Weekend Round Up

This weekend has been like most weekends in our lives--eventful! We were lucky to start our weekend early--Thursday after work to be exact. The initial plan was to head down to Beaufort Thursday evening. (I'm bummed I didn't get to see this cutie--but we'll see him in a few weeks for his Christening)

The renovations of the day left (seven yucky fireplaces that need some love--everyone keeps telling me to take some before pictures so we'll have something to compare the after to--but I don't want to be reminded of the before) the house a little turned upside down as well as there was soot everywhere not to mention that we hadn't packed-so we stayed at home for the evening. I attempted to clean-FYI soot is not easy to clean! (We'll be heading home tonight - to what I don't know!)

Friday morning we headed out early--first stop--Bridal Brunch for my dear friend Jennifer in Mount Pleasant. Trey and Drew stopped in to visit with Mama while I dined on fabulous food! Next stop--Jacksonboro to meet Gigi. Drew headed to Beaufort with Gigi while Trey and I headed downtown Charleston to Hyman's. After Trey had a delicious meal--I was still stuffed from the Brunch--we had a quick stroll through downtown Charleston. We stopped in for Trey to see St. Mary's (my great uncle Msgr. Simonin was the pastor at St. Mary's for many years and Trey had never been inside the church). Next stop--The Pavilion at Pepper Plantation for Jennifer and Larry's wedding.

Final Stop--Beaufort.Bed.

Saturday we visited with my parents in Beaufort. Trey was hoping to purchase a new gun at Bay Street Outfitters that he had seen on a previous visit. He's very bummed that the gun was sold-I wasn't as bummed. I picked up Trouble the Water for book club next month. Saturday evening Trey and I took advantage of Gigi and Papa and went to dinner without Drew. We headed to Bay Street and ate at Saltus River Grill.

We'll be on the road home in a little while heading home. Sad to see the weekend go so quickly! But looking forward to starting a new week.

PS: Per Trey, I can't include a picture of Cooper and not include pictures of Drew.

Blind Date in the Capital City

I have been reading other blogs for months-normally when I should be working. I came across Kelly's Korner Blog which I love and am finally encouraged to start my own. So here we go-"Show us your life-how you met your husband" I am going to keep this short and sweet since I've used up most of the morning getting this blog up and running...Trey and I were introduced through mutual friend's Jennifer and Chad Hutson. (They need to get a blog--baby boy number three is on the way!)
I was working in Columbia and Trey was working in Chesterfield (little over an hour distance-depending on who is driving). Trey was very eager to meet me-having heard about me through the Hutson's --I was looking forward to a month of going to the beach every weekend to visit family (hence, not looking to start dating). He called me up out of the blue wanting to go out the weekend coming up (June 2007). I was shocked and unexpected to get his call (Jennifer hadn't given me any advance notice). I already had plans to go to the Isle of Palms for the weekend-but was interested in meeting this guy who would just call you out of no where. I had planned on taking a half day at work that Friday, but rearranged the day so I could go to lunch with Trey...and the rest is history.
We got married in October 2007, welcomed our precious boy Drew in April 2008 and moved into our dream home in July 2008. Life is crazy, full of ups and downs, but I wouldn't have it any other way!
