Showering our friends with Love

 

 

Leigh Peacock's wedding Shower; I love the beautiful summer colors.

The thing I love about Leigh is she has the best heart.  She is the most sincere friend and young woman that anyone can be lucky enough to know and adore. She had a Bridal Shower the other day and it was my pleasure to attend.  The ladies involved with hosting the party really did the most amazing job, see example below.  The truest testimony of how much they all appreciate Leigh and how we are all so happy for her!

Peacock flower arrangement was incredible

Leigh was quite touched that they went to such lengths to make everything so remarkable and the presentation was just breath taking!!  Everyone deserves to feel like a princess when they get married and showers are so special to any bride-to-be.

I know at my shower I felt like the luckiest girl in the world to have friends who care so much to just come and be a part of my celebration in the union to my now husband.  Gosh it is almost a year since I was married and I think exactly a year since all of my showers (2). 

The next picture is my favorite picture of all time.  Leigh and her fiance took this picture over seas I think at the very restaurant that the Disney movie Lady and the Tramp was modeled after.  And let me just say, a picture is worth a thousand words!

Sharing a piece of Spaghetti, just like the movies!

 

Margarita and Sangria Party

This party is something I look forward to every year, this was our second party ;)  First you send out the invite weeks in advanced.  Then you have to buy all the supplies you need for the party.  Then you have to tidy up a little bit for company.

You make the sangria, cut the fruit, test it.  Make non-alcoholic sangria, pigs-in-a-blanket, watermelon (because it's summer time), cookie cake (with a special thanks to the Navy Seals), meatballs, buffalo chicken dip, put the chips out., make sure the house looks great and light the candles to give a special elegance.

Then wait.

We waited until almost an hour after the party was suppose to start before the first guest arrived.  I told Kyle that no one wanted to be the first ones to the party.  My neighbor was suppose to come but she didn't think we were having the party because she didn't see anyone here when it was suppose to be happening.

By 10 pm the house was hopin though!!!

Some of the beautiful woman at the party.

Time just flew by and we had the absolute best time! 

The guys were all camped out on the couch watching Baseball.  Go Braves!

I love these woman they are all sweet as pie and mean so much to me.  I was so excited that they could all make it to the party!  As you can see the puppies enjoyed their time with the guest. 

Everlasting Friends and 6 month Update

It's been said that everlasting friends can go long periods of time without speaking and never question the friendship. These types of friends pick up like they just spoke yesterday, regardless of how long it's been or how far away they live, and they don't hold grudges. THEY UNDERSTAND LIFE IS BUSY... But you will ALWAYS love them. Re-post if you have at least 1 of these friends. They will know who they are...

This picture is includes some of the women that mean the world to me!  We get busy but when it comes down to it they were there for me and I was there for them.   They are my best friends.  I think it is so cool how they are all beautiful on the inside and on the outside.  I treasure each and every one of my friends.  It was amazing that we have so many good friends.  

Between me and my husband Kyle we invited over 120 people just from our friends to the wedding.  I wish we could do it again because I feel like I didn't really get to talk to everyone.  The wedding went by so fast I can't believe I might not have even talked to everyone there.  But knowing they were there meant the world to me and Kyle and our parents.  But the wedding happened so fast and then it was Kyle and me together for the Honeymoon in Cali.  We loved being in wine country and on the beach in Pebble Beach!  

Pebble Beach is so nice in August and I would definitely recommend staying there in a condo on 17 mile drive like we did.  There is so much to do there with the Monterey Aquarium and wineries.  Shopping is really cute with the sweetest little shops in nearby Carmel.  This picture here is in a Christmas store in Carmel.  It was so cute they had Christmas trees decorated and the cutest little things you could buy.  I had fun taking pictures in the nooks and crannies of the store.  

Going to California was great, we had such a fun time!  But better than all that was spending time with my amazing husband.  Yesterday was our 6 month anniversary of being married.  I guess some would say we are still in the honeymoon phase, but yeah it is amazing to be in a committed relationship and know Kyle will be there for me no matter what life throws at us.  I know we can handle it!
