Weekend Updateee

Hey Ya'll! so since my last update i've had a few things going on! on friday night i went and saw my little cousins play. "belles on their toes", the sequel to cheaper by the dozen. it was so adorable! she will be a star and i know it! 


Colt came over friday night to stay with me :) and then on saturday we went to his house and got ready for his cousins wedding in Macon. Mary Rae was absolutely gorgeous, as was the rest of the wedding. we had the most fun! I LOVE weddings! and oh my goodness was hers a pretty one...her colors were green and brown and every last detail was perfect. she had magnolias everywhere and pearl accents every place she could stick em. her dress was so beautiful, had it not been rude, i would have snapped a picture for ya'll...


which bring me to my next thought...i am SO ready for my wedding! i pray im not a bridezilla...but if i am, its my day! haha...i have all of my details basically planned out already haha..all i need is the man to stick in the tux! after i saw bride wars, i fell in LOVE with the Vera Wang..dress kate hudson wore! i would die to have it! 

Remember: "You don't alter Vera to fit you, you alter yourself to fit Vera.." Hope i will be able to suck it in!!!

and after i got to looking for it, i may love the green even more! Lace overlay is GORGEOUS!

and i WILL wear cowgirl boots with my dress! :) OF COURSE!

You Might be a Southern Belle if:

A Southern Belle...
1. Dresses like a lady, not a lady of the night.
2. Keeps a smile on her face that could melt the heart of an IRS agent.
3. Is always ready to share the news (but keeps the family secrets).
4. Keeps everything shipshape: penmanship, fellowship, stewardship.
5. Lets a gentleman be a gentleman by allowing him to open a door for her, thank you very much.

Rule #6 is that every Southern Hostess knows that a pitcher of iced tea is a MUST for all occasions. I like iced tea, but I have never kept it on hand to serve, and I guess I need to start!

7. “A Southern Lady, the most interesting ones anyway, know that rules are made to be broken.”

And then rule #8 – “The only correct and acceptable way to criticize anyone is to add ‘bless his/her heart!’ and then, anything goes!”

9. Keep at least one koozie in each purse, in your bookbag, in your car, and everywhere else you can fit one.  Do you want to get caught without one?  Didn’t think so.

10. "Remember to be very careful of who you talk about around here. Everybody in the South is kin to each other. No matter who you bring up, you're bound to be insulting somebody's aunt, uncle, or third cousin twice removed."

11. -Charm, Charm, Charm.

12. A southern Belle can sing your praises to the sky or slash you completely apart with the sweetest smile and the nicest sounding words you could ever hope to hear.

13. a southern ladies vocabulary: "Lovely"- She comes from a lovely family.  Her people are lovely

"Precious" - A high compliment.
You're so precious to think of me.
Aren't you just the most precious thing.

"Darlin'" - Also a high compliment, to be used a long with precious for better emphasis.
Your daughter is darlin' and she wears the most precious clothes.

"Cute"- Not a high compliment but not a complete put-down either.
Don't you look cute. (This means you still have an outide chance of making Kappa Kappa Gamma, but you're not as solid as you would be if you looked precious or darlin')

"Sweet" - the kiss of death
Who's that sweet little thing in the corner.  Just look at that sweet little dress she's wearing!

"Nice" - the kiss of death with the coffin sealed
Well, I don't know her well, but she does seem nice.

Thanks Hank...

Growing up Southern is a privilege, really. It's more than where you're born, it's an idea and state of mind that seems imparted at birth. Its more than loving fried chicken, football, beer, and country music. Its being hospitable and devoted to screen porches, sweet tea, magnolias, red velvet cake, Coca-Cola... and each other. We don't become Southern- we're born that way." - Hank Jr.
