I could just go on & on... happy Wednesday folks, we're half way there!!

Showers; baby & wedding.

This past weekend we headed to Auburn to do some serious celebrating :) My Mammaw and two aunts threw a shower for my cousin Robyn and her fiance and also my sister-in-law Katherine and coming soon baby Caroline! It was Auburn and tailgate themed and I had a lot of fun wrapping their gifts in orange and blue. War Eagle! It was a family shower so the house was filled with lots of family, from quite a few families. 

We had fun catching up with extended family and showering our loved ones! If June 27th (Katherine's due date) and August 4th (Robyn's wedding day) could just hurry up and arrive I'm sure everyone would be beyond thrilled! Here's a few photos from the shower:

{Me and the Elizabeth's with Katherine and Robyn. So happy to have my favorite girls there!}

{Love my Tatum girl even though she refuses to say my name}

{Katherine's parents gave Blake a fun little gift! The apron says "Daddy on Duty" and the pockets are filled with funny things dads would love to ideally use on a daily bases: diaper trash bags, plastic gloves, air freshener & a mask for diaper duty}

{Tatum girl keeping everyone entertained!}

{With one of our favorite engaged couples!}

Hubby did such a great job at the shower... since I had to tend to my "matron of honor duties" (haha), he manned the camera for me and was just as sweet as can be. Times like this remind me of how lucky I am to have this boy!

Miscellany Monday.

Linking up with Carissa for Miscellany Monday :)

Smash is my new favorite show. I know it's slightly raunchy but it's so entertaining!! It makes Monday's that much more tolerable! I love all the dancing, singing, and drama! Can't wait for the episode tonight- I think things are finally going to get better for Karen!

SO excited to head to Auburn this weekend. It's been completely too long and I get to go to Katherine's baby shower/Robyn and Greg's wedding shower!

Falling in love with some pinterest finds here lately. Hubby thinks I absolutely don't need anymore shoes... I pretty much don't agree with him! They are too stinkin' cute!

{love them too? find them here}

WANT to make this chocolate fudge pound cake. It looks completely delicious! I need a party to take it to- give me an excuse to make it!!  YUM!

So there's the randoms for this Monday. Let's hurry and move on to Tuesday, please!

Day trip to Atlanta.

For Christmas I got Matthew tickets to see the pro basketball team- the Atlanta Hawks. Little did I know, going to a pro game for the first time for a guy is like letting a girl like me have a shopping spree at the nearest mall! I made a remark while at the game that the guy in front of us was taking quite a bit of pictures of all the players and how I thought it was funny. Matthew said, "I would do the same thing." Haha, who knew... learn something new about my hubby all the time. 

Hubby was the sweetest and brought me Chickfila in bed for breakfast- yes, I do stay in bed that long! Once we got all ready we headed to Leeds to check out the outlets. We both had never been there... I was impressed! It was super nice and is now my new favorite place. They have Gap and Banana Republic outlets! Hubby bought me an outfit and lets just say I could have done sooo much damage to the budget there!! We had a yummy free pretzel from Auntie Anne's while we were there! Success, success!

We eventually made it to Atlanta and found a place to park downtown. We headed to the CNN center. It was our first time there too. We we're impressed with it too! How great to have a food court connected to the Philips Arena. SO great! We had some yummy Chinese- I was set on getting my Chinese fix! Then watched some CNN before heading into the game!

{After the game in the Arena}

Here's my two instagrams from the day:

{So many crazies in one day! First we see an old man just riding along on the side of the road, not in a lane at all. Next the girl next to us at the game kept a toy frog on her hand the whole game- and continued to take pictures with it... which we we're conveniently in the background. And don't even get me started on all the GA Tech fraties... What a day!}

We forgot how long of a drive it is from Birmingham to Atlanta. In the words of Matthew... "We won't be doing that again for a while!" But it was all super fun, so great to be able to spend all day with my hubby!

March photos.

Happy March everyone!! Time is flying by... just two little months till hubby and I will celebrate our first anniversary!!

So, I stumbled across #Marchphotoaday this morning on Pearls & Such... originally from Fat Mum Slim!

I am so excited to attempt to do it this month! I saw quite a few February hashtags for it last month and wondered where it had come from!

Here's the guidelines from Chantelle:

*Starting on March 1st take a photo each day with inspiration from the prompt. For example prompt 1 is 'up', so take a photo looking up. Or of the word 'up'. Or something that lifts your mood 'up'. It it totally up to you how you want to interpret it.

*Once you've taken your photo you can share it on Instagram, Facebook {on your own profile or business page}, Twitter, Flickr, your blog, Pinterest, Tumblr or even just keep them in a folder on your desktop. If you're sharing on Twitter or Instagram add the hashtag #Marchphotoaday so others can find your photos too.

Are you going to play too?!
