Spring Fling!

Hello all! It's been a hot second since I've blogged so I thought I'd update you on some life happenings. Spring is surely my favorite time of year: the weather, the flowers, the clothes, the activities, I LOVE IT!

We've had the fortune of having some great family and friends throw us a few wedding showers and they have been such blast. We're now going through all of our things and handing them down or donating them to make way for all of our fun new toys. The best part of all this is that I'm becoming well equiped to throw my own lil' shindig. I love hosting and party planning so I'm glad I won't be scrounging around the house to find something to serve the goodies on. Get ready for yummy finger foods and delicious infused coktails people!

Atlanta is such a great place to be in the spring. You can keep it as simple as a patio with some live music on a Friday afternoon, or you can attend one of the many outdoor festivals that takes place. The great thing about these festivals is that they all give back in some way to the city, and expose local artists, farmers, musicians, restaurants, and even breweries! Most of these festivals are free so you can just wander about, or get in on the action.

Shopping!! I'm really not a shopping addict, although I have lots of clothes. I just don't get rid of as much as I should. I pretty much hold off clothes shopping all winter. The clothes just don't get me all jazzed like a cute sundress and sweet sandals does. I've also got a wonderful bachelorette weekend and honeymoon coming up that I'm stocking up for!

My girls & I are taking off in 2 weeks for the bachelorette party and I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you get that? EXCITED!!!! We're off to Lake Lanier to lounge, sing, dance, drink, and play. It will be just the right mix of excitement/relaxation I've been needing. The play list is in the works.

Pretty much I just enjoy sitting outside, putting on some music, sipping a beer, and taking it all in. Spring is in full swing people, soak it up!
