Key Lime Pie

Key Lime Pie is one of my absolutely favorite desserts.  Until I came across this recipe from Baked Perfection via All Recipes, I never considered making it myself.  It took about 10 minutes to put together and 10 minutes to bake and my pie came out superb!

Sweet Asheville Wedding

This year is truly the year of weddings!  A few weeks ago Kimili and I ventured to Asheville to be apart of one of the sweetest weddings (filled with tons of personal touches) I've been involved in to date.  Gini and I met our freshmen year of college and have been remained close ever since no matter where life has taken us.  After meeting Andi for the first time, it was like we have known each other for years.  They are truly a testament of what true love and a partnership is all about, enjoy some pictures from their big day.

OUR WEDDING: Checklist Update - 2 Months

Aye Aye Aye, where does time go!  We've been a little crazy the last month but still made some progress on our "To Do" List.  June 1st a our family members and a few of my bridesmaids and friends all got together and had a DIY party, I am forever in debt to these phenomenal women, without them I wouldn't have been able to get half of what they took care of done.  Between them and the help of our Wedding Director, Veronica, from Behind the Scenes Inc., they are all playing a huge part in helping me keep my sanity!  THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!
