Is it Seriously August Already????

i know, i know, i might have fallen off the blog bandwagon for a little while but i promise to do better. so let's catch up, shall we?! april began with pilgrimage ball. my sweet boss, mr. john bean, was the king so i was invited to sit with royalty saturday night and attend a royalty brunch on sunday-both were fabulous!! the rest of april we were crazy busy with work, the loss of my best friend's precious father, easter, and beginning our 3rd wedding anniversary celebration. our actual anniversary was the 26th so jason sent me beautiful pink flowers but the real celebration took place in las vegas the first week of may-omg, i didn't want to come home. during our 4 day trip we saw ka by cirque du soleil, rented a convertible and cruised to the hoover dam, ate lunch in boulder city, partied at the playboy club, drank by the pool at the mgm (where we stayed), bought t-shirts from the pawn stars, picked up a beautiful david yurman ring for yours truly (happy anniversary to me!!), and most importantly-we renewed our vows at the little white chapel!! i couldn't have asked for a better trip or a more wonderful soulmate to spend it with:) we came home to work and weddings, parties, kate's law school graduation!, etc. and memorial day weekend i headed to augusta, ga to see my brother and his super sweet family. it was a very calm, relaxing, trip and just what i needed!
then my summer went to hell in a handbasket. my amazingly sweet papaw passed away on june 3 and took pieces of our hearts with him. my family is crazy close-like we all practically live on top of one another and losing him was like losing my parent. we were all beginning to come out of our depression when my mom almost died on father's day. she was on a ventilator off and on for 6 days and in the hospital a total of 18 days-10 of those in meridian. my days and nights ran together and i spent 10, 12, even 15 hours a day at her side. it was the scariest thing i have ever experienced and i praise GOD that she made it through and that i didn't have a nervous breakdown.
so july brought my mom coming home from the hospital, lots of birthdays, and suzy's couples baby shower at my house. i absolutely adore my friends and their spouses so it was no surprise that we had an amazing time celebrating with suzy and tyler even if the bottom did fall out an hour before the party began!
now it's august and guess what?!!! i saw dolly this past wednesday in alpharetta, ga!!!!!!!!!! i have been looking forward to this concert since march and she didn't disappoint. my mom was strong enough to go with me (thank you God!) and we had a fabulous trip. dolly looked gorgeous and she sang like an angel-i will always love her;)
so that's that-here we are, waiting for suzy to have baby robertson and counting down the days until our beach trip (70). have a fabulous weekend!!!

Bikram Yoga

i love it!!!!! everyone should try it:) bikram yoga is a 90 minute class done in a 100 degree room. sounds miserable, i know and i fought going for a long time but once i tried it i loved it! bliss yoga in downtown columbus offers a "hot" yoga class every saturday from 11-12:30. it's probably not as intense as a bikram class you would do in la or nyc, but for our town it's the only one offered and i think it's pretty fabulous. you can learn more about bikram yoga here: http://www.bikramyoga.com/

happy saturday!!! have a FABULOUS weekend!!!!!!!!
