As soon as I got home, my mama, sis, and I headed to Tybee Island for a little beach trip. It was good, redneck fun. ;) I'm really grateful to have had time to spend with them--we never get time just the three of us! Plus, the overcast weather led to much Sons of Anarchy watchin.' :)
We drove back on Saturday for my cousin Stevie's wedding:
my beautiful cousin, Stevie, and her new husband, Josh
Mama, Kate, and me at the wedding
the bride with her two sisters (we're all girl cousins on my mama's side!)
sisters: Aunt KK, Aunt Pat, my mama
uncles ;)
Daddy and me
The wedding was beautiful and fun, and the next day I got to hold this sweet baby (my cousin Jennifer's half-sister's brand new daughter):
Emma Kate: 6 lbs 12 oz of CUTENESS
Today, after accompanying Jason, one of my bffs, to his radiation treatment (he has testicular cancer; he's gonna be fine, and he has the most incredible attitude about it), we stopped for brunch at Social House, where I had the southernest of breakfasts:
fried green tomato crepes, cheese grits, sweet tea
And then I spent the afternoon with my 91 year old grandmother, who advised that instead of seeking romance and passion, I begin to look for a man who is "rather dull."
Off for a ride on my dad's Harley . . . so grateful he's willing to feed the obsession!

I would do anything to have that breakfast plate in front of me right this moment. SO hungry! There's nothing like Southern food :) Although, I would have to add some sausage to my order ;)
