Dailey Wedding

A few weekends ago we celebrated the wedding of our friends Lauren and Josh on the Savannah River.  Lauren and Gaines went to high school together, and I have absolutely loved getting to know her and her sweet (and super tall!) husband the last few years.  The setting for their wedding was beautiful, and Lauren did an amazing job with all of the small details.  

It did end up being an unexpectedly freezing cold night, but we still had a great time celebrating Mr. and Mrs. Dailey! We love you both! 

UGA vs. UT

The last weekend in September Gaines and I headed to Athens for the UGA/Tennessee game. We found parking near the Holiday Inn and walked over to our friend Bo's tailgate.  As soon as we walked up he told me he had a little surprise...Josh and Andi were on their way [insert heart pounding and shrieking here].  Andi is from Atlanta and was last season's Bachelorette.  I don't normally watch that show, but I cheated the first episode and saw she ended up picking Josh, who played football at UGA and is brother to our old quarterback Aaron.  Anyways, Josh has a friend who tailgates with Bo every game, so they parked at the tailgate and we got to meet them.  I don't think I stopped drooling for about ten minutes after. ;)  

We bought tickets on our way into the stadium and ended up scoring seats in 328, which was nice and shaded!  

During the fourth quarter I met up with my college best friends Linds and Steph for appetizers at East West.  Our husbands met up with us after the game for dinner, and it was so good to see them for a few hours and catch up.

Linds and I are due two weeks apart (eeekk!!!!!), so we obviously had to stop for some Ben and Jerry's before heading home. ;) 

And on our way to the car Gaines and I made a pit stop on North Campus to ring the bell (which I surprisingly haven't done since freshman year!) and walk by the fountain.  

 

It was a such a fun weekend!  And how 'bout them Dawgs?!

Five on Friday

[one]

Labor Day weekend was one of those weekends I want to bottle up and relive over and over.  It was fun, but still relaxing and I loved that we got to spend time watching football and hanging out with our friends. On Saturday we headed over to Drew and Kristina's for the UGA/Clemson game (how amazing was that win??!) and then we took the boat to the Savannah River after church on Sunday with Jason, Caroline...and our little babies-on-the-way. ;)

We had a "Truth Be Told" paint party at our small group meeting a few weeks ago.  We all picked different colors and bible verses, and I thought everyone's canvas turned out so well! 

[three]

A few weeks ago we went to Celebrity Waiter, which is a fun event our Downtown Organization puts on each year.  We went with a bunch of our friends and our tickets included dinner, dessert, free drinks, and a live band.  What a fun night!

A few weekends ago we headed to the Coast with Gaines' parents and Amy for a relaxing weekend on the water.  Amy recently adopted a puppy named Sophie, so we had SO much fun playing with her.  We went to the beach both days and cheered on our Bulldogs (who heartbreakingly lost to stupid USC...) on Saturday night.  The weather was so nice, and it was great to be on the water all weekend!

Cheerleading has sort of taken over my life lately, but I could not be more proud of my girls and their hard work.  Their stunting has come so far from last year (one of our groups has mastered an extension!), and they did such a great job cheering, stunting, and dancing at our first Pep Rally on Wednesday.  

P.S. I am 17 weeks and the babe is growing and doing great!  We go back in a few weeks to finally find out the gender.  Eeeeek!!! 

Happy Friday. :)

Albrecht Wedding

A few weeks ago Sarah and Patrick got married at Ocean Isle Beach in North Carolina.  They have been dating since our junior year of high school, which was over twelve years ago!!  We ended up renting a beach house for the weekend and it would definitely be a place I would love to go back and visit.  On Friday night we headed to Poagie's Bar and Grille to met up with the bridal party, and I loved how it ended up being a mini-Godwin High School reunion. 

On Saturday morning Allison and baby Palmer came over to visit.  It was the first time I had met him and oh my goodness, what a cutie!  He was so sweet and didn't seem to mind one bit that six girls were constantly gushing over him.  And then even though the weather wasn't great, we ended up heading to the beach for a few hours.  The guys played Beersby while the girls just sat and chatted... shocking, I know. ;)  And when we got back to the house to get ready Adrian surprised the September birthdays while a sweet cake.   

The wedding was so beautiful and was held right on the beach.  Sarah looked absolutely amazing (in her mom's veil!) and Pat was so sweet when he first saw her.  The reception followed at The Isles restaurant, which had a great outdoor bar and a big room for dancing.  As always, we spent the night catching up, eating, and dancing, and I was SO sad when it finally ended.   

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Albrecht!! It's about time. ;)
