Can I Get Botox for a Birthday Present?
I typed this in Georgia font because I would like to one day name my daughter or dog Georgia (not after UGA, but after the state in which I was born). I am also posting this because R asked what I would like for my 30th, yes 30th birthday! Guess what came out of my mouth??? Botox!!! Never had it done in my life, but thinking that would be something that I would not buy for myself. Of course, if it makes me have a lazy eye (like it has done to someone I know), my muscles will hopefully have had time to "relax" by my wedding. Is it my milestone birthday causing this or the "lists" for the wedding that I have to keep makin'?

Guest Information
My mom and Tom visited this weekend and much was accomplished! We ordered a cake, decided on accommodations and solidified a budget (???). Tom was able to see the Cotton Dock where the reception will be held.
We also visited The Hampton Inn-Isle of Palms to finalize arrangements for our guests. My mother-in-law did some work too! So, here is the info that you, the guest, needs to know: If you arrange a room over the internet, it is nonrefundable. Meaning, that in the event you cancel (no matter how far in advance), you will be responsible for the amount quoted. If you call the hotel directly, you will receive the wedding discount and be refunded in the event you cancel (not less than 24 hours prior). The direct number is as follows: 843.856.3900. You may speak with Carla Broughton or Paul Voell. They are both extremely helpful.
R is out at sea but expresses his excitement via email. He is making his way towards Germany and Belgium and will be home at the end of February. We both know that these next few months are going to fly by!
XOXO to all,
Britt

What's Important
Because I would love to dedicate my memories of this next year to my future children, I have decided to document what is important to me as of this moment. . .
I have thought lately about what I relish in life. . .So the list begins, in no particular order, of course! The following is what I am most proud of and thankful for with some material things in between:
1. That my BigMama is 99 years old as of January 7th.
2. That my fiance wakes up in a good mood EVERY MORNING (yes, its true and he does not take medication-isn't that a miracle?).
3. That the smell of a new box of crayons makes me smile!
4. That I love people no matter their race, religion, creed or color as long as they are nice. I must say that my motto in life is: "If your're good, you're good; if you're bad, you're bad. . .nuff said!"
5. That nothing makes me happier than a fountain Coke in a styrofoam cup with crushed ice and a straw!
6. That hearing my children of hispanic origin say my name makes my knees go weak. They roll the "r" as best as any 4 year old I know!
7. That I can say "up the road," "down the road" or "to the road" and my family knows that that means 2 miles, 2 minutes or 2 hours without any explanation.
8. That my sweet tea is actually "sugar water."
9. That I am a sucker for my two children. . .just like my soon-to-be-husband; they are always wagging their tales! :)
10. That the Basil scent by Mrs. Meyers' hand soap is the best thing I have ever washed my hands with (preposition, I know).
11. That the quote: "[Red] wine makes daily living easier, less hurried, with fewer tensions and more tolerance" is true. (This is really a quote from Benjamin Franklin and I have a feeling that we would have been friends.)
12. That my brother, Blakely, is really the most innocent and real person I know.
13. That I can count on a trip "back home" to humble me-in a good way.
14. That any spontaneous, Sunday booze cruise with R, Sailor and Alice Ann on our boat is heaven!
15. That the feeling of goose bumps at Jordan (pronounced Jurden) Hare Stadium when the eagle flies around NEVER gets old.
16. That my BFF's (they know who they are) are the best girls in the world.
17. That my "little cousins" are coming into their own.
18. That R and I still crave a Waffle House breakfast!
19. That having a housekeeper (even in a small house) is a blessing!
20. That karma is a . . .!

Novel Concept to Me
This is my first entry and I don't really know why I have decided to do this. One reason could be that I am getting ready to marry the love of my life AND my best friend and want to document this exciting year. Or it could be that the so mentioned above just left to go out to sea and I am bored! Who knows? I do know that I don't want to forget about the upcoming year as it will be the most exciting one that my family and I have had in a while. First, my little cousin and little sister (both 27) will have babies Hazel and Elle in March and May respectively! Secondly, I am getting married in October! Lastly, R's brother and sister-in-law will have a huge New Year's Eve party to celebrate their 1 year anniversary as husband and wife. What more could you ask for in 2010?
So please indulge me as I savor happenings and blessings through this blog as I head to the altar.
Peace
