Y'all Come Inn!

I spent last weekend celebrating my old college roomie, Meg, down on Tybee Island, GA. She is getting married on June 4th in LaGrange. We stayed in the famous, Paula Deen Beach House. I am waiting on the official photographer of the weekend to post group pictures and some other fun stuff that we did, but here are my wonderful phone pictures to give you a hint of Paula's fabulous decor!
















Friday night we all arrived pretty late. I have a picture of the food table and of the bedroom that I shared with my BFF Bex. We played some fun games and Meg opened gifts. I would say that Friday night was GIRL time to the EXTREME. Lots of laughter!



Saturday me and my old roomies ate breakfast on the front porch, and then stayed on the beach all day. WE came in long enough to eat lunch and cool off. We found the Paula sign hidden behind the curtain...which made us laugh because she looked like a ghost. I guess the girls sleeping downstairs got scared in the night and hid her there.






We ate dinner at Uncle Bubba's Oyster House on the marsh and went to a Dueling Piano Saloon, called Savannah Smiles for Meg's night out. We ate so much and I could just drink the Shore is good seafood dip. The piano bar was fun for a few hours...the music and atmosphere was awesome. However, I am too old to be staying there until 3am. Savannah seemed scary about that time, and I had a young frat boy that desperately wanted me to get up and dance with him. Thankfully, my girl, Bex, had my back!! Meg had the best time, and that is what matters. Seriously though, there were seven police men blocking off an alley and unheard of things going on...which made for a long walk back to our cars. It was about that time that we had the great idea of bringing "Paula" with us everywhere we went and taking group pictures with her. We didn't do it, but wouldn't it have been funny?







Sunday we went and walked River Street, then ate lunch at Crystal Beer Palace. Yum! Then sadly, we all departed and headed back to various parts of the state. I'm excited about a reunion in June. I was in charge of writing in the guest book at Paula's place. We had a blast!


Matt spent the weekend with my parents (my hometown) which isn't far from Savannah. So, he came and picked me up and we spent another day on Tybee Island. Perfect relaxation.






I'll post more pictures when I get them!! Y'all have a great day!!!

I could get used to this...


I'm finally home...enjoying my Spring Break from school! I've done a lot in a few short days. I went to a bachelorette weekend with friends, spent a day at the beach, enjoyed family time, I've read a good book, and gotten a few things crossed off my to do list. I'm excited about having the time to get some organizational projects done, and some relaxing time at home too. A little break was just what I needed! I could really get used to having time on my hands!

This verse about lept of the page at me this afternoon.
2 Chronicles 20:20b
Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be able to stand firm. Believe in his prophets, and you will succeed.
