Holy cow 2 months!


If the picture above is any indication of how interesting life has been then you may be starting to understand the craziness. As the summer came to an end here in Georgia I was able to wrap up summer camp and start to prep the horses for the return of the college girls. All 14 team members!! I'm so excited and insanely overwhelmed by all of the interest in our equestrian program this year, from a huge team to lots of phys ed students and an ever growing community program things are always busy at the barn. Amongst the craziness of getting the school horses ready I have also been searching for a new place for Lou pony to enjoy retirement. Sadly his retirement buddy had to be put down a couple of weeks ago so for the time being Lou is hanging out at college with his brother Spence. Searching for a new barn has been nothing short of interesting! I mean what could be more interesting than bumping into a zebra while snooping around a barn in the middle of Georgia?

And oh yea...we are less than 2 months away from the wedding!!!! Holy cow where did the time go?! Things are falling into place and invites are on the way so fingers crossed that things continue to go smoothly. Mike and I made a trip to Savannah a couple weeks ago for a hair trial and cake tasting. I am so excited about my hair and how wonderfully sweet everyone at Salon Twenty Ten is! We decided to try some local bbq at Wiley's Championship BBQ before our cake tasting and could not have gotten a better lunch. Be sure to stop in for some wonderfully yummy bbq during your Savannah trip. On the way home Mike and I made a pit stop at exit 98 and found some furry and feathered friends. So if you ever find yourself traveling down I-16 don't miss out on this hidden gem!





While we are in complete wedding planning panic mode we certainly aren't the only ones prepping to walk down the aisle and this past weekend Mike and I made a whirlwind trip up to Richmond,Va to celebrate the marriage of the beautiful Kristen and adorable Hass Wooten!
Y'all I got Mike to like bowties!!!
The weekend was a bit crazy with Mike and I hitting the road from Georgia on Friday night and arriving crazy early in the morning on Saturday but it was so so worth it. Being reunited with two of my best VI girls and all of the love was exactly what we needed. Plus everything about the day and wedding was absolutely gorgeous...and very well timed thanks to Kristen's schedule. I may need to get her to make my day of timeline! I'm not kidding everything was timed right down to the minute...just the way it should be.
After a night of celebrating the Wooten's, Mike and I were back on the road on Sunday but not before a quick visit with the Doyles and their absolutely adorable twins! It was so great to finally meet Timmy and Dory and made me even more excited about the family that I am joining in October! Fingers crossed our future children are that adorable and well behaved.
And drumroll please...... we just had to stop at South of the Border on our roadtrip back south. Y'all it is pretty much just as you would imagine it from all of the billboards, certainly a place we will only stop in the daylight but it was a great spot to stretch our legs and get some giggles. Plus you can follow "Pedro" on instagram at @sobpedro....and no I'm not kidding that is truly their name on instagram.

We made it back to Georgia safely and to two very happy pups. Now we are back to work and back to our own wedding plans. So bring on the ice cream so I can get through the final weeks of wedding prep!!
As well finalize more of our wedding plans please be sure to check in on our wedding website for updates on hotel room blocks, places to visit during your stay and much more!

    1. Mike and I said the same thing about not getting a picture! How in the world did we manage that with the two of us?!
