I am up way too late!

Its about midnight and I can't sleep! Paul is out of town all week and I have such a hard time sleeping when he is gone. So, I decided to get some stuff done. Including decorating my table for the fall! What do you think? Dressing tables is one of my favorite things to do when I plan events and love doing it at home as well! Goodnight, I am off to conquer.

I've been blog tagged!

My sister-in-law tagged my bog! I guess this means I have to say 6 random things about me and then tag some of you! Here is goes:

1. I was once chased by a moose in Winter Park while sleeping under the stars. The 2 other girls that were with me at some point in the middle of the night got up and went back to our cabin. And I woke up alone to the sound of an animal drinking by the lake next to me. I jumped up and started running and the moose came after me! But I outran that darn moose and am alive to tell the story :)

2. I love to play golf. In high school I played on varsity. Not because I was any good, but because any girl who joined the team automatically played varsity. But I learned the sport and love it. Although I don't have many other girls to play with so don't get out much.

3. I have always had a fascination with the Cello. As a kid I always wanted to play and still long to learn. This is one of my goals for the near future. Hold me to it y'all! (I know, I live in Georgia now, I can say y'all)

4. I was born 6 weeks premature. I wasn't supposed to live past 3 days old. But the crazy thing was I was still 7lbs! I would have been 11lbs if I went full term! I am a little worried about having kids. Can this be my excuse as to why we aren't having kids yet?!?! Since I seem to be bugged a lot about this (I am not pointing any fingers though).

5. Once I got to sit in first class (Thanks Brent Hanlon for giving me your free upgrade :)) But what was crazy was I ended up sitting next to Left Eye from the group TLC (whom I loved in high school!"don't go chasin waterfalls, please stick to the..." oh sorry) on a flight to Honduras. I had no idea who she was at first and then we started to curtious airplane chat. She ended up passing away that week in a car crash while in Honduras. Very sad.

6. And....I married my high school sweetheart and first love. Both Paul and I knew 100% without a doubt that we were going to marry each other when we were 18. People definatly thought we were crazy. And we waited to make sure we weren't crazy. But so far so good :)

There we go. 6 random facts that I bet a lot of you didn't know! Tag your it, Amber Rasmusen, Katie Lew, Joelle Tuner and Kristi Gage!

Grandparents came to town!


Sorry it has been a while. And I owe you guys a rafting post and a post about when my mama came to town. Things have been a little crazy!

So, my grandparents from Denver made Paul and I a little visit this last week. We had a lot of fun going to Savannah, eating lots of yummy food and seeing some new Atlanta sights! Here are some pics:
Some cool Spanish hanging moss that hangs all over the trees here in the south. I think it makes things look really spooky!


Me hanging out with a cardboard cut out of Paula Dean at her store in Savannah. I love Paula Dean!


Grandma and Grandpa hanging out at the cemetery we toured





These are all the headstones that soldiers during the civil war knocked over and moved around. And so they put them all on this wall because nobody knows where they should go.


Some cool stained glass at one of the churches we toured.


Grandpa, Gradma and Paul at Pitty Pats Porch. This is a like a super old school Atlanta tourist "must do" which the whole resturant is based on Gone With the Wind.


Paul holding his sweet menu that is a fan like the little southern belle he is.


Grandma and Grandpa at The Crab Shack.

It was pirate weekend in Savannah.
