A {Love}ly week

This past week was so fun! 

It began with Monday in my grandmother's kitchen with my Mom, aunt Jill, and Abbye making fudge. I had been home for a long weekend and got to be the preggie taste tester! :) Every bite was divine! And I was already anticipating my Valentine's package in the mail once the fudge had set. 

Prior to Valentine's Day, David and I had been enjoying a coffee pie (top) and amazing strawberry cream cheese pie tarts (bottom) from my friend Amanda at Buttermilk Pie Company. She makes wonderful pies, and is so stinkin' sweet! She's got a great list of pies she makes, so contact her for her menu. They make fantastic gifts too!

Last week, I found this pic of me and my Valentine from 11 years ago and wanted to share...time flies when you're in love and having fun! 

On Wednesday, David surprised me with a gorgeous pink hydrangea and roses - we decided to go out the night before Vday and he had made a reservation at Antebellum - a new restaurant in Flowery Branch. It was wonderful! There was live music and a fantastic menu - we can't wait to go back. 

Our vday fudge arrived in time for an early treat too! 

We had planned to stay at home for the weekend, and I thought a post-Valentine's dinner party with friends was in order! Will have more pics of the pretty table up on my other blog later today. 

On Friday night, Brince and Laura Lyn came into town. We enjoyed a late dinner and catching up with them over pizza at Little Italy! 

David recently bought an assault rifle a very intense pellet gun to help with our squirrel and crow issue. A little Saturday morning target practice was in order before the boys left LL and I to shoot skeet. Us gals had a fun morning of shopping around Gainesville! 

Later in the afternoon, the Hills and Smithsons joined us! I had these furs in my cedar closet - and we couldn't resist a fun picture of the ladies all bundled up! 

And for dinner, our friends Caroline and Zach along with Callie and Brian joined us too! It was a nice night laughing and catching up with friends. I had asked the girls to bring their wedding pictures which was so fun! While the boys were playing corn hole, we had so much fun looking at each other's wedding albums, engagement pics, and wedding videos!

Hope you all had a fantastic Valentine's Day and weekend!
