Ahoy, maties!

Gearing up for the July 4th weekend. We tagged along on Lori's yearly expedition to Dale Hollow last year, and we had so much fun we're going again! I've even made tshirts for everyone to commemorate the event. Seriously. They have a theme each year, and this year is Cowboys and Indians. You may or may not see photos of this event. The shenanigans promise to be abundant.

In the meantime, I'm gearing up for a Premier Jewelry party tonight - hosting it for a friend who's just started selling. I ♥ me some sparklies. :) And who doesn't love a good Girls' Night?

On the real estate front, I was working pretty fervently on a home in downtown Savannah that was built in 1900. It has every single thing we're looking for - except the ideal location. It's a bit further south than we were looking for. But after a few weeks of nonstop quotes and financing hooplah, someone got a contract on the sucker before we could get our offer in. Just so happens we love our current house and were both a bit relieved that the deal fell through. It would've been about 2 years of remodels - that would admittedly result in a GORGEOUS house, and we're a bit tired. So - as a result, we can now pick back up on our plans for numerous road trips throughout the year to explore our fabulous country. Now to pick the first destination... In this heat, I have to say that water/mountains are calling.
