Happy Fourth of July everyone!!!
The video above is from 4th of July in 2010. I ran the Peachtree Roadrace that morning and we went to a Braves game that night! Rod and I are so thankful for the freedoms that we have in this country. We encourage everyone to keep America in your prayers and get out and be involved and vote!!! Do not take your freedoms for granted. There are soldiers every day fighting to keep our freedom so the least we can do is get involved and support our country and never forget what we were founded on. Thanks to everyone who is fighting or has fought for The United States of America!
Awkward pic..haha but it was one of the only ones of the whole group! |
A lot has been going on in the past month! June 22-24 Kristina, Brittany and I rode down together to meet my sister, Summer, Louisa and Rochelle in Orange Beach, AL for my bachelorette party! We had a blast! They threw me an awesome lingerie shower, we had a great meal (I had oysters) at Shaggy's of Orange Beach and ended the night at Florabama and Waffle House! The next day was a full day of relaxing on the beach. Tropical Storm Debbie was trying to roll in, but she only provided huge waves for us that day, and extra strong sun rays, as all of us were burnt in different places. That evening we walked around the wharf where we discovered a lot of the places have closed down, we then went and listened to some awful kareoke at Live Bait until the back opened up and we danced away to "Hip Kitty"... (80s cover band).
My sister planned it perfectly and I cannot thank her enough along with all of my bridesmaids who chipped in and helped out. It was perfect, I had a great weekend and it meant a lot to me that all of you celebrated with me!!
The next weekend was a shower for Rod and I in my hometown, Albany, GA. It was so great to see everyone from growing up. It made me feel old because some girls I babysat when they were 5 were there and are getting their licenses now!!! Holy Cow...
Anyways, the shower was thrown by my mom's longtime friend- Rachel Dorough, my sister, childhood friend- Diane Dorough, and my Godmother- Ann Anderson. It was a clock themed shower! The invitations were designed by Katie's mentor in Auburn, Anna with Viv-Vah-Chey Designs. We loved every minute of it! The food was great the decorations were great and the fellowship was great! Rod and I appreciate the love and support shown for our upcoming marriage! It means so much to us. I wish we could spend more time with our Albany friends and family. We love and miss you all so much!
