started of the morning a bit rough.
shoe + doggy doo = yuck!
still no word from bank of america = yuck!
so as a little pick-me-up i bought a new phone! oh thank you, retail therapy. guess what, blogosphere?!? i'm getting the droid incredible and it's blogger accessible. it's back-ordered until the 25th but then ... I'M BACK!
i hope you all had a wonderful memorial day.
i went home to martinsville, il (pop. 900 or so) for some serious r&r. i headed north saturday am and did a little garage saling/antique shopping on the way. (we're still searching for several wedding essentials - including 1 TALL crystal candlestick and a 13" cake plate. it will be fun to someday in the future buy things simply bc i like them again - and not with wedding purpose. okay - tangent aside.) my mom & grandma drove down on saturday. and my dad drove his motorcycle down on sunday. it was a quiet weekend - full of afternoon naps and long chats on the back porch.

there is something so relaxing about martinsville.
it's my mayberry.
* maybe it's the haze of the dust that trails me on the gravel roads that lead to town.
* maybe it's the friendly wave from the driver's seat of the tractors as we pass.
*maybe it's the countless hours spent coloring pictures, playing dominoes, & singing at the kitchen table with my grandma.
*maybe it's the memories hidden among the wild strawberries of the garden or the rickety old grand stand of the fairgrounds.
yes ... there is something about martinsville.
{yum!}
how did you spend the holiday?
in other news ... fantastic ridiculously exciting news ...
we've finally decided on our honeymoon!
*** drum roll ***
we're going to spend 8 fantastic days in MOROCCO!
wade initially wanted the entire honeymoon to be a surprise. but wade and i are lousy secret keepers - from each other at least. (christmas has come about 3 weeks early each year since we started dating!) now however - he promises to keep the details of the trip a secret from me. he has teamed up with fellow blogger maryam in marrakech and together they are coming up with a perfect get-away!
a recent tweet from @MyMarrakesh: Working on honeymoon package for Peacock Pavilions. *pure magic* Makes me want to get married all over again.
how exciting!
okay okay - i'm completely over the dog poop! and feeling a little less hateful of BoA.
hope you have a splendid day! xo.
