Sweet Caroline

I finally just got finished watching the season finale of Grey's Anatomy. OH MY WORD. I have still been a faithful watcher of this show since the beginning, and that was hands down one of the best finales I have ever seen. I won't go into detail in case anyone hasn't seen it...but GO WATCH IT NOW. It is really good. I also just finished reading this , and it makes me excited for next season!! Still on the DVR....Private Practice season finale. Haven't really heard much about this one so we will see. Monday night is the TWO hour season finale of 24, Mikey and I love this show. I do think Jack has become a little unrealistic lately...but I am still dying to know what happens. And don't even get me started on the season finale of Brothers and Sisters, I might start crying. How is it that I can cry so easily when watching a freakin television show....really? Wuss? Yes. I guess it's a good thing I have Netflix in the summer, what am I going to do without t...

Pretty pumped about tonight's plans. As soon as we get off work, Mikey and I are meeting my parents at Pawley's Front Porch for happy hour and dinner. This little restaurant serves some of the best burgers around, and as you could have guess has a wonderful big ole porch for dining. They were even featured recently on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives , so cool...a wonderful shout out for Columbia. After dinner, we are off to see the GAMECOCKS take on the FLORIDA GATORS in baseball. This series is HUGE for both teams and will essentially decide who is number ONE in the SEC...gahhhh I hope my team wins! Florida wins everything, can't they let someone else have a turn, ha! We have great seat and it will be a perfect night for baseball. Now on to my throw back Thursday....kinda makes me sad. MY FREAKIN BACHELORETTE PARTY WAS A YEAR AGO. What? How did this happen. Sometimes it feels like my wedding events were yesterday and other times it feels like they were three years ag...

So, we watched Modern Family for the first time last night....we have been missing out! This show is hilarious...we loved it. It is now set to record on the DVR...I need some new shows for summer b/c all our favorites are ending right now. I hate how it is in the summer, I'm not a huge "reality" tv show person so I feel like there is never anything on in the summer. Bummer. Oh well, till then I will be watching Modern Family on Hulu...got to watch all the ones we missed! This past weekend was JAM packed and very fun. Friday night we went to Charleston to celebrate Mikey's best friends birthday. His wife had a surprise party for him at Taco Boy downtown Charleston. He was pretty clueless and it was hilarious to see him "get it." We always have a blast in Charleston, even though our wallets would much prefer we stay in Columbia...Charleston is just way more fun! We bar hopped after dinner at Taco Boy, then danced the night away before having to go ho...

Okay, so I just finished Emily Giffin's newest book....I read it in about 3 days because I just HAD to know what would happen. I tell ya, I always think I love her books...but honestly I think they do me more harm than good. I don't know, I come away feeling SO SO conflicted. I feel like it has been like this with several of her books....the characters, emotions, occurrences, are just all so so real. It is kinda scary I guess....especially for someone in their first blissful year of marriage. She just makes me feel so torn.....

This week has been great. Normally, Mikey and I are constantly on the GO. I seriously feel like my weekend bags stay packed. We have also been really busy during the week lately as well, and as much as we love it....I think we were both feeling pretty worn out lately from the constant go go go of our life. We hosted a cook out Sunday night for my family, but by 9:00 we were on the couch watching a movie. FOUR nights in a row we have stayed HOME, (gasp! that's a big deal for us) and have been relaxing and acting like couch potatoes! I think we both really needed it. It has been so long since we have had that much down time...we got caught up on all of our TV shows (we were over a month behind on some!) and got lots of good sleep. Not quite sure if we will make it all week...we haven't decided on tonight's plans yet, but regardless the past four nights have been verrah verrah wonderful! Last year at this time, my mom and I headed down to Beaufort for my bridal portra...

So, as I have said...one of my best friends is getting married very soon! 20 of us girls packed up and headed down to Garden City Beach, SC this weekend for a super fun bachelorette party. We typically always stay in on Friday night and have girl time, lingerie shower, and then what we like to call "super dance party." Well, this one didn't disappoint. We had way too much fun dancing our booties off on the front porch for hours. The bride was so sore Sunday on the way home, you always know that means a good dance party was had by all! Saturday, we got burned. ha. Seriously though, the weather was gorgeous and since it was the beginning of the summer most people hadn't laid out much. Needless to say, there were lots of tan lines going out Saturday night! How I love to be sun kissed though....you know they say tan fat is better than pale fat (my new motto). We literally laid out on the beach all day, couldn't have been better. Nothing beats the sun, some go...

This weekend was pretty spectacular all around. I went on a bachelorette party for one of my best friends, more to come on that later. We had a blast, but then Sunday I had to come home because I was hosting a Mother's Day/Birthday cookout at my house. My Sister in Law's Birthday is this week, so we combined the two celebrations. Amazingly, it was a perfect May night! It wasn't too hot. We all sat outside and played and enjoyed some good family time together. I finally got some pictures of more people than just my niece! It seems every time we around her, there are no pictures taken of anyone else, ha. It was a wonderful evening, I love my family so much. Mikey and me My wonderful mama and daddy. Mama with her kids and grand kid. Sweet girl giving her daddy kisses Now this is the face she made when her daddy took her chips and salsa away!! Priceless. Brother, Sister in Law and niece, cute little family. Happy Birthday Christie!
