this weekend

2009-10-21T08:20:00.000-07:00

friday night we celebrated beach side for mike's birthday, saturday we dined at the brick, shopped in avondale, saw where the wild things are w/ chris & leah, hit up tsi for the neon indian show, and then supported the movement at the jags game on sunday. not pictured: happy hour & $4 apps at the charthouse after the game with tiffany, wc, beth & tara FTW!

lets take a poll: big beard or small beard?

beach bash for mike

2009-10-21T08:07:00.000-07:00

sean and i "crossed the ditch" last friday to help ring in mike's 27th birthday. dinner at north beach bistro was delish, then fly's tie for a drink and a shot - sean's first time there!, and finally dancing the night away at the atlantic. lots of friends + lots of drinks + lots of dancing = mike's perfect night. i miss all my friends and the beach, but love how i can come back, give them a hug and it's like i never left. i definitely see more trips to the beach in my future :)

p.s. i have no idea who those girls are that mike is dancing with, i doubt he does either haha, and i love love love the last picture - two of my favorite people with big smiles on their faces.

amy & gil: the wedding

2009-10-21T07:35:00.000-07:00

mr. & mrs. gil samson were est. saturday, october 10, 2009! i am so happy sean and i were able to join the happy couple on their special day. the ceremony was short & sweet and oh so beautiful, amy looked amazing - a unique bride in true "amy" fashion, whitney's intro made me ball like a baby, the first kiss was adorable, and the live music performed by tito felix was priceless. "lady" by styx as she came down the aisle, and "all you need is love" by the beatles as the walked hand in hand as husband & wife.

the open bar was a hit, the food was yummy, and maid of honor casey's speech was perfect. as for austin & ryne's speeches . . . you'd have to hear it to believe it. there was a photobooth with props, adorable centerpieces made by the bride herself, dj joey marchy spinning and lots of dancing - luckily, amy & i had both changed shoes half way into the night :)

the night ended at tsi with the bride still in her wedding dress, lots of champagne, a dash of drama and lots of good memories. it was an amy & gil "party" for the history books. congrats again & enjoy your two weeks in italy!

to do: put my clothes away

2009-10-21T07:27:00.000-07:00

if joey saw this he would sing "on top of clothes mountain" to the tune of "on top of spaghetti". reason enough to leave it there?

i know famous people!

a huge congratulations to sean tucker & tim mcgugan of dog & pony showprints for being included not once, but twice!, in print magazine's 2009 regional design annual for their awesome design & screenprinting skills for local concert posters. one of the posters featured was a collab with my bestie karen kurycki using her beautiful watercolor work. i feel like a proud mama!

happy anniversary angie & taylor!

2009-10-12T11:17:00.000-07:00

i've had the one year anniversary of angie & taylor's (zeek) wedding on october 12 marked since the day we got back from their beautiful, super fun wedding in the outer banks, north carolina last year. looking through to find pictures for this post takes me back - the zebra school bus, time spent with old friends, dancing, drinking, flip cup, apples to apples, driving in the dunes (scaaary!), horses, seashore, lots & lots of sand and more. it was my first time in the outer banks, a great getaway with stef & mike, and a weekend full of memories i will never forget. i hope you two spent yesterday reminiscing about the fun everyone had on your special day and how lucky you are to have found one another :) happy anniversary angie & taylor! xoxo

fall is so scrumptious. it makes me want to cook creamy soups, redecorate my house, do festive arts and crafts, cozy up on the porch with a good book, and lay in the backyard with sean.

september 2009

2009-10-02T11:54:00.000-07:00

september was super packed with lots of fun stuff, so in an effort to save time & space, instead of several different posts i'm going to try to recap all the fun in just one. here we go . . .

jax beard "beards & brushes" show - 9/5

my bf sean started the jacksonville beardsmith society back in january 09 and this was by far his largest event for the club to date. i want to thank all of our friends who came out to support sean, new friends we made that night, and everyone who came out to support local art. joy from bogda gallery said it was her biggest opening of the year! click here for all my pics. i'm so proud of sean & look forward to more cool jax beard events coming soon. did someone say movember?

wekiva springs - 9/6

thanks to jess & tara for organizing this sunday funday at wekiva springs in orlando. the water was cold, the canoes were a hoot, and the company was awesome. me, sean, tara, brendan, jess, rachel & clyde - you rock.

cff tailgate kick off to a cure - 9/13

good food, great friends and an even better cause.

savannah - 9/18-20

we took us-17 all the way up, stopped at abandoned houses & gas stations for photo opps, saw the smallest church in america, stayed in an awesome hotel, got to hang out with my girl ktina, met some cool new people (at hangfire), ate yummy food (tubby's & local 11ten), took tons of photos, got in some good shopping (civvies, paris market & shop scad), and lots more. it was the perfect balance of fun & relaxation, and it was just the two of us <3. href="http://www.sweetnflour.com/">marisa for putting together the sweetest guide to savannah for us! complete with a scrapbook for our mementos and a fold out map for when we got lost. we're excited to go back this weekend for amy & gil's bachelor/bachelorette party tomorrow!

camp boggy creek - 9/25-27

it was a family fun weekend of arts & crafts, woodshop, dancing, singing, volleyball, soccer, pool time, performances, new friendships and great memories. this was my second time back to camp with maegs, and the first time for tara. thank you both so much for coming with me!

the decemberists - 9/29

me, sean, sean and eric went to see the decemberists at st. aug ampitheatre earlier this week and it. was. awesome. amazing music - shara from my brightest diamond sang with the band and was the standout of the night for me. click here for a clip of her covering heart's crazy on you with the band. ran into a lot of friends, enjoyed an ice cold over-priced beer and got a free ride & ticket upgrade from tucker!

all in all it was a great month spent with friends doing fun stuff and i loved every tiring minute of it. october promises to pack the same with amy & gil's bachelor/bachelorette party this weekend, their wedding next weekend!, friends intown for an art show at AI, birthdays for russel, ashley, mike, tooter & mom, trip to melbourne to see my friends and family, stop in deland to see sean's family, bowling night with old work buddies, art walk, oct jax beard meeting, aiga jax cocktails & creatives, and tons more i'm sure i'm forgetting.

i'll sleep in november.
