9 Years of Wedded Bliss!

This weekend dh and I celebrated our 9th Anniversary.  Wow!  9 years and considering that we were married on the 9th Anniversary of our 1st date and 18 years later we are still celebrating and having fun, I am blessed!  Dh said to me that it really doesn't feel like it's been that long.  I agree.  It's like the saying/song (if you are a Janet Jackson fan you'll know the song), "Funny how time flies when you're having fun!" 

To celebrate we went for a Weekend Getaway to a small Bed and Breakfast about an hour from home.  The town, I must say left a bit to be desired, but the Bed and Breakfast (Maison LaVigne) was very nice and we were spoiled by the owner Eileen Reichman.  She prepared dinner and breakfast for our stay.  It was wonderful. 

We had a great time.  We walked around the town which is quite abandoned but it was interesting walking around and learning about the area and how it once was, how it is and how it is starting to grow again..with more people and businesses starting to move back into the area.  Before now, I had never really been in an area that looked abandoned. The owner of the B&B loves it and wouldn't imagine moving.

Anyway, here are a few pictures from the weekend.

The Maison LaVigne

Beautiful

A Table for Two

The Appetizer: Shrimp with mango and guacomole!  YUMMY!

Main Course: Filet Mignon, Whipped Potatoes, Asparagus and Mushrooms.  SCRUMPTIOUS. The Chef calls the Filet Mignon cooked Medium Perfect and it was.

After Dinner Salad with cheese, which we were told is the tradition in France.  TASTY.

Dinner was simply DELICIOUS!  Dessert was cheesecake with fresh strawberries and chocolate(I forgot to take a picture...I think I was over photo taking at this point..I almost forgot to take a picture each time..but you know I've got to do a layout of the weekend!  LOL!).  At the end of this anniversary meal we were stuffed!  LOL!  It was truly a wonderful meal.

The next morning we awoke to a wonderful breakfast of quiche, muffins, grits, yogurt with granola and fruit and mini toast with rhubarb jelly.  YUM!

It was a great weekend, a wonderful celebration.  Another year, celebrating our love.

Catching You Up on the Happenings!

Ok...so I've been quite busy lately.  We are down to the last few days before exhibiting at the Simply Southern Scrapbook Convention in Nashville, TN.  I've been busy prepping my class materials and everything for the Classy Coordinates Booth.  I'm so excited!  Be sure to stop by the booth if you will be attending.  Stay tuned for updates on the convention.

On to the updates of what else has been happening:

Well, the 2nd Anniversary Crop was simply FANTASTIC!!!  We had a packed house and tons of fun!  You would never believe how much stuff we gave away on top of the PACKED goodie bags everyone received.  It was simply an event to remember.  I even had 3 people serenade me and one did a dance to receive a prize!  Can you say FUN!!! We had too much FUN!!!  I cannot wait till next year.  Here are a couple photos from this years event.  Explanation of the photos: Photo 1 - Frenzy for FREE eyelets at the Classy Coordinates Table.  Photo 2 - The Make N Take at Classy Coordinates.  Photo 3 - Classy Scrappers in Attendance pose with me..they've got jokes!.  Photo 4 - We had a male cropper who attended with his wife!  He was a good sport, posing in his Bazzill Bling Tshirt and with his Prize Bag!  Last Photo - Roz and Melissa making the Outrageous Daisy Make N Take.

On to more news in Classy Scrappin'!  I just had the pleasure of hosting the 2nd Monthly Classy Crop at The Scrapbook Store in Canton, GA.  Another full house event!  Yay!  I had the joy of croppin' with and meeting some wonderful ladies.
