Although I usually dread this time of year...these past couple of months have been really nice. We have done a LOT of relaxing, taken care of some house projects, traveled to Mexico and Beaufort, been "parents" for a weekend, and celebrated some good friends upcoming weddings.
Two weekends ago, Mikey and I (along with several others) threw an engagement party for our dear friends Shayne and Lindsey. *Shayne and Mikey have been friends since high school. Linds and I met in college, were in the same sorority and now she is one of my dearest friends. These two met when we all traveled to New Orleans/LSU for some Carolina football several years ago, and the rest is history:) We are so thrilled for them and cannot wait to celebrate their big day. I love when our worlds collide (i.e., Mikey's friend with my friend...now we are just one big happy family!)* Anyways, back to the point of the post. The party recap. The party was held at a restaurant/bar in downtown Columbia....we had the place to ourselves and it was really fun. Like...lots of fun. We all ended up at the bar afterwards dancing the night away...and then we all ended up at IHOP together, you know it's been a good night when that happens!
The bride to be and me!
The Glenn's
Some of the girls
Charleston friends:)
Mikey and Shayne
The boys from "D5" as they like to call it, our school district. as in where we went to high school, yeah...that was almost ten years ago, tear. ha. pretty silly huh. there are three high schools in the district and between these boys, someone went to each.
The ZTA girls:) Apparently there was a lot of picture taking going on, no one is looking at the camera, hopefully someone got a better one. And PS...goodness gracious i am pale! I think I get paler every winter...but seriously it's gross. I swore off the tanning bed a few years ago, maybe it's time for a spray? Ick.
The hosts of the party with the guests of honor...such a fun night!
And as you may know from my last post...we headed to Beaufort this past weekend. I cannot get over how beautiful it was down there....we're talking 80 degrees and sunny Saturday, I was actually hot. The boys got burned playing golf! I didn't really get any sun, but we did (like I was hoping) stay out on the dock for about 5 hours, it was glorious. (Except for the bugs, they were pretty annoying.) But seriously, dock sitting, friends, cocktails, sunshine, i-pod, magazines...the absolutely perfect Saturday in my mind. In surprising news....we took NO pictures of us. Really? Who are we? That may sound crazy, but when any of our friends get together, it is rare a camera isn't involved. But, it was one of those weekends...we didn't really get dressed up, there were no time schedules, no worries, and no problems:) It was just a good, relaxing, game playing, weekend with friends.
I did of course get some pictures of the beautiful scenery... love.
Obsessed with the way the sun is reflecting on the marsh, it kinda makes it look like there is snow on the ground.
Our view for the day. Heaven.
That's enough rambling for now....
