gold and white gifts

I love gold and white together. There is something so simple and classy to these two colors. I found the appetizer places on C.Wonder's website and immediately added them to my wishlist. And then I thought it would be fun to find a handful (or two) of gold and white gifts! Here are my picks:

C. Wonder  // appetizer plates

 C. Wonder // tea set

Michael Wainwright // gold vase

DwellStudio // gazelle bookends

 Worlds Away // wastebasket 

Alexa // canister  

Lulu and Georgia // throw pillow

 C. Wonder // votives

Lulu and Georgia // accent table

One Kings Lane // cheers letters

I'll take one of each, please!

confession: i'm a crazy cat lady

This week has just been so BLAH so today calls for a very thoughtless post. I haven't thanked you all who linked up on Tuesday, so THANK YOU! Can't wait to make some of your recipes!

I am so ready for the weekend with NO plans. Well, technically we are invited to a couples baby shower and a wedding shower for my cousin but we just really need a free weekend. The next weekends until September are slammed with weddings, parties, and events. I'm blessed with great friends and family who were totally OK with our decision to opt out of parties this weekend. I'm praying the weather stays nice so we can get some time in on the boat because we won't have time to actually relax on the boat for a while. Two weekends in June we have Beaufort Water Festival which is supposedly just a crazy weekend to drink and have fun.... so I think we just need to chill this weekend.


Thanks for listening to my rambling and please enjoy my weirdness for today.

A picture's worth a thousand words, right?

Three cats. One million pictures. Okay, I'm weird.

Is this normal?

Wedding #3 of 2013

After the race on Saturday, I headed to my parents to go to a family friend's wedding. Catherine and I grew up together and then played sports together in high school. We are still in the same "friend group" today!

Her wedding was beautiful and so much fun!! Sooo much fun.

Bride getting down to Beyonce.

First wedding as husband and wife!

My mom and mother of the bride (they are in bridge club together!)

My cousin-to-be Betsy!

Beautiful bride!

Friends! Anna and Will are getting married in August.

Groomsmen dance off.

Catherine and Brian had a pretty outside wedding and reception and it was just perfect. It was also so good to see our friends that we didn't get to hang out with at our wedding! Everyone had a ball!

Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Burnside! Enjoy Cozumel!

I love weddings. 3 down, 8 to go!

Turkey Time

My hunting fanatic husband killed two turkeys the day after our honeymoon.

Y'all of course know Tyler LOVES to hunt. Like its an obsession. But, if I can shop, he can hunt!!

He wasn't really even planning to "hunt" Saturday afternoon.... he threw on a camo shirt to go move his blind in the woods. Sat for 10 minutes with the computer in hand (he was looking at pics from his game camera) and heard them walk out to the decoy. 

In ONE shot, he killed TWO. No, I'm not making this up. He was so pumped. You use a rifle to shoot turkeys and the little pellets inside the bullet explode (so you have to hit them in the neck- sorry TMI). Luckily they lined up perfectly for one shot!

They are kind of massive.

They made me take a pic.

Mom went along for the ride too.

Sarge wasn't really sure what to do...

Proud hubby.

One had 3 beards and the other has 4. I think that determines how old they are? I'm honestly not sure.

My mom is now worried that we won't come visit them anymore, but he has 3 more tags to fill!

I'd say between the wedding, honeymoon, killing turkeys, and me officially moving in this has been the greatest couple of weeks ever for Tyler!!

I'll be eating wild turkey for the rest of my life.

Last Single Lady Weekend!

I must say that I totally lived up my last weekend as a single lady.

We've had everything planned, so I took off for 5 Points in Columbia with some of my friends. I didn't want to sit at home twiddling my thumbs, so this was the perfect weekend!

Friday night I got to Columbia late so I got to Anna's house and we met Megan and Dan at a bar and had a few drinks. Dan and I had a blast looking at freshman year pictures of the two of us. He has been my buddy for a long time!

I left Tyler at my parents to turkey hunt since the season just opened. He isn't too fond of Columbia and would rather hang out with my dad in the woods than a bunch of crazy drunk people celebrating St. Pattys.

Dan is used to being my stand-in bf.

Hannah and me

Pete is such a ladies man.

Girlfriends- Hannah, Anna, Carly, me, and Megan

Love them!!!

After a fun day, I headed back home to hang out with Tyler. He had been to the river with our friends and was about as tired as I was!

Sunday we did some wedding things and I spent the afternoon by our new pond with Sarge. He is such a big swimmer and loves being at the farm. I pretended like I was already in Jamaica!

Such a happy dog.

Can you see him? He was going after the duck decoys in the pond!

Afternoon joy ride.

All in all, it was a perfect last weekend as Charlotte PERROW! 

Cannot believe I become Tyler's wife in just a few short days!!!!!!!
