Charleston Sundays!

A couple of weeks ago Matt and I ventured downtown with Scout for a lovely Sunday stroll. We spent most of the time at waterfront park. Mostly here because Scout can swim. Yea, we are those people.

I LOVE where I Live!

Wine and Design

A couple of weeks ago Matt and I went to Wine and Design in Mount Pleasant.

We chose the Paint Your Pet Night. I've got to say we have one good looking furry model.

I actually catch her every now and then staring at her portraits.

Beautiful Day in Charleston!

Oh hi there.

Leah.. Thank you for your email!!

MMmmmmm... Steamy Oysters

Hey Girls! Yes, I am alive and well.
What's new with all of you? How is 2012 treating you so far? I'm doing great and enjoying everything that Charleston has to offer. I promise, my hiatus is up.

This past weekend, Matt and I went to an oyster roast celebrating our good friends Tripp and Kensey's engagement. It was a beautiful day with even more beautiful people.





The Oyster Roast was held at the Charleston Rifle Club. It has great views of the Ashley river and who doesn't love a long dock??




Glad to be back. Again, I'm sorry for my absence. How can I make it up to you?

Holiday Lights

Last night Matt and I headed over to James Island. We met up with our friends Amber and Jon at J. Paulz and enjoyed some sushi.

Afterwards dinner, Amber and I sprung it on the boys that we were going to the James Island County Park to drive through and see the lights. The boys huffed and puffed but of course we got them there and we all had a great time.

Sorry for the quality of the pics. Matt was driving a little too fast.

Recovering

Hi ladies... Thanks for sticking with me. I've had a lot going on lately. Maybe I'll share it with you someday, but right now I'm in healing mode. Just letting you know that I'm alive and well. :0)

So how was everyone's Thanksgiving? Mine was wonderful. Matt's mom and sister came to visit us. We had a great time and a house full of people. I have better pictures on my regular camera that I'll post later. Til then here are some iPhone pics.

AnnElise, Meredith, Jake and myself a snuggled in bed watching Charlie and Chocolate Factory.

The kids got up from the floor for one second and Scout took over. I love this dog.

It's good to be back. I missed y'all terribly.

Tips and Toes

If I were to get a manicure today I would go for Gold!!

Perfect for Holiday Parties!!

Turkey on the Brain

So I have Thanksgiving on my mind. Every year I work on the Holiday and the entire weekend after. This year is no different. However, Matt's family is coming to visit. So of course I want to get everything as prepped as possible for his mom and sister.

The past couple of days I've been making the menu. I would love to add something new to the table this year. I was kind of thinking a savory tart (goat cheese & mushroom) or maybe some roasted brussel sprouts.

So let me ask you. What are your must have Thanksgiving table foods? I'm looking for some inspiration.

How I'm feeling

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! I also hope my husband has dinner ready for me once I get home from work.

Bryson City, NC

Ladies and Gentlemen, the wait is over. Finally here are some pictures of our mountain weekend at Lakeview at Fontana.

As we pulled up the first thing I screamed was, "Pumpkins!" What can I say, I love small details.

Matt at the front stoop of our sweet little cabin. Two bedrooms, one bath, living area and kitchen.

Our good friends Amber and Jon went with us. They are the best couple to travel with. Can't wait until our next adventure.

Wine and cheese everyday at 5pm. Here's a tip for you home cooks. They mix pesto and mustard together. It was surprisingly very tasty.

Woke up on Saturday and found this little leaf bug outside our door.

We spent the rest of the day in the Spa, having a long lunch, drinking mimosas, napping, wine and cheese hour and making dinner in our kitchen. Bolognese with salad and bread.

Jon's Spa Head. We all looked like this.

We played cards until 1am and had a dance party in our cabin.

Matt has a heavy hand while pouring. Amber didn't mind.

Overall it was a fantastic weekend with great friends. I would recommend this place to anyone. It's perfect for couples and girlfriends weekends. There is not much to do which is exactly what we all need sometimes.

Scout's getting ready for Halloween

Semi Fall Bucketlist

Even though fall is Half Way over, here are a couple of things I've done and look forward to doing:

Thanks to Laura at Hominy Girl we found the perfect Anniversary destination. We went to the Lakeview at Fontana 2 weekends ago. It's super affordable and had a Spa, Yoga, breakfast and afternoon cheese and wine. It was PERFECTION!! Pictures still too come. Sorry my work schedule has been crazy.

We'll be heading to Starkville, Mississippi on November 12th for the Mississippi State vs. Alabama game. Can't wait to see Matt's family who will be meeting us there.

Scarves, Cardigans, Jeans and Boots.. OH MY!

What are your favorite fall activities?

Pretty Spooky

In the Spirit of Halloween approaching here are some pictures I took today in one of my favorite Charleston graveyards.





I love how everything is overgrown. How could it be scary with so many wildflowers??

Bueller... Bueller

Oh good you're still there. Sorry I've been away.

We went on an awesome Mountain trip last weekend and can't wait to share some pics.

Nice Do

Perfect for a night out or going to a wedding.

2nd Anniversary!

Two years ago today I married my better half. It's funny how fast time has gone by and how much closer we have gotten. I love this man more than anything. Here is to another 100 years.

Phew.. That was rough

Sorry for my absence. I just worked a big 7 day stretch at work and had very long eventful days.

So this morning Scout and I are cuddling up and catching up on blogs, laundry and Giuliana and Bill.

Fall Threads

We had fall-ish weather this past weekend. It was glorious, however I know it will be in the 90's again very shortly.

With the brisk weather it got me thinking about boots, scarves and jackets. Here is whats on my mind:
