My latest obsession...

Pinterest

Between schooling, facebooking, pinning, and blogging, Zack thinks he's neglected.  (He forgets that he purchased all my tech gadgets).

Anyways, these are my favorite wedding-themed pins:

From the oh so fab, Jimmy Choo.  Modern, sleek, and perfect for my wedding day attire.  If only my pocketbook thought the same...

                                                                                                                          

This dress is courtesy of Thread Social.  If it wasn't currently sold out, this would be my ideal rehearsal dinner dress.  Ladies, Thread Social has some great little numbers for spring!

       

This is a picture from the wedding of the beautiful, Molly Sims.  If I could replicate this look for my bridesmaids, I would in a skinny minute.  If anyone can help me put a look together like this, I will pay.  Who needs 6 girls to look the exact same?  Not me!

 

This cake makes me want to drool.  Found at Luxe Finds.

These flowers would make even the flower gurus (my Mom and Grandma) proud!  

Well that is all for now...  I have less than 48 hours to daydream about weddings, fashion, my big girl life, and all things fun before school begins again!

God's Country

Many of you have heard this story, but it is one worth repeating....

I met Zack while in school at NC State.  On the weekends, we would go home to Zack's family farm.  Every Friday we would jump in the truck as soon as class was dismissed and head for Beulaville.  Just a few miles prior to our exit we would always pass the "Duplin County" sign on I-40 and Zack would always smile and say that we had made it back to "God's Country."  It is something that has always stuck with me because, at first, I didn't understand how he could love a place so much.  All I could think was there was no Starbucks, Target, or fine dining restaurant less than 20 minutes away.  But, "God's Country" has a way of sneaking up on you; it has a way of making you find the things that are important in life.  Granted, I will aways love a pair of 5in nude pumps, a fruity cocktail, and the city lights, but I have found home and I am counting the days until it is my permanent residence.... 

I took the pictures below this week at a piece of land owned by Zack's grandfather.  Each and every piece of land purchased by the family is given a name (usually, the name of the former owner).  This piece, however, has been named the "New Ground," and the name will stay the same even if it is passed down from one generation to the next.

   

Those babies in the distance above are hog houses!  (Soon, I will give everyone a closer look to dispel some of the common myths).
