Wedding Party

This past weekend the Hubster and I were blessed to be able to celebrate our marriage with our Texas family and friends! We were even joined by The Hubster's parents who came all the way from Georgia to party...well for the party and for graduation! This is your warning...this is a picture heavy post, but I feel there's no better way to describe a party than to show pictures of it!

My best friend, Rachel, and my mom worked so hard to create the most beautiful flower arrangments! They were so pretty!

Both cakes were DELECIOUS! And everyone was asking who my baker was....hehe we ordered them from Costco! They were inexpensive and SO SO YUMMY! If you have a party coming up and need a wonderful cake that won't break the bank...go to Costco! And no...they aren't paying me to say this or giving me free cake..I wish! ha!

My parents are just too cute :-) My Dad gave a great speech, it had us dying laughing the whole time!

I am so grateful that I have had such a wonderful best friend for the past 17 years...Rachel gave a fantastic speech that showcased some of the funnier moments of our childhood :-) Needless to say...she put up with a lot, I was quite the spunky child! Her speech made me laugh so hard I cried...so please ignore the strange look I have on my face in the picture below....I was trying to stop crying!

My Poppy gave a wonderful speech as well :-)

My wonderful in-laws!

My Baylor best friend :-) Aren't you jealous of her TAN?! I am!

We are so blessed  to have such wonderful family and friends! Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us, we had such a great time!!!

Sic'em Graduation!

Hello everyone!!! :-) I am so behind on blogging...it's been a very crazy and busy week! I'm going to try and play catch up today! Last weekend I graduated from Baylor University! I can't believe the past four years have gone by so quickly! Sitting at graduation was such a surreal feeling. 

Smiling up at The Hubster and our parents! They got a seat right next to my section!!! :-)

Walking across the stage right after getting my diploma!

My wonderful and supportive parents :-) I couldn't have gotten through these past four years without them!

My Baylor boy and I, we're now both Baylor Alumni! What a great feeling!

Beautiful

I hope you enjoy looking at my mother-in-law's beautiful flowers as much as I do :-)

Shrimp Festival

This past weekend I attended my first ever Shrimp Festival in Fernandina Beach, Florida. There was a lot of fun, sun, and food! During the festival there were pirates everywhere! They "invaded" on the first night, then they stuck around for the fun! If you look to the left of this picture you'll see a strapping Jack Sparrow look-a-like who had just grabbed some food! :-)

Speaking of food...there was So. Much. Food!

The Hubster and I tried a bunch of different things!

 This was our first attempt...we got some grilled shrimp, corn, and sausage. It was pretty good!

I'm not a huge fan of fried food, but I did eat some..I mean I was at a SHRIMP festival, what kind of person would I be if I didn't have some fried shrimp? :-)

Now on to our respective favorites...mine was fresh squeezed lemonade! SO YUMMY! :-)

Now on to the Hubster's favorite...not quite as "healthy" as mine...but equally delicious to him :-)

FRIED OREOS

I have never tried them and just couldn't bring myself to eat them. I'm not a huge oreo fan, and frying them didn't make them any more appealing to me. That's okay though..Hubster at enough for the both of us :-) He was like a little kid, he couldn't get enough!

We took the dogs along for the ride...they had it easy, hanging out in their little stroller the whole time. Yes, stroller. If you read my What I'm Loving Wednesday post from yesterday {you can find it here} then you've been clued in to the fact that the Hubster and I treat our dogs like our babies...literally! hehe

They were truly a sight to see :-) Everyone wanted to stop and pet them, we made lots of new friends this weekend!

Here are my cute in-laws :-)

They go to the Shrimp Festival every year and have been going forever!

It was such a fun weekend, it was made even better by the Hubster's best friends arrival! He brought along his girlfriend and we all had such a fun time together!

Aren't they just too cute in their MATCHING outfits? hehe! It was actually an accident, but I think they look cute regardless! We went to the second day of the festival with them, and then played putt putt that night...sadly I didn't have my camera...I'll let you guess who won. Let's just say that the boys were NOT happy! ;-)

Here we are after the festival...both red as lobsters! But we had such a fun time it was worth it!

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14:27

What I'm Loving Wednesday

It's been a while since I've done a What I'm Loving Wednesday post! I'm glad to finally have the time to sit down and blog :-)

Spending time in Georgia

It's just so beautiful here!

{Two}

Driving around with the Hubster

He loves to take dirt roads...even to pick up a pizza in town :-)  And we always seem to get stuck behind a tractor....only here.

{Three}

Houses in South Georgia

I am IN LOVE with each and every house here. I have always loved this style of house, and there just aren't enough of them in Texas! Driving around town here is so fun for me because I love to look at all of the cute houses. Big, small, elegant or simple...they're all beautiful to me! I took these pictures on my phone while just driving around the other day..I didn't have my big camera, these pictures will just have to do! :-)

{Four}

Boiled Peanuts and Okra

While these foods aren't a new love for me...I sure do get a lot more of them here!

If you want to drool over some more southern cooking, visit THIS POST...it will make you wish you were here with me! :-)

Shrimp Festival

This past weekend the Hubster and I...along with the in-laws and the puppies went out to Fernandina Beach to attend the annual Shrimp Festival! :-) This is just sneak peek...look for a full Shrimp Festival post coming soon!

The fur-babies

I'm SO GLAD they have a haircut!!! They look so much better! We took them with us to the Shrimp Festival and people just loved coming up to pet them. That might have to do with the fact that they were in a.....STROLLER all weekend. Yes, that's right...we put our dogs in a baby stroller. Not even a fancy dog stroller, a true baby stroller. To be fair, it was the Hubsters stroller when he was a baby, so we didn't go out and actually spend money on this! We wouldn't have survived the weekend without it y'all! It was so crowded, there was no room for them to walk around, and it was H-O-T! They loved getting to lounge all weekend!

The Hubster

I couldn't do a what I'm LOVING post without mentioning my sweet Husband. Words cannot describe just how lucky I am. He was so sweet all weekend at the Shrimp Festival. What other guy do you know that would push his DOGS around in a BABY STROLLER?! He was a trooper, and was truly better at moving the stroller through the crowds than I was! He's going to be such a good Daddy someday! :-) I think I've got a keeper!

"Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins." 1 Peter 4:8

Great Catch

Such a fun night! The Hubster caught a big fish, a mud fish to be exact.

It even had TEETH!
