For the rest of the week..

I will be a city girl again! This time in Atlanta. I have a new
account in the big city that I will be meeting with this week. Here
is the view from the 14th floor of the hotel I'm staying in. Not to
shabby, but after 3 day of the city I'm sure I will be ready to go
back to my quiet country living! :)

Painted by Holly!!

For our 1st Anniversary, I had a good friend of the family, Holly Buntin Johnson, paint Logan a picture of our house! I was so happy with how it turned out and Logan absolutely loved it (like I knew he would!) I have really enjoyed showing it off and can't wait to get it framed!!

She also does super cute invitations like this one she did for a luncheon that Elaine, Holly, and Mrs. Donna had for me!! Thanks again.. Everytime I go in the guest bedroom and see this invitation framed it brings back such sweet memories!

 

This painting of Bush Stadium made it on Logan's grooms table at our wedding! :) It now has a home on Logan's dresser...

Can't you tell we are big fans of Painted by Holly??

Holly also did a fantastic job of painting my in-laws house and her owl magnets and notecards make such great and unique gifts for my Chi O sisters!  Thank you, Holly for always doing such a fabulous job! Can't wait to add more of your artwork to our house.

Check out her website to see all her other watercolor paintings, invitations, portraits, magnets, notecards, and so much more.. I hope you fall in love with her artwork as much as Logan and I have!!

Showering with LOVE!

Yesterday I helped host a shower for one of my dear, sweet, and absolutely wonderful friend, Lauren. I am so honored that Lauren asked me to be a part of her special day and can't wait for her Fall wedding in November. We had such a great time yesterday showering Lauren with gifts for her and Josh's new house. 

Courtney making sure all the food was in the right spot. 

How cute is this precious sign that Pam and Courtney made?

The bride-to-be and her hostesses!

How cute are the "J" cupcakes?

The bride-to-be and and her momma!

Claire was suppose to be arranging Lauren's presents but instead I find her in the corner looking at wedding pictures!! :) She was getting in the wedding spirit!

Nothing says Fall like this cute owl rug!

How precious is this little guy!! Jackson had so much fun playing with all the girls at the shower!

Lauren and all her fabulous gifts!

How sweet!

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

It's Harvest Time!!

After a long and stressful week at work...

I loved being able to enjoy my Saturday afternoon with Mom, Brooke,
Emily, and of course Miss Lily.

Happy Birthday....

To my wonderful Mother-In-Law!

Tuesday was Lisa's birthday, but due to everyones crazy schedules we
had to celebrate last night. We enjoyed each others company as well as
some great food!

Thank you for all you do for us. We are so lucky and blessed to have
you in our lives. We love you!

Happy 1st Anniversary....

to my fabulous, sweet, and amazing husband! I am so lucky to have married my best friend a year ago today. I thank God each and everyday for blessing me with such an awesome husband. This past year has been great! We have survived living in a camper, building a house, a flood and so much more.  Our relationship continues to grow and get stronger everyday. I can't wait to spend many many more years together!

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
