It's Never Too Late to Live Happily Ever After!

On Saturday night, Brock and I attended the wedding of our two friends, Regina and Paul. What a beautiful ceremony and joining of two families. It was great to see a union so blessed by their children, family and friends. The wedding took place at Nacoochee Valley Guest House, with dinner and dancing afterwards. We had so much fun and it was so good to see two people so happy.



I thought I would post a few pictures of the wedding. I didn't take that many because Brock was making fun of me for bringing my camera. Here is Reg dancing with the two handsome men in her life, Paul and her son, Tyler.
This sign hung on a tree at the entrance of the guest house. I thought to myself that it could not be more true for these two families. And I couldn't resist throwing in this picture of the ultimate party song...The Cha-Cha slide.

Friday Night Fireworks

On Friday night, we took the Jeep to see the the Fireworks in Demorest. We met up with Deticia, McCall and Jackson and had dinner. Grant's mom, aunt and cousin also joined us. They brought Grant to see the fireworks. Gentry really wanted him to be there (i guess she needed someone to fight with). She likes to tell people that Brock and I met at those same fireworks 3 years ago, but it wasn't...but we don't correct her. The fireworks were a little disappointing, but it was fun hanging and people watching.

So you think you can dance?!?!?!

This is our neighbor, Lucy, and she is just the cutest thing. I think the video speaks for itself. There is also a clip of Grant on here dancing and he gives new meaning to "white boys can't dance". I do have to post a warning. Gentry was working the camera - If you get motion sickness - BEWARE! At the end of the clip there is a horrible snip-it of me in my "I don't work in the summer lounging clothes" with no make-up or hair products, but I think the video is worth it and hope you do too. I don't know how to edit yet. You know, who knew blogging could be so much fun?!?! We had fun tonight with Lucy and her mom, Jill...hanging by the pool. Ahhhh....I just love summer!

Pop Got a New Toy

After many years of protest, my mother gave in and let him get a Harley. Prior to meeting my mom, he always had motorcycles...but then sold them all out of love (isn't he sweet). So, today he got a Road King, and Gentry and Grant were dying to go for a spin. I have always loved motorcycles, but it is different when it is your child on the back. I am soooo becoming my mother...I was on pins and needles until they got back. They just went for a short spin around "the cricle", but that was enough for me. I thought I would include the pics of our little bikers.

Hot Tamales and other stuff...

Well, Wednesday was my last day at Piedmont. I presented my research and walked out of there with the biggest since of relief and accomplishment! I mean it this time when I say...I am never, ever going back to school (I said that after my master's, but I really mean it this time). Brock keeps telling me I need to go ahead and get my Ph.D...but...stick a fork in me...I am done. It is time for me to devote time to my family for a change! Although, I am glad I am finished...I am going to miss seeing all the new friend's I made....and "dialoguing" (spell check doesn't even recognize that word) with you all. I am sitting on my couch eating my hot tamales, from the hot tamale award that I received (I still don't know what that was about)...but they sure are good! The funny thing is I had never tried a hot tamale candy until Cathy Kastner would plop her gallon size zip up bag full of them on the table in class on Saturdays and we would chew until our mouth was on fire and our jaws ached. I still can't believe that I get to sleep in tomorrow instead of going to school. "With that being said"... for this blog I thought I would post a picture of our cohort! I hope I never have to hear that phrase again....sigh. Can't wait to see you all July 26th!

Hangin' in Greenville

Well, as I said before I was not at home on Father's Day. Brock and Grant did "guy things" and I went with my friends Donna and Lori and our "All American Girls" to see Carrie Underwood. It was a great, clean concert. We were 15 rows from the stage so the girls thought that was really cool, plus it was near the side of the stage so we got to see what went on behind the stage as well (wardrobe, makeup, etc.). Needless to say, we had a blast. I brought my camera and could have gotten some unbelievable pictures, but as luck would have it...the battery was dead. The funniest part of the evening was the fact that Lori told her daughter, Casey, we were going skydiving. So, bless her heart...she fretted all the way to Greenville before we could spill the beans. Casey asked Lori what she needed to wear and Lori's reply was "something nice, it might be that last thing you ever wear"..he he. Going to a concert just reminds me of how much I really would love to sing in a band...sigh! I really think I was a rockstar in a former life ;). Here's to all the hairbrush singers and dashboard drummers out there, like me.

Father's Day

Well, we had to celebrate Father's day a day early at my mom's house. I got Gentry Carrie Underwood tickets as a birthday present and didn't realize it was Father's Day. I am such a schmuck! Not very good to celebrate your first Father's Day as a married couple that way, sorry Brock! I am so thankful for my husband and father...they are the greatest dads. I read a little cross-stitched picture in an office one day that read,"There is a special place in heaven for the father of two girls". I am sure my dad would agree. Also, I want to let Brock know that he is the greatest. He is an unbelievable dad, who loves and treats Gentry just as he does Grant. We are all so blessed!
