Wedding Flowers

Since some people have been asking, I decided to do a post on our wedding flowers. All the flowers were done by the fabulous Mrs. Vicki Walker. I think they turned out wonderful! And I love how she added butterflies to the centerpieces. If you remember, I put up a picture of the inspiration in this post. What do yall think? If you are in the Columbia area and would like to contact the florist just leave your name and email and I'll forward it to her.

I still love looking through all of our wedding pictures...what a wonderful day.

The dawning of the Age of Aquarius

We hung out at Mom and Dad's house for Halloween. It was so much fun! We got to help pass out candy and we had a great Halloween Dinner Menu. We had pumpkin veggie soup, bloody eyeballs (meatballs in marinara sauce), roasted pumpkin seeds, bat wings (chicken wings), and for dessert we had a Vampire's Blood Granita (pomegranite granita with strawberry syrup around the edge of the glass). As you can tell we decided to dress up as hippies this year. We even tye dyed our own t-shirts! Meet Starshine and Rainbow Tree Flower.

Nope, I don't have any change. Take a bath, Get a job!

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween Everyone!! Here are some pictures of this year's Pumpkin Carving ! Jeremy had a HUGE pumpkin so he got to carve two things! The Grim Reaper and a Ghost! BOO! Mine is supposed to be a kitty with bat wings, but it just looks like a demon from hell. Oh well, it's still in the Halloween Spirit. Little Kitten was our supervisor. She was a very good helper.

We hope yall have a wonderful and safe Halloween! Have fun Trick or Treating!

Big News, a Fish Bowl, and Jeremy's Birthday!

Happy 25th Birthday Jeremy! Jeremy's parents came over with Halloween goodies, a really cute fish bowl cake and Paella! Oh my goodness, the paella was wonderful! I've never had it before and now it is definitely one of my favorite dishes. Papa Fudge made it with sausage, ham, clams, mussels, shrimp, artichoke hearts, and big black olives. Heaven!!!! (see picture below!)

And the Big News: Jeremy passed the SC Bar Exam! YAYAYAYAYAY!! I am so proud of him! I knew he would pass on his first try! He was so nervous that I had to go to my parent's house while he was waiting to find out if his name was on the "passed" list. He was so funny when he called to let me know too. He was like (all bummed out voice) " well, I dunno, you're just going to have to put Esquire at the end of my name". When he said that I screamed and started doing my happy dance! I am so proud of my husband!!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins! Yummy!!!

Okay, so the other day while I was in Blogland I came across this Awesome recipe from Nest of Posies. The muffins turned out Amazing! Just the right amount of pumpkin and chocolate. And so easy to make! I found that this recipe only makes about 17 muffins, so next time I might double it. It was even Jeremy Fudge approved and he doesn't even like pumpkin!

This is a very yummy Fall treat. I bet it wouold be great with a Pumpkin Spice Latte too!

Yall Enjoy!
