Savannah & Tybee Island

I hope to be back to my {semi} regular blogging soon.  

The craziness that I alluded to in February is still going on. Last week we got news of something scheduled at the end of May, coincidentally on my birthday, which hopefully means there's an end in sight. Fingers crossed that it will be great news and a wonderful birthday present!  

That, together with work being crazy busy {in a good way!} and getting engaged {!!!} and trying to plan a wedding before the end of the year, makes life a bit nutty.

For now, please enjoy some pretty photos from our weekend in Savannah.  

Also, if anyone has any tips for planning a wedding with a short engagement, please share!

This was the airport.  I knew Savannah would be adorable!

Savannah engagement

We're back from Georgia and I've got loads of gorgeous photos that I still need to sort though.  

Probably my favorite though, is this one:

Taken right after we got ENGAGED!!!!

I didn't cry, at least not right away.  It all happened so fast.  We were taking photos of this adorable square in the middle of Savannah and then he was down on one knee.  

I didn't believe it was real.  I thought he was joking.  Literally, I asked him if he was.  And then thought, "if he is, this is a really mean joke."  

But he wasn't.  And then I said yes. :)

We've been engaged a week and random thoughts keeping popping up in my head, some are funny, some bring tears to my eyes, all make me smile.

"We get to live together!"

"I'm going to be Dan's wife!"

"We're getting married."

"Oh my gosh, I have to dance in front of tons of people!"

"We get to register!"

"My Dad's going to walk me down the aisle." Followed by: "I'm going to cry."

"I get to buy a dress!"

"I'm going to introduce him as my husband!"

Words cannot express how full my heart is and how excited I am that it's for real that I get to spend my future with this man.

I don't know how I got so lucky.

weekend {travel}

We're off to Savannah tonight for the a long weekend and then to Augusta next week for the Masters.

I'm looking forward to drinking sweet tea (and wine) on this porch and waking up to this breakfast:

This was me packing a few nights ago.

Please don't judge the disastrous state that my room is in. 

Does anyone else get distracted while packing and just start trying on random clothes?

I had thrown on my sweats for the packing process; then found my hat when I pulled out my suitcase; then stumbled upon one of my favorite blouses from London, that I hadn't seen in while.

For whatever reason I decided at that point that I should start breaking in my bridesmaid shoes.

Then I turned around and caught myself in the mirror.  I thanked my lucky stars that Dan wasn't at my house to witness this.  Then decided to post the photo on instagram.

It wasn't until after that I noticed Pacino in there too. :)

Have a lovely weekend!

P.S. This outfit did not come with me to Savannah. Check out Monday's post to see a few things that did.

savannah, georgia - booked!

We just bought our tickets to Georgia!  Dan's parents have tickets to Augusta in April. We thought we'd make a long weekend of it and visit Savannah too.

Savannah is one of those places where whenever I hear the name, there's a little sigh in my heart.  I have no idea why or how it even started. But I have always always wanted to go there.

Do you have a place like that?

I hope so.

I love the look of the old victorians and the big wraparound porches.

We just started looking at places to stay. 

Forsyth Park Inn looks really nice, but I would love to hear any and all suggestions!

Isn't that the sweetest porch?

I am definitely looking forward to some good southern eats,  so any tips would be greatly appreciated too!
