Birthday Recap

So as many of you know I turned 30 this year. The event turned into a weekend event full of celebrations, shooting, and antiquing. It was a birthday to remember!

The birthday started off with breakfast at my favorite place, Lair's Club on 30A. Our server Andrea surprised me with ice cream and chocolate syrup as a dessert to breakfast!

That night we all joined together to celebrate at Stinky's Fish Camp. I felt so loved being surrounded by family and friends. I can't express to them all how much it meant to me for them to be there.

The following day Mom & Dad took me for a day of antiquing. And I feel like I hit the jackpot! Take a look at the chairs above. They were mine for a mere $65 each. Yeah they need to be recovered but is a project I'll be tackling soon. They are good quality made chairs and just need to be updated a bit. More to come later on how they are transforming our living area.

I also nabbed these beauties for $16, a pair of brass quail. They will help add to our bedroom decor on the bookshelves I refinished.

My final find for that day were these pheasants. Another set of brass birds for our bedroom decor, and for only $14!

The following day we continued onward to shoot a round of sporting clays, 100 rounds to be exact. This was only my second time to go shooting, so needless to say I was sore for about 2 days from this excursion.

My mom is my best friend, and we have tons of fun together whether we are shooting, eating, drinking, shopping, or what have you.

And what I else can I say about this? My life would not be complete without this man. He not only supports me on all levels in life but he too is my best friend.

A birthday for the record books by far! I hope all of my friends who turn 30 this year have a great birthday to remember too!

Christmas Recap

I realized I never shared our christmas here yet. So without further ado here were go!

I just love how I have sago palms and christmas wreaths I made on our front porch. Have I told you lately how much I love living at the beach! I am still on the search for a bigger front door rug by the way, both seasonal and everyday ones.

We rearranged our dining area to accommodate the tree this year. It went nicely. The only thing that irked a perfectionist like me was the chandelier placement.

For actual Christmas Eve and Christmas day we headed northward into Alabama to spend with our extended families. We loaded the mini horse up in the back of the car so while our little affenpinscher road in my lap, the great dane rested his head on my shoulder from the back seat during the trip up and back.

So you must have heard by now that the Southeast has gotten lots of snow and ice this year. We were not fully spared while in Alabama, 2 days of snow. Fortunately nothing really stuck while we were there. And did I mention our Affenpinscher Bandit was not even bothered by it? Werid for a dog that hates to get his feet wet.

Christmas Eve was no disappointment for all the kids on the Vaughn side. As you can see the tree was throwing up presents from all sides.

Hope you all a wonderful Christmas!

Gun Powder and Lead

Gun powder and lead is more than just a song sung by Miranda Lambert, it is an attitude.

While on our Christmas vacation I was introduced to shooting sporting clays. Me shoot a shot gun? Um yeah it was a first for me. Imagine 2 days of snow and the temp barely getting above 32 degrees while spending a few hours outside with shot guns. Believe it or not it was a heck of a good time! Other than not being able to feel my toes I would do it all again! The smell of gun powder is rather enticing after all, who knew.

Did you try anything new over your Christmas vacation?

Happy 2011

Happy New Year everyone! Wow 2011!?!? That seems kind of crazy to type that.

2010 was a spectacular year for us, but I know 2011 holds great things for us too. I hope you all had a great New Year. This week will be kind of nerve wrecking with the big 3-0 but I am 99.999% I will survive it.

More posts to come for you all!

Merry Christmas Adam

So this day as Daddy calls it, is Christmas Adam. Get it? The day before Christmas Eve? Yeah not rocket science but small things in my life like that make me smile.

The hubs and I are taking the day for ourselves before all of the main events occur over the next two days. We'll start our morning out drinking up some "Crack Coffee" at Lair's Club Cafe, while feasting on their scrumptious breakfast. I'll post details later on the specials there and what "crack coffee" is all about. The agenda for the rest of the day includes a follow up lasik appt for the hubs, a scotch tasting, and exchange of stockings between the hubs and I. I would like to start some kind of tradition for Christmas Adam, maybe we'll happen upon one during the day!

Approaching A Milestone

In about 2 weeks I turn the big 3-0. I am slightly freaked out by it all, but I am trying to remain calm and maintain composure about it. Everyone keeps asking me what I would like for my birthday. I feel like I have so much in life and it is hard to think of anything that I have to have.

But a few things did pop into my head that would be nice for my birthday:

1. Dinner at my favorite restaurant Stinky's Fish Camp

2. A fresh strawberry cake from Edgar's in Birmingham

3. Spend a day antiquing

4. A good bottle of Chardonnay

5. Fresh flowers for my desk

What did you do for your big 3-0 or plan to do? With my birthday being right after Christmas and New Years a big celebration is just way too much to ask of everyone, myself included. So I think a simple weekend of no work and enjoying the company of others would be best.
