_______________________________________________________

That's right, it is back. 

 Coleman yelled that he was heading to the hunt club right after work

as he was closing the front door this morning.

Deer season is back . The rifle is sighted in,

 and Coleman is the happiest boy there ever was.

Hopefully we will have some vennison in the freezer soon!

It just needs to get a little cool so I can have that boy whipping up some of his

yummy chilli.

Having trouble thinking of some wedding updates for y'all this morning.

I know that is hard to believe.

My return address stamp finally arrived

and the save the dates are SO close to being ready for mail.

Still don't think I will send the little  guys off until the end of September though.

I want everyone to have a good 6 months to mark their calendars.

Usually I would say 4 months, but since we have decided to get married on the same day as

The Cooper River Bridge Run,

I figure people could use as much fore warning as possible.

Invitations are basically chosen! This wont be ordered until after hurricane season.

woof. the thought of them being destroyed in a storm makes my heart heavy.

That's all I've got for y'all today.

Enjoy your humpday.

The weekend is just around the corner!

Weekend Recap

It's Monday again.

Blurg.

Here's what we were up to this weekend:

-Friday-

C and I both got off work a little early, just in time to beat some 5o'clock traffic on the way out of Charleston. We teamed up with daddy for another quick trip to Florida.

Grandaddy is out of the hospital and into a rehabilitation facility where he will undergo lots and lots of therapy. Hopefully they will have that left leg working again in no time. :)

So great to see him OUT of the hospital, looking better, and chatting it up with his 90+ year-old buddies.

I don't know about you, but I just think old people are the cutest.

Especially my Grandaddy. 

-Saturday-

After visiting with the  old man we loaded up and headed home for Charleston.

Daddy raced as fast as he could to get us home in time for a 40th Anniversary concert at the Windjammer.

An awesome 90's band Jupiter Coyote was playing there, and luckily we made it home in just the nick of time. I am so glad we did, it was a really fun concert; although, I was definitely the youngest person there.

-Sunday-

Coleman's daddy's birthday!

We cleaned up the house (and the yard with help from my pops) just in time to have Coleman's parents over for supper! We were lucky enough to have his mom prepare literally everything except for the meat C threw on the grill. It was a delicious meal, and I was so happy to be able to host them in our home that they have almost completely furnished for us :)

On a side note, our engagement announcement made its way into Sunday's Post and Courier!

You can find it here!

Back to the daily grind. Hope y'all had a great weekend!

invitations are pretty

Wedding Wednesday a day late.

and invitations are pretty.

I won't be placing my invitation order for a few months yet, but I am trying to get my ideas finalized. A few less things to make decisions on is always nice.

Here are some pretties that I am really loving from Reave's Engraving



You would never imagine how many options there are until you are engaged and forced to stare at 53 million different fonts, papers, ink colors etc etc.

I have chosen, but I won't share.

Some things should be a secret.

For now at least.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY,

MARLA!

Wishing the happiest birthday ever to this sweet lady, my friend Marla!

Hope you are enjoying your adventures in the wild wild west! Hurry to Charleston soon so we can celebrate! Love you and miss you!!

Weekend Recap

This weekend flew by.

Friday Coleman and I hosted a mini dinner party complete with a yummy pot roast.

_____________________________________________

Saturday morning my dad, my sister and I piled in the car together (what a joy :/)

around 8am for a quick trip down to Florida.

 As I told you last week, my grandfather is in the hospital

fighting to get back to normal after breaking his hip.

Broke our hearts to see Ganddaddy like that.
I haven't seen him in the hospital

for any extended period of time since
I was little girl and he was diagnosed with Diabetes.

Please contine to pray for smooth recovery so that he may be discharged to begin rehab.

_______________________________________________

Sunday...I laid.

I laid around and did a little laundry.

Then the sun set and I laid around, watched the Kardashians, addressed save the dates and drank wine.

Truly was a glorious evening.

____________________________________________

Monday.
 Not really the weekend anymore, but it sure felt like it!

I had the wonderful opportunity to go to the first practice round of the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island.  This new job definitely comes with some perks!

Not the best quality, but none the less, some pictures from the firm's suite overlooking the 18th hole.

Hope everyone's week is off to a great start!

prayin and prayin

Just writing a quick post to ask for all of you for your prayers.

As I mentioned in a post earlier this week, I have a sweet sweet grandfather, Granddaddy, who will be 92 this December. He is kindest, silliest old man in all the world, and I love him dearly.

He is the only grandparent I have left and

I get so giddy when I think about him seeing me in my wedding gown. 

He fell late last night and broke his hip.

He is in the hospital now in Florida where he lives with my Aunt and Uncle.

They are saying surgery will probably take place in the morning.

Please keep him, his health, and my family in your prayers.

Grandparents are such a special thing, but so are dads and I cannot imagine the thoughts running through my crazy Daddy's head right now as his father lies in a hospital bed two states away.

I know I can count on yall to be praying.

Thank you.

what's going on

Fingers crossed...we should be getting our dining room table on Friday morning!

Clearly, I am more than just a little excited.

 Although we do not have a seat of matching chairs, I have already invited some friends over for dinner Friday night -- Coleman and I used to have couples over for "supper club" pretty regularly back in our townhouse days, but we have not be able to at the new house due to the lack of table!

We may not be resting our rumps on matching chairs, but I sure will be glad to share a meal with friends in our new home. Now, I have a menu to plan! Any Suggestions??

______________________________________________

I still have not started addressing the Save the Dates nor have I made up my mind about the actual invitations! Someone kick me into high gear over here please!

I know we have 8 months, but that really doesn't seem long at all.. it is fun being engaged, but I cannot lie, I will more than thrilled when this whole process is over and I can finally call Cole my husband, and start using my new monogram.

 (You have to love the symmetry of an H in the middle!!)

Busy busy at work this week,

 gotta get back to it, but had to take a moment to give all my loyal followers (HA!)

a little glimpse into what's going on!
