SAVANNAH (some day)

Now that we're settled, Pete, Chubbs and I can't wait to explore Atlanta and all the neat little cities within driving distance of us.


Top on our list right now, though, is Savannah, GA.


I'm thinking Paula Dean, southern cooking, cute little old ladies, tree-lined streets and gorgeous light yellow houses with full wrap-around porches. I've heard such great things about it I can't wait to check it out.


And I might already have my dress picked out for our weekend visit (mind you, no visit is planned yet. I like to take care of the important things first.)

I saw it perusing through Anthro online and this dress just oozed Savannah.


With these wedges...(and complimentary coral jewelry of course)

I might be slightly excited. Now to start planning.

WAFFLE HOUSE

I moved to Georgia exactly one week ago.

Since then I've seen approximately 462 Waffle House Restaurants.

That might be a slight exaggeration, but seriously they're everywhere.

We have 2 grocery stores, but 462 Waffle Houses. 

I've never been to one, but something's telling me that might change real soon.

BIRTHDAY BOY

We Celebrated Pete's birthday yesterday. The big 2-9.

I like to remind him every chance I get that he's pushing 30 :) And he politely reminds me that I've entered my 'late' twenties and am on my way to 30 too. Ok, ok.

Pete worked all day and sadly was stuck at work late on his big night. But luckily he has a girlfriend that likes him a whole lot and brought him lunch and made his office a batch of Chocolate Chip Birthday Cookies. AND we were still able to go out for dinner with a couple friends...our first friends here in Georgia!

Overall I'd call it a success. 

Happy Birthday, Pete, so thankful I can celebrate with you.

MIXERS

My favorite item in the kitchen. My beloved KitchenAid Mixer. Nothing quite compares.

When Pete bought it for me for our anniversary in January there were only six standard colors out in the 600 Series. Or so the store clerk told us.

Now I discover yellow, orange, steel blue...where were these five months ago?!?

I'm loving the yellow that I found on Amazon. So pretty. So refreshing.
