Fun for the 4th!

I actually had this post written days ago and forgot to finish/post it. Whoops :) Anyways, I love entertaining, so when my BFFF, Alex, came to me with the idea of having a little get together for the 4th I thought, why not?

Everyone met at my house for some appetizers, cocktails, and jello shots. Then some of us headed downtown to see some fireworks (my fave!)

We were running a little late so we watched most of the downtown Memphis fireworks from the car, but we decided to go to one of the hotel's rooftops so we could watch the Redbirds shoot off their fireworks after the game ended.

Here are a few photos from the night:

All the food!

Brad Paisley

This is completely random, BUT I was watching The Voice last night and Brad Paisley performed. All I could concentrate on was how cute his guitars are. I've seen him in concert before so I knew that he always has a paisley guitar (hmm...wonder why??) But last night I just couldn't get over how much I would want a paisley guitar (if I knew how to play it...) Just thought I would share a few random pictures of him and his guitars.

Upcoming 4th Plans

I hope everyone is as excited as I am about the 4th of July being mere days away! I love love love the 4th!! Fireworks are my favorite! For the longest time, I never knew how loud they were because my dad would always cover my ears when we went to see them. I just learned to love the bright flashing lights. My favorite part has always been the finale when they light EVERYTHING.



This year, my BFFFF and I decided to have some people over to my house for appetizers and cocktails. Then we're all going to head downtown to the Peabody Rooftop and watch the Mud Island fireworks (they're the best in the city)!

I'm sure I'll be going to other smaller firework shows around Memphis, but I'm REALLY excited about this particular one!

I'll also be sure to pick up some sparklers because those are my favorite fireworks to play with. Guess I'm not one for danger (no bottle rockets here!)

I hope you guys have fun stuff planned for the 4th!

Who Does That??

Unfortunately, I'm back from my Florida vacation. I'll never understand why vacation days go by so much faster than regular ones. Other than the heat, it was a great time. Lots of good shopping, sand, seafood, and sunshine (didn't mean for those all to start with S's).

Normally at this time I would share all the wonderful pictures I took while in Florida. However, I managed to come home with zero. Didn't even think to take my camera out one time. Who does that??

I'm usually the person people are asking to stop taking pictures. Nope, not this time.

Oh well. Guess I'll just have to play with all my new goodies I purchased to make me feel better.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

xoxo,
