Wineries

Last weekend we were lucky to be invited on a little winery tour with our newly engaged friends, Ryan and Jess.  We hopped in a limousine with a few friends and alot of champagne and jammed out to ridiculous music for the hour ride from DC out to Loudon County.

We made 3 stops-

1. Corcoran

2. Doukenie

3. Beaux

We took a ton of pictures and most of them have been posted to Facebook, so I edited a couple so you'd feel like you hadn't seen them before ;)

The happy couple!

The other happy couple :)

Things got a little crazy...

We had a really great time being chauffered around doing wine tastings and eating a freaking DELISH lunch that Jess made.  OMG pasta salad and amazing fried buffalo chicken. I'm still craving it.  Things got a little  out of hand towards the end of the day, but only one glass got broken and we didn't leave anybody behind so I consider it a successful trip.

Bonus- we brought back several bottles of wine with us!!

Hope everybody is having a great week. I'm busy as a bee!

The Secret is Out!!!



Ryan and Jess are getting married!!!!!!!!

The Future Mr. and Mrs. Ryan Warner



Dear Warner,

We’ve been friends for… well… forever.  We met at Beach Week in 2004 and never looked back.  You’ve always been the best friend to me- including when you drove me all over Myrtle Beach to find a pirate costume in ’07.  From dancing on picnic tables, to Disney World, to having the courage to introduce me to Jess so early on in your relationship… I’m so lucky to have you as a friend. Congratulations, Brother!!!

Dearest Jess,

The night I met you was unforgettable.  Actually.. more like unrememberable… But I digress.  After losing my purse and going camping and getting yelled at for inviting you on the cruise because it was “too soon”, I knew that you’d be in my life forever… as Warner’s WIFE.  I know he is the luckiest guy, but I’m also lucky cause I ended up with a wonderful friend! I love you SO much and I am so excited for you guys!! (as you already know).

I guess you have now figured out that the big news is that two of my best friends are getting married! What an amazing couple. I wish them nothing but happiness for years and years and years.



I can’t wait to grow old with you both!

Love,

Sarah (and Joey too!)

CHEERS to the happy couple!!!!!!!!!!!

PS: There will be a separate note from your niece and nephew later…

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I’m going to have another sister!!

My brother, Alex, and his girlfriend, Corinne, were engaged last night on her birthday!
