Charleston
Charleston was amazingly beautiful! Archetecture Archetecture Archetecture!
Blake was most excited about seeing his old Fraternity's Alpha Chapter!
This was our unbelievable bed and breakfast, the 27th Street. Highly Reccommend!
Pi Kap House!
Muscadine Wine
Blake's sweet uncle and cousin picked 13 pounds of Muscadines for Blake to make wine with. So, we thought we would have some fun and step on them Italian style. Besides the fact that it was like jumping around in ice, it was pretty fun. Making memories...

Twilight Saga
Sorry, I haven't blogged in forever. 2 weeks ago, my life was totally halted when I discovered the Twilight Saga! I can't believe I got so wrapped up in the world of vampires and werewolves, but truely it is one of the greatest love stories I have ever read. And the author, Stephanie Meyer is nothing short of a genius! She left no faint question unanswered as you entered her world. Every detail was beautifully described. I tend to get excited about books, but this entire series is a masterpiece. I highly reccommend you leave this blog, and go order it right now!!! But be forewarned, you will lose out on a little sleep, paperwork will start building up, and dust will start to collect. But, trust me, it is all very very worth it. The movie comes out in November (i think), but there is no possible way it can give you more than a taste of what you will be longing for if you just read it. Sure it's 4 books...Sure each one is 600+ pages long (anyone can do it if I did, seriously)...I promise, you will be waiting in line if there is ever a 5th. It's just that good!

Some things I love that you might be surprised to learn...
1. I am right brained, so, of course, I love anything creative and artistic. Blake and I steal the Dirty Dancing line all the time that "He will change the world and I will decorate it." But I do. I love decorating and interior design, I love photography and visual arts, I love scrapbooking, painting, coloring, writing, etc.
2. I love quiet. I am not one of those people who needs background noise. I can sit contently in silence and type or read a book. In fact, this is one of my main complaints about living in a house with 4 noisy boys. There is just never a quiet moment.
3. I love hair, and people who do hair, hairstyles, hair fashion. It's totally an ART! Secretly, I can see myself going to cosmotoglgy school just so I can hang out with a bunch of catty women in a salon and be creative with hair. Any time I get to hang out with my friends daughters, that's the first thing I do is go get a brush and a bunch of little hair toys. So fun! I have spent my life being very brave with my own styles. I have probably been every color, length, and style imaginable...except extentions, but who has $1200 laying around to spend twice a year on HAIR
4. Musicals/Broadway. This has been a long time obsession. Some of my faves are: Rent, Mama Mia, Phantom of the Opera, Smokey Joes Cafe,
5. Tattoos. Apparently, my art obsession knows no bounds, and I especially have an appreciation for people who express art even on their bodies. Kat Von D is my idol! I have a small one for myself, my husband has 2 large, but at that I feel like such a poser...I need more.
6. Ebay. IT's my automatic shopping go-to. I am just amazed every time I log on and not only find what I am looking for, but usually find it for 99 cents. That's amazing!
7. Trees. One of my favorite things about living in Alabama has always been the trees. Not only that, they are just beautiful (there is no way for a tree not to be beautiful...even when it's dead). The symbolism of trees goes back to Adam and Eve. So...anyway...I have a thing for trees.
8. Vintage and Antiques. I inherited this gene from my grandmother who lives in an antique museum. I just love a piece (be it garment or furniture) that has had experiences and is quality enough to still be around living today.
9. The smell of freshly bathed babies. There's just something about that soft skin all lubed up with baby lotion and that wet hair snuggled about against you that makes motherhood magical.
10. I don't think I could ever pull it off, but I also have to admire the glamorous burlesque style such as that of Dita Von Teese. Very cool.
