Savannah, Anniversary, and 1st Movie

at our B & B
So, I have been super busy and haven't got to post. I have been in Savannah for the weekend with my cousin, Julie. She came in from Dallas and just suggested that we go somewhere cool. We started looking through all of cottage living's places to visit lists and thinking of where we could drive to. She had "ramblin' fever" and I was happy to go along for a relaxing girls weekend. We walked and ate and looked at awesome architecture. I wanted all those old Victorians and awesome buildings.
We went to and old bakery and architectural salvage yards. We went to antique stores and little cute boutiques. I would recommend the Paris Market to anyone that goes to Savannah. So Chic!

But most of all we just talked and talked and talked. 10 plus hours in the car and all that time walking the city and still had stuff to talk about on the way home. We ate at Rosa Mexicana in Atlanta on our way home and the table side guac was awesome. Then we figured "what the heck" we still have daylight "where else can we go". We had read about this city that was featured in Cottage living as top 10 communities of 2007. It was about 30min back south of Atlanta but we decided to do it. It was so unexpected. We were griping aobut seeing cows and peach stands and how there could never be anything good "in the sticks". Well, wrong again. I want to live there. check out the website. www.serenbe.com

It is what every mom wants---city work, country home, coffee shop and salon 4 houses down, and a sense of community. We wished we had went earlier.

Lucky for me Matt did not get mad that I was gone for girls weekend the day before our anniversary-which was Monday. 6 Years. He was so sweet. He had paid for one of our nights at a super nice Hampton on the water in Savannah. He also got me gift cards to greenlife,rock creek,and Rembrandts. He also had a bottle of wine and some cheese and had picked up dinner. Mom was our babysitter and we just hung out at home and watched movies. It was great. He really does know me so well.


Arden and I went to her first movie theater movie last night. We have been prepping her for awhile by watching Madagascar 1. She was really happpy to get popcorn and a drink and go to a big movie. She did shout out once or twice to say "oh my goodness, Ma." It would have been fairly cheap only 5.50 for me and she was free--but who can skip the popcorn. I love to get popcorn at movie theater. So many exciting things lately.
