I'm Dons Friend

This weekend I went down to St. Augustine, FL with some of my girlfriends. We were going to have a beach weekend and run a 5k- a first for some. It was so fun to spend time with these girls I never get to hang out with.

We got there Friday and went straight to the pier to pick up our race goodies.

Then we went to check into our condo, and found a mystery door...the bookcase was a secret door to a half bathroom. CRAZY!!!!

Friday night we went to Harry's restaurant and enjoyed some fresh seafood

Saturday morning was the BIG day, we all brought pink and black running clothes without planning it! It made it so easy to spot everyone!



The 5k was called Don's Friends Run and there were 313 people running. Everyone made it across the finish line and were so excited to check this off the Bucket List.

Kelley and Beth....they ran the whole time!


GO BECCA GO!

We were all so happy to be done!

We spent the rest of the day on the beach and then got ready to go out for dinner and drinks.


and a little bit of dancing




What a fun weekend! Our cab ride home that night was the best part of all. We even got the video camera out for it. (If we get it on you tube, I'll add it later). Of course we had to take some silly pics in our condo that was filled with mirrors EVERYWHERE, this one was on the ceiling in the living room. I love how it looks like we are in a picture frame.

Last night we went to the Braves game with a group of friends. Besides the traffic getting down there we had a blast! Braves won again- UNDEFEATED!




So of course you know I am easily distracted at sporting events, well this was a MAJOR distraction for me ALL GAME!

uh, excuse me sir, PLEASE TUCK YOUR TAG IN!!!!!!

Just try to pronounce this guys name... Poor Guy!

So, I HATE Hot Dogs (as you all know) so I couldn't help but post these pics of Lauren eating her footlong. I told Maggie if she brought one back and sat beside me I would die!

But I ended up catching her and dave sneaking one in! CAUGHT YA!

(Mags, I love your reaction)

EASTER

Hope everyone had a wonderful easter weekend. Wesley and I went down to Cordele and spent time with his family. We got to see everyone...including Kate coming for just one night. We sat in the sun saturday and all of us ended up getting burnt. Thank goodness you couldn't tell in the Easter Pictures.

YOU OUGHTA KNOW

As most of you know my morning routine is fixing a cup of coffee and getting ready to VH1 music videos. My favorite part has become the videos they call You Oughta Know, they feature up and coming artists that sometimes make it big. This song came on a couple of weeks ago and I just LOVED it. I downloaded it on itunes and think you all should too. ENJOY!

Whats His is Hers

This past weekend Wesley and I helped host a party for Cooper & Kaley. It was in Montgomery, AL at The Millers new house or should I say Mansion! Their house is amazing, and they were so sweet to let us use it as the Party Place.


We spent most of the day laying in the sun while the boys played football in their BIG backyard.




The party was really fun, we had plenty of yummy food and good wine, even a tacky cake to top off the party.

Rebecca asked the bakery to make it colorful and maybe make gifts on the sides to look like the invitation.....well we got bright colored roses...that will do!


The featured guests of the party looked great as always.

Cooper Wallace & Kaley Segars

We even had a special guest

Baby Hudson Smith

The party was a blast and I cannot wait for the wedding, Hope you girls are ready!

What Is That?

I love tearing out recipes from magazines and trying one new recipe a week. I tore out this recipe a while back from Cooking Light but kept skipping over it because of the ingredients, Turnip and Parsnip, I mean I didn't even know what to look for in the grocery store. I finally got up the courage to make this yummy looking dish and headed to the store. I looked at every tag in the produce section three times and finally swallowed my pride and asked the worker to help me. Once I had the weird looking veggies I went home to try this out.
TURNIP & PARSNIP GRATIN


Once I figured out how to cut and peel them, I was on a roll. So here is the final product

IT WAS GOOD!
This recipe tasted just like potatoes and cheesy potatoes at that. I will be making this again and now I know right where to go to get my new veggies!
