Savannah Trip

Last weekend Andrew & I took our 1 year anniversary trip. It seems like it was forever ago! I think that means I need another vacation, right? Yes. Thank you.

Our first stop was the Paula Deen restaurant "Lady & Sons" on Friday night. We made a reservation online a couple weeks before so we got right to our table when we arrived. This picture is inside the elevator we took to the 3rd floor where our table was. My advice is get the buffet. It has everything on it you could want!

See told you! How delicious does that plate look?! All the southern food you could want & sweet tea. & it was all by candlelight. So cute! The mashed potato's were THE best mashed potato's I have ever had. I am not kidding you. They also give you a garlic cheese biscuit and a "hoecake" when you are first seated. The hoecake, otherwise known as cornbread, was amazing. It takes me back to when I was younger, when my Papa & Mema would make corn bread like this and give me syrup to eat it with. Delicious. Also on a side note, forget your "diet" when you go to this restaurant.

 & of course I had to come home with some goodies from the Paula Deen store! They had all kinds of adorable southern stuff for your kitchen. I could've bought it all! I have decided I am going to be one of those nerd who brings home a magnet on every trip we take. So DUH I had to get the cute little Hey Y'all skillet magnet!

After dinner Friday night we took a walk around downtown Savannah, down to the river. Sight seeing the downtown area would probably be better during the day. Some parts are really nice and then you turn the corner and its sketch city. Which I guess most downtown areas are like that. But thats ok I had my 6'4 hunk of a hubs to protect me. :)

Occasionally my husband lets me catch some silly pictures of him. Then he acts surprised when they end up on social media?? Why I do not know. He knows I love pictures and sharing them with the internet world. lol.

 Andrew found this little barbeque place for us to eat lunch at Saturday afternoon. Sandfly Bar-B-Q
If you are visiting Savannah GO HERE. SO GOOD. & its a cute little hole in the wall kinda place too. We always make it a point to go to local restaurants when we go on vacation. & we usually always end up at a bque place at some point. We love bque! Who am I kidding we just love FOOD. Relaxing & food. Thats what are vacations are for. #foodies

Saturday afternoon I surprised Andrew with a couples massage. Obviously I have no pictures from that. Because I was too busy drooling all over myself! Ha! No kidding. If you have never got a massage go do yourself a favor and invest in one. You will thank me. & we got an amazing deal on the massage that we weren't expecting! Score!

Saturday night before we went out to dinner. Shirt - Forever 21. Courtesy of my bestie Bri since she gave me a F21 gift card for Christmas :) Necklace F21 also. Earrings - H&M. I don't do a lot of outfit selfies. or #OOTD pics. Whatever you wanna call them. Because lets be real.... I usually look like a bum. Except on vacations & most weekends. I snazz it up a little bit ;)

Like I said. We go on vacations to eat. We did make it a chain restaurant Saturday night. Chilis.
This would be their new Reese's Molten Lava Cake. Yes I know. My mouth is watering right now too. We cleaned that plate in about 1 to 2 minutes tops. Not kidding. Do yourself a favor & go getchoo one!

& of course we had to stop at Bass Pro on our way home. Which I'm not complaining because it was attached to a mall where I went to Victoria Secret an bought myself some new body spray. AND had a $10 coupon they sent me for my bday! Its a win win. (my birthday is the 13th just FYI)


We needed this trip. It was so relaxing and fun. We are so busy most of the time with life we rarely just get to sit down and enjoy each others company. We laughed so much. Thats the best part to me. Just laughing & having a good time with my husband. Andrew is my best friend & I couldn't imagine spending my life with anyone else. I can't wait for our next trip! He says we are going South next year. So maybe The Keys or somewhere on the Gulf in Florida? We will see. :)

Our 1 Year Anniversary!

Yesterday was mine & the hubs 1 year anniversary! I cannot believe its already been that long! Time goes by way too fast. We are taking a trip to Savannah GA this Friday but we wanted to do something on our actual anniversary too.

fancy ferry stickers!

about to pull off!

it was quite chilly & windy!

he hates pictures... :)

Pretty much since we had been dating I have wanted to go on the ferry. I really wasn't even aware of the ferry until I started dating Andrew. & how I have been a Florida resident my whole life and never road the ferry I have no idea. I gotta get out more! I have road the ferry in NYC though. That counts right?!
It was quite smelly right before we were taking off. I don't know if it was all the pelican poop on the dock or the fish. But it was rank! Once we got going it went away though. :) It was only about a 5 minute ride but it was fun! I am easily amused. & I'm sure I looked like a tourist taking all the pictures but then again I take pictures everywhere I go so whatev!

Singletons Seafood Shack!

Not even trying to eat healthy on my anniversary! Delicious 

Source:Google. I forgot to take a pic of the restaurant so heres one!

It is literally a shack! But it is some of THE best seafood you will ever taste in your life! We got through about half of that platter. Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs obviously. But it was still delish. :)

After lunch we did a little shopping and went to a movie. Movies are super cheap on Sundays FYI!

Of course I had to reminisce on some of my favorite shots from our wedding. :) I wish I could go back in time and relive that day all over again! It was THE happiest moment of my life. Everything was absolutely perfect. I love my hubs more than anything in this world. I can't wait to spend many more years with him. :)

Rustic DIY Furniture Projects

It has been a good Monday! Why? Because I know I only have to work 4 days this week then I am off to Savannah for mine & the hubs anniversary trip! Can't wait!

I wanted to share some pictures with you guys. I mentioned in this post that I was working on some furniture projects. We had a BIG dresser and 2 night stands to paint for our bedroom. I LOVE the rustic look that is ever so popular right now. It is ALL over Pinterest. I've got some other ideas swimming around in my head for furniture projects but this is what I have finished for now.

Finished project in our bedroom. Excuse the non matching curtains

Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics. All I can say is it is a whole lot of work to DIY! Well more time consuming that anything. But it was worth it. I love these pieces of furniture. And it was WAYYYY cheaper than going out and buying new furniture. Especially the rustic style furniture. A lot of people are overpricing that stuff right now just because its popular.

Have you ever tried some DIY furniture projects from Pinterest? How did they turn out?

Hope you are having a wonderful Monday!
