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!

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

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...
