3 Day Weekend Goal

It is my goal to blog this weekend. I have a 3 day weekend and only have plans for Saturday. I'm pretty sure I'll cave and go into the office on Monday. Either way, my plan is to devote some time to hanging prints on the walls, tackling the last few boxes and catching yall up on everything.

I think I have a few more crazy weeks and then life will finally slow down. However, I feel like everytime I see the light at the end of the tunnel, another party train decides to head my way.

Is is time for a vacation yet??

Slowly Making My Way Back

Hello! Hello! Hello!

After so much scolding from various friends, I'm making my way back to the blog! So where to begin?!?!? I have no clue!! Soooooo much has happened since my last post. I do apologize for neglecting yall.

Alright, I'm gonna share my stories; however, there is no order to my posts. I will try to give time references but things were honestly a whirlwind. Okay, enough chatter and on to the fun stuff!

Bella!! We all love her to pieces. Here is her last picture in the house she grew up in. She LOVED the bathroom window so it was only fitting to snap this picture before the boxes and litter box were loaded up and moved into our new casa. I am happy to say that she has adjusted beautifully and loves truckin'-tail up and down the stairs in the new house. Most of the time she gets moving faster on the steps than her little paws can carry her! Its hilarious!


Here is the living room and my mantle the day before the movers arrived on Saturday. I think I teared up a few times that Friday night. A couple friends stopped by that last evening, helped me load my car, and enjoyed a final glass of wine on the front porch. It slowly started to sink in that I only had one night left on White Oak. I was nervous and excited. At this point, I had also finished my first full week at the new job and Shannon and Patrick had been married for one week. (I will get to all those stories!)


My closet after the girls loaded all my hanging clothes into my car on Friday evening. It is still so weird to look at these pictures.


Moving Day!!
My old bedroom about 20 minutes before the movers arrived. I used Two Men and a Truck and it was worth every single penny. They were fast, professional, and amazing. I can't believe their attention to detail. It took them just shy of 2 hours to load up, move, and unload!


Couch and chairs gone, and only a few things left! I think at this point I was crying. It was sad watching these guys move all my stuff out of my home. I was in that house for six years! I became a true adult in that house. I learned about life, friends, careers, love, relationships, everything in that house. I know I will continue to learn but I spent the majority of my 20s in my sweet little home.


Again, these guys were unbelievable!


The rest of the day was a blur and I forgot to take pictures. We hauled everything to the new place, unloading, had lunch, then started moving all the odds and ends that I didn't have packed for the movers. My mom and I spent the rest of Saturday and all of Sunday getting the last bits of stuff and started to settle into the new place. My mom rocks! She had my kitchen all unpacked and ready for action before I could turn around.

Wow, I'm tired all over again just thinking about that weekend!! Once I finish the details of the new house, I'll start a room by room tour.

It is now bedtime for this gal. I will be back soon, hopefully this week.

xoxo

PS- Thank you Merdeezy for encouraging me to blog tonight!! ;)

Virginia is for Lovers...

...Or to celebrate lovers!

This past weekend I went to VA for a bachelorette weekend. SMH is getting married in April so we packed up and headed north to partake in some wine adventures.

Once everyone arrived in Charlottesville on Friday afternoon, we spotted this gem across the street from our hotel. Aberdeen Barn lays claim to being Virginia's finest steakhouse. Several of the girls were from the Captial City as well so we giggled how it looks like Angus Barn, even down to the logo. We walked over for a drink and the ACC tourney.


We got cleaned up after our round of beers and headed out for dinner at Mono Loco, which is possibly the BEST mexican I have ever had!! I'm still thinking about that dinner. Anyways, someone sent over shots to kick off the celebrations!
Amazing margs!
MOH, Bachelorette, Bridesmaid
I WISH I took a picture of my meal, but I do know that I ordered Pollo Con Queso, yummmmmmm.

After dinner, we headed back to the hotel, had cupcakes (courtesy of my new BFF, Swoop Envy) and a lingerie shower for the future Mrs. G. We called it a night in preparation for our early morning. We had our party bus pick us up at the hotel at 11am for our winery tour. Yes, 11 o'clock in the morning!

I don't want to get long winded so I'll share our wine adventures tomorrow!

Bottoms Up!

February Weekends

February was a busy month. Enjoy the photo tour of my weekends recap.

Sorry for the poor quality photo its all my phone could do. Anyways, I saw The Remedy play at 42nd Street for a friend's birthday. We had a blast!! I even got the band to sing happy birthday to the birthday girl!!

Late February, I attended a bridal shower. I helped the MOH with menu and set up. The shower was held a cake shop so the atmosphere was perfect. It was a sweet shower. We had a great time and I can't wait to stand beside the bride on her big day in April!

Close up of the cupcakes at the shower. Then my camera died. Fail.

Awww this awesome kid! My sweet nephew was telling me that is Sunday morning biscuit was "haaaaa" aka hot.

Go Canes! Unfortunately, they lost the game I went to last weekend. They lost in double overtime but it was a good game to watch.

What did your February weekends look like?

Hello & Goodbye Monday

Monday has come and gone yet again. The weekend flew by in the blink of an eye. I'm still surprised that I made it to every event and still had time to wander around town with the old roomie.

Quick outline of the weekend-
  1. Former roommate in town for the weekend
  2. Friend from high school in town for the weekend
  3. 3rd Annual Chili Cookoff
  4. Skanksgiving (aka Slutty-Thankgiving)
  5. Dewey's 3rd birthday (Dewey is not a person...)
  6. New roommate moved in
Whew, I'm tired again from just typing about the weekend. I'm a horrible blogger, and didn't take a single picture!! I'm going to lightly stalk facebook in hopes of being able to steal some pictures. Finger crossed that I'll be back tomorrow with a photo or two to go with the great stories I have to share!! However, now its time for Gossip Girl.

Until Next Time,
Southern Gal
