Foilage at its finest

Our mountain house...

Rehearsal dinner site...The Pavilion
BEAUTIFUL view of the Carolina mountains...

Well, I am off to the mountain house in Wolf Laurel, NC this afternoon. It's finally Valerie and Jack's wedding weekend!!! We are all so excited, and know it's going to be such a fabulous time! I am certainly doing my rain dance already as weatherman Ray is calling for showers (insert thumbs down). There is a big front coming through, but we are all dancing to the rain God's for nothing but cool weather and plenty of SUNSHINE! Until next week...above is a sneek peak of the beauty that is to come over the weekend.

weekend recap

This past weekend was overall very chill. Matt was in Nashville for the weekend, so I enjoyed a night with my sis on Friday...her last weekend as a single gal! Then there was Saturday's venture out. U2 was in town!! I've had tickets since April, and honestly wasn't really super pumped about the show. I think maybe because I wasn't a huge fan growing up. But I must say that I am SOOO glad I went. It was hands down one of the BEST concerts I have been to! Amazing seats, amazing stage set up (the space ship) and amazing tunes!


my date for the evening...Monica!

I had a very sweet surprise when I got home last night from dinner with some girlfriends. There was a beautiful bouquet of pink and white roses waiting for me in the kitchen. Matt definitely scored some brownie points on that one!

wedded bliss

It's official. Matt and I's wedding is going to be featured in the upcoming Spring/Summer issue of The Knot (NC)!!! I got the call yesterday to confirm our story and verify some information. Our photographer, Brooke Mayo (www.brookemayoblog.com), submitted our photos after the wedding and we got picked! Shortly after, I had to complete a very in-depth 8 page questionnaire, which basically had me reliving the past year with planning every single detail! But I actually had fun doing that :) The issue hits shelves December 28th, and we'll also be featured on their website. I have no clue which pictures will be chosen (which kind of frightens me!) I'm having nightmares that the one of Matt carrying me on his back is going to make the cut...for some reason I really dislike this picture!

Here's a very small sampling with some of my faves!

Pumpkin Patch part 2

Here are a few snapshots from our trip to the Farmers Market yesterday. The trip was a success as we found multiple mums and pumpkins, and even a barrel of hay to add to our display. The bird feeder ones I took in our backyard. I was up in the kitchen, looking at our window and noticed how delicious the sun looked shining through the trees, so thought I would mess around with some settings on the good 'ol Nikon.

oh...husbands! gotta love 'em

So, last night I come home from being out. I'm standing around talking to Matt, and all the sudden he sort of interupts me and goes, "where did you get those earrings?" Standing there a little caught off guard, I simply reply back with "in NYC...why"? Now mind you, the boy hardly ever notices anything I am wearing, especially my jewelry! He starts questioning me, going "really Paige, where did you get those?" I'm laughing at this point because I'm starting to see where this is going. And finally he says it "those are David Yurman earrings, aren't they?!!" A) I'm quite impressed because he knew what they looked like, and B) Should I go along with this and let him think that I would actually have the nerve to spend $1100 on a pair of EARRINGS??!! Don't get me wrong, I love to shop, but not that much! According to him, I would be 6ft under if that were the case, and probably camping out in the dog house (aka-our new shed). So my $20 "fake" DY that look identical to these real ones below, are looking better and better.

Anyway- we both got quite a chuckle out of it!

A Fine Frenzy "Blow Away"

it's one of those songs that makes you want to open the sunroof, roll the windows down and just b-bop your way down the road.

FINALLY...Happy Weekend!!

Pumpkin Patch

Ahhh...this might just be my new favorite tradition of the year. For the past couple years, well, ever since we've had the house, I truely look forward to the first Saturday of Fall. It's the day that I can finally venture to the Farmers Market to pick out Mums and Pumpkins for our front porch display :) Matt thinks I'm crazy...but I'm just slightly obsessed! I scour the pumpkin patch for just the right ones...and of course have to throw in a few of the white ones. OH- and we cannot forget about Starbucks' "Pumpkin Spice Latte" that accompanies me while on this trip! Stay tuned for pictures over the weekend....

Happy 'almost' Friday everyone!
