Happy Halloween

I hope everyone has a Happy and safe halloween!!!!

Our home away from home

Last weekend Riley and I took off for a quick weekend in Fairhope. It was short but very nice and relaxing. We were so glad you were able to see Becca and Zach while we were down there! Friday night we went to one of my favorite places. It is a small local restaurant and piano bar and it is just so relaxing and cozy. Saturday, Riley and I started the day off with a big breakfast at another favorite local cafe and then we spent the rest of the day walking in all of the shops. I love all the random shops there. Most are antique stores or boutiques. Then it was off to watch some football. We met Becca and Zach on Sunday at Jessie's for a delicious brunch. I just really love that place! :)

A Wonderful Visit

Last Wednesday, Peyton and Marty brought Lily Grace by the house for a little while and I was so excited to see her! I miss seeing them all so much but I just love when I get to see her!! She is the cutest thing and is constantly changing and growing. She was so amused my the kitties and the neighbors dog. She couldn't decided which she wanted to focus more on. I can't wait to see her again soon! I love you Lily Grace!!

Marty did you teach her that?

There wasn't any water coming out of it, but she sure knew what to do!

She liked the "balls" in the bowl

Meet Ainslee Elizabeth

I have a new neice! She was born October 17 and weighed 8lbs. 10 oz. She was very close to my weight as a baby. My mom said I was 8lbs. 11 oz. She is beautiful and we can't wait to watch her grow.

A Triplet Baby Shower

Sunday, I helped host a baby shower for our friends, Wade and Mandy. Mandy is having triplet girls!! We are so excited for them and can't wait to meet them! Mandy looks wonderful and is doing great. She got so many nice things at her shower and most of them came in 3's! :)

Congratulations Dan & Cyndee!!

I was so happy to be a part of Dan and Cyndee's wedding on Saturday. Cyndee has been a wonderful friend of mine since college. The wedding was so beautiful and we had a great time with the band at the reception! We wish both of you the very best!

Cyndee's luncheon and rehearsal dinner

Friday we had bridesmaid's luncheon for Cyndee Grey. I am so happy I could be a part of her wedding. The luncheon was at the Flamingo Room in downtown Northport. It was very good and such a cute place!! We had lunch and then for dessert was the charm cake. My charm said I would live a life full of contentment. That night we headed to the Bama Belle for the after rehearsal dinner. What a great idea! It felt wonderful outside so the boat ride was very nice and the Mexican fajitas were awesome!Cyndee with her charm

My Birthday

With quite an eventful and very busy weekend ahead, Riley and I decided to celebrate my birthday on Thursday. (My actual birthday was Saturday) He suprised me with flowers to school and then took me to a wonderful dinner at Kozy's. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband!

One of my gifts was this wine opener

Happy Belated Birthday Mom

Sorry, I am trying to catch up on all my post! My mom's birthday was on Saturday and I wanted to wish her a Happy belated Birthday!! Mom, you are a wonderful friend and mother and I don't know what I would do without you!! Thanks for everything! I love you!

Cyndee's tea

Cyndee's church tea was on Sunday at Brent Baptist. She is the last wedding I am in this year. It will be so sad when I can't see my friends as often as I have the past 6 or so months!!

Too HOT!

WOW! What is with the weather? It felt really good all week and then of course on the weekend when you can actually enjoy it, it is so hot! Riley and I had tickets to the game and I don't know what I was thinking because I wore a black dress. I thought I was doing good by wearing a dress and not jeans, but black was not the best color I could have chosen! We were right in the sun!! I couldn't take it and so we left at half time. We weren't the only ones leaving because of the heat though...we overheard a lot of people talking about it as we were walking out. Riley wasn't much on staying the whole time either since it wasn't the best game. So we just met up with our friends and continued to watch the game in where there was an aircondioner! Roll Tide! Thanks for another win (even though it wasnt the best they have ever played!)

Joining the Church

Last Sunday I officially joined the church where I started going when Riley and I started dating. This is also where we got married (Tuscaloosa First United Methodist). Riley was already a member and his parents attend there. I really like it there and I love the preacher! Mom and Dad were able to come visit and go to lunch after. Unfortunately, Riley's mom had been in the hospital with some complications with her liver, so we headed up to UAB to visit her that afternoon.
