Payless......Who Me??

Look at my good finds today!! I went into Payless and came out with three pairs of shoes for all under $45.00!! I got some really cute silver driving moc's. They look just like the ones at

J. Crew that I have been eyeing for sometime. I also got some adorable coral colored moc's and some cute brushed gold flats. These will all be perfect for work.

$1 Store Adventures......Bling it Up!

I was so excited today when I went to the Dollar Tree. I was actually going in to look for school stuff but imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon this new Halloween stuff. I already had plans to do a glittery tabletop for Halloween and these blinged out skulls will be prefect. I also picked up some super cool plates and crows.....pictures coming in October.

Fried Chicken and Baseball....It Doesn't Get Anymore American Than That!

Here's our best attempt at a self-portrait!

Joe and Ryan watched the game...Abby and I talked.

Abby is one of my oldest friends and for the last year, she and her hubby, Ryan, have been living in South Korea. They have both been teaching over there and were home for the summer. Joe and I thought it was only appropriate to introduce them to Gus's...the best chicken...EVER!
It will make you slap yo' mama!
After dinner we all went to the Memphis Redbirds game. We wanted them to have a slice of Memphis to take back with them to Korea. We miss you guys already. Hopefully we can come and visit soon! If you want to check out their Korean adventures, here is the link to their blog:

"I love to take a photograph, Mama don't take my Kodochrome away...."

So anyone who has ever been to our house knows that Joe and I are a bit narcissistic....we have pictures of ourselves all over the place. But we do not have any kids yet...who else are we going to look at??!! We have been wanting to get some pictures taken in downtown Memphis for awhile and this super photographer is going to do them. She is so talented and has the exact style that I am wanting. She also happens to be as cute as pie :) Put in in your planners people. We are getting the pictures taken on August 30...please no rain!

ATL with the Girls!

"You know what trouble I's talkin' 'bout. I's talking 'bout Mr. Ashley Wilkes. He'll be comin' to Atlanta when he gets his leave, and you sittin' there waitin' for him, just like a spider."
-Mammy (Gone With the Wind)


This is my favorite quote about Atlanta and that's exactly where we went for Girl's Weekend last week. I drove up to Kristy's on Friday and we rode together to Atlanta. First though, we had to stop at IKEA for me to stock up on a new scrapbook desk and accessories. We finally made it to Abigail's house. On Saturday, we went to Six Flags White Water. We spent the whole day there going down water slides and running around like little kids. For dinner, we went to Cinco, an upscale Mexican place...yummy! On Sunday, me, Kristy and Abigail went to the outlet mall and then Kristy and I drove back to Nashville. On Monday, Kristy and I went antique shopping in downtown Franklin and ate a good ole' fashion southern lunch at Puckett's Grocery. I always have the best time with these girls and I am so glad we make a point of getting together.

The Best Vacation...EVER!!

For our 3rd Anniversary, Joe and I went on a 7 night cruise to the Southern Caribbean. We left out of San Juan, Puerto Rico and were fortunate enough to have the chance to explore the city before the ship left. San Juan was really nice. I would love to come back and vacation there.

St. Thomas

Today was our first day in port...St. Thomas. We headed to Magen's bay with our new friends, Steve and Yolanda. It was listed in the book, 1,000 Places To See Before You Die. It was so beautiful! Joe and I snorkeled and rented a sea kayak. We saw sea turtles and found a conch shell.
