Busy as a bee....

So, this weekend was the start to a very busy 2 weeks for me....

.....We had a wedding shower at church for Shelley on Saturday (HUGE success)
.....After the shower, Katie, Shelley and I went through all of her things, returned duplicates and purchased some necessities off of her registries. She is leaving next Monday for North Carolina :(
.....Have to find some time to get my dress pressed and my nails done and eyebrows done
.....We have another shower on Tuesday night for her....fun!
.....The rehearsal and luncheon on Saturday morning
.....Wedding after church on Sunday
.....Ansley is coming in town next week for Ga/Fl
.....then the madness begins for my fav weekend of the year!

Looking at the list, it doesn't look too busy, but let me tell ya, it just seems that there is one thing after another....which I totally enjoy!

I can't wait for the wedding and to see Shelley! AHH...just can't wait!

Happy Monday everyone!

Thoughts on a Tuesday

How I love the fall.....

"Growing up Southern is a privilege, really. It's more than where you're born, it's an idea and state of mind that seems imparted at birth. It's more than loving fried chicken, sweet tea, football, and country music. it's being hospitable, devoted to front porches, magnolias, moon pies and coca-cola... and each other. We don't become Southern - we're born that way."

" A southern girl is a girl who knows full and well that she can open a door for herself but prefers for the gentleman to do it because it demonstrates a sense of respect. After all, every girl wants to be treated like a princess. We know how to make sweet tea and grits while telling you everything about any football team in the SEC. We pick our battles and fight with the heart of a pit bull while still maintaining grace and elegance. Our mystique is that of a soft-spoken, mild-mannered southern bell who could direct an army, loves her momma and will always be daddy's little girl."

"Southern girls are God's gift to the entire male population. There is absolutely no woman finer than one raised below the Mason-Dixon line. And once you go southern, may the good Lord help you, you never go back."
- Kenny Chesney

Today, I will chose to make today better than yesterday!

In the words of Sara Bareilles....

"You've got opinions,
we're all entitled to them,
but I never asked...

Who cares if you disagree? You are not me,
Who made you king of anything
So, you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?

I'm not the one who's lost
With no direction, oh
But you'll never see"

Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone has a great day!! :) Oh and the candle wax came out of all of my clothes...I took a paper bag and put it in between my clothes and an iron and the wax came right out! Thanks Andrea for the great idea!!

Oh Mondays

So, it has again been a while since my last post. Today has been one of those days that I wish I didn't get out of bed. I knew when I was getting ready today that I should have just gotten right back on bed instead of getting dressed and going to work. Well, I had this bright idea that since my office stunk (I mean literally- it stinks) that I was going to bring in a candle (sweet pea scent- smells wonderful....I wanted the fall/cinnamon scent but I can't have that one at work) and light it and make it smell soo much better. Well, it worked. So around lunch time, after burning it since about 7:45ish this morning I blew it out. I went to pick it up to move it, and I guess that molten hot candle wax was still liquid. And it spilled ALL OVER my clothes. My new RED polo shirt....ruined. My fav Gap Jeans....thats right RUINED. Today has just not been my day. At. ALL.

Anyway, the Braves are disappointing me...but hopefully we can pull out 2 wins in a row this week. I mean, we have to. Come on Bravos, its Bobby, Chipper, and Billy's last season...we have to win.

The wonderful Georgia Bulldogs won on Saturday which made me smile! Finally, some wins in that column.

So, now to the biggest and BEST news of all. My best friend Kelly LeAnn McKinney is ENGAGED!!!!!!! I am beyond excited for her and I can't wait for the celebrations to come. Joey, her soon to be hubs, did such a fabulous job and I couldn't be more happier for them! I have been holding this secret from her for MONTHS and I don't keep ANYTHING from her- let me tell you it was very difficult. This morning Joey sent me the following text message:

"Hey Jayme, I just want to say thank you for who you are and how great of friend you are to Kelly. I love everything about her and you are apart of that. You have been there from the start and I plan on you being there for a long long time."

Let me just say that this made me BALL. He is such a sweetheart and I am so thankful that Kelly has found such a special person.

On that note, my friend Shelley's wedding has been moved up to October 24th from December 4th. Her soon to be hubs is going to be deployed on December 1stish and as Shel would say, "I can't have a wedding without him there, now can I?" She has been such a great sport through all of this and is going to be a magnificent bride. I can't wait to stand next to her on her wedding day....that is if I beat all the odds and bets that I make it down the aisle without tripping in those heels :)

So, here is the to the rest of Monday....thankfully you will be gone in a few hours! Hope everyone has had a more fabulous day than mine has turned out to be.

GO BRAVES!!
