Friends, Fun, & Football

Last weekend one of my college bff's, Catie, came up for a visit! We had a fabulous time! We had not seen each other since last October so we were excited to see one another and we had a lot of catching up to do. We went shopping, antiquing, and had a few great meals out around Nashville. Catie is such a great friend and we always have a wonderful time together. Lots of laughing was involved, which is always a great thing.

Friday night we had dinner at Virago

We dined on the rooftop and the sushi was really good.

Saturday we had lunch at Marche and then we headed to Franklin to walk around the adorable little downtown area as well as go through a few of the antique stores.

Saturday night we had a great dinner at Park Cafe. Mmmmm.

I had a really great time Catie! Come back and visit soon dear!

Well, I cannot believe Labor Day weekend is upon us. This summer flew by, but my hubby and I are ecstatic about college football starting up! Matt's team, Georgia Tech kicks off their season tonight and it feels like a national holiday around here! Needless to say, I heard "It's Gameday" more than once this morning.

Here are a few cute entertaining products great for the upcoming football season (I'll have a post with more next week)...

Last week my sister, Katie, was here for a visit! If you have read my blog at all you know how close Katie and I are and how much I love when she comes up to visit us...this time was no different. We had a ball! This was her first visit to Nashville so we did a lot of exploring and had a ton of fun. We also laughed a lot, which is always a wonderful thing.

Matt & me after church on Easter Sunday

Love her and I am already anticipating her next visit!

Katie and I went to some of the awesome antique stores in downtown Franklin and I could not take my eyes off this little piece of fabulousness

Love it!

Here is the Easter tree that I decorated and put in our living room

I have since taken it down, but I wanted to share it because it's so happy and cute

And on another note, my husband is super sweet and very thoughtful (most of the time!) but I thought the nice delivery lady had the wrong house when I opened the door this morning and saw this gorgeous arrangement in her hands...

Peonies are my favorite!

Gorgeous

But then she said they were for me and I happily accepted them. Today is the anniversary of when Matt & I met and he always does something sweet and unexpected to acknowledge the date (which I feel embarrassed to admit has previously slipped my mind in the past and i felt pretty crappy when I did not know why he was giving me a sweet card and little something out of the blue). I am very grateful to have a hubby who always remembers this day and I think it is really cute.
