Going to the Chapel..

Last weekend we celebrated Caroline and Justin's wedding. I will start with sharing some pics from the rehearsal dinner with you. The place was decorated with lots of Carolina blue and golf decor, it was too cute!

Girls Day

We decided that the Saturday before Caroline's BIG DAY the girls would do a 5K race in Wilson. Caroline, Angie, Mama and myself hit the road early Saturday morning. We had lots of fun and the fellowship after the race around a big plate at Cracker Barrel was heavenly!!

A Little Project

In honor of my 2nd wedding anniversary which is tomorrow I thought I would share a little project that I did with you. I had a monogrammed ribbon around my bouquet when I walked

down the aisle and I wanted to showcase it. As I was making my weekly rounds in blog land I saw where another southern girl had showcased the outfits her boys came home from the hospital in using a shadow box. I thought that will be perfect for my ribbon. I gathered material, the ribbon, a shadow box and my iron to start putting it all together. It was really easy and I love the way it turned out. The only dilemma now is where do I want to hang it???

I have been in a crafty mood over the past few weeks so stay tuned for some more projects. The spray paint has made it out of the garage!! :)

Happy 80th Birthday

Happy 80th Birthday Papa!! My Papa or James Henry as we fondly call him turned 80 years old today. We celebrated with the family on Sunday. Papa is truly a jack of all trades from fixing most anything to teaching scripture he has got you covered. Papa, we pray you have many more years!! We love you dearly.

That's My King

I watched this video for the first time on Friday and I have watched it at least 5 times since then. This sums up Easter to me and I am so glad to say

"That's My King".

Saturday night we went over to the Radford's house to celebrate Matthew's birthday and Easter. We had to do a little Easter egg hunt for Bailey. She absolutely loved hunting the eggs!

Easter Sunday with Dowdy

We hope that you had a wonderful Easter!

Showering the Brides to Be

I am a little behind times in the blog world. The weekend before last we celebrated with the brides to be, Caroline and Taylor. On Sunday Caroline had a shower at our home church in Kinston. She got lots of nice things. The countdown is on Caroline's big day is May 14th.

It has become a tradition with our group of girls to give a monogram shower. We had a lot of fun planning and throwing the shower for Taylor. She got some precious "B" things.

The letter "B" was everywhere!! :)

Ms.Judy and Taylor

God's Provision

On Saturday North Carolina experienced a line of horrific storms that included some violent tornados. The weather men were forecasting bad weather, but I am not sure that any warning could prepare us for what followed. We had enjoyed an afternoon tea in honor of Taylor at our house. Due to the weather report the girls that lived in Greenville quickly headed home, M, Jessica, Mom and Angie decided to stay until it passed. We were enjoying our time together when we heard on the news a tornado was headed towards downtown Wilson, Bryan immediately ordered us all into the hall. In a matter of minutes it turned dark and the wind picked up. The tornado passed through our neighborhood impacting the street behind us, the house 4 doors down from us and the street in front of us. God provided us with safety through the storm. There were many homes and business that were destroyed by this storm. Please pray that these people will find peace and strength during this time. I have included below a few pictures from Snow Hill.
