Something OLD...

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue… I have the something blue and new. I’m still working on the other two. However, today, Mrs. Robbie gave me the most amazing old thing EVER!!! I would walk down the aisle with it but I’m pretty sure my future hubby would look at me kind of funny!!! Today, while pouring over Pampered Chef decisions, I mentioned that I had an obsession with bread bowls! Yes, I am talking about the very old bowls that our great, great, great grandmothers would have used to make biscuits in. I know, you must be wondering where that obsession comes from and I can’t really give you an answer! My mom has had a bread bowl as long as I can remember. I loved this bowl as a little girl! I always admired it! I have secretly been looking for one on eBay for the past couple of months and shared that secret with my mom about a week ago. While in wedding mode I thought it would be a great addition to my kitchen and pretty much decided I would give myself one. Well, the search is over! Mrs. Robbie came to the rescue today when she heard that I was looking for one! Here is a picture of us and my new/old bread bowl! It was Luke’s great-great-great grandmothers! I could not get to the car fast enough to call him and tell him about my new exquisite bowl!!! I am so excited and I have already been to Birmingham to find the perfect spot! It means so much to me!!! Thank you so much, Mrs. Robbie!!!!

Handyman Shower=Honey-do List

Ok… as most people know I have a terrible time keeping any secret from Luke. It just doesn’t happen! I tell him everything! I can’t help it… So, a couple of weeks ago I got an email from one of Luke’s Co-Workers, Felicia, asking me about giving him a Handyman Shower! I was so excited but to find out it was going to be a “surprise” Shower! Oh no… How am I going to keep this a secret from him!!! I was really worried about myself. However, I did great and Monday I got to go to Luke’s work and surprise him at his Handyman Shower! I was GREAT! I got to meet all of the amazing ladies that work at Alacare! Luke got a TON of manly gifts that were much needed! We really had a blast! Thank you to Felicia and all of the ladies at Alacare! Luke is really going to miss all of you!!! ( I will post pictures of all the showers soon!) And don’t worry… I promise all of the picture hanging supplies will be used! Hanging pictures is number 2 on Luke’s Honey-list! Number 1 is washing my car… which he is doing Friday! He’s great and is already getting the hang of the Honey-do lists! I’m so excited! He is going to be pretty great at the Husband thing! I am patting myself on the back for picking such a GREAT man!!!

Showers Galore

Friday night kicked off our first shower! I was given a Basket Shower by two wonderful ladies, Gay Adams and Angie Camp! Luke and I got a lot of really neat stuff. There was a Baking Basket, Fall Basket, Halloween Basket, Bathroom Basket, Scrapbook Basket, HONEYMOON BASKET , Cleaning Basket, Mexican Basket, and Kitchen Basket just to name a few! The night was full of laughing, great food, and the most amazing Sangrias!!!
Saturday, Luke and I spent the night at The Club in Birmingham! We had an amazing view all night! http://www.theclubinc.org/Club/Scripts/Home/home.asp
Sunday, we were given our Miscellaneous Shower! WOW! It was awesome! Luke and I are so lucky to have such great families and friends! The hostesses really outdid themselves and we are so thankful for their efforts to make this a special time for us!
We would really like to thank everyone for a GREAT weekend! It is a blessing to have so many loving people in our lives!

Thank you!

This post is dedicated to all of those who made moving possible this week and weekend! My mom, David and Wade started helping last Thursday. Brad and Nick on Friday. Then, my mom, David, Jamison, Mrs. Jennifer, Greg, Mrs. Janet, and Wayne on Saturday! We could not have done it without all of you! Thank you so much and we love you all! I promise we will pay you back!
Everyone has been asking so when are you going to start living there… well, Luke will live there before me. He has been given the opportunity to move to the Hoover branch. He hasn’t been told the exact date yet but we do know he will be there soon. I will not officially be living there until we get back from our Honeymoon. (Which I am very excited about!!!)
Our new address is 1606 Morning Sun Circle Birmingham, AL. Feel free to stop by and see our “treehouse”!

"Us"

This is our first picture of us in our new home!

Our New Home

Luke and I have officially started moving into our new condo. We are so excited! However, we won't be living there together until we are married! This morning we came up to start moving things in and stopped by a local furniture store. I found a book shelf that I LOVE!!! My parents bought it for our living room! I am so excited about it. It is from Indonesia! Which I am totally obsessed with since my recent read "Eat, Pray, Love". Luke bought me the pictures that are sitting on it. I am very excited to add our treasures to it!

Soap Box...

Ok. I was in a great mood tonight! Luke had requested that I blog and that just made me so excited! I had planned on blogging about our new condo and moving this weekend. However, when I connected to the Internet, my attention was caught by a headline on msnbc.com, "God did not Create the Universe". When I read this, four words came to mind, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME"!!!! I mean did Earth honesty just appear. I don't think so. I realize the the whole, something can come from nothing blah blah blah... however, I only think that is possible because it is God's will! Therefore, this man is nuts! I sat there and felt sorry for him and his situation and then realized that he probably doesn't pray. Which sadden me for him because his body is dwindling away and he has probably never experienced God's miracles! So, I'm going to leave Mr. Hawking a message tonight! Stop writing nonsense books and read the book that will give you all the answers you are searching for, the BIBLE! I have traveled to Europe several times so I know they have them there. If you can't find one I would be happy to bring you one in March or mail you one if you send me your address! It won't be hard for you to find what you are looking for. If you read the first sentence you will find your answer. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." That is pretty self explanatory to me. I'm sorry you waisted so much time Mr. Hawking, now you can spend the rest of your time on Earth thanking God for all the things he has created for you! Sweet dreams, Mr Hawking... like my mom always said... "Don't forget to say your prayers!"
