Possible wedding venue!! Eseeola Lodge~Linville Golf Club

Today or tomorrow I will be going up the mountain

to look at a potential venue for the wedding!!

Taylor and I love the mountains and are avid hikers,

so the mountains are a must when it comes to our wedding.

Our first plan was Hawaii, just me and Taylor

beach wedding of our dreams...but then everyone was crushed.

So we decided  a small family wedding in NC

was the way to go.

Here is where we plan to get married at this May!

Eseeola Lodge at Linville Golf Club

This is where we hope to say "I DO"

We would use the lodge and the dining room for the dinner and reception.

For those who know Taylor and I this is the perfect location.

Mountains....check...Old rustic looking lodge...check....On a golf course....check

Having the wedding of our dreams...priceless

I'm praying they still have a opening in May...keeping my fingers crossed.

 I will keep everyone updated on what the outcome is!

Happy Monday!!

A re-draw....and a sinus infection???

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to let you all know that I've been really sick this week and last week.

It started out as a sinus infection, the antibiotics were not working so I went back to

the doctor this morning, I just felt really bad and my throat had gotten worse, come to find out the

drainage from my sinuses had a bacteria in it, causing my throat to be irratated, gross I know, but Im

back on two different meds and hopefully this will clear it up and I can get back to blogging!

Now, to the good news, yesterday I drew the winner of the $20 Etsy credit

to The Stitching Chick. Well the winner Ashley, contacted me and said she would like someone

else to win because she is doing a review for Loree. With that being said, I will be

doing a re-draw tomorrow for the $20 credit.

So be sure to check back to see if you won.

Thanks everyone you are awesome!!
