT Christmas presents too!

Happy card hunting!! :)

"I left my heart in San Francisco"

A Hokie's first trip to "Saturday in Athens"

Jarod's Dad worked his booty off to get six tickets to UGA's homecoming game against Vanderbuilt for all of us.  I have grown up a Virginia Tech Hokie and graduated from there in 2007, so this was my first picnic watching the Dawgs play football (at their home stadium- VT and UGA played in a bowl game a few years ago which my Hokies lost so we won't talk about that).  I absolutely loved the atmosphere and had a wonderful weekend with the family!!  Jarod and I drove down Friday night and met his parents and we all went to dinner at PF Changs at the Mall of Georgia.  This is one of our FAVORITE restaurants and it never disappoints!  If you've never eaten at one, you MUST try it!  Everything is amazing and the portions are big enough to split, which is a plus! 
Mandy & Travis drove down later on Friday night and we all went to the game on Saturday. It was pretty special because we got to see Uga VIII inducted!!  Enjoy the pics!

Go Dawgs!!  (Still and ALWAYS a Hokie though!) :)

Lilly's 2nd Birthday Bash

Our first born pup, Lilly, whom we love more than any human should love an animal, turned a big 2 years old on October 20th!!!!  Being the good Mommy that I am, I stopped by Petsmart and picked up some goodies for our little girl. 

As you can tell, she was pretty excited about the events that were happening!  She absolutely LOVED her supper that Chef Michaels created just for her- filet mignon, and throughly enjoyed her cookie treats.  Unfortunately, Ms. Piggy only was with us for a few days.  Lilly chewed off her legs and Ms. Piggy took a trip to the dump. 

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY LILLYBUG!!!! We love you more than words can say! :)

Promised Wedding Pictures!

As promised, here are some pictures from our wedding!

Those are just a handful of pictures! Our photographer, Sam Stroud, was absolutely amazing! It was hard to pick ones to put on here!  Hope you are having a wonderful Thursday! I sure am ready for this week to be over!  Jarod is actually off this weekend (with the exception of working Saturday morning a few hours) so we are planning on spending lots of time together! :)

Happy Thursday!
