Weekend Recap

Tomorrow I will officially turn 3-1. Blah. However, it's nice to be surprised and made to feel special from time to time. This past weekend, I went to Savannah to see David and to be his date for his friend's wedding. Wouldn't you know that he had a few pre-birthday surprises for me when I got there late Friday evening! I was totally not expecting it. He had gone all around town securing some of my favorite treats. He knows that I have an unhealthy love for the Savannah Candy Kitchen, so he was sure to pick up two of my favorite things- gophers and salt water taffy. David then went above and beyond the call of duty when he drove clear across to the other side of town to get me an extra special treat. One that I had never had. Enter Gigi's Cupcakes.

Oh. My. Goodness. He "done good" is all I can say. He knows I am a big fan of lemon, so he got me the lemon icebox cupcake, as shown below.

It was very, very tasty. But the big winner, winner chicken dinner was the lemon cheesecake cupcake. I couldn't find a picture on their website, which was sad because this thing was AMAZING! I mean amazing. So, if you find yourself near a Gigi's Cupcake store, stop by. It's totally worth it. And by reading Gigi's story, I can tell that she is a woman of great faith with a great story. Even better!

 I may {or may not} have had a cupcake for breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, but I'm not fessing up to it. Oh, what the heck. Yeah I will. It's my birthday and I'll eat cupcakes for breakfast if I want to!

Saturday evening we got all dressed up and headed over to the wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony. I of course cried, and I didn't even know the people getting married. But it was such a sweet service. My favorite part was that it was at -wait for it- a museum!

I took my point and shoot camera, but I don't have it with me right now, so you will have to settle for this crappy iPhone picture. The wedding and reception was at the Roundhouse Railroad Museum in Savannah.

The reception was held in the room pictured above, which looked to be an old workshop of sorts. Click on the link for Elizabeth Ann Designs for photos of another wedding that took place there. It was really neat and unexpected. I loved it! Plus, there was the opportunity to walk around and look at all the history displays. Right up my alley!

The rest of the weekend was low-key. We mostly spent our time trying to tame this beast and his brother:

JJ looks all innocent until there is a Golden Retriever thrown into the mix. Poor Mox was bombarded by Thing 1 and Thing 2 aka the dachshund brothers. The boys weren't very welcoming to Mox. Especially Brutus. He can be quite mean when he wants to be.

Sunday, David treated me to lunch down at Tybee Island and for a walk on the beach.

It was fabulous and I enjoyed every minute out there walking hand in hand with my handsome and sweet man.

That's about all I have for you today. Sorry I've been MIA here lately. It's been a super busy couple of weeks but nothing of note to blog about.

Hope you all had a great weekend!
