Love, love, love October. It's one of my favorite months of the year. Here's what I'm looking forward to this October.
1. This first beautiful weekend of October finds us working a wedding which we love to do. This beautiful bride lives in California but will come back to her hometown to wed the man of her dreams. I can hardly wait to see this wedding unfold.
2. Sunday morning, D and I, along with another couple, will fly to the great state of Texas for what we are calling our "Taste of Texas Tour." That's right, friends and neighbors, we are eating our way through Texas. We are all four big foodies so we had the idea to visit the restaurants recommended by food guru, Guy Fieri of Diner, Drive-in and Dives fame on the Food Network. We have tracked down all of his recommendations in the great cities of Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and South Padre Island. We actually have an eating itinerary. Let the fun begin!
3. On October 10th, my baby will turn 24 years old! What a joy this child is to me, his dad and our family. Love you bunches, G!
4. On the 15th, Mother and I will take a day trip with one of the local banks up in the mountains. We'll visit a winery for a tasting (at 10:00 in the morning no less); eat lunch at Glen Ella Springs and stop at a local pottery. Yes, I'm pretty sure you're officially old when you start taking day excursions on buses. But that's okay, Mother is beyond excited.
5. On the 19th, we'll see one fabulous couple get married! We have loved the planning with this sweet bride and groom. This one is going to be amazing!
6. On the 20th, a local church has asked me to join them for an author event they are holding in conjunction with their Sunday morning services. I haven't quite come to terms with the whole "author" thing since my book is a cookbook. I'm honored that they thought to invite me. I'm so looking forward to it.
7. Oh, that reminds me. The cookbooks are scheduled to arrive the week of October 14th. I'm excited and nervous.
8. On the 25th, a friend and I are heading down to Stone Mountain for the Country Living Fair. I have wanted to go to this for years. I have no idea what kind of treasures we might find but I can hardly wait to begin the hunt.
9. For some the 31st means Halloween. For our family, it means we leave to go to the Georgia Florida game for the weekend! Go Dawgs!
10. Our oldest furry girl is with child so we are anxiously anticipating the arrival of little furry babies the end of this month. We go for a sonogram in two weeks. I cannot wait to see what a doggie sonogram even looks like. This is so exciting!
Happy October!!

Week Recap!
I know y'all have been wondering where I went. Last Friday morning, D and I headed to Chattanooga for the weekend. Friday was his birthday so we were celebrating that as well as attending our close friends' son's wedding on Saturday evening. Short story: Chattanooga was fabulous! Great city with lots of cool shops and restaurants. Wedding was gorgeous! We had a great time.
This week has been a whirlwind of several interesting things:
Monday: I had a great lunch with a new friend. What a blessing for God to plop down someone in your life who you instantly love and enjoy. I also had my hair colored (see Wednesday). :)
Tuesday: This day was jam packed full of what I call "Mother" activities. My sweet momma had a doctor's appointment so we decided to do lunch first at Banterra (this is what my momma calls Panera for some unknown reason) with G, along with some errands. After that, I came home to prepare Darrell's birthday dinner. So fun celebrating my sweet husband with the family.
Wednesday: The morning was full of preparations for a photo shoot with the editor/photographer for the local "Home Magazine." They have been kind to ask me to be appear in the November/December issue. They were coming to the house so I needed to prepare two dishes: a Thanksgiving entrée and Christmas dessert. I also had to have my house clean and look presentable. Believe me, it took most of the day.
Thursday: After a meeting with this weekend's bride and her mom, I began to feel a little queasy. Then a lot queasy. By lunch time, I had a full-on stomach bug that lasted well into the night last night. THANKFULLY, I feel much better.
And that brings us to today. We are looking forward to a beautiful wedding this weekend. It's at our local Chattahoochee Country Club. The ceremony is going to be outside on the lawn near the lake which will be beautiful. I do believe the weather is going to cooperate.
Okay, with all that said, I've got to go and prepare for this wedding. Oh and by the way, we are going out of town Sunday morning for a week full of vacation! I'll be back to give you details about that shortly.
Happy Friday!
