Bachelorette week-end in Hilton Head

I promised you a Bachelorette week-end post, so here it is! 

I know I'm a little late posting these pictures, but now that all our wedding festivities are over (sigh), I promised myself I would be a better, and more consistant blogger :) 

It's not easy being a blogger when you have a full-time job, and you have officially become a full-time wife.  

I'm a little worried as to how I will juggle it all once we have children. 

But one thing at a time! 

I really wanted to go to the beach for my Bachelorette Party, so my hubby's uncle and aunt offered us their house in Hilton Head.  It is a short distance to the beach, and close to all the fun restaurants and bars. 

How perfect?!

Not everyone was available to come that weekend, but the six of us decided to make the best of it. 

And that, we did! 

I think the pictures will speak for themselves. 

I'm pretty sure you are wondering if this is a Bachelorette party, or your typical college night out!?

Well, let's just say that some of us don't really go out anymore, especially when it's all of us girls. 

So I think we were overly-excited about our night out. 

And I think we totally made the best of it! 

I just wish I had more picture of us at the beach, and actually acting like the ladies we all are. 

Hopefully one of my bridesmaids will post hers on Facebook so I can steal them!

It was a memorable weekend nonetheless. 

And my bridesmaids were the best a bride could ask for. 

Seriously. 

Hilton Head 2011 Ladies!

Fill in the Blank Friday

Hi friends! 

How are we doing on this beautiful Fall Friday?!  I understand that it might colder (or warmer) in your neck of the woods.  

But down here in Atlanta, we have an amazing cool and sunny Fall day ahead. 

My favorite!

I've been really busy with work, and settling into our new married life. 

No one warned me about post-wedding blues, and it's definitely been an adjustment! 

We've also spent time unpacking all our amazing gifts, and trying to find space in our apartment to store everything. 

Needless to say, we were not really successful.  So the guest room will remain as the "wedding room" until we can figure out a better way to organize everything. 

Or until we get a house.

We've had the house bug for a couple of weeks now.  And I think we've agreed that we are going to look into it at the beginning of 2012.

New project?!  Yes please! 

I'm looking forward to this weekend, as it is our last GA State tailgate of the year (sadness). 

All good things come to an end, right?!

Oh well.  It's the Holiday season, and that alone is enough for me! 

Here are your Fill in the Blank Friday, courtesy of Lauren of course!!! 

PS. I am loving the picture she chose today. 

1.   A nervous habit I have is  cracking my fingers, my neck, my back - you name it.  I know it is horrible for me, and I try to control it.  But there are times when I just can't resist! Most people hate it, but lucky for me, my husband is just as obsessed as I am with cracking things!

2.   Something that makes me sad is people who take their families, and friends for granted.  I understand that we are all very busy with our lives, but we shouldn't let it come in the way of spending time, or even just making a phone call, to our close ones. 

3.  Today I am thankful for  my sweet husband who told me that he couldn't wait to "get me a house" last night.  seriously - he is a amazing.

4. My favorite room in my house is  our living room.  I love lazy days with Michael when we are just laying around bundled up on the couch, and watching sports, or our favorite shows.  Plus it's really cozy, and pretty.  I love love our little apartment :)

5.  I can't stand waking up early in the morning.  I live for those last couple of minutes before I have to get up.  I swear 2 extra minutes make a difference!

6.  If I had an extra $100 to spend on whatever I wanted today I would  probably put it towards getting my car fixed.  I need new break pads, and I swear, I hate spending money on car maintenance - so boring!!!  If I didn't have this to take care of, I would probably get a new pair of Tory Burch ballerinas!

7.  The last person I hung out with was  my mom and brother last night after I got off work. I am lucky enough to live 1.7 miles for my work, which is also the halfway point between our apartment and my parent's house.  I love being able to go over there whenever I want.  I could never live far away from my family. 

I hope you all have an amazing weekend!! 

It's the last Fall weekend before Winter - brrrr!!!!

Happy Friday!

See?  I told you things were getting back to normal. 

What is everyone up to this weekend? 

My weekend is going to be filled with lots of College football on Saturday, hanging out with family and friends, Falcons game on Sunday, and organizing my closet. 

I'm excited for a normal Fall weekend! 

Here are your Fill in the Blank Friday, courtesy of Lauren as usual :)

1.   My favorite thing about this week was/is  that Michael and I finally had our first meal at home as a married couple! We got to use all our new kitchen stuff, and it makes cooking so much more fun!

2.   Colder weather makes me happy! I am not a fan of Summer time at all.  Don't get me wrong, I don't like the freezing cold weather either - but I will take a high of 45/50 and sunny every day!

3.  Three things that make me terribly happy as of late are  my husband (eeee), and all the awesome gifts we received for our wedding! We were truly spoiled rotten!

4. If I could only wear one kind of shoe for the rest of my life, I'd choose   black Tory Burch ballerinas! 

5.  My personality type is   type A all the way!  There is no relaxing for this girl unless everything is clean, organized, and having the feeling that I did everything on my to-do list for the day. 

6.  I have a serious problem resisting   ANY type of sweets - it's really bad! 

 

7.  My favorite color to wear is  black and gray.

 

Have a FABULOUS weekend!!! 

Getting Back To Normal

It is not as easy as I thought it would be.  

I'm not going to lie - I have major post-wedding depression.

Don't get me wrong, we had a FABULOUS wedding, and our Honeymoon was perfect. 

And now I have this huge void because I don't have a million to-do lists to worry about! 

Our wedding weekend was beyond everything I expected. 

I mean it. 

I am still waiting for the professional pictures, because talking about will not do it justice! 

Until then, I wanted to give you a sneak peak.

More to come!!

It's good to be back, blogger friends!!!

Fill in the Blank Friday

One week. 

One week away from the rehearsal dinner, from the most important weekend of our lives, from our wedding weekend. 

We are so close my friends, and I can't tell you how ready I am for the big day. 

Until then, I figured I'd treat yall to a Feel in the Blank Friday! 

 

1.   The most selfless thing I've ever done was   putting myself "aside" when my little brother was born.  There were complications with my mom's pregnancy, and Kevin was born prematurely (7.5months), and we knew he would have difficulties growing.  From then on, I always "made myself little" (French expression!), and tried to give my parents as little to worry about as possible so they could focus all their time/energy on Kevin.  Well worth it!

2.   When it comes to working out I don't exactly enjoy it, but I feel like something is missing when I stay a few days without going to the gym.  I like taking classes, and varying things so that I don't get bored doing the same thing all the time. 

3.  A woman should always take the time to take care of herself.  Whether a daughter, a girl friend, a Fiancee, a wife, or a mother.  It is important to take a step back, and take the time to pamper yourself/have some "you" time. 

4. I wish I could move back to Paris for a year and then I'd show Michael where I grew up, teach him French, and we go live as Parisiens for a while!

5.  A best friend is there for you no matter what. Who doesn't judge you, and who will drop whatever it is she is doing to help you out, to listen to you, and be there for you.  

6.  I can't get enough of  anything Fall related!!!

7.  This weekend I am finishing up last minute wedding preparations, and spending some time with Michael.  We decided to have a weekend "in", by ourselves :)
