10 Weeks and New Look!

Woo hoo!!! 10 weeks left! How exciting is that! Exactly 70 days until the wedding!
We are so excited! We are getting closer and closer to being Mr. and Mrs!

We have a shower this Sunday with Mrs. Hilborn's co-workers! Its being called a "Teacher Shower." How much fun is that! I can't wait to see teachers that Aaron and I had when we were in school at Benton!

Also...I realize that the blog has a new look. Don't you love it!?! I was really wanting to show off some wedding colors, but then I found this ADORABLE background and couldn't say no! Visit the Shabby Blogs site and have a look at all of the fabulously FREE backgrounds! I know you'll love them! It was so hard to choose! Happy weekend!

Last Sharon Shower Thank You's: All Things Razorback!

At the Sharon Shower Aaron and I got some really neat Razorback stuff! We love ALL things Razorback. Each of these items are so adorable!

Thank you to the following people for some of Aaron's favorite gifts! (You have to admit its kind of hard for a guy to get super pumped about a china place setting! These are more up his alley!): Jeremiah and Lindsey; Aunt Christine and Missy; Ms. Birdie; Kent and Debbie; Karla; Ms. Gail and Samantha; Ms. Ruby and April; Jeff and Melinda. Thank you so much!

The following people gave us some very thoughtful gifts that were not pictured most likely due to space! (or in addition to a gift that was previously pictured): Ms. Pat and Julie; Mrs. Susie; Ms. Bernice; Mr. Ken and Mrs. Sue; Jeremiah and Lindsey; Jerri and Cliff; Uncle Ralph and Aunt Sherri; Ms. Janice; Ms. Vickie and Nikki; Missy. We definitely don't won't to leave you out because we appreciate you so much more than you know!

So...one more final time...A BIG thank you to all of you who were so thoughtful and generous. Thank you for thinking of us at this special time! May God bless each of you!

Thank You Tuesday: More Sharon Shower!

Yes its Tuesday and yes there are still some Thank You's left! The gifts I'm going to show you today are things that will get LOTS of use in the kitchen...from Aaron :-) Only kidding! You all know I loooooove the idea of just cooking away! So lets get started (remember, no last names):

Bakeware!We love the Wilton Indulgence bakeware because it doesn't have rough/sharp edges or corners. Thank you so much to the following sweet people: THE Aunts & Uncles; Mr. and Mrs. Trish; Ms. Pam and Ms. Rhoda; Ms. Gail and Samantha; Ms. Brenda.

Next: Miscellaneous Kitchen Items!

Wow. Aaron and I love all of these great gifts! There are lots of neat little gadgets out there! The smallest group of measuring spoons in the 3 group set has words on them like dash, pinch, etc. How cute! Aaron thinks they will help him get Mamaw's recipes right! And let me just tell you how creative it is to give someone a paper towel holder, and then put a roll of paper towels on it! I love it! Just ask Aaron, I couldn't stop going on and on about it! Its the simple things.

A big Thank You goes out to the following thoughtful people: Ms. Pat and Ms. Julie; Ms. Dale; Ms. Peggy, Avery, and Carly; Ms. Barbara, Ms. Sherry, and Cara; Mr. Brent and Mrs. Paula, Mr. Eddie and Mrs. Jackie; Mr. Bob and Mrs. Marilyn; Grandpa and Granny; Ms. Mary; Ms. Pam and Ms. Rhoda; Ms. Lisa and Lacie; Mr. Gerald and Mrs. Lou; Ms. Gail and Samantha; Mr. Burl and Mrs. Tammy.

We are so prepared to start some serious cooking! We appreciate each of you. Thank you so much!

Only one thank you post remains from the Sharon Shower! Can you guess what it is?

Jar of Pickles!

I've already done several Thank You posts from the Sharon Shower (and still have a few more left!), but I HAD to devote a post completely to this:A jar of Aunt Christine's pickles!!!

Aunt Christine gave me this jar of pickles at the shower along with the rest of her gift! It was probably my favorite gift! I say that it was MY gift because Aaron is not the biggest pickle fan, which is A.O.K with me because I don't share these very easy!

On Sunday's when Aaron is home, we go over to his Mamaw's house for lunch. Every once in a while she has some of these pickles. I always get so excited when I see them sitting out for lunch!I think Aunt Christine heard through the grapevine that I LOVED them, which is fabulous! These are quite possible the most delicious sweet pickles I have EVER eaten! Seriously, they are AMAZING! You can definitely tell that I really like them because the jar is already halfway empty! I'm having a hard time spacing out my pickle eating!

Thank you so much Aunt Christine for such a delicious gift!

Invitation Addressing and Stuffing Luncheon!

On Saturday, a bunch of us girls got together for a luncheon at the Hilborn's house. We of course took a bunch of pictures! (Sorry for the glare from the china cabinet behind us!)

Mrs. Hilborn and Memaw decorated a great table and made some delicious food!

My mom, sister (MOH), and grandmothers.

Four out of six of my bridesmaids were able to make it: Michelle, Leah (MOH), Haley (MOH), and Lauren. Ashley was working and Nichole was GRADUATING FROM GRAD. SCHOOL!!! Congratulations Nichole! I'm so proud of you!

After lunch we all sat down to address and stuff wedding invitations. It was a great excuse for all of us to get together, plus the weather outside was pretty nasty yesterday! Not to mention that the 10 of us tackling this task made it 100% easier!

The addressing table: Michelle, Lauren, Memaw, Haley, and Mrs. Hilborn. The rest of the gang was in another room stamping and stuffing the addressed invitations. I'm not sure what happened to my picture of them: Leah and both of my grandmothers.

My mom and I both floated around from table to table overseeing everything and making sure everything was correct!

Aaron and his dad had planned to go fishing while we had our luncheon, but had a late start due to an unexpected tree fall that they had to clean up. When they finally made it back from a very short trip due to the weather, even Aaron was able to get in on some of the stuffing action! I'm sure he LOVED that!

I think everyone really liked everything that Sarah Hobart created. Thank you girls, moms and grandmothers for all of your help!
