weekend of love. charleston style.

What a wonderful weekend we had in Charleston. We got there around 7:30 on Friday night and strolled around a bit acting like tourists, I say "acting" because even though we are "technically" tourists now because we don't live there; Mikey went to college there and I have lived there as well. When you visit somewhere so often, you forget to appreciate all of the wonderful sights and attractions the city has to offer. We strolled around the battery and the waterfront park area, it was close to sunset and it was GORGEOUS.

My handsome hubby of ONE year=) Can't you tell he loves taking solo shots! Ha!


We went to Magnolia's for dinner Friday night and it was DELICIOUS. We don't go to fancy restaurants very often, it just isn't our style so much...but this was a very nice treat. (i just can't help when paying the bill thinking about what else that money could go to, ahem...CLOTHES!!) The food and service were amazing, everything was perfect. We bought a Magnolia's cookbook as part of our anniversary gift to each other, we are going to start a tradition of trying to get a cookbook or some cool keepsake from a different restaurant every anniversary. The cookbook is supposed to be amazing and it looks like it has tons of to die for Southern recipes in it, see cookbook here.

Saturday was a beach day for me. Mikey had plans to go watch the World Cup with some friends, so I packed up and met my best friend Sarah at Sullivan's for the day. It was HOT, but there was a nice breeze, a wonderful day catching up with her.

Saturday night, we had a wedding! Mikey's friend from college got married at The Citadel and then the reception was at Daniel Island Country Club....talking about a drool worthy location, wow. This place was gorgeous. Daniel Island is huge and has all sorts of different housing, hotels, businesses, etc.; this is actually where we stayed. But, the part where the country club is located... AMAZING. I want to move there, like yesterday. All of the houses were gorgeous. The wedding was beautiful and tons of fun!



Sunday morning, the day of our actual anniversary we had brunch at High Cotton, another amazing Charleston restaurant. We really did ourselves in this weekend, it was all worth the extra 5 pounds I packed on!! I didn't take any pictures on Sunday, but the specials menu did have the date!! I had crab cakes benedict, my first time...they were simply amazing. We so were not looking forward to leaving Charleston Sunday, we had a great weekend celebrating!
We ate some of our wedding cake Sunday night at home, it was umm....okay. It wasn't bad by any means, but it definitely wasn't as good as it was a year ago!

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...

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...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
