August- The Best Month Of Them ALL!!!!

So maybe I'm a little bias but I can't help it, too much great stuff happens in the Month of August.

1st there is my Birthday on the 9th. I was able to take sometime off from work and go home to Memphis for about 6 days to help with my dad after his bike accident and celebrate over the weekend with Friends and Family. It was a great birthday. On Saturday, Ryan and I went shopping for a little bit and then he took me to Muddy's Bake Shop and got me Birthday Cupcakes. He even got me a birthday candle so I could make a wish and blow it out. They where amazing and if you know me at all you know I can be pretty obsessive about cupcakes. Isn't he such a sweet hubby!!! He also got us Carrie Underwood ticket for when she comes to Atlanta in October. I can not wait. Saturday night, my family (Mom, Dad, Meghan, and Brian), Ryan's Family (Marcia, Tom, Meredith, and Tom C.), Meredith, Sam, Taylor, Ryan, and I all went to the Rendezvous for dinner to celebrate my birthday. I could not have been happier to have so many family and friends come out for my Birthday. After dinner, everyone but the parents hit the town. We went to a few different bars downtown and of course ended up on Beale Street. It turned out to be a great birthday even though I was not too trilled about turn the Big 2-5!!

2nd there is our Anniversary. We made it thought 1 year of marriage!!! Yahoo!!! And what an incredible 1 year it was. I always here everyone talk about hard the 1st year of marriage is, but in my opinion it was a breeze, and it might just be because Ryan and I have been together for some time now. On the day of our anniversary, we got to do a lot of fun things we had wanted to do. In the morning we went this huge farmers market that they have here in Atlanta. It was amazing. There was everything and anything you could think of there and there where a lot of things that we had never seen before. After the farmers market, we went to see Toy Story 3 at the Fox Theater. It’s really cool to see movies at the Fox because it is the old theatre and the price of the movies is way cheaper than a regular movie theatre. After the movie, we went home and got ready for dinner. We went to a place called Canoe. It was amazing. For appetizers we had Quail and for dinner I had Rabbit and Ryan had Halibut. It was not to hot outside so we got to sit out on the patio and just enjoy each others company. Canoe is on the river, so after dinner we went out and took some pictures by the river. Once we got home we, Of course, did a little champagne toast and ate the top layer of our cake, which was actually still very very good and moist. I could not have asked for a more perfect day. I have so thankful to have such an Amazing Husband and we are just so blessed in the life God has given us. (Pictures to come)

3rd and finally was Christen and Colby’s BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING!!!! It was such an amazing day and Christen looked absolutely breath taking. When to doors of the Church open and Christen and her dad where standing there I looked back to see Colby’s reaction and he just said WOW!!! Wow was right! It was the prefect reaction. The wedding ceremony was so cool. We had never been to a Greek Wedding before and there Traditions are really special. Everyone danced the night away at the reception and we had such amazing time catching up with everyone and celebrating in the Joy of Christen and Colby’s marriage.
