"My-My Key Lime Pie"

This past weekend the Hubby and I went to Brewton for the weekend. We enjoyed a wonderful Auburn Themed "Tailgate & Celebrate" engagement party for our friends Jeff & Kim. I was so disappointed that I didn't take any pictures, but we were just having too much fun catching up with our friends and the details of the wedding!


This weekend was very relaxing for us. . . .  We enjoyed spending the weekend at THE CABIN!! J.Jay's parents have built this quant little cabin on their land and I absolutely love spending the weekend there. Who can complain when you walk in and all your dreams come true and you have some how morphed into the Restoration Hardware/Pottery Barn magazine. . . . It is a vacation home at home. . . . I guess the new saying for that is "STAY-CATION." Next time we visit I will be sure to take pictures!!!


Sunday, after Church we enjoyed a delicious home cooked southern meal and to top it off with a
KEY LIME CAKE!!!  I have never really cared for Key Lime flavored deserts, but this is one that is a must.

1 (18.25 ounce) package lemon cake mix

As many of you know our wedding was such a special time for J.Jay and I and a true reflections of God's powerful work and love. It was one last time that all of us friends could spend with our dear friend BRITTANY.... It would be a wonderful memory for all of us to have our time spent together documented and let everyone know how Brittany touched the world! Also, having the memories of our wedding and love documented in this magazine would be a dream come true for us.
