that I love you

{April 24, 2012}

that I love you

Have I told you lately that I love you?

Have I told you there's no one else above you?

Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness,

Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

For the morning sun in all it's glory,

Greets the day with hope and comfort too

You fill my life with laughter and somehow you make it better,

Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

There's a love that's divine

And it's yours and it's mine like the sun

And at the end of the day

We should give thanks and pray

To the one, to the one

Have I told you lately that I love you

Have I told you there's no one else above you

Fill  my heart with gladness

Take away all my sadness

Ease my troubles, that's what you do

There's a love that's divine

And it's yours and it's mine like the sun

At the end of the day

We should give thanks and pray

To the one, to the one

Have I told you lately that I love you

Have I told you there's no one else above you

You fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness

Ease my troubles, that's what you do

Thank you Heidi for wonderful pictures that we will cherish forever

InstaEasterWeekend

hey world! Happy Easter- He is RISEN! 


{now we can wear white and seersucker}


We didn't have any showers or parties but somehow this weekend actually felt busier than any other. 


InstaWeekend! 
{p.s. Instagram was just acquired by Facebook...but did you care?}

Attempted to play catch-up with my stack of April magazines

{Country Living Magazine}

Had a lovely massage and manicure at Natural Body spa in Brookhaven. Where I was introduced to WORLD'S BEST HOT TEA! It is Gold Kili Ginger tea and it will change your life. I immediately bought a package, but it won't last long- such the perfect blend of hot, spicy, savory, calming, sweet, healthy, ahhh yummmmmness.

{buy some on Amazon here}

We had our engagement pictures!!! As Dad would say, we went as State Patrol Officers :) 

Our photographer is just wonderful and I am beyond happy with my decision to use Heidi of Our Labor of Love. Check out her blog and I will share the pics with you when they are ready! 

We were so fortunate to have a free Saturday night together- we spent it at the Buckhead Church Easter service {amaaazing- He is risen!}

And eating beautiful and tasty Italian food at Tartufo Pizzeria {check your ScoutMob!}. 

We ate outside on their parking lot patio and enjoyed super fresh, authentic food while the sun set. 

Above is their caprese salad- red and yellow heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, grated basil and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. 

Spent Sunday on a grandparent marathon

:) I wish I could see him every day

I hope this portrait is willed to me

let's enjoy this one!

the parties begin

the parties begin

another installment of my instagram weekend. 


it was a busy one! goodwill hunting, yummy dinners, diy projects, engagement party, baby shower and more. 
{more pictures of the party and shower to come later}

The weekend started at There. A new "gastropub" in the super Hopes & Dreams land of Town Brookhaven. Each table had a lovely little sprig of rosemary and thyme that smelled divine. 

The menu is a short one but full of fresh, local ingredients and fun food pairings. Like the devil above: Smoked Trout Deviled Eggs with Duck Prosciutto and Pickled Shallots. 

I failed to take a picture of my dinner {thanks google images for this one} but I had the "There Burger" ...a classic burger made with.... grass-fed beef and homemade pickles. You are what you eat, if I am going to be a cow- I want to be an #EatClean cow. :) 

My wonderful friends Sara, Emily and Kim hosted Josh & I's first party as a couple! Our Engagement Party! We had such a blast and it was beyond amazing having all of our closest friends together for a night. The girls {and Mom!!!} did such an amazing job with the party- everything was so perfect and we enjoyed our time so so so so so very much. 

Mom's house was perfectly pinterested- bunting, food labels, tissue pom poms, tablescapes in our colors, scrumptious snacks and sweets and fabulous sangria! 

On our way to the party! 

Lovely AmericasMart besties! 

Sadly this is the only picture I took all night :( Luckily many "real cameras" were snapping throughout the party- so real pictures will surface soon. 

Sunday afternoon the Ya-Ya's {Mom's group of best friends} hosted a baby shower for the lovely Brooke. The newest {and first!} petite petite ya-ya in the group.  

Second generation Ya-Ya's 

Mom made lovely pink gluten-free cupcakes- amazing! 

The precious family and star of the shower: Miss Brooke Richards and her parents Eddie and Bria. Such a wonderful little family- I loved getting to spend time with them! 

This weekend was just so amazing. After looking at our calendar- it seems this is the type of life we will be leading this Spring and Summer. It is so wonderful seeing great friends and family and celebrating engagements, weddings, babies, etc. 

Grown up life is turning out to be quite fun and exciting! If only some of those boring responsibilities would go away....
