Big Brother's Wedding Weekend

My big brother, Andy, and new sister in law, Lindsey, were married last weekend!  The wedding was in Florence, Alabama and everything was absolutely beautiful!  My parents and I drove down (over?) to Alabama on the Thursday before the wedding.  Hubby stayed at home to hood his younger brother, Travis, in his medical school graduation ceremony. 

When we arrived in Florence, we checked into the hotel (which was new and fabulous) and then the festivities began!

On Friday for brunch, my Mom and I attended a bridesmaid luncheon at a bed and breakfast.

My Mom, Me, My Cousin Lauren, and Aunt Chrissy

Later that day, we had the wedding rehearsal and then the rehearsal dinner on the Pickwick Belle that evening. 

My Mom, Dad, two of our friends and I decorated the boat before the Rehearsal dinner.  It was beautiful!

Lanterns, magnolia flowers and leaves...

Then the party went downstairs for dinner, a slideshow and some laughs

Supper was DELICIOUS catered by Sweet Basil in Florence.  Barbecue, mac & cheese, green beans...YUMMY.....

 Next up...Saturday! The Wedding!! :)

First of many weddings & a Giveaway!

On Saturday, Hubs & I went to our friends wedding. It was in Roanoke so it was fun to get dressed up and have a night out on the town :) I went to high school with both the Bride & Groom and the Bride and I both went to Virginia Tech for undergrad. They are an amazing couple and I'm so happy for them! I hate that we are moving away but hope we keep in touch with all the amazing friends we have made in Virginia. Here are some pics from the wedding...

Getaway car :)

I'm a little jealous (okay- alot) of these two crazy kids that are in the Domincan Republic for their Honeymoon while I'm here in VA working and packing ;)  Jarod and I went to the DR on our Honeymoon and we both want to go back before we have kids (we have awhile, folks! At least 3 years..ha ha)

Also, check out this giveaway that's going on over at one of the blogs I follow!  You could be the lucky winner of a beautiful lamp shade from Lamp Shade Designs!  You can be entered a number of times depending on what you follow/blog/facebook about :)  Go on and check it out- maybe you'll be the lucky winner!

On another note- only 5 weeks until we move down to South GA!  Our house is almost complete and we are packing up during the evenings & weekends!  :)  Will post new house pics soon!

Have a GREAT Tuesday!!!



Office & graduation party

While in South GA, we also were able to see Hub's office for the first time as well!  We have a busy road ahead of us but are super excited to get down there, move in, and start working.  Hub's was like a kid in a candy shop when he saw his office for the first time :)

Outside of the building- we'll have a sign up with the name of the practice and we're going to change/update the landscaping once we're down there

Inside of the waiting room- going to have a flatscreen up on the wall for patients

first patient room- Frankdawg doing his thing :)

While we were down there, Hub's cousin graduated from college so we went to his graduation party!  We were able to see all the cousins and even their sweet little babies :)

We are looking forward to moving down and seeing everyone on a more constant bases.  Unfortunately, I didn't get a pick with the graduate who was playing volleyball the whole time :)

Weekend in South GA- Post 1

Last weekend, Hubs & I flew down to South GA to FINALLY see our house that is being built!  We had tons of meetings for the start up of Hub's medical practice and everything that goes along with that.  We had a really good trip- finalized alot of things, saw the house, and spent time with family!

Bahama Mama

A few weekends ago, Jarod's parents took us and Jarod's brother & his wife on a cruise to the Bahamas!  It was a bittersweet trip because the week after we got back, my brother & sister in law moved to Michigan.  We all had a wonderful time on the cruise & I can't wait until we can all go again (on a week long one!)
