Family Pics

A few weeks ago, while my in-laws were visiting, I had Heidi Migalla, a local Gainesville photographer come to the house to take a few family photos. I think there are some really great ones here, and wanted to share a few of my favorites!

Books

Is it really October already?

Jeez, this year is flying by!

I really feel like we just moved in to our new house, but we've been here for over 3 months now! What a fun summer we had!

I wanted to share a few books I've read lately...I'm always listening out for something new to delve in to.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...like the rest of the female population of the world, I read all the "Fifty Shades" books back at the beginning of summer. And just like that *poof*, Christian Grey was gone. It sure was fun while it lasted though! ;)

Southern Charm by Tinsley Mortimer

**Anyone remember Tinsley from the short-lived reality show she did? She's an NYC socialite and really knows the ins and outs of how the upper class both works and plays.**

I read this fluffy chick book in about 3 days...it's so cute, and a total escape.

The main character, Minty, is so fun!

The Innocents by Francesca Segal

This one is more of a drama, and not so fluffy. I loved it though! Most of us can relate to the beautifully complicated relationships of large families....it was super.

This was a People Magazine recommendation that duly impressed me.

Lies that Chelsea Handler Told Me by her victims

Now, back to more mindless fluff. Chelsea Handler is a hoot and I enjoyed all of her other filthy, mischievous books. This one is pretty funny too.

What have you read lately that you'd recommend?

Has it been 10 years?

Over the weekend, I attended my 10 year high school reunion!

I graduated from The Westfield Schools in Perry, GA in May of 2002. I really can't believe that it's been a decade since we graduated!

I am lucky that I still have so many awesome high school friends. We do a good job of keeping in touch, but there were many who I haven't seen in a while and was looking forward to catching up with!

Westfield makes a big deal out of alumni weekend!

Here's the flier that went out a few weeks ago!

Friday night was the alumni BBQ and football game.

Here's two of my high school BFFs - Amy and Christen.

Love these two!

And here's my brother Brince and sister Abbye - both WHS alums too. Next year, Asa will join us under the alumni tent! But on that night, he was playing football. It was his first night back since getting the concussion, and he played really well, even scoring a touch down in the beginning of the game!

Our cousin Claire is also a senior, and was representing the football team as Football Sponsor on the homecoming court. Here's my Dad, me, and sister Abbye with her.

My Mom couldn't be at the game, but Abbye and I were reppin' the mom pins with Asa's pic on them! :)

That's Asa, #4 in the game!

And here's Asa after the game with my Dad...we won 38-0!

And here's the whole crew!

After the game, most of us headed to Christen's parent's house to watch our old home videos from high school! So funny!!!!!

This is the Paperless Post I sent out as the invite - that's my whole senior class in the picture - all 33 of us!

On Saturday morning, Amy and I hosted a brunch for the moms and daughters of our class. A few weeks ago, when she was visiting me, we got some things done for the reunion decor - including spray painting a bunch of frames in our school colors (green, gold, and white) to display old pictures.

In the meantime, I had also been stock piling green and gold paper goods to use for the weekend.

We made some paper pin wheels and a bunch of pom poms too!

I used Paperless Post to send out all of the invitations - they're super cute and it saved maja bucks!

Here are detail shots from our mother's brunch at Amy's.

These are some of the cute girls from my senior class.

Linsey, Anne, Summer, Me, Ashley, Christen, and Amy

Later on Saturday night was our cabin party.

Amy and I made these fun info fliers to hang around....they had our senior pictures and current pictures too! It's so fun to see how people have/have not changed!
