Summer Vacation Spots
My sweet, sweet hubby surprised me last night with great 4th of July plans. He's taking us to the Elizabeth Point Lodge on Amelia Island. I am so excited to go back to Amelia Island. It's really a small town with an incredibly laid-back atmosphere. Perfect for a relaxing 4th.
We're also going back to Charleston where we honeymooned last year. For the honeymoon, we stayed at the Wentworth Mansion. So preppy-approved that Reese Witherspoon stayed here on her honeymoon (hope that' not a bad omen).
It was BEAUTIFUL and tres romantic, but a little out of walking distance from King Street and the market, so this year, we're staying at the Charleston Place Hotel. We're planning to return to some restaurants we looooooved last year, including Fulton Five, Fleet Landing, and Circa 1886. I can't wait to get back to Charleston, it's absolutely beautiful and fits my unhurried vacation style perfectly!

Can I Make a Comeback with a MeMe???
What were you doing 10 years ago?
Let's see 1998 - I was about to enter my senior year in college, living with 5 sorority sisters, drinking waaaaaaay to much $1 draft beer, and still thinking about going to Med School. Man, time flies and priorities change!
What are 5 things on your to do list for today?
1. Stay awake after getting oh, about 2.5 hours of sleep last night due to a demanding feline and the snoring of my sinus infected husband. I swear he could wake the dead!
2. Make about a billion phonecalls at work since I was out with my own sinus infection on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
3. Try not to obsess about the $75 it cost to fill up my SUV yesterday and try not to stop at the Toyota dealership on the way home and offer to pay them to take it and then pay them for a Prius.
4. Try not to get too bummed that I have to get up at 5:30 tomorrow morning to go to a Municipal Institute training. How much fun does Taxation 101 sound to you????
5. Go to the grocery store lest we starve.
What snacks do you enjoy?
Sonic cheese stix and a vanilla coke are my all-time favorite, followed closesly by bleu cheese and pears (what can I say, I'm eclectic).
What places have you lived?
Statesboro, GA, Valdosta, GA, St Simons Island, GA - I've pretty much kept it to the 912 Area Code, except for a brief stint (read 1 quarter) at GA Tech (Area Code 404)!
What 5 things would you do if you were a billionaire?
1. Pay off my mom's debt.
2. Pay off my mine and Hubby's debt.
3. Buy and island and live there when it's not hurricane season.
4. Fund breast cancer and alzheimer's research till they find a cure.

Weekend Update
The new job is going great, in spite of the national tragedy that took us all by surprise when we went to lunch on Monday. My heart goes out to VT students. I'm from a college town and I can't imagine what it would be like if something like that happened here.
This Saturday was keep Georgia Beautiful Day and my small town (pop. 200 +/-, in which I hold a political office) replanted our Children's Garden. I was inspired to plant it last year on the site of a vacant buliding that had literally been allowed to fall down. We cleared the lot, put up donated fencing, borrowed child-size gardening tools from the neighboring University and let the kids plant squash, tomatoes, watermellon, sunflowers, etc. It was such a big hit that we decided to do it again this year. In addition to the kid-friendly, pesticide-free fruits and veggies, we added an herb garden for us foodies. We also added things like pinwheels and humming bird feeders and a picnic table with a bright umbrella to encourage families to come out during the day for lunch or a snack. I hope to post pics later in the week.

Mi Vida Loca!
It has been waaaaaaaaay too long my blogging friends! I have had time here and there to read your blogs, but I haven't had any time for my own postings. With wedding planning breathing down my neck (4 months out) and starting a new job on Monday, my schedule has been nuts.
I do have some exciting news to share:
A) I will be starting a fab new job on Monday. This job comes with a fab new paycheck and will actually allow me to use my MBA - what a novel concept! The only downside is I'm going from a capri pants and polo setting to a heels and hose setting, so that will be tough the first couple of weeks.
B) My engagement announcement finally came out in our hometown newspapers, and I got a call on Tuesday to come and pick up some wedding gifts! These two were from a local jewlery store that carries tons of great stuff. I got 4 monogrammed iced tea glasses and a matcing lucite monogrammed drink tray and pitcher - just perfect for Sunday brunch on the patio!
C) (Which relates to B) I am so organized lately that I wrote the thank you notes for the gifts on the same day I received them. I used my gorgeous embossed monogram notes from Lemon Tree Paperie. I also went strawberry picking with my nephew, bought a whole flat, dame home and made 75 mini-jars of "Lovin' Spoonful Strawberry Jam" (yes that's what I put on the labels) to use in my gift bags for OOT wedding guests. Monogram Momma would be so proud!
D) (Which relates to A) Do any of you preppy girls have suggestions for office supplies (blotter, trays, pencil cup, etc.) I want to start this new job in style and I want my desk to be as fab as the job!
E) Polo Guy and I have been looking for the perfect look for the guys in the wedding. I'm not into the whole tux thing - sometimes it looks way too "prom-ish" (is that even a word!?). We've decided on charcoal grey suits, black wingtips, and some sort of VV tie, just to make it fun. The guy at the store is going to order me samples of everything they have in pink and I can then decide on a design (sometimes it pays to be from a small town!). I just hope everything turns out as well as it did for Jen at Preppy Wedding. Her details and photos are AWESOME. I'm so glad she's continuing with her blog and helping out other brides-to-be.
I think that's it for now, but I'll try to do better with my blogging!

Rehearsal Dinner Outfits
I'm in the process of narrowing down my choices for my rehearsal dinner. Since Polo guy thinks every day is khaki pants day, I'm choosing his clothes too. I don't want to be too matchy-matchy, but I think this is the one time I can get away with it. I'm open for feedback on the choices below.
For Polo Guy: Jos A Bank Seersucker Pants in blue with white VV shirt and blue VV Champagne Tie.
For The Preppy Peach: Old Navy Seersucker Dress, maybe adding a coordinating VV Sash.
My wedding colors are (of course) pink and green, so I thought of switching the seersucker to pink with green accessories, but not sure Polo Guy would go for it! Give me some help Preppy Girls!
