The Best God Father Ever!
Emily's dress was a family heirloom and was worn by Katherine's great grandmother (I believe). I know it goes way back in the family and was a beautiful dress. Sunday was a great event and Bobby and I look forward to many other happy events with little Em.

A Lot To Be Thankful For
The traditional Family picture at Grandma Wells' House. Its a blended family but we love it. After lunch at grandma's we went to Bobby's parents' house and spent the evening with them. Hope and I had fun with the camera...

Bachelorette Fun!
Gotta love that my mom and dad were there, but only for the set up. My family is so close, but this is funny!
I think this must be after opening a "gift." My girlfriends know me well... This final one is the group before dinner. Couldn't have had a better time, these girls ROCK!!

Birthdays & Engagements
Saturday we celebrated Bobby's niece's, 4th birthday. Hope is the apple of everyone's eye and has gotten to that age where a birthday with friends is what she wants. It used to just be family, but now she wants gifts and entertainment. I can't say I blame her! The party was held at a local party place, Miss.La La's Tree House and they provided toys to play with, crafts, music time and a place to open gifts. I don't remember doing anything that big when I was 4 but then again I don't remember being 4. I'm sure we'll spoil our kids as well.
Sunday was my best friend Audrey's Birthday! Audrey turned the big 29 this year and I think we all agree that 29 & holding is a great age. Audrey is one of the sweetest people I know and one of those friends who is always thinking about you and others. She leaves me some of the best messages and even when she has a bad day she is the first to try and cheer someone else up. So we celebrated at her favorite Mexican place, La Parilla! I happen to love it too and who doesn't. The mariachi band was in full force Sunday night and was nice enough to sing the English and Spanish version of Happy Birthday, or shall I say Feliz Cumplianos.
While us common people celebrate birthdays at local Mexican Restaurants, celebrities do it up a little bigger. There were a few engagements this past week and since I'm in the wedding mood I thought I would highlight those. Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo got engaged and a few days later so did Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson... coincidence, maybe! But the biggest engagement news is Kate Middleton and Prince William. They are so cute together and look very happy. And Kate got an amazing engagement ring, it was Princess Diana's. It was about time for these two, but I can see how being a prince is a bit much to handel and how she might be a little apprehensive. But, she's set to be the Queen! I think we'll see a lot of coverage of this in the coming months and I wish them years of happiness and privacy (well at least one of those can come true). As for Jessica and Nick, I am going to take bets that Nick & Vanessa make it but that Jessica is either prego or they are divorced in 2 years. Just my thoughts.
What a ring, what girl could say NO to that. Bobby did well... but this is amazing. Oh and we have 59 days until our I Do's.

If only I could keep them
Weekend Wedding Project
The process of getting the labels off and the bottles ready for new labels was a little more difficult than I thought. I soaked the first set of bottles in hot hot water in our sink and then pealed them off piece by piece. This seemed to work for about 1/2 the bottles, the other 1/2 were a little more difficult and I had to scratch the glue off. Bobby helped a little as well, but wasn't as in to it as I was. I think he removed a few labels but wasn't thrilled with all the glue still on the bottles when he was done. I printed the labels on our printer from a site where I downloaded the template. It was really easy and I think they turned out nicely. I have about 15 more to do, but this is a start! One project 1/2 way done is better than no projects started.

Halloween In Florida
But, the long 10 hour drive was well worth it. We dressed up as "Georgians" and stopped along the way to pick up local pecans, peanuts, a small bail of Cotton and lots of Georgia Moonshine. It was a hit and so was my Southern Soldier. Bobby even wore an authentic sword all night. Well... almost all night. There came a point when he was unable to stand up strait and hold the sword so I had to put it away, but he had a good time speaking in his southern accent and helping me go to the bathroom with that big hoop skirt. Best Halloween we've had since we've been together, but Bobby was sad to miss Fox-o-ween this year! Hope everyone had a great Halloween!
