Happy Easter

Jesus said: "I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die."

Christ is risen! We have seen the glory of God.


{John 11:25-26, 40}

If you are with family, or friends, I hope you have a wonderful day! I will be with family and that makes me grateful, as it does every year.

Muted Monday

My Gaga is a lovely lady - she is on the far right here (with my Mom and her sister N on Easter in 1979).


A great lady in my life is my Grandmama. She is a lovely person, too. (you know I had to throw in the picture of me as a bebe! ha!) <3


Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't.

-Margaret Thatcher



Another great lady is my Mother.

All are ladies as well as people who come from "good, hearty stock." They take pride in education, critical thinking and all the good things in life. They are powerful female figures in my life, while still being ladies, too! Love love love them all.

Reception location

The reception hall has been booked. The location is Evans Hall in the town where I grew up. The date is set for October 8, 2011! It is a gorgeous location with a lot of potential for it. Several of my Tweethearts / blog friends / real life friends know it inside and out. I thought I would share some great photos of it so you could see how it can be played...



The floor is all tiled black and white. So, no dance floor (apparently LOTS of people rent them for their wedding, never really thought about it until now??)! Also, lends itself to the more classic 30s-40s glam evening wedding reception we are going for.



I think Amid Privilege called the blue trim on the room Wedgwood blue. It is certainly not the W&L blue the campus is more familiar with, but with the white walls it lends a really lovely air of distinction!



Several childhood friends have already had weddings here (these pictures were from childhood friend Megan and Donny, who met in Middle School and dated starting then (in band class with me!!!)) [seen above]. It isn't original, but this location is nice for weddings where you want people to have a wonderful time, and walk to the wedding, reception, back to hotel (or B&B) if they can and NOT drive!



If you have any doubts - Miss Mindless is an alumnae and can attest to the fact that the building is fabulous!

Would love y'alls feedback, as I always do!! XOXO
