Dirt Road Anthem

This weekend we hit the dirt roads of Alabama with new and old friends. We spent a full day wondering trails and traversing some crazy terrain. I'm not going to lie and say it was all peaches. I definitely got pretty scared a time or twelve, but I was with an excellent group of (basically professional) 4-wheelers (one being my husband). We did have a large group and a paramedic with us, so I felt pretty safe even with the seriously steep mountains. It was a full day of mud sling fun and beautiful views. I took a ton of pictures that you can check out on my FB page.
I also wanted to say that I start my new job with Lockheed Martin on September 12th. I can't wait to finally get there and get to work. It's been a long process with all of the background checking and pre work requirements. Once I start I'm not sure when or how often I'll be able to blog, but I'll try and keep up. Happy Monday Everyone...I'm sure I might soon realize once I start working again, that there is no such thing as Happy Monday, but for now there is!!

Glad I had on snake boots!

The group!

So BUSY

Things have been downright crazy lately. Luke and I left for Savannah last Thursday night after work for a day of house hunting in Savannah. Just to clarify...we are just looking for a home base (not moving there at this point in our life)
After a day of house hunting Luke left to join in a bachelor party for an Auburn friend. Saturday evening I picked up Luke for his 10 year high school reunion. Crazy huh!! It was fun, and apparently Luke hasn't changed a bit.

The only picture we snagged on our way to the reunion

Sunday I headed to Sumter, SC to help my friend Anna Mo. with wedding stuff. We were VERY successful on Monday finding THE DRESS, and narrowed down the selections of venues to three. She's getting married next June in Columbia, SC. I would LOVE to post a pic of how beautiful her dress is, but you know that's against the rules.
So...I'm finally home yesterday after a pit stop and lunch with my family in Augusta. Today's mission is to finish up the rehearsal dinner slideshow I'm in charge of for my friends Jamie and Scott's wedding this weekend. I'm super excited and will hopefully have tons of pictures to show later.
One last thing I guess I should throw out...Today I accepted an offer from Lockheed Martin! http://www.lockheedmartin.com I'm officially back in the supply chain world. They said it will take a full month to complete my background check and all that jazz (military freight), but this time next month I'll be a full time working lady again. I'm pretty excited!

Let Them Eat CAKE!

By them I mean me! I know it's not good for my body, but cake sure does feed the soul. This weekend my sister Katie dropped by for a visit. We laid by the pool, baked a cake from scratch that seriously dirtied every dish in my kitchen (so thankful to have a dishwasher), dined at a delish local Newnan joint, and just had some good 'ol fashion fun.
