To describe our growing up in the lowcountry of South Carolina, I would have to take you to the marsh on a spring day, flush the great blue heron from its silent occupation, scatter marsh hens as we sink to our knees in mud, open an oyster with a pocketknife and feed it to you from the shell and say, 'There. That taste. That's the taste of my childhood.' - Pat Conroy

My Wonderful Weekend



Friday night my sister and I made the 2 1/2 hour drive to Dalzell, SC to watch her son, my nephew Dean, play football. His team won 42 over 6! Needless to say we were all happy.




It was very chilly in upstate SC, Fall truly is here!


Saturday we got up bright and early and got my little princess ready for her pageant.
If you follow me on Instagram than you already know, but if not, she won!

She is Wee Miss Jasper County 2014 and we are so very proud!
I could never be a judge though, the girls are beautiful and I don't know how they do it!

Cadence is the one with the white dress with the gold trim :)








She also won Miss Photogenic and this was her accepting that title.




One of Cadence's friend, Olivia, was also in her age group and placed 2nd runner up, just look at these cuties! Absolutely precious!

Sunday we headed to the zoo, where I fed a bird, pet a giraffe, kissed a goat, and trespassed on personal property which was a peanut field to take pictures of my little peanut. I also picked cotton to make an at home bouquet, which turned out perfectly! And naturally, since we were in Columbia, we had to stop by Williams Brice!

























We ended the weekend perfectly last night, by sitting by the fire and roasting marshmallows!


This weekend is our annual town festival where Cadence will

represent her town as Wee Miss Jasper County, we will watch the parade and have a blast! My aunt is also coming up from Florida and we're having a cookout on Saturday night...come on Friday!
