Super T goes BIG!!!

I love outdoor weddings and have poured over all of Jenna Bush's wedding pictures that have been circulating the Web. This is a personal favorite of mine...














I love her dress, hair, and beautiful sunset! What I love the most, though, is who was playing at her reception:










Super T has made it BIG! I can think of Auburn days, Chi O functions, Fiji and Sigma Chi band parties, and nights at the Supper Club that were centered around this charismatic band! They were always the best, and now they are even performing the First Daughter's Wedding Reception. A friend of some extended family has booked them for her upcoming wedding, and now they are worried that this new heightened fame may take him somewhere else!

Going Green

One of my summer goals, but the question remains, "How does one actually, practically, economically do this? Seriously.

Conscious decisions we are trying to make to help the environment in our own small ways:
*recycling cans and paper
*taking our own grocery bags to the store for small trips
*using safe cleaning products
*driving my fuel efficient Honda Civ forever...

What is the next step?

Food Ideas??? Help!

My sis-in-law had a baby last week, and we're going down to visit this weekend. I'd like to bring her family a meal, and I'm coming up short on ideas. What meals do you like to take to new moms? If you are a mom, what have been some of your favorites?

Any ideas are welcome--I'm wide open to suggestions!!!

We are so excited to announce...

We had our ultrasound on Friday and found out that we are having a girl! We are thrilled and cannot wait to be parents to a precious daughter! Ashley made me this awesome image with our news and her name, and I couldn't just post it here to disappear as more blogs emerge... so it's also on the sidebar for keeps. :)

*

As for her name, Patrick and I love talking about names. We even talked and made lists of potential choices on our honeymoon of all things... We are both rather opiniated {surprise! :)} and Addison is the one that we both actually individually picked out. Camille was my middle name and is a family name on my mom's side. So, we've pretty much had this name picked out forever. However, most of my close friends know that I have commitment and procrastination issues... It's like once I say it, it is real--and that scares me because I want to be so SURE and I want it to be right and perfect... I HATE second-guessing myself, and I have totally been second-guessing myself on this one even though it's the only name I've found that I absolutely LOVE and think "fits" her. Patrick is totally sure, and I think Lindsay will be devestated if we change it--she's already attached. Savannah and Addison--cousins and best friends.

*

We'll call her "Addy," and her initials will share my favorite Basketball conference! :) {I could not find any names that I like that went with the SEC and my Auburn heritage, so I had to be excited about the ACC and my Duke and UNC basketball!} So, it's a done deal... at least for now. :)

*

I'll post one of my ultrasound pictures soon!
