| Bennie loves his Day-da! |
 |
| Abs and Bennie - fun on the farm! |
 |
| Look at that tractor driver! |
 |
 |
| We loved showing Ben the cotton, tractors, and farm. |
 |
| Race back to the barn! |
 |
| oooooo, peanuts! fresh from the Hardy farms wagons! The best! |
 |
| The most beautiful dirt road in the world! I love it here....its so peaceful and beautiful. |
 |
| I see you! |
 |
| Ben "drove" for a few feet |
 |
| And Andrew took Ben on a nature walk around the field - they bonded! |
 |
| When summer gives way to fall, I love the colors that come along too....oranges and salmon pinks, and lovely shades of brown. I just grabbed these bottles at IKEA and a few leaves from the yard for a little color. |
 |
| I'd love to have sunflowers in my house everyday! |
 |
| A bit of fern, berries, and a simple carnation for the guest room. |
 |
| And these hydrangea blooms were too beautiful to pass up when I spotted them in Athens. |
 |
| I am so lucky to have these girls in my life! |
 |
| And this awesome boy too! |
 |
| My sweet Becca made the most wonderful Red Velvet cake for me - my favorite! I was so impressed with her baking skills! |
 |
| Don't be jealous! Yes, it is just as delicious as it looks! |
My 27th birthday has been so nice....it all began last Friday when my beautiful package from Marianne came in the mail. She hand-tied lavender to the CD case, so it was a delight to smell when I opened it! David and I headed to Athens last Friday afternoon to go to the game on Saturday. The Mullers so graciously let us join them for dinner at East West, and even a little bar-hopping post-dining. We really enjoyed being with them. I got to go to the UGA game on Saturday with two of my favorite men....David and Robert! We felt pretty confident that the Dawgs were going to be able to keep Idaho State from winning, so after half-time (and D&R getting their fill of the "fire girl" who performs with the Red Coats) we jetted to Mellow Mushroom for a nice afternoon of draft beer and pizza! Awesome! On Sunday, I had the best company pop in for the night - my sweet Mom and Gongaman! They arrived just in time for dinner on Sunday night. On Monday, we were able to join David for lunch, then Mom and G-man were on their way! I loved having them here even for just a quick trip! My great friends and I decided to head to Market at the W on Monday night for a little girly birthday time. It was so much fun! I hope we'll be able to go back one weekend. Lastly, David and I met Amanda and Ben for dinner last night....it has been the nicest week! I feel like such a lucky little girl!  |
| On Friday, I received this in the mail - my and David's proofs from Marianne! So happy with the way the photos turned out! |
 |
| Friday night with the Mullers and a couple of Stones! |
 |
| Our old stompin' grounds! |
 |
| It was chilly, but we were glad to be in Sanford Stadium cheering on the Bulldogs! |
 |
| They were fun to be with! |
 |
| Look at that cute little guy! The new UGA is adorable! He had full-on paparazzi! |
 |
| Monday night, my fabulous girlfriends celebrated with me at Market at the W hotel in Buckhead. It was so fun to do something so girly! I want to go back here! |
 |
| Last night, we met Amanda and Ben at Texas Roadhouse for a late birthday dinner....Ben and I always pick TR because we love the rolls and that sweet butter....yumm! As you can see, we were being a little silly...must have been all that butter! Or the brownie and whipped cream the waitress brought out. Or the Jelly Beans that we had after that. Either way, being with Ben is always a treat for this birthday girl! |
