First up?
Thank you all so much for your heartfelt notes and comments about me keeping the blog! I really do love this blog. I think every blogger hits a mark when they begin to questions the reasons why they are writing. Based on all the feedback I got, I am going to make a few changes, but keep blogging. I really do appreciate the support. It means so much to me that you guys care. :)
Next??
Jimmy's parents are coming to Atlanta this weekend to meet my parents!
That's a big deal!
Ever since the famed "Meet The Parents" movie series came out, this whole process had gotten a bad wrap (or is it bad rap? I don't know).
Luckily, I adore each and every parent involved, and I am confident the process will go swimmingly.
I actually got a little preview of the meet at greet this Christmas when my dad and Missy met up with Jimmy's family for a quick coffee. I was so pleased. Everyone seemed to get along well.
This weekend they are meeting my mom for the first time.
I'm really excited about that actually. I talk about her all the time, so it will be nice for them to finally meet her. I asked Jimmy if he thought they would be surprised by how much we look alike... yes, I know my face is fatter. Mom has a very tiny head!!
We are planning a nice weekend for everybody. Both of our moms love to walk, so we thought we could take them over to Westminster for a little stroll around campus.
Westminster is so pretty. I am actually really looking forward to showing it to them. I have been spending a lot more time over there now that Lindles and I are "training" for the Peachtree Road Race (i.e. taking the dogs for a walk until they get "too hot").
My dad is taking Jimmy's dad to play golf at the Atlanta Country Club, and then we are going over to have dinner at Dad and Missy's. I am really looking forward to that as well.
That means the only thing I am responsible for is lunch at my house on Saturday.
FREAK OUT! ... Or at least I was this morning.
Last Spring when I shot my house for Decor Demon, it looked like this...
A year and half later the house looks, well... lived in and "hom-ie." I wish I could wiggle my nose and Bewitch my house back to "magazine ready." Of course I can sweep and mop and put away... but you know what I really need? FLOWERS! Flowers make everything better!! I can, of course, go BUY flowers, but I have no idea what to do with them when I get them home. Flower arranging is an AMAZING TALENT. Of course I thought of the best flower arranger I know, one of our top agents, Linda Williams. She very generously offered to come over tomorrow and help me get the flowers together. What a lifesaver! I think she also understands that this is a really big deal to me. It will also be the first time Jimmy's parents see my house... so it has to look it's best. Obviously.
When I was on the phone with her I remembered to ask her about featuring her new listing (140 Churchill Drive) on the blog. YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE IT. It's one of the prettiest houses I've shot this year! You have got to see the kitchen!
See? I told you. To see more pictures from this listing, please click here.
Thank you Linda for offering to help me since I have NO flower skillz.
Wish me luck this weekend! Any advice?
