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
S.O.S.

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

Official

Welp, its official. There is now a For Sale sign in my front yard.


Yes, I blacked out the realtor's info. I don't want anyone buying my home!

Sigh,

Goodbye 2011 Wedding Season

Welcome back folks! I hope you're making yourself at home here at the new blog. I know I'm working on making it comfortable and cozy. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

This past Saturday was my last wedding for the 2011 wedding season. Its bittersweet to bid farewell to 2011 weddings. This wedding season was filled with signature cocktail hunting, hot tamale pinatas, catching bouquets, scenic wine tours, adventures in Disney (FYI- the Magic Kingdom does not serve adult beverages, but Epcot does), Elvis, growing wine glass collection, Hollywood marquee, the cupid shuffle, and fairytale settings. Also, lots of mental notes of both dos and don'ts for whenever my prince finds me.

Whitney and Richie were the last to tie the knot this year. They exchanged vows and rings at the Sutherland in Wake Forest. We had a wonderful night dancing under the fall moon and starry night.


The ceremony was held outside on the Terrance and the reception was in a heated (thank goodness!) tent. The Remedy provided tunes while we tore up the dance floor! The bride and I went to a small, southern college together and it was so much fun to see some many alums in one place. We brought out some college songs and cheers with true EVEN and ODD rivalry. It was a wonderful evening for everyone! Cheers to the newlyweds, Mr. & Mrs. C!! Have fun in Jamaica.

In case you were wondering, I did not find my prince charming across the dance floor on Saturday. I'll let you know when I do!

xoxo,
Southern Girl

(I'll be trying out different signatures over the next few posts. Gotta find "the one.")
