Lately...

We had plenty of weddings to go to this summer, including tow of Nick's cousins, and one of his good friends, who also happens to be in our wedding. Nick's cousin Emily was married in June in Camden, SC, and his cousin Kaitlan was married on the fourth of July in High Point, NC. This is a picture from her beautiful reception!


My mom made a wonderful birthday dinner, and the love of my life, Sarah, came home from Africa just in time to eat some wonderful home cooked food. My mom made a cake that looked like presents stacked on top of each other, and this is the picture after I blew out the candles. She's so Martha Stewart sometimes. :)

I celebrated my birthday on August 11, and Nick took me to a show at Blumethal Performing Arts center called Shear Madness. It is absolutely the funniest thing I have ever seen, and we had great seats, as you can tell by the picture! It was almost like a dinner theater, and our table was right in front. In the show, they cast interacts with the audience, and Nick got picked on ;) It was so funny and a wonderful birthday present!

I can't believe the summer is almos over, and we have three weeks until the wedding! Ahh!

Bridal Shower with the Herman and Lafone side of the family!

The adorable tables and favors for all of the guests
The wonderful gifts!
Papaw decided to tough it out with all the women to stay for some food and to play with baby Mackenzie, who also got into the food ;)
The lovely spread!
Malachi and I, after he ate about 15 funfetti cupcakes
We played the classic make-a-dres-out-of-toilet-paper game...Emily's dress looks great!
Sandra Herman made me the cutest corsage out of a sponge, mixing spoons, and a wine opener. She knows me so well! :)

The Herman and Lafone women did such a good job- we had so much fun playing games and eating all of the wonderful food. I cannot wait to be a part of this awesome family!
