Weddings! Babies!

Trying to play a little catch up here around the old blog. I want this to be my online scrapbook, so I feel like I can't ever NOT blog about events, I know I will appreciate this in 20 years. So, in other words...expect lots of picture posts to come:)

The weekend that I bit off more than I could chew? Remember? Well, I didn't really, but almost did. Anyways...it was a SUPER fun weekend filled with great parties and best friends.

We got started that Friday night by hosting my best friend Becca and her fiance' Grant a wine and beer tasting party. It was amazing....at least I thought so. We held the party at the Lake Carolina lake house, this place is brand new and simply beautiful. I think everything turned out very well and the future bride and groom had a great time. And they got lots of alcohol, always a bonus, right?!? Now, excuse my out of order pictures...

Two of the other hostesses and me.

Dessert table set up....Chocolate dipped strawberries and champagne "tasting".
The "welcome" table...wine glasses and where guests dropped off their gifts/"spirits".
The main food/tasting table. Don't remember what all of this deliciousness was, but it was yummy. We paired each main food with two different beverages, either a white wine and a light beer or a red wine and a dark beer, etc.

All of the pregnant girls....in order:) January, February, March, March, April, May...pretty CRAZY, right?!? So so fun though:) So far there are 4 girls and 1 boy, waiting on little Jessie to hear boy or girl and we will be complete! I'm secretly hoping for another boy, these girls need some boyfriends, hehe!

That Sunday, we hosted a baby shower for prego Haven who is due at the beginning of January...well I guess we say December now because she is getting induced at the end of the year, don't know the exact date yet! YAY for meeting baby Harper this month, cannot wait!!

Anyways, we did a desserts and drinks theme since it was a Sunday afternoon shower. I hosted it at my house which made me a little nervous b/c the guest list was pretty large and my house is not so large. But, we made it work and it was beautiful. Haven and Harper got SO many wonderful things.

Beaming mommy to be:)

Loved the banner, it matched our invitations.
Some of the table set up, loved all the bright colors we used. Her nursery is turquoise, corals/pinks and green. That's where we came up with the colors.
All the girls!


What a busy, wonderful weekend!

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...
