Jewelry Wall

This project has probably taken me longer than any project to complete! Not because it was hard but because I just totally forgot about it. I bought all the supplies at Lowe's a few months ago... only to get home and realize I bought the wrong dowel rod and a few other things.....

yummy, yummy tomato soup

I have never liked tomato soup. Actually, I don't know that I had ever really tried tomato soup. I don't like tomatoes plain-- I love salsa, pico, all things of that nature. I also had never eaten a grilled cheese sandwich.....

bachelorette party: last sail before the veil!

Last weekend we celebrated my bachelorette party in Hot Springs and it was so much fun! We battled storms and tons of rain but ended up with a few beautiful hours out on the water! The best part was catching up with everyone, we always have such great things to talk about! I love these girls more than anything!

My sister, Lauren, made the most adorable decorations and threw one heck of a party! Check it out :)

Party favors from the bride :) 

We even had fresh flowers! 

So adorable! Love the colors! 

Cheers! XOXO

Penzo Family Beach Trip

Since I'm playing blog catch-up, I wanted to post about our family beach trip in early June. The whole entire Penzo family went to the beach together, just like old times! Years ago we would all go every other year and stay at Navarre Beach. As everyone got older, schedules got busy and we just stopped.

It was so great to have the whole family there for a whole week. Brian got very well acquainted with the WHOLE entire Penzo clan and it was so fun! Here are some pics!
