What I did in August...

So, I have really been absent. So absent that I feel like I have forgotten to write a post! Brad and I are in between wireless internet companies, so I have literally been with internet for the past month. I am posting tonight from a local bookstore/coffee shop! I feel like I am in college again! Anyways, August has been an extremely busy month for the Warnock family - here is what we have been up to....
cutting into this HUGE watermelon my grandfather had been watching all summer long....

having a watermelong eating contest with Tessa (yes, we had our hands behind our backs!)
working, working, working - this is a display I did at a sale for a local organization - cute stuff!
rescuing these precious kittens (and no, Brad wouldn't let me have one)...
Katy's boyfriend took this sweet baby home...can you tell I'm jealous???
taking a Labor Day weekend with Brad's family to visit the charming southern town, Savannah (more pics to come)...
eating lots of good southern food....
FINALLY seeing the Atlantic Ocean at Tybee Island and taking home these treasures for my nautical family room....
and lastly, I joined the Uppercase Living team! I haven't been able to devote a lot of time to it, but I have BIG plans for my new small business! I joined under fellow blogger and friend, Jill, and she has been AMAZING to work with! I hope I don't fail you, Jill! Uppercase Living has a lot of fabulous products, and I promise I will dedicate a WHOLE post to my new adventure!

I hope I haven't lost too many readers! Thank you for those of you who have been thinking about us! Oh, and thank you to Some Like It Southern for my award! My very first - I plan to give my awards in the next few days!

Blessings, y'all!!!!!!!!

Date night...

Brad and I have decided to make more time for each other - including DATE NIGHTS! Last was our first one in a while - we went to our favorite restaurant, Golden Eagle, and then we FINALLY saw The Dark Knight! It was a great movie, and I know that Brad enjoyed every second of it!

Things have been going so well in my life - I have made it my life's purpose to start appreciating more of life's little moments and enjoy every second. Until the past few months, my mind has been in a very strange place, and I can honestly say for the first time in a LONG time, I'm a blissfully happy. I am giddy. I smile at the silliest things. I laugh. I cry. I feel. My relationship with Brad has been better than it has been since we have been together. And I owe it all to the one who gave it to me in the beginning. The only regret I have is that I could have had this feeling a long time ago, why am I just now choosing to embrace that love and happiness when it has been here for the taking from the beginning?

I have lots of thoughts running through my head, but it's way past my bedtime...so, I will continue this post on another day!

Blessings, y'all!

WEDDING WEEKEND!

I had a fabulous (but exhausting) wedding weekend! Myranda and John are now married and celebrating in the Dominican Republic! Oh, I am jealous! Myranda was a beautiful bride, and the whole day went so smoothly! Congratulations to the Petersons!

My wonderful sister did our hair and make-up - here she is doing Jaclyn's hair -

Best wishes to the Petersons - enjoy your honeymoon :)

So, no wedding is complete without an "after party" - this is my favorite picture from the night...Brad and I were having a dance off! Ha - hilarious!

My bulletin board is not looking so covered anymore - Brad and I have one more party this weekend, and then we have a break until September! I never knew that so many people could get married at one time! Hope y'all had a wonderful weekend!

Blessings, y'all!

GOING TO THE CHAPEL...

and she's goin' get married! I've already started my wedding weekend with some bridesmaids' duties including mani-pedis! Yay! Then, we had a wonderful rehearsal and rehearsal dinner at my favorite - Goodness Gracious! I'm so happy for Myranda and her groom, John!

I have already taken tons of pictures, and I'll be sure to post them all!

Blessings!

BABY news...

No, NOT me :)

My older sister is going to be a mommy! I just found out on Sunday evening, and I have been beaming with joy and excitement ever since! I can't believe that I'm going to be an aunt! My sister and her husband have been married for a little over 4 years, and we have all been waiting patiently for some babies! I can't believe that my parents are going to be grandparents! My mom does not like being called a grandma! Ha!

We are all very excited about the little gift from God that should arrive sometime in March - same birthday month as her Auntie Lee Lee! Please pray for my sister that everything goes well!

Blessings, y'all!

Pictures from my crazy weekend...

Well, I have never been so exhausted in my entire life, but I sure did have a BLAST on Saturday. I started my Saturday at 7 a.m., and I didn't go to sleep until way past 4 in the morning due to some "pillow talk" with my sweet friend and fellow bridesmaid, Jaclyn! I went from stop to stop, and it was an incredibly busy day! Here are some of my favorite pictures from Saturday:

Lindsay, the bride-to-be, opening my gift (a PSA personalized stamp) at her bridal shower-

Myranda (in the center) with some of her bridesmaids at the Bridesmaids Luncheon-

Brad and I at my little ADPi sister's wedding (yes, I did wear the same dress all day!)-
My BEAUTIFUL little diamond sister, Rachel! Of course, we had to throw up some diamonds!!
Myranda opening up a HILARIOUS gift at her Lingerie Shower! Isn't this picture priceless???
I was on "hottie" patrol - we even had whistles! Ha!!!This was probably towards the end of the night (see the sweaty faces??) - this is one of my absolute best friends, Katie! She was in my wedding, and now we get to spend gobbs of time together for Myranda's big day!

On the way home! I love Jaclyn's face! Ha! We picked up a ghetto bride somewhere on the way???

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I will be pretty busy getting everything ready for this weekend, so the postings may be few! Oh, and is anyone else excited about the finale for Legally Blonde - The Search for Elle Woods????

Love you all! Blessings!
