Introducing our Blog....

So, Nicholas and I are official now... have been for almost a month (on the 19th!) we found out a few days after the actual wedding that his job was officially transferred and we are a true bon-a-fide married couple now! I told my friend Lacey that I was giving the blog a shot but that I feel incredibly boring and not quite sure what in the world I would ever think to talk about!! So here goes nothing... day one of blog experiment!

To catch you up.... here is what we have been up to recently!


1. I bought a house last year in August.... its a 1920's home with its little quirks and new "issues" we discover everyday!!! Now that Nicholas is here I definitely feel I should have gotten a larger house! - although this house is a lot bigger than it looks from the front... almost 2600 square feet - double the size of my last residence! Nonetheless, it is ours and what we call home!

That was our our first photo shoot with the ever so talented Dawn Mei... you will definitely be seeing more of her handy work if you aren't asleep yet!

2. Nicholas and I tied the knot on September 19th down in Savannah with a great group of close friends and family! We said our "I Do"'s in front of the Forstyh Park fountain and had dinner at the new hip Bohemian hotel on the riverfront! The only complaint I have about married life is I can't figure out how I want my new signature to look..... although I did get called Mrs. Shearer for the first time yesterday which threw me for a loop but in a totally good way!

What's that you want a few pictures... hmm well alright, if you insist!

 Our gorgeous wedding party on Bay Street!! Photo by Dawn Mei (see I told you that you would get more of her!)

 Perhaps my favorite ceremony picture! That's my dad in the wheelchair officiating!

 Best tasting cake I've ever had... and even though Nicole did a wonderful job on my hair - it just was not wanting to be curly that day - I think it still looks kinda cool!

 Smooches as husband and wife!

 The fountain we got hitched in front of!

And there you go! Are my girls just so lovely?! I'm such a lucky girl! That gal on the left is Ingrid, my Maid of Honor, who is getting married Nov 6th!!!! And the beautiful lady on the right is Loren who just got married herself and we are so happy for them!

Jamie swears our town home we rented in Savannah was haunted... I think she was bad in a previous life and it finally caught up to her.... but to each their own!! If you are heading down to Savannah anytime soon might I suggest homeaway.com in lieu of a hotel -- just stay away from East Liberty Street.... that's where the ghosts party! Right, Jamie?

3. We had a rocking wedding reception back home! Inclusive of a photo booth, via the best photographer on the planet! -- a few shots for your viewing pleasure

 Totally rocking those glasses! Later in the night I was styling people -- perhaps my new calling?! Move over Rachel Zoe!

 This is one of my favorites! Nicholas is such a goof ball and so laid back and this captures it perfectly! Good job Dawn!

 This is Connor, Nick's nephew and character extraordinaire!! Connor regularly auditions for commercials at RJ Gators and loves to remind his mom he's half grown-up!!

and a (very late) Michael Jackson impersonator, who I will post photos of once I receive them!I think everyone had a blast and I know I was hoarse the next morning so I consider the event a very good time!!! Thanks to everyone that came out to help us celebrate!


And NOW.... we are spending our week going through our mound of gifts (you guys are awesome!) and cleaning up after hurricane wedding and guests has now vacated the premises!!!

Stay tuned... we can't really be all that boring?! After all, we have a Bad Santa party in the mix and my friend Regina is starting a catering company so I'm sure we will have some material for ya???!
