Luau!

WOW...I have so much to blog about...its hard to decide which one to post first! I'm gonna keep you waiting on the one I talked about earlier, although I am very gald to see some new faces on the followers list! Thanks guys! Nathan is in Georgia for his vacation and this past Friday we had our first shower! It was a couple's shower hosted by some of my wonderful family and friends! The theme was a luau and we had a blast! Nathan got to meet many of my friends that had not yet had the chance to meet him, and I got to catch up with old friends! It was so great to see all of their faces and hear about the things that have been going on in their lives! We were outside by the pool, which was very nice! The decorations were so cute and very colorful! My Aunt Barbara made a fruit volcano, which was pretty awesome! We chowed down on a Low Country Boil, complete with shrimp, sausage, potatos, and corn....YUMMY! Everyone was dressed in brightly colored clothes, and there was even a hawaiian shirt or two in the crowd! Nathan and I recieved so many wonderful gifts from our friends and family, and we cant wait to put all of them to good use, but the most precious gift of all was the time and effort put in by all of the people who gave and attended the shower! We are soooo blessed and we love all of you very very much! I decided to post a few pics form the Luau...Enjoy!

Blog....please???!! :)

Hello everyone!! So this is just a short blog to encourage participation! As I was watching the live feed and saw all the visitors that we get to the blog I got excited. It is so awesome to see so many visitors..and then I thought to myself..."Self, wonder why a lot of the visitors haven't become "followers" or why they haven't left comments?" I would love to be able to put a name or a face to the many numbers of people that visit the blog! For those of you that don't know me, I am very much a "people person." I love meeting new people ....even the crazy ones (example, Nathan.)LOL.... So I've decided to post a fun blog soon, but in order for it to be fun we are going to need a lot of "follower" participation. The blog is already written and waiting to be posted! So if you visit the blog but have not signed up to be a follower, or have not been feeling too much like participating, please do! Let's see if we can get some more faces on here!! : ) Nathan and I love hearing from you all, and I promise if you comment, we will comment back! As soon as we get some more faces I'm gonna post that blog I was talking about earlier! Hope to see your smiling faces soon : )

Lasts....and Firsts: )

Well yesterday was my last birthday as Kelly Williams...Next year, I will be Kelly Williams FAUSCETT!! Seems strange to think about the fact that so much will have changed by then, and its only a year away! This got me to thinking about all the "lasts " I will be experiencing, a lot sooner than even I could imagine. Like my last night in my house on Callaway Cr in Valdosta, the town I have called home for almost 8 yrs, my last dinner with Mindy at Ichiban (our favorite place to eat), my last night leading the Youth Group at the Winner's Church (that will be tough),Last time people will refer to the three amigos (me, Kate, and Mindy) as "the girls"(cause I will be an old married lady LOL!), my last day of work at Positive Solutions, the last dinner date with Jenny and Jessica (at least in Nashville Ga...there will be some in Nashville TN no doubt, right ladies?), my last night spent in my parents home as a single woman, last day of chasing Ozzie down blue pool only to find him safe and sound... again.... in my neighbor's yard (my little Houdini), last time Pastor Billy will have to "come armed" to chase away strangers from my house, last time I will say "my Fiance" (cause he will be my hubby!!)....and so many more that I won't even list cause I'm already crying! But the good thing about lasts is that they are always followed by "firsts!! "YAY!! Like, being Nathan's wife (a first and last all in one, LOL), My very own wedding, hearing " You may kiss the Bride" and I'm "The Bride", Our first dance as man and wife, looking for our new home together....and being first time home owners, Learning a new city (inside and out, which I'm sure will be more difficult than learning Valdosta, No doubt), coming home to my Hubby for the first time, signing Kelly Fauscett, Our first Christmas as a married couple, Having our first child (think WAAAAAY in the future people :) ), Our first family vacation....and soooo many more that haven't even occurred to me yet! So if you are like me and the lasts seem to get you down, focus on the firsts, that make "life happen", and then you realize you wouldn't trade a single first for a single last!

Road trip??? Girls Weekend!!

Well I decided for whatever reason that this had been an uneventful summer, why I came to that conclusion I haven't a clue because I have been plenty busy....So Mindy and I decided to hit the road on last Thursday afternoon and surprise Nate and the rest of the gang in Opp, Al! We got there about 3 hrs before the concert began which gave us some time to spend with Nathan and Ben who were still setting up! The concert was wonderful and it was good to be able to spend a brief moment after the concert catching up with the girls! We wanted to get back to Georgia at a decent hour so that we would be well rested for part two of the trip on Friday. Mindy and I had agreed to dog sit for Kate and her parents in Savannah and we decided to squeeze in some fun while we were at it! I called one of my bridesmaids and best friends from home and asked her to join us. She decided it was just what the doctor ordered and by 5 we were all in Savannah and ready to see what there was to get into. After filling Susan in on all the wedding plans we decided to try some Moroccan Cuisine at a restaurant in the downtown area called "Casbah!" It was soooo much fun and very delicious! The place was dimly lit and elaborately decorated with all sorts of Moroccan accents. We were greeted by our wait staff who were all dressed the part, and super courteous! It is a Moroccan custom to have your hands washed before and after the meal with a special citrus water of sorts! It became very interesting when the waiter explained to us that Moroccans also use the bathroom and spit in these same washing pots, after he began washing our hands! We were very glad to hear that he was just joking! It became even more interesting after he began washing Mindy's hands while explaining what was in the water, and I shouted "Oh my gosh! She's allergic to lemon!" This was the perfect payback for the joke he had played on us ...you should have seen the panic on his face until we all busted out laughing! Then the entertainment began, complete with a live belly dancer who was amazing! We all enjoyed lamb kabobs, saffron rice, specially prepared green beans, and carrots, and cous cous! It was very tasty and very different than anything I had tried before! We then said farewell to Casbah and headed out to get lost! Which we did very well! We were trying to get to River Street but walked in the wrong direction...Thanks Susan...lol...no actually it was a collaborative effort! After being lost in downtown Savannah for about 45 min, which was spooky, we finally found Spanky's on River Street (along with Mindy's younger cousins and Aunt and Uncle) where there was karaoke!! YAY!! We sang our hearts out and had a wonderful time : ) We did some duets which Mindy's cousin Kelly joined in on and Susan even sang a solo, that was very beautiful I might add! After deciding to leave we realized due to the fact that we had gotten lost we had no idea how to get back to our car, not to mention the fact that Susan and Mindy wore the WRONG shoes to get lost in! The pics will prove it! We had a nice cab driver take us back to our car and we drove back to Kate's singing some more "car karaoke." All in all it was a ton of fun!!!! Mindy and I will be heading to Brandon, Fl for the Fourth to see Tammy and her family and hopefully we can convince Tammy to blog all about it!

Us outside the Restaurant!!

Ready to eat : )
