Hello there my friends! Its been a while since I last took/had the time to post. I have been very busy with year end and holiday duties and looks like I am going to stay busy clear through the end of May when Cinderella finally marries Prince R...so please know that even though I may not be posting...(probably noone will even notice..ha ha)...I am always keeping up with you! Also I am attempting to give time to improving my "image" and my marriage (started the Love Dare) today...its 24 years this May...time to "spice it up a bit"! :)
Hubs & I and Nate & his g/f Chels took a little jaunt down to SC after Christmas for a few days...did a little tasting for the wedding which was delish...so now we finally have a caterer. You can check out Chef Ron's work here...http://www.beyondxpectations.com/
Also met up w/Prince R and his Dad and finalized the Rehearsal Dinner at htttp://www.mccradysrestaurant.com/ and its going to be simply amazing! While we were in Charleston's fly shop, as in fishing...we never miss one of these when Nate's along...the owner told us that McCradys is Charleston's BEST restaurant...made me feel good as we had no idea when we chose there just how great and "special" things were going to be. There's a story behind how we picked that involves Kirk's Mom, who I know sent us there, and not by accident! Let me digress for one minute and just say how very much I...WE...all miss her so in this process!
We then jaunted up the coast for a night at Myrtle Beach where we enjoyed some of my favorite She Crab soup from The Gulfstream Cafe on South Waccamaw in Garden City...in case you're in the area...you won't be disappointed! While we were driving to MB from Charleston I was busy making a room reservation and the debate in the car was whether to spend the extra $30/night on an Ocean Front room. My 19 y.o. son says, "hey if your're going to "waste" $30 then you can just put it in my pocket." Don't get me started about all the dinero' he wastes! :) Anyways story goes like this, when I checked in the very nice gentleman at the desk says, "well I see here that you are an Honors Club member so I have upgraded your room to Ocean Front! " Yup thats right we stayed in a beautiful new room, Ocean Front for the regular old rate, and you ask me if God is good my friends, YES HE IS!...and just to prove that...check out this amazing SonRise my baby boy caught with his camera the next morning!
Well I must be wrapping this up as I stayed up 'til 3 am last night but managed to get Cait's Jr. Bridesmaid dress ordered...she will look so cute...AND
found an AMAZING house to rent for the week of the wedding! You can check it out at http://www.vrbo.com/209885... and lastly secured the Block of rooms at The Hampton Inn-IOP on Sessions Way in Mt. Pleasant...so if you are reading this and coming to the Wedding...call to grab a room at the discounted rate before they are all gone...just use code RRW.
Don't know when I'll be back but know that I am having the time of my life and WISHING & HOPING & PRAYING that each of you have a Happy, Healthy, & Blessed New Year!!!
