Away we go..

It's been only eighteen days since the proposal but already much has happened. After setting a July 9th date, yes, less than three months away, it has been a mad dash toward the big day!

We traveled to Memphis to do a little wedding shopping last week and while there we ate at a wonderful restaurant, Trolley Market. In addition to yummy lunch plates and sandwiches they also sell flowers and produce. When I asked about if they had a whole wheat bun to go with my turkey burger the baker came out with a piping hot bun made from the freshest local ingredients and asked if that would be ok; um... yes!!


In addition to our Memphis trip we have held a panning meeting with our bridesmaids and wedding coordinators, confirmed all of our attendants, registered for shower gifts,  enjoyed a cake testing, and we are hopefully meeting with the caterer this weekend. In other words, it's wedding central at the
Anthony's house! 

The men around here have also been very busy!!
Daddy came up to Clinton last weekend to help Cliff fix a few things that had long been neglected. After fixing the gutter that had fallen in the storm Daddy bought Cliff an early wedding present, a lawn mower!! A much needed lawn mower!! He and Daddy worked really hard on the yard and it looks great! But the major changes are happening down in Poplarville at Mom and Dad's backyard. With the help of a friend from church they are building a pergola for the bridal party to stand under during the wedding ceremony! Daddy has worked so hard and it is looking fantastic! I can not wait to see the finished result. What precious men I have in my life! Momma always said to us girls that we should not marry anyone unless they are as sweet as our Daddy. It took me 31 yrs to find him but I finally did.


I am so blessed to have such amazing friends and family in my life that are surrounding me with so much help and love during this planning process. It is all coming together and the big day will be here soon!! Meanwhile the mad race to the finish line continues!
