Soon-to-be Mr. & Mrs. Cain!

There's nothing I love more than entertaining, especially this time of year and especially for one of my very best friends who's just a few short weeks away from tying the knot! We hosted a Couple's Shower last weekend complete with an array of seasonal beers, Hudson's BBQ, Hot Apple Cider, and plenty of other fall-themed goodies. 

We can't wait to celebrate with this amazing couple:)

{Birthday Boy}

Happy Birthday to the 4-legged love of my life!

I can not believe it's been 5 years since that 10 lb fur ball became part of our family. He'll always be my 1st "baby" :) 

 Love is not a strong enough word for how I feel about this sweet boy! XO

Gender Reveal

For 12 long weeks we anticipated this day! I can honestly say I hadn't the slightest inclination of what the sex was & I would have been thrilled either way. My husband, on the other hand, had a one track "Boy" mind. After about 15 minutes, baby finally decided to cooperate and the Sonographer spelled out g-i-r-l on the screen!! Hooray! As Lee was drowning his sorrorws adjusting to the news, visions of tutus, ballet recitals, and pink filled my head. We had a small Gender Reveal celebration planned for our families that evening.

Baby girl is the 1st Grandchild on BOTH sides, so I have no doubt she will be spoiled rotten:) Although Lee hadn't imagined a girl first, he couldn't be more excited, and I can.not.wait to see him in action with this little girl:)

Loving Fall

Fall is my absolute favorite season. I simply love the cooling temperatures, falling leaves, apple lessons in my classroom, endless pumpkin recipes, and, of course, football. This past weekend I traveled to the upstate to see my beloved Tigers stomp the Yellow Jackets.

Words can't express how much I miss this place! I'm already preparing for my future Clemson Grad, {because of course she'll attend my Alma Matter}so I happily got started on baby girl's football wardrobe!

I was glad my hubby got to enjoy the Gamecocks without my _ _ _ _ talking & bad attitude, too. The secret to a happy, house-divided marriage is to go your separate ways come Saturdays!:)
