Happy Anniversary - Seventeen Years and Counting!

What were you doing seventeen years ago today, October 22, 1994? I was getting my hair done, of course...in preparation for my wedding! 


On this day in history, I married my best friend (affectionately known around these parts as the "DH"). I feel so blessed to be married to this man, and have never known it more than I do this year, on this anniversary. My BFF has been going through a breakup of her 19 year marriage, and my heart is broken for her and her family. While the DH and I are by no means perfect (who is?), I have no doubt that we will grow old together. 


Not to mention, who else would support my shopping habits? :-) 


I wanted to share some hilarious pictures of us through the years, please don't laugh too hard. There are some rather unfortunate hair and fashion moments going on in a few of these...


Southern Caribbean Cruise, 1996.


Holiday Party at my parent's house, 1997. (My friend and hairdresser Phillip called us "Snooki and Paulie D in this one!)
Cabo San Lucas, Cabo Wabo Cantina, 1999.
On our wedding day, 1994.
Cruise to Mexico, September 2008
Easter Sunday with my Nanny, 2009
St. Patrick's Day parade, 2010. 
Christmas Day, 2010. 
Red Snapper Fishing, June 2011.
As I was looking through my recent photos (in an attempt to share a current one with you guys), I am saddened by one realization. The DH has been out of town a bunch in 2011. Honestly, since June, he's been gone more than he has been home. There aren't any pictures of us from this past summer (other than the one above after deep sea fishing). 


Happy Anniversary, DH! I hate you're not here today and we can't celebrate together. My sister is serving as your "stand in" today for the Alabama vs. Tennessee game in Tuscaloosa. We will have a HUGE celebration when you get home - hopefully very soon! 


Have a Super Saturday! How do you like those old pictures? I can't believe there is actually photographic proof that we used to wear Tommy Hilfiger....hahaha....

My Visit With Caroline Grace Jewelry

Image
Happy Tuesday, Shopaholics! Thanks so much for all your kind words and comments after my last blog post. Admittedly I was feeling a wee bit sorry for myself and a little unloved. You know I'm not normally one to be "down" on anything - least of all myself! Your support means the world to me, and I really appreciate you all caring about my life - even when I'm not shopping. LOL Do you remember me being excited about getting tickets to the Bon Jovi concert here at the beach? I managed to talk my friend Lucy over at Caroline Grace Jewelry into coming down for the concert and to spend the weekend.  It was the first time we'd met in person, although we were already big buddies on Twitter, Facebook, etc. DH was calling her a "computer friend"; so thankfully she came down and proved to him she was a "real friend". We started the weekend by getting fresh pedicures on Friday morning: Then, we went down to the public beach for the concert. We tai

Birthday Celebration: Lilly Pulitzer Giveaway from The Pink Pelican

Image
Today I will celebrate my birthday. I'm a little bit sad to report, the DH is out of town and won't be able to come home for the festivities. Not that it's a big deal or anything (not a milestone birthday or anything), but I am a LEO and y'all know it's true - Leos love their birthday. I'm no exception! Tonight I will celebrate with my sister and BFF by going out to dinner, and tomorrow with birthday cake and gifts with my parents, nephews and friends. I'm so thankful for it all, but I'm going to miss my sweetie. :-(  My friends at The Pink Pelican in Huntsville have generously offered a giveaway to commemorate the day!  Most of you know, they are one of my favorite Lilly Pulitzer Via shops and I buy lots of my Lilly from Angie and The Pelican Crew! I love knowing that I am supporting a small, female owned business. In today's economy, I think that is very important. If you are considering any purchases from the new Lilly Pulitzer Fall 2011 line

Testing The Waters

***Y'all who were reading before - you know I am HONEST to a fault. This post contains my honest feelings and is not censored. If you came here today to get cheered up or motivated, I apologize in advance. You might want to tune in another day!*** A big hello to you all! Wow - I can't believe it has been four years since I was involved in blogging. I have often wondered "is it time to revive the blog" over this time...and after some encouragement from long time readers and friends, I have decided to test the waters!  It feels so strange - I don't even know if folks read blogs anymore! I know that most blogging happens on platforms such as Instagram, which in my mind is for pictures more than content. And heck let's face it, most days I don't even put on makeup or fix my hair, so that will NOT work for this chick. HA! If you're still around and want to read my ramblings, this is the place for you. 😀 The last time I blogged I was so focused on
