Playing catch up!



I'd like to say time flies when you are having fun. . . but in our case, time flies when you are busy!  It also allows for a lot of time to pass between blog posts (oops)!  So much time that summer turns into fall.  

All I have been hearing around town and seeing on Facebook is the following: "Fall has begun!  The pumpkin latte at Starbucks is back!". . . yuck.  Sorry folks, pumpkin latte does not sound appetizing to me. Not sure if they make a peppermint latte for Christmas, but I am pretty sure I will hear about it as soon as Thanksgiving is over. Alright. . back to the point of the fall season.  Being that Saturday, September 22, was the official start to fall, I was finally able to display our fall wreath that I made earlier in the summer.  It was my kick off to the fall season plus chili and open windows.

And we will be buying one of these bad boys as soon as October 1 arrives. . .or maybe the weekend before!  This year I am going to attempt to paint pumpkins rather than carving them.  More on that later!

Our first fall weekend of the year was also fabulous because it was my best friend's bachelorette partaaaaaay!  The future Mrs. Kayla Kennedy gets married in just 11 days. . . October 6, 2012!  She was my beautiful Maid of Honor in our May 5 wedding.



Not only is Kayla my go to person when I have a medical / sick / what did I do to myself kind of question. . .but Kayla is also my go to gal when I want a new wine to try.   With that said, it only felt appropriate to dress up a bottle of wine for her bachelorette night!

We then got the night started by taking the BEST cab ever. . .The Karaoke Kab! 

Photo: This is a first!

It was not on my bucket list of things to do/experience. . but by the time we reached the restaurant, it was added and checked off my bucket list and a must do in Nashville if you haven't!  Myrtle Beach. . you need to introduce this to the Grand Strand and let me tell you why:

The decor spoke for itself!  From the strobe lights giving you star status as soon as you step in the cab, to the cds covering every inch (which we could even sign), to the two screens on the back of the front seats giving you the words to the songs, AND the microphones that allowed you to sing along. Plus the fact that at every red light it was pretty hilarious seeing the reaction of people walking and driving by.



As for the rest of the night. . it was a night to add to the memory book!  We experienced several places in Mid-town of Nashville.  I really do need to get better at taking pictures. . .and posting on our blog! ;)

Until next time. . .
