Catch Up Pictures

See! They do get along!

Day Trip to Aiken, SC

We met some nice ole biddies

1980s Superhero Hair

Zoolander!

Don't you love the beard? I didn't think I would like it at first but now I think it's so cute! It looks really good on him too, makes him look a lot older.

Christmas at Biltmore

This weekend we went to Biltmore in Asheville, NC to go to their candlelight tour. It was so pretty! I LOVED all the Christmas trees. It makes me want to put up all of my decorations now. I got so many good ideas. This theme for Christmas at Biltmore this year was : the decorators would pick a painting in each room and then decorate the Christmas tree based on that painting. For example: in one room there is an awesome painting of a ship so the Christmas tree had a nautical theme. It was so awesome.

Here we are at dinner.

We had dinner at the Biltmore Inn Dining Room. I had the Frisée & Endive Salad with local goat cheese, toasted walnuts, poached apple, blush vinaigrette; Sunburst Farms Trout with blue grits, crawfish, Tasso gravy, crisp okra; and Sweet Potato Crème Brulée with Candied Bacon, Toasted Marshmallow Ice Cream and Biscotti. Jeremy had the same entree but had Pan Roasted Crab Cake with saffron couscous and cioppino broth as an appetizer and he had Caramelized White Chocolate Pâté with peppermint caramel, macadamia nougatine and bittersweet chocolate ice cream for dessert. It was all amazing.

This was the only Christmas tree we could take a picture of. Unfortunately no photography in the house.

Yay Christmas Elves!

We also want to congratulate our good friends Amy and Di  and 

wish them a happy wonderful marriage!

Jekyll Island Pt. 4

Saturday night Jeremy took me out to dinner at the Jekyll Island Club Grand Dining Room. It was so romantic and perfect.

We love being silly

Jeremy was trying so hard not to laugh. Of course our serious picture came out blurry. haha

For dinner Jeremy had sea scallops with corn relish and chili sauce, seared duck breast with a cherry sauce and rice pilaf, and for dessert he had key lime pie. I had crab cakes with orange marmalade, filet mignon with boursin cheese and caramelized onions with pommes william (a fried mashed potato shaped like a pear), and this adorable turtle chocolate mousse.

how cute is that?? It's a turtle coming out of the water onto the beach and it even has little eggs! It was hard to eat but it was very yummy.

On Sunday Jeremy took me to the Georgia Turtle Center. We got to learn about a turtle's life cycle and then we got to visit some of the sick turtles in the turtle hospital. I love turtles so this was very cool!

After visiting the turtles we drove out to the beach one last time.

This trip was so wonderful! Jeremy did such a great job. This was such a great surprise! I Love You Jeremy! I Love being your wife!!!

Jekyll Island Pt. 3

Saturday afternoon we went to Driftwood Beach.This beach is created from erosion. The ocean is taking sand off the north beach and depositing it on the south end of the island thus killing the trees. It was very surreal and beautiful.
