H + M = 4-EVER

Holliann & Mark
My niece became a Mrs. this weekend.  She is now a Bolton & a married woman!  I have loved Holliann since before my sister had her & now I love and adore her husband, Mark Thomas.
Holliann and Mark met while working at Shane's, a local restaurant in our town.  The week of the wedding they changed the sign out front to congratulate them.

The wedding was beautiful!! Every, detail from the venue to the food and flowers was Holliann and Mark. The weather gave us a little scare, but cleared up in time for the chairs to be dried off and Holliann to walk down the the aisle to the love of her life.



I loved this idea of announcement of the wedding party!


You may kiss the bride!

Mr. & Mrs. Mark Bolton



Look at the good looking wedding party:

Speaking of good looking...check out these cute kiddo's!!
As, you see in the picture above, Holliann's bouquet has a ring attached to it.  Holliann's dad passed away when she was 5.  My sister had Randy's wedding ring.  She made a charm with the ring and his picture for her to attach to the bouquet so, Randy was with her as, she walked down the aisle.




Holliann had her own special angel watching her on her special day.


First dance as husband and wife:


A little cake cutting, garter finding and bouquet throwing...




Then we all danced the night away!





Remember that cute little flower girl...this one
Yes, that cute little one...well, she was the life of the PARTY!
Once, One Direction - you don't know you're beautiful came on she took over the mic!!
But, my oh, my is she going to miss her Aunt now that she is a married woman...

Livy LOVES her Aunt Hoolie!

As, the night came to an end we helped them sparkle their way out into their new married life!

I wanna Wednesday's - Fall


Fall is almost here. 

Honestly, I am a Spring - Summer chick, but come on Fall being around the corner means new clothes and new styles.  EEK!!  I enjoy wearing my jeans, but my, oh, my do I L-O-V-E scarfs, sweaters and boots.

While playing around on Pintrest I have found a few Fall outfits I can't wait to put together.

 This casual look would be great for Saturday's while running around town. 
I'm really digging the converse ~):
 LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the grey off the shoulder shirt, skinny jeans with of course boots!
 I'm a sucker for scarfs so, why not add leggings and boots with an oversize shirt.
 Grey & blue....great combo :)
 This outfit is a must for me!!
 Hair up, skinny jeans, tank & wrap around sweater.
Well, the shoes...yes, they just SCREAM my name :)

Charleston Bound...

Labor day has come, gone & so has the end of Summer :(  What did I do?  My best friend and I loaded up 3, yes, 3 kids under the age of 6 and headed to the BEACH!  I know you are thinking wow y'all are crazy stupid!!  Nope, we had a blast!!  As, soon as school got out Friday we hit the road and we were beach bound with 3 little ones totally excited!!
Day one was all beach and all fun! 
















After lunch on the beach. Really, I could get us to eating lunch on the beach :) I REALLY think it was the first time in MONTHS my blood pressure was at a normal reading.  This I could get use to+++!
Any who, after lunch and more playing on the beach we headed back to our room for a nap...this too, I could get use to!  After our naps we all (yes, me included) woke up in GREAT moods and ready to hit the pool for night swimming & dinner by the pool.
Boy, did we sleep good after all the night swimming!!

Day 2 we headed to downtown Charleston.  While downtown we rode the trolley or "charlie" as the girls called it:


We went to Waterfront Park and saw LOTS of boats!  We could also see the resort we were staying at across the water.  While, at Waterfront Park we took a small break and had some fun on the swings for a while.



We stopped for lunch.  At, lunch we had a nice surprise!  TA-TA (Tonya) came and ate lunch with us!  If, that wasn't fun going and getting yogurt afterwards was the BEST!!


What now?  The pool of course!!

We saw a wedding!  The girls were so excited to see a "REAL" Princess!!










 As, Sunday night came to a close we packed and talked about how fun our trip had been.  It must have been GREAT because this is what the car ride looked like on the way home...
Labor day weekend was so much fun!  I hated to see it come to an end :(  Now, on to Fall and Football!!



Simple Prayers

Lord, I thank you for your beloved Son, for your unfailing love, and for Your wonderful thoughts. During my busy day, help me to remember all that You have done for me. Help me to follow Your Word and walk in purity of heart.
