From Peach to Palmetto

Fall is in the air!! Last Friday I took the day off of work since I had some friends fly and drive into town from CA,TX, and Raleigh. We headed to Simpsonville SC for the Third Day Family Picnic. My coworker texted me to say, "I think that your fall swap arrived today". I couldn't wait to get to work on Monday to see what Jeni had sent!! I didn't have my camera with me so I waited until I got home late Monday night and took pictures as I opened it.

Here is my FALL that sweet Jeni sent:

F- Footies and in my favorite color......PINK!


A- Adorable Apple Basket


L- Light....Yummy Apple Candle


L- Latte.....which the Pumpkin Spice is at Starbucks right now so that is definitely what this will be used for on a cool fall day!


Thanks so much Jeni!! Hope it feels like FALL soon for you in FL!
The swap was a lot of fun! Thanks again to Denise for organizing it!!

Happy Fall Y'all!

Another blog swap happened and this time we were seeing red and pink! Sweet Maddie had my name and boy did I luck out!! Last Sunday-Monday I was sick and didn't work until Tuesday.....what a fun suprise awaited me!



Look at this presentation!


Front of the cute card:


Yummy Jelly Belly......love jelly beans! Some of which were consumed on my trip to CA!


Adorable hot pink & silver photo frame! Which will fit in PERFECTLY in my guest room which is black/white/hot pink!


Thanks SO much Maddie! I hope that you have a wonderful Valentine's day!!

Really enjoyed seeing this and wanted to share it:


He is OUR father.
Not the sketch in the paper or a part of a skit on tv.
Many people will think that they know him.
But they will have no idea how he felt the day you were born.
The pride he felt on your first day of school.
Or how much you both love being his daughters.
Remember who your dad really is.

Whew! Where did December go?!? It was a very fun, exciting month filled with lots of family, friends, and fun times!! This is going to be a re-cap post, so hang in there!

To start things off, here is my tree this year.....pink, black, & silver. Definitely a girly tree. :O)

The month started off with a Christmas Party hosted by Ryan & Chas at Ryan's House. It was also a fundraiser for Chas' mission trip to Bulgaria that begins February 6. Please pray for the team that is going, I know that they would appreciate it.


Some fun friends enjoying the party....

Next was another small Christmas party at my sweet friends, Ashley & Britt's house...





My brother and his family came up a few weekends before Christmas to celebrate....we had a wonderful time! Then my parents & I went to Atlanta Christmas day to be with extended family. Here is a little slideshow of the family Christmas time.


The Saturday morning before Christmas, Hannah hosted a Christmas brunch for the BGEA kids club. It was so great to spend some time with everyone.


The Saturday before Christmas, the Six Pack got together. We went to see the lights in McAdenville and then went back to Jessica's house for a fiesta and Dirty Santa! Win, Lose, or Draw was also played......Six Pack style! Everything that we had to draw was something related to the Six Pack.....oh the laughs & memories!
What fun is a "normal" picture?!? Let's do something different.....JUMP!

Two of the Dirty Santa gifts. Don't YOU wish that you were the lucky recipient?!?

Some of the Win, Lose, or Draw action.

Hope your December was as WONDERFUL as mine!! Now let's shine and look fine in 2009!
