Warning! Girls on the loose this weekend!!!!!

This weekend is "Girls Weekend"!!!!!!!!

Schedule:

Tonight- everyone arrives at Jenny's house, then we'll all go out to dinner and have drinks!

Saturday- Bridal Lunch, pool?? Bachelorette Party!! :-)

Sunday- Shower :-)


I am so excited to see all my girls! One of them I haven't seen since we've been engaged!

Splurges....

I made a serious investment on Friday.....

Popped in Anthropologie and just had to have this coat!

My justification: My black pea coat I bought ages ago at Old Navy has bit the dust. I will wear this for years to come. I love love love the sleeves and ruffles!!! :-)



I also splurged on a pink "derby" style hat at the JCrew outlet! It was only $20, but more than I'd normally spend.... I thought it would be a super cute accessory for my "girls weekend"

Happy Tuesday!!

We had a super adventurous weekend! We awoke at 4 AM on Saturday to leave by 5 AM to head down to Epworth, Georgia to see our preacher.

It was really nice to see him and chat about our ceremony and relationship. He was really insighful, and offered some good advice. I almost wish we had more sessions with him. Here's a few pictures from our fantastic drive!

We drove down 85 and then over through Clemson, through SC over to GA. The we did the opposite on the way back.... we drove up by the Natahala River (HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WERE WHITE WATER RAFTING! It was a beautiful ride!) then up through Murphy, to Asheville (where we stopped at the lovely JCrew Outlet :-)) on to Hickory and Newton, where we stopped at one of our favorite restaurants for dinner (The Artist Cafe) and home! It was a long day, but awesome!

We saw the sun come up in the rearview mirrors


Then we saw a bunch of hot air balloons!



Coming back across the border!

Headed to Epworth....

We're making the 4.5 hour trip to Epworth, Georgia tomorrow morning at 5:30 AM!!!!!!!! Ugh.... so early :-( We are going to meet with our preacher for a mini "marriage counseling session" and to discuss our ceremony! It's exciting to know I will be able to work on programs next week :-) YAY!!!

Next weekend is my "Girls Weekend" consisting of dinner Friday night, Bridesmaids Lunch, Bachelorette Night, and Bridal Shower on Sunday!! :-)

I am so excited! I've learned my girlies have been conspiring about things!!

I'm not gonna lie, it was super awesome to not think about the wedding madness I am/about to experience!!!!!!!

I did find out some fun details about the upcoming girls weekend from one BM. I am so excited to blow off some steam with my girls!

I was going through a bit of shopping withdrawal yesterday, so I hit the pavement...... Here's what I got accomplished.....


1. Bought the remaining 3 vases for the tables! (I am DONE with this task!)
2. Found dishes for the candy to go on the dessert buffet (They are 2 dishes that each have 3 compartments, perfect for displaying my pumpkin kisses, candy corn and resees pieces)
3. The remaining invite postcards should arrive TODAY!
4. NWR- We bought our red tailgate tent for tailgating at the NCSU games this fall.... and the best part- it fits in my car..... through the backseat/trunk pass through!! yay!!
5. NWR- found super awesome $4 red leggings to sport to the football games! Wahoo!

Pictures to come tomorrow!
