Best Friends & Pretty Stationery

YALL!!! I get to see this goof ball tonight!

YAHOOOOOO

 | b e s t  f r i e n d  t i m e |

I feel like its been a year since I saw Francelina which is not okay. Life is crazy these days. She  has an hour & a half commute to work every day, and even before I moved to the ham, we never got to see each other. | S A D N E S S | We would however have good long phone calls while she was driving home from work. I think one of those is in order in the near future. Needless to say....I miss the heck out of Frances! I miss working with her and I miss living in the same city as her.  I guess I've realized over the last couple of months that a friendship like ours is super hard to come by and I think we both refuse to let our insanely busy lives, and living in different cities have any sort of negative effect on our friendship.

I remember probably around 4 years ago, {WHAT!!!! HOLY HEAVEN FOUR FREAKIN YEARS AGO....MY LIFE IS FLYING BY...SLOW DOWN!!!} Frances and I became long distance pen pals and this is truly where our friendship grew so close. Still to this day, we are pen pals!!!! and YES even when we were living in the same city, we still write to each other!

Writing is so beautiful. There is something so special about going to the mail and finding something other than bills!!! right? When I go to the mail and find a personal note for me I get so happy because that means someone took time out of their super busy life, to take a few minutes simply to write to 

M E !

I have another little pen pal. It started when I was in college!! My sweet sweet Meme would send me little cards. We started sending little notes back and forth to each other and again, we still to this day send each other pretty notes on pretty stationery that we actually do get from the best stationer in the Shoals :) Speaking of which....I just remembered I actually have some pretty new stationery to pick up while I am in Florence!!

So I wanted to share some pretty little stationery that I am totally into right now. If you ever want to get me something that you can definitely count on me using the heck out of....get me some stationery. But, please purchase from MRS. FRANCES LEDGEWOOD. Best friends support each others career!

P.S. can you believe FOOTBALL starts Saturday!!! What in the world?!?!

YESSSSSSSSSS!

Today.....It's t o d a y !

It's Today it's Today It's T O D A Y.

I'm going to my favorite city, Nashville Tennessee, to see my Favorite girl

K A T Y   P E R R Y

& have you ever seen someone so insanely beautiful?!?

I'm over-the-moon excited.

France's is the best and surprised me with Tickets for my Birthday.

So she & I will be taking a little road trip today after our half-day of working.

We are leaving early so we can enjoy the trip. Frannie and I haven't had any just for fun time since long before her wedding, so...It's definitely overdue. 

It's going to be another FAB memory that will probably make it's way to the favorites list pretty fast. We have made so many fun memories over the past five years. I can't imagine life without Frances in it. If you're new to my blog, you can read my latest post on our friendship here. 

Alrighty! I'm off to work out and then tackle some work so I can get on the road!!!

Bye now

OH & P.S. There will be l o t s of photos taken during this little trip!

Wedding Photos.

Frannie & Brenty's Wedding was b e y o n d PERFECT.

They are the cutest little married couple on the planet. I've never seen two people who are so in love with each other.

The entire Saturday was fantastic. Overall everything went smoothly.

They had a wonderful turn out.

They said their vows and we all danced the night away. 

It feels SO weird because I haven't talked to Francelina since that day. We talk everyday....all day basically. So this is so weird. I can;t wait for her and the hubs to get back from their honeymoon so I can hear all about it. 

They get back Saturday <3

Then I am off to the beach for a WEEK. Can't wait. 

I'm out friends. 

Heading to the gym

Bye now

FRANCES & BRENT!

It's today....and I'm going to be crying most of the day. Just get ready. 

Today is going to be E M O T I O N A L emotional. 

It's Frances and Brent's wedding day.

I'm so so excited to know that my bestest is going to be well taken care of. 

Brent is the PERFECT guy for her and I can't imagine her being with anyone else. 

He truly treats her just like a lady is supposed to be treated.

Frances, you have been such a big part of my life for the past five years and I can't even imagine my life before without you being a part of it. You have been there for me through my ups and downs. We have seen each other at our best and our worst. Its so strange to think about how we just GET it. We get each other and the way each other thinks. We understand each others perfectionism. We are always thinking on the same time frame. We usually wear matching clothes on accident and we definitely can read each others minds and finish each others sentences. 

I just love you best friend and I am so thankful that God put you in my life.

8, EIGHT freakin years ago {OMG....where does time go?} you were bebopping into our freshman english class. You were all happy and uppity telling this beautiful curly headed girl {who I now know as Sweet hilarious Mareth} about how your mom made you a big bowl of oatmeal so you would do good on our exam that day

I thought oh gah this girl... She's so HAPPY and I was so extremely jealous and wanted my mom to be there to fix me oatmeal and baby me on exam day. 

That day, I never knew that one day a few years later you would be someone so near and dear to my heart. 

I love you best friend and I'm so ecstatic for today. Your dreams are finally here and tonight is going to be such a blast. 

Just get ready for me to basically be yours and Brents adopted daughter and I better have a room at your new house. 

LOVE YOU BEST FRIEND and LOVE YOU BRENTY!!!

Bye now,
