April Showers of Happiness

April is my absolute favorite month of the year {I think...I may have said that about October. But it's April}.

Why?

Because: Jack Rogers, baseball, pink nail polish, engagiversary, Easter, The Taste of the Symphony, azaleas, first beach days, my mom's birthday, tulips, white clothes, Blue & White spring football game, driving with the windows down, thunderstorms, new beginnings, encroaching of summer, the Master's, Layla Claire's birthday, exploring Savannah, time with family, and so much more!

Happy April!

Spring Decorations

Easters {name that movie!}.

Oh how I love thee!

Spring decorations, beautiful blooms out my window, and sun-shiny days. With the move happening about the same time as I would be getting out my Easter decorations, I didn't put out  a lot this year, but here are the few fun things I do get to enjoy:

Mossy Bunny, TJ Maxx, $9

Pastel Egg Wreath, $12, Wal-Mart

Pink, Green, and Yellow crocheted doily from my Nana

Neon Glitter Eggs, $3 pack, Wal-Mart 

The eggs in the mason jar do come with a story. They originally were in a crystal bowl on a bed of "grass" on the sofa table with Mr. Moss Bunny. But I have a puppy that really likes eggs. Scrambled, runny, or Styrofoam, she seems to enjoy them all. After waking up too many nights in a row to the "ding!" of her tag on the side of the bowl as she sneaked off with her prize, and vacuuming up bits of yellow, pink, and blue, I decided to transfer the speckled, tooth-mark filled eggs to a safer location.  

I love all the pastel, pretty colors that Easter and spring bring. This year, Christopher's family has decided on yellow for their Easter clothes. Since we traditionally spend Easter with them, I need to find a dress. But I don't wear yellow. So I'm thinking something along these lines might just do: 

Lilly Pulitzer, Alexa Shift, $198

It's got yellow in it! 

Moving Mania

the white house

Hello, end of-March! I never do well in February when it comes to maintaining the blog. It's too short, and crammed way to full with holidays, parties, and work events. Then today, I look down and noticed it's the last week in March--oops!

In February, I moved into a new house! It was crazy, but I'm finally getting settled into a beautiful new home that will work well once Christopher (hopefully) is in Statesboro full time after he graduates next year.

It's a great older home with a large yard for the dogs, and plenty of running around room on the inside too. I feel like I'm still in a moving kind of transition as I realized I need some new pieces to complete the look of a larger home, and I've not hung up a single thing. I love being in a detatched real house--it's so quiet, and Layla barks so much less. Plus, I have awesome neighbors, which makes it all really fun.

Now maybe I can think about blogging again, as we head into the busy spring with wedding planning, multiple Easter functions, and a multitude of work. Be on the look out for some of the things I'll be using as inspiration for my wedding next spring! *eeek!*

First really big, big girl purchase: brand new W&D.
Also notice, this house has a dishwasher--yippee!
