FootBall and Wedding Shower....busy!

This past weekend went off with out a hitch! It was a great weekend and I had so much fun! I stayed up late Friday night working on the party favors and watched the lifetime movie about CoCo Chanel! It was a great movie and I hope I catch it again! She is a fabulous woman! Who doesn't love her bags or sunglasses??? Saturday, Mom and I got an early start to Athens before all the traffic hit. We had a hearty meal at an old southern favorite... The awful waffle. IT WAS SO GOOD!!!!!Once we found our parking spot, (which I thought I was going to scream....Google maps suck) we got to our seat and enjoyed the game! It was a great game. Once we would get settled into our seat, they would make an awesome play or something and we were right back on our feet! Here is Mom and I during a T.V. timeout:

Here is a shot of the dawgs playing some defense!

After the game, Mom and I did some shopping in Athens for awhile and when we finally got home it was 10:00 and I still had to carve those pumpkins and make the flower arrangements! I was majorly stressing about the flowers, but I think they turned out great after some nursing....Who knew that sunflowers need sunlight? Gosh, STUPID! Ok, I knew that, but the flower guy at Whole Foods said to keep them in water and in a fridge....so I did. Well they didn't like that!

Luckily, I had made the Bride and Groom pumpkins earlier in the week, but I was down the wire with decorations... I had been on a man hunt for old pictures of Katie and I from our whole lives and I came up with some pretty good ones. I was actually able to find a picture from my 1st. Birthday party where Katie and I are both sitting in our highchairs. Priceless.
Since the shower was a mother/daughter shower, we invited friends from high school and college to attend. We also asked the girls to mail old pics. from back in the day so that we could display them around and we also made Katie a memory book as our shower gift. Katie's grandmother had found a great picture of Katie from way back when, of her dressed up in a wedding dress, veil, and white pumps.....so appropriate!!! It made for a great laugh!!

Here is Katie and I at the shower. It was an honor to be throwing her this shower. She is my lifelong friend and I am so happy for her.
It turned out to be a beautiful day, but there was a bite in the air that day, so we had the patio blocked off and the heaters on! It was perfect though! As we all know I love high heels and it's a rare occasion to have Katie in heels too, so we took a picture to commemorate the event! It was so good to see old friends and catch up with each other over a good meal! You know girl talk, it ranges from kids, to jobs, to shopping, and our love lives. There were plenty of laughs to go around. Here are a few more pics from the day:

Our Place Setting....it totally tied together our fall theme

Here is Katie, Amy and Myself

Here is the memory table with the cake as well! If you look at the round picture to the right of the cake with the pink and blue writing....yep that is Katie and I way back in elementary school..ha!


I had a great weekend and I got to finish it off by spending it with Kali and Whitney. We finished the first season of the Tudors. SAD, We love that show. We also watched Step Up 2.....McCall, I loved it!!! How was every one's weekend?? Busy weeks going on???
