Autumn & Jerry

How can it be that we’ve only been home for a week after our beautiful vacation in celebration of our 4th wedding anniversary, and I am already ready to get back to the beach?! I need another one. Florida was so much fun. The beach in Lido Key was wonderful. The eateries in St. Armand’s [...]

I cringe every time I see a picture, a news clip, or this live video stream of the BP oil spill. I simply cannot believe that BP and the other companies involved did not have a solid plan for this type of disaster. If these corporations were unable to come up with something definite in [...]

This little birdie has made our front porch her home while she starts a family. It’s impossible to get a picture of the baby birds since they go into hiding with the slightest bit of movement or noise, but you can see the mama bird guarding her nest here. She’s been watching our every move [...]

Lots to catch up on…new posts coming soon. Should be a bit more regular, now that I am OUT OF SCHOOL for a month! Wheee! I even have a week off work coming up soon that will be properly celebrated with some beach time. Freedom is sweet. : – )

We got up early and braved the rain to grab some coffee & do some shopping in Savannah before making our way to our second destination, the lovely city of Charleston. The weather was far from perfect, but in truth it didn’t slow us down much at all. With Starbucks in hand (piping hot Awake [...]

Our first stop was Savannah, and we had an amazing time in this eclectic little coastal southern city. We dined Paula Deen style at her awesome restaurant, The Lady & Sons, and let me just say we left fat and happy. We then attempted to walk off some of that delicious food by strolling along [...]

Today we will celebrate three years of marriage. I hope to enjoy many, many more! Dear J, Things just keep getting better, and I love the life we are building. Thank you for all that you do and for all that you don’t do. Thank you for standing up for what you believe in and [...]

Wednesday, May 20th, marks our third wedding anniversary. Last year, we celebrated our special date in Siesta Key, FL – an amazing trip in a beautiful piece of paradise! The year before that, we took a motorcycle trip along the Blue Ridge Parkway to honor our first year of marriage. This year, we will celebrate [...]

We spent the day with my mom for a wonderful Mother’s Day. First, I joined the fam for church and then we visited both grandmothers bearing gifts. After lunching on pizza (mom’s choice, yum!), we lounged poolside and munched on fresh fruit trays and cheese & crackers before a delightful dessert in the form of [...]

For the past week & a half we’ve been making a very conscious effort to eat and live healthily. Call it a nod to the fast-approaching swimsuit season, a knee-jerk reaction to hubby’s upcoming birthday milestone, or whatever else you can think of, but really it’s just a desire to be healthy. We both would [...]
