Now they're off honeymooning in Turks & Caicos (jealous!!). I'm missing my mulitiple daily talks with my friend and want her to hurry up and come home! That's selfish, I know. I'm also going to be jealous of how tan she is when she gets back.

Wordless Wednesday: Brady

The Final Countdown!

The next time you hear from me, my best friend will be a married woman! SO weird, but SO happy for her. I wish could remember every single one of the fun times we had together, but I'm sure alcohol has to do something with my fuzzy memory.

Emily and I became friends our freshman year of college when we pledged the same sorority, Chi Omega. The next four years were full of mixers, road trips, tailgates, concerts, boys, and picking up the pieces for each other once our hearts broken by those boys. Now that we've graduated college, not much has changed..except that we're not attending mixers anymore and we get excited about buying furniture, gardening and other "grown up" activities.

The first time I "met" David was actually the day before Emily met him! I was on a friend's boat on July 4th two years ago and towards the end of the day, after many adult beverages had been consumed, there was this CRAZY guy dancing all by himself on the front of the boat. I laughed at him and didn't think much more about it.

The next day, a big group of us went to Folly beach for the day and went downtown that night. While we were at our typical hangout, Brick, I spotted Emily talking to a guy while she was waiting on a drink. I suddenly realized it was CRAZY BOAT DANCING GUY! I assumed she needed to be saved so I went over and tried to interfere. Come to find out, she was actually enjoying talking to CBDG, so I left the two of them alone. The following day, they went on a lunch date to Dog & Duck and the rest is history..I would also like to add that David claims that he saw Emily at Brick two weeks prior to them meeting and said he saw her checking him out.

"A great marriage is not when the 'perfect couple' comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences."

Holy crap, I think I just wrote my MOH speech!

Now, of course, time for a few pictures:

Stella and Dot Giveaway + A Shout Out to my Daddy!

Hi everyone! I had a very busy weekend with work (and some play) so I apologize for the lack of posts!

First of all, I won my very first blog giveaway last week! It's the World I Know gave away a super cute, brand new with tags, Lilly Pulitzer halter top and I was randomly chosen as the winner! Click the link to see a picture of it and check our "Cool Gal's" blog. The top will look great with my white skinny jeans!
Now, the newest giveaway that I entered to win is from Same Sweet Girl's blog. She is giving away a beautiful necklace from Stella and Dot seen below:
Stella and Dot is a jewelry line that makes it possible to shop directly on their website or host a trunk show. I'm thinking about hosting one, myself!

Here are a couple of my favorite pieces from their website:

Starfish Earrings - $34

Selma Brooch Cuff - On sale $83

And last but not least, I want to give a shout out to my Dad! He had some (more) skin cancer removed from his face last week and will be out of work for a few weeks. Even worse, he won't be able to attend my best friend's wedding on Saturday. :( Hope you're feeling better soon, Dad!

Bye Bye Saks

Next Sunday, the Saks in Charleston will be closing it's doors FOR-EV-ER. While this makes me sad, it makes my wallet happy. Although trying to find a place to park downtown makes me want to pull my hair out, I hate paying for shipping even more. So, yesterday after my BFF, Emily (who is getting married in 9 days!!!!) treated me to a massage, we went downtown to get my final fitting for my bridesmaid dress that is being made. What happens to be a few doors down from the seamstress? Saks. What is plastered all over Saks' windows? "60-80% off!" How could I, or anyone for that matter, resist?? After trying on a handful of dresses and a pair of jeans, I walked away with my very first pair (yes, you read that right) of Sevens. For $60! I don't get into the whole buying 25 pairs of similiar jeans at $200 each. That's just not me. I'd rather have 234385 dresses.

This weekend will be a busy one! Have a rehearsal dinner tomorrow night for work and then working a half day on Saturday before I head down to the City Marina to hopefully celebrate the Major Motion winning the Megadock tournament! Sunday will probably be spent on the boat recuperating from the tournament celebration (even if they don't win).

Happy 4th of July!

I type this as I sit at work, bored, with 2 hours left to go! Meanwhile, my family and friends are out in the sunshine enjoying the beautiful weather.

Since I work for the community association for Kiawah Island, there are a ton of property owners and their families at the pool today! There are decorations everywhere, a lunch buffet, pool games and a live musician. I would be totally excited about all that - if I could actually enjoy it instead of sitting inside, with nothing to do. I'll stop being a Negative Nancy now though :)

In lieu of Independence Day, I wore this dress (except mine is red, white & blue!..couldn't find an exact picture online):

Yesterday Cameron, Emily, Jonathan, Brady (pup) and I went out on the boat to Botany Bay. It started out really windy but finally calmed down. Saw a few friends I hadn't seen in a while and it turned out to be a really fun day! Waking up this morning at 7am was not so fun. Here are a few pics from yesterday..

Brady & I on the way out

So handsome.

Me & the bff, Emily, who gets married in 2 weeks! Ahh!!

Me & the Mr.

After work I'm headed to Cameron's parent's house for a 4th of July cookout! YUM! That is all of my randomness for now..
