Happy Anniversary...a few months early! :)

I know it's been a while since I have posted but things have been kind of crazy around here lately! I have actually been doing a teacher's maternity leave at school and will do that thru the middle of May. It's definitely been alot more than I thought it was going to be but it's starting to even out now...it's for 4th grade and all of my teacher friends out there know that state testing is coming up so that takes up ALOT of our time. All I can say about that is YUCK! :)

Anyway, LK and I did manage to get away for a few days last week and we headed to what has become our new favorite place...Charleston! We had talked about taking an anniversary trip this summer since we will have been married for 5 years in July (no I can't believe that:). Well, we ended up planning it for the spring before things got too hot and crowded and we all know how busy summer can be sometimes. We are so glad we went when we did because the weather was absolutely perfect. I have to give credit where credit is definitely due because I had nothing to do with planning this trip. I found out a few weeks before where we were going but that's about all I knew. I wasn't even suppose to know that but Larkin accidentally let it slip one day and of course he felt terrible about it....he was so worried about somebody else letting it slip that it's just funny that he ended up being the one to say something (didn't think so at the time:) We got there Wednesday night and stayed through Saturday. We took a carriage ride tour Thursday morning to kind of get our "lay of the land" and then spent the rest of the time going back to places we had seen that morning. The shopping was great, the food incredible (thanks to Rachel's recs:) and the homes and landscaping absolutely beautiful...highly recommend it for your next trip! :)

The owner of Piggly Wiggly lives here...I mean I guess it's okay :)

Just a random shot...pretty much gives "the look" of the downtown

And last but not least, I have to say that the biggest and best surprise of the trip was when he handed me a ticket for the Carrie Underwood & Keith Urban concert. I had NO idea that we were going and I was beyond excited! I love their music and hoped that one day we might get to go to one of their shows...never dreamed of being able to see them both at the same time! It was so good!! She performed first and it sounded just like it does on the radio. He came on after her and was the nicest guy and put on the best show. You must go if you ever have the opportunity. It's one of the best concerts we have ever been to. And did I mention that our seats were on the 8th row?!?!? Yeh, he did real good ;)

We flew back into Memphis on Saturday morning and jumped in the car and headed to Starkville to celebrate one more anniversary..Sigma Chi ;) It was the 70th ann. of them being at State so we made it for part of the celebration weekend. It was fun and we loved staying with Kane, Katey & Camp...Kane had a big part in planning it and did a great job! There was a huge turnout and everybody seemed to have a good time. We did manage to grab a quick pic before the party that night...

So I definitely just think I made up for not blogging the past 3 weeks :) I have been tagged by Hailey on the "Who Are You?" game so I will be posting that in the next few days. Have a good one...
