Charleston, South Carolina

This past Sunday Jack and I had the opportunity to go to Charleston to visit my Grandaddy David and Granny Pam. It was really fun, we don't get to see them very often so it was nice to be able to visit. I forgot I had my camera until later, so we didn't get any pictures with them :[ They took us to lunch and of course I got shrimp!! (You have to get seafood in Charleston, even though I'm trying to eat less of it lately). Then they showed us around and we got to see the beach. Jack and I love the ocean, hopefully we'll be able to live closer to the coast when we're older, I never realized how much I miss the ocean when I'm in Idaho. It was such a treat for us to spend time with them!! Later Jack and I went downtown and rode around and saw The Russell House, the old city market, and The Battery. Then we took pictures at Rainbow Row, one of my favorite places in Charleston! It was such a fun weekend, we only have a few left out here and I want Jack to see all my favorite Eastern sites before we head home!

CONGRATULATIONS JENNIVE AND DANIEL!

We can't wait to meet Mason! Congratulations! We love y'all!

Another Fun Savannah Weekend

For Labor Day Weekend, Addison came down and stayed with me and Jack! It was SO much fun! We cooked a lot and went swimming and watched movies, it was a really nice, easy-going weekend! Then Sunday, we had a big get together for our friends Kathie and Kasey because they were moving Monday. It was way fun, lots of good food! And Mom, Grandmother, and Grandaddy even showed up to eat with us! They stayed the night and I got to show them downtown Savannah, the River Street and shops, Tybee Lighthouse, and they took me and Addi out to Lady and Son's (Paula Deen's restaurant)!! We went right in and there wasn't even a wait, like it was meant to be. It was delicious (I got shrimp of course)! We brought home food for Jack because he had to work, but he loved it too. I had so much fun with my family, I'm so grateful for the opportunity I've had to be closer to them for the Summer!!

Tybee Lighthouse

Yesterday, Jack and I went to Tybee Lighthouse! Jack really likes lighthouses and we love anything historical, so this was really fun! Though it's been restored and rebuilt, the original Tybee Lighthouse dates back to the mid-1700's. When we got to the top, it was so beautiful to look out over the trees and see the ocean. I'm so glad we've had this opportunity to live near the coast all summer. I love the ocean so much! We also went down by the river and walked around. Yesterday was such a fun day to start off the week!

Happy Birthday, Kathie!

Over the summer we've gotten to hang out with some really cool people! Next week is Kasey, Kathie, and Brookie's last week and we're definitely going to miss them! We've had some fun times and yesterday was Kathie's birthday. We were all supposed to barbeque, but thanks to Hurricane Fay we settled for pizza and a yummy birthday cake that Vil and I got! Late last night we all got together and let her blow out the candles and when she gets home Kasey's going to buy her a car! Happy birthday, Kathie! It's been so much fun hanging with you and Brookie while the guys work all day!!! I hope you liked me and Vil's presents!

Happy First Anniversary!

Yesterday was Jack and my first anniversary! This year has flown by so fast! I still can't believe how lucky I am to have Jack as a husband! He is my best friend and the man of my dreams! I am so grateful for Jack, he's given me the best year of my life so far, and I'm looking forward to the years to come! I love him with all of my heart!

And to top it off we finally finished our puzzle! I bought this puzzle for Jack to motivate him to get his 100 sales so we can have our end-of-the-summer trip to Disney World! He's at 91 right now and in case you can't tell, each piece of this puzzle has a different scene from a Disney movie! It was pretty tough, but it gave us time together every night (even just a few minutes) to wind down from work and just do something fun together! I love spending time with Jack no matter what we're doing!

Tomahawkin'

Jack and I went to Braves game in Atlanta at Turner Field yesterday! I've been a Braves fan for as long as I can remember, my great-grandpa on my dad's side loved the Braves and I've always wanted to go to see them play. Tonight we're going out for dinner for our anniversary so I'll post pictures from that tomorrow. Yesterday was absolutely wonderful! I'm so lucky to have Jack, he makes all my dreams come true (even the corny ones like seeing a baseball game!)
