The Bleak Mid-Winter

Ok, so it's not so bleak for us here in Kathleen, GA. But, in Atlanta it's more than bleak. Luckily, I didn't have anywhere I had to go today, so I organized and such. But, I did manage to pop outside for a bit to take some pictures of the ice.

Hope it's warm where you are!

April Garden Soiree

Ryan and I had our first couple's wedding shower/party - hosted by Marilyn Anderson. It was such a blast and the weather couldn't have been more perfect. They predicted rain all week... and then it was sunny, beautiful, and cool. Perfect weather for a garden party!



Look familiar? This is what I made the rosemary lemonade for! I also mixed it with some sweet tea and made "swamp water."

Did I mention we had a GARDEN soiree? And what a gorgeous garden to have it in! One day Ryan and I will have a yard like that... one day.... :)

The wedding is so close now! I can't believe it! I hope there's not a let-down afterward... I've been planning so much and putting so much of myself into getting ready for the actual event. I'm sure it will be great, though. I'm not worried. Even if it rains, we'll have a good time!

I Can Almost Taste It

Spring is so close... and, for a few days there, I thought it was here. Thanks for faking me out, mother nature. Sad times. But, it will be here soon, and that's all that matters.

Warm weather and sunny skies should make moving, leaving home, and planning a wedding seem a little less daunting, don't you think? That's what I'm hoping. The only drawback of sunlit days of warmness? Exposed legs. Yeah... I'm one of those won't-shave-my-legs-until-I-feel-guilty-enough-to-do-so types. I think it's a stupid concept (no real reason that we do it except that we are "supposed to") and a pain in the rear. But, I do it on occasion so I don't get stared at. :)

Well, I'm off to pack up some more of my crapola in my room. Maybe some Spring weather will be headed our way soon... (cross your heart and hope to... be warm?)
