i'd like to wish my super fun, beautiful, world traveling bff

a very happy and adventure filled birthday!

it's best to be on kathryn's team. she always wins.

the three amigos.

sunburn sisters at bonaroooooo.

kathryn & her new husband brian are currently on

their honeymoon exploring patagonia.

can't wait for you to get back so we can celebrate!

charleston

a few weeks ago we vetured to the beautiful land

of charleston, south carolina for some r&r.

the atherton's, some of my families oldest friends moved

to charleston recently and live in the most amazing home.

this is a picture from their dock, that's their mansion back there....

the sky was breathtaking, perfect for a nice pinky sunset.

we got eaten alive by the swamp.

beautiful pals on the boat.

the world is our oyster...

love me some shadow pictures.

the weather was just perfect.

workin' on our jump shots...

this was take 7 of like 500.

jared created a one of a kind monogrammed

sand square for the bride to be.

jared with raf & his masterpiece.

sunshine and smiles with tj & raf.

its nice to have a friend with a boat!

croquet, cakes & hacky sac.

our pals micah & rachel came to visit.

we had a lot of fun. they came to us straight from

(5 weeks on) the puerto rico beach.

*tara was a bit envious of their tans to say the least...

we played croquet.

slim & micah went to college together

and they hadn't seen each other in 7 years! 

we went to the marietta pizza kitchen and

micah taught us all how to make dollar bill rings.

then we left our creations for a waiter as a bonus tip!

we sat on the porch and ate oatmeal & eggs & fruit.

rachel & micah really love mangos.

they showed us the best way to eat them and we

ate our hearts out. seriously, we just kept eating mangos.

we bought a whole box at harry's!

then we went to the art hunt and all came home empty handed,

except raffy- she found 3 pieces. 2 toilets & a monster.

then we ventured to your dekalb farmers market 

(which is very very super busy on saturdays)

and bought a bunch of delicious foods and cakes and brews

and had a big croquet game in raffy & b & lyric's backyard.

we all took turns using their new push mower.

rachel & jared made up the black (and purple) team.

i think jared just naturally started to have an

australian accent (just like rachel).

they were a fierce & fabulous team.

lea & tara made up the red (and chaco) team.

they liked to call themselves team honesty...

(insert sassy face that says "girl please")

raffy & i were the orange (graphic tshirt) team- also known as

THE WINNERS!

croquet is really fun.

a nice simple game that can easily & quickly become violent.

the boys were all teamed up too..

micah & b were the golden boys, yellow team

and slim & jeff were the green j's team.

they were both the 1st to finish the course and the 1st to 

knock each other out with their poison balls.

even lyric got in on the fun as she played caddy!

levine-hunt's mean muggin.

after hours of crochet and light beers we started on dinner.

we made delicious burritos, guac, smushed plantains & had cake.

then we all did party tricks and played hacky sac & hugged.

then next morning slim, micah & rachel took off for the farm.

the plan is for all 3 of them to ride their bikes and have fun.

micah & rachel are riding all the way home, to new hampshire.

slim is going to ride with them as far as he can.

(before his spring break is over and has to join the real world again)

bon voyage!

raffy's goin' to the chapel...

project get raffy married is in full swing!

raf's mom & sister came into town this weekend

and it was non-stop wedding dress shopping. non-stop.

here's the bride-to-be.

our first stop was kelly's closet in candler park.

can you tell they're related?

the bangs with raffy and tara jane.

la fonda margaritas for lunch.

raffy passed on this one, but i thought it had flare.

jared, trying on a possible future wedding tux for

himself at jcrew.

*will definitely a destination wedding.

my raffy is going to be the most

kathryn & tara are getting married!

i couldn't be more excited for my besties.

i keep imagining what their weddings will be like.

i know they'll be super special & personal & fabulous 

and filled with love & happiness.

here's a pic of me & my groom on our special day 

9.25.10

wild things.

i love the book

where the wild things are

(even though the wild things scared me as a child)

i was so excited when i first saw previews for the new movie..

 but i think i dug the soundtrack most of all & still haven't seen the film.

inside all of us is hope.

inside all of us is fear.

inside all of us is adventure!

checkout these cute baking crafts from pinterest.

the max cupcake is too perfect!

handsome jared- still glowing from his safari.

we went to a bar called church..

(sister louisa's church of the living room & ping pong emporium)

slim kicked some major hipster ping pong booty!

the art was amazing & cringe-worthy.
