BACHELORETTE WEEKEND with my LADIES!

augusta engagement


we had the very best time in augusta this weekend!  our families got to hangout for the second time (they met at our huntsville engagement party) and we got to play with old friends and new family. yay! some of my very favorite people were there: kathleen, hannah, coco, and maggie. and two of grant’s guys came too: michael and tony. it was awesome. plus my 89  year old grandmother made the journey (6 hours) from huntsville with my ‘rents! she got to chat it up with grant’s nana–they were, of course, instant bffs. we got tons of gifts. seriously, i’m not sure everything will fit in our cute little apt. but i can’t wait to set up our home and try!  grant and i just feel so loved and incredibly blessed.  i really couldn’t ask for more.  now i’m off to writing thank you notes for all the gifts…! xoxo

upcoming excitement


i’m really looking forward to this weekend for so many reasons. grant and i have an engagement party in augusta! yay! we get to hangout with our closest friends and family. our families get another chance to be together–second hangout since they met at our huntsville engagement party. and most of our wedding party is coming! yay! quick preview: thursday: atl; friday: aug; sat: party and play time!; sunday: atl; monday: back to reality, work, and school. can’t wait to meet all of grant’s family friends and play with my GIRLS, too!!!

please excuse my ignorance



i don’t really know what i’m doing, but several of my dearest friends have started bloggging, and since we’re scattered all over the map, this seems like the best way to stay in touch.  

i am currently in grad school at alabama working toward my Masters in Library and Information Studies with an emphasis in knowledge management and the organization of information.  i basically take a system and make it better–and i love it!  i hope to work in a specialty library (law library of some sort) or a museum.  

i am engaged to the love of my life and we’re getting married may 31st! we can’t wait!!! we’re honeymooning in puerta vallarta, mexico, with an incredible resort set on cliffs over-looking the pacific. yay! wedding planning has been surprisingly easy and stress-free. i have the best mama/ wedding planner and the best friends in the world as bridesmaids.  this is a really great season of life and i’ve never been happier.  i’m learning more each day about contentment at its fullest.  

i have a precious little girl (95 lbs), my 11 month old great dane, Georgia. i can’t wait for grant, georgia, and me to move into our cute new apartment in atlanta, set-up house, and begin our family! check out our apt: http://www.thelodgeontheriver.com (2 bed 2 bath).

i also have a job. i’m working for the emory group; i’m a regional sales manager for a promotional advertising firm, which really means, i sell tshirts to sorority girls.  it’s a ton of work, but most of the time it’s worth it and really rewarding.  i spend most of my time reading on my back deck with georgia girl curled up with me. i can’t complain at all.
