Another Throw Back Thursday!

I'm finally able to do another throw back because this weekend last year I had just finished taking the BAR exam, i.e. my life could return to normalcy. We had our engagement party this weekend and it was a perfect way to celebrate me being done studying and finally getting to enjoy wedding festivities! My parents original Supper Club group (they started when they were like 24 years old) hosted our party for us at one of the couples gorgeous homes on Lake Murray! Unfortunatley, it was a yucky, rainy day and they had to move most festivities inside and in the garage. Fortunately, they had a huge house and wrap around porch so there was plenty of room for the 100 person party!! They had an oyster roast and it was devine, or atleast so I'm told. *I don't eat oysters, eek.* One of my mom's childhood best friend's father cooked the oysters (did you get all that?) and he is a pro! They also had tons of wonderful hors d'oeuvres and some chicken bog! (chicken, sausage, and white rice)

We really had a wonderful time at the party....we had a great turnout and it was something I will never forget!

This is me, Mikey, his mom, his niece, and then the whole original Supper Club group with all of their grown children and spouses!

So....I couldn't find a picture of Mikey and me (umm, hello? how does that happen) so here is a picture of the cake they made for us!

This is me with some wonderful best friends!

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more! This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun! (and extra chaos of course, too!) We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing. We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom. We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME! We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome! We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball! My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!! Mikey and I even got to sneak out one night for a date night, headed to our fav, Sal

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h

These are the days.

Goodness gracious, I LOVE summer. I talk it to death every year, but it is especially important to me during this season of life where the school year brings homework/schedules/strict bed times/extra curricular craziness- I appreciate the LAZY days of summer EVEN MORE. I've tried to be intentional about taking a half day here and there to soak up TIME with my babies. Because Lord knows, they aren't babies for long. (Yes, I'm referring to my 7 and 5 year olds as babies- #cantstopwontstop ) When we returned from our anniversary trip, we got back early on a Tuesday and used the rest of the day to spend quality family time together. We took the kids to a local water park, this was all of our first time visiting- and we had a ball! That same week, my girl and I dressed up and attended her very first company banquet for dance, too much fun! Lake days with friends are sooooo good for me- we've so enjoyed many of them this summer
