sherri over at

little house in paradise

the pages inside did not disappoint

"thank you"

to

sherri

for her thoughtfulness

~*~

The end of a busy week~

It's been a bit hectic this past week

my friends Ann & Shane

have a son

~Josh~

their only son

Josh & Sarah were married this past Saturday

Ann & Shane planned for the most beautiful rehearsal dinner

to be held at their home 

I was lucky to spend a few days with Ann

helping her with party prep for Josh & Sarah's rehearsal dinner

Anyone who knows Ann

 (and I'm lucky to be one of those people)

knows if she is planning a party

it will be spectacular

in every way!

She truely missed her calling as a event planner

not only did she & her hubs shane prepare

most all of the food

they

decorated

&

did all the floral arrangements

for the rehearsal dinner & the wedding

everyone that was a part of

this event

was in for a treat

as a thank you for helping ann with the party prep

she gifted to me the most beautiful flower arrangement

in a beautiful silver pitcher

what do you think Kathy?

be silly sweet to me

i'll consider letting

you borrow it

:: this moment ::

summer slips into fall~

as summer fades away and fall becomes more obvious

i have this urge to hang on to summer a little bit longer

not wanting to let go

i find myself going back to look

just one more time

at my beach filled days of summer

:: this moment ::

:: love ::

Jackson it is!

congratulations Abbey & Adam!!!!!!!!
