My Charming Charleston

Enjoy Charleston Native Darius Rucker's new video for

Come Back Song

I've heard the song a dozen times on the radio but just saw the video for the first time on Hallie's Blog- Southern Dash of Sass. It really captures downtown and the harbor beautifully.

If any of my readers are ever in the area, please let me know. I'd love to show you around.

P.S. He always comes into my Spa to buy his wife gift certificates. :)
P.P.S. I live 2 miles away from a Sonic. Oh yea, Charleston has it going on.

Manhattan

Composite photo of Manhattan in 1609 vs now. It reminds me of a book I read a couple years ago called Forever by Pete Hamill . It's a story of an Irish Immigrant who is cursed with immortality who arrives when New York was just founded. He is not allowed to leave the island of Manhattan and becomes witness to how the city develops all the way to the attacks of September 11th.

Welcome to Hotel Carolina

Matt and I had a great weekend at the Hotel Carolina Concert Weekend on Isle of Palms. There were lots of great singer-songwriter artists that came and jammed out for the whole weekend.

Here is Joe Firstman, our roommate for the weekend. Y'all need to check him out.

Saturday morning hangover. I call this one Jameson Whiskey. OUCH!

I'm the creepy lady taking pics of little kids. She was just too sweet.

Matt and Joe playing football... the day before it was baseball

Hurricanes out in the Atlantic made the water rough.

Saturday night: Josh Hoge, Matt Duke, Tony Lucca and Joe Firstman.

Though a bit glutenous, it was a great way to spend one the last weekends of Summer.

Ahhhh Gatorade.

P.S. thanks KIKI for house sitting and taking care of Scout.

Cookie Swap

Charleston Bloggers and Friends:
Are any of you interested in doing a Cookie Swap?
I was just inspired by Joanna at Cup of Jo.

Cookies made with love by my mom for my wedding.

He Put a Ring on It

2 Years Ago Matt proposed to me.

August 24, 2008

Sitting on our bench on Pitt Street Pier, looking out over Charleston Harbor, and BAM.. he popped THE question.

I can't believe that we've been married now for almost a year.

Time is flying by... a little too fast.
