I can't believe how fast a week can actually fly by....it was just a weekend ago that I was enjoying myself in Florida and now it's already the end of another weekend. This past week was insanely busy getting everything ready for the families return and also planning and executing a birthday dinner for my bosses husband. Whew...another successful event planned and over. AND I am already in the midst of planning multiple holiday events. Tis' the season...
In the meantime I am looking forward to traveling to Indiana for the Thanksgiving break. Amy is driving up from FL on Tuesday after her class lets out and then she'll stay with me in Nashville Tuesday night...then we head to IN on Wednesday morning. Thankfully, I get "time off" staring Wednesday through Sunday...a much needed break! I can't wait to see all my family and to just enjoy some downtime!

Weekend Getaway...
Well my weekend getaway was wonderful...it's just hard to be back in Nashville where it's cold outside and the piles of work are shouting my name. It was a great time and I've posted some pics below.
I love this picture of the beach...I could stay there all day.
My friend Amy took this picture...love it
Amy chasing a seagull...we don't call her "Crazy" for nothing
We spent Saturday morning at the beach in Destin, FL and of course I had to take Amy to the infamous Donut Hole. They have the best breakfast and donuts...ever! We couldn't play long in Destin because the whole purpose of this weekend trip besides seeing my sister and other friends was to attend the wedding of Charity and Peter. My sister Amy was the Maid of Honor and was a beautiful attendant.
I have the most beautiful sister
After the wedding and reception and cleanup, a small group of us ate dinner at the Chilli's and then myself, Crazy Amy and Alabama Jen had dessert at Roberts....good times! Sunday morning came awful early and we went to church with Amy and then drove to Pensacola Beach to eat lunch at Peg Leg Pete's. I had to take Crazy Amy there since it's all things pirate and she believes herself to be a pirate :) After lunch we got our car loaded up to head back to Nashville but had to make a quick stop to see Erin's puppy Chloe...or as I like to call her Chloe-monster (like cookie monster but instead of cookies she eats socks). She is the cutest puppy ever and I love this picture of her and Amy.
Needless to say that a road trip wouldnt be a road trip without crazy antics and laughable memories...especially when you've had little sleep before driving. We had to stop to get something to eat on the way home and randomly Crazy Amy had a vision at Arbys and I couldn't resist capturing the moment.
Crazy Amy grew a handlebar mustache on the way home.

Friday Travels
Well it's just barely Friday but it's very exciting to have another weekend here. And this weekend I am taking a road trip. It's a road trip with multiple purposes...I am driving to FL with my friend Crazy Amy, we are spending the weekend with my sister Amy, we are attending my friend Charity and Peter's wedding all the while seeing other friends like Alabama Jen and Robert. And the multi-tasking, organized person that I am, has a plan. A plan that will allow us to spend time with everyone mentioned above, attend the wedding, eat at my favorite breakfast place in Destin and two trips to the beach (fingers crossed). Whew...I think I'm already exhausted from my weekend!

Cloudy and Cold
That pretty much describes what it looks like outside today and dare I say "Brrrr"? That wind makes it feel a tad bit chilly....I mean it is only about 45 degrees outside. I so could have enjoyed a day spent sleeping in but that's not the case...church calls.
After church, a small group of us went to eat at Nachos, aka cheap mexican. During lunch conversation, my friend Tim and I realized we both had to make returns at the mall so we actually met there and did a little shopping...more like window shopping. I am not use to having a guy to shop with but it was kinda fun. I have to say though that I didn't realize that a boy could be as picky as a girl when it came to finding a pair of jeans. It kinda makes me giggle thinking about it. Of course, as we were walking out to leave we did get sucked to the big screen TV area to watch the last 4 minutes of the Tennessee Titans vs. Chicago Bears football game. If you haven't heard, the Titans are the only NFL team that is currently undefeated and are sitting with a record of 9-0. Tennessee is crazy about their football anyways so the talk about town keeps increasing when it comes to this team.
I enjoyed the rest of the afternoon catching up with my family via phone and then spent a relaxing evening hanging out with my friend Crazy Amy...who now has the nickname of Crazy Noodle. I started calling her Amy-doodle after our weekend trip to GA but my niece Elaysha brought to my attention that she along with her mom and my parents call Aunt Amy, Amy-doodle so I couldn't call Crazy Amy the same thing. When I asked her if she had any ideas...she said to call her Crazy Noodle (don't you love how the mind of a 7 year old works) so Crazy Amy is now Crazy Noodle :)

Sunny Saturday
Well it was nice to start off today with sunshine although it ended up being cloudy and much colder outside. Since I was in bed so early the night before I was up and at 'em around 7am but I somehow managed to enjoy another hour lazily relaxed in bed before I actually got up. So nice to not have to wake up and immediately begin the day.
I ventured out around 10 and made a run to the grocery store to buy the stuff to make an appetizer and a dessert for the Progressive dinner. Then I stopped by the post office and The Home Depot to pick out some pansies to pot once I removed the dying mum. I did some laundry, "gardening"...if you can even call it that, wrapped a wedding gift for this coming weekends trip to FL and switched out some clothes at my house. It was a very productive afternoon and before you know it, it was time to get cleaned up and go the dinner.
I can't recall who got me so tickled but obviously it was pretty funny.
Bri, Me and Crazy Amy
I have to share this...because I think it to be pretty cool. My friends Robert and Melissa have a photography company called Eppic Moments and a couple weeks ago they actually did the wedding photography for Olympic Medalist Picabo Street. So in the current issue of People Magazine (the edition with Barack Obama on the cover), two of their photo's were published for the wedding article. It's not every day you can say you know a photographer that has pictures in People.

We started at Jame's house for appetizers and then ventured to Amy's house for dinner and then to Bri's house for dessert. We spent about an hour at each spot and had about 18 people come out so it was a good crowd. We started at 6'ish and about 9 of us lasted till about 11pm but with church the next morning it wasn't to terribly late. Here are a couple pics from Bri's place:
