Weddings!

I’m getting really excited about three upcoming weddings! My friend from work Amber & her fiance Magnus’ have asked me to be the greeter at their wedding in Raleigh over Labor Day weekend. It’s going to be really pretty and intimate at The Umstead Hotel.
My friend and old roommate from college Cheryl & Brian’s wedding is Oct 24th in Greenville, SC. The chapel location is on a mountain top called Pretty Place & the reception is at a place called the Lazy Goat! 😛
And my good friend Kelly has asked me to be the matron of honor at her & Brett’s wedding next Apr 24th! I’m already having a blast going to check out places & help get back in wedding planning mode.
I can’t wait for their upcoming showers, engagement parties, & bachelorette’s nights this summer!

I passed!

This is not one of “Suz’s Treats” (kinda the opposite!) but just wanted to let ya’ll know what I’ve been up to. I’ve been MIA recently while studying for a test for work. It’s officially called AIC 33. I took it this morning & passed! I need to take 6 different test like this one to be a “Sr” in my position. Three down and three to go. Now that its done, my nights and weekends are free again! I’m gonna take a couple of months off before taking the next one~ they get harder from here!

Beach Weekend Reads

So I’m heading to OIB for the first of hopefully many trips this spring & summer. My favorite thing to do at the beach is read. It kinda drives my mom crazy since her favorite thing to do on the beach is talk! I have four books set aside for 3 days off. Ha! I started Breaking Dawn tonight (its the fourth & last of the Twilight series). I’m also bringing Marley & Me (which is the April XO Alum selection & its perfect to hide tears with big sunglasses), Election (May nestie book club selection), and Multiple Bles8ings (probably kinda cheesy but I love the show & thought it’d be a good beach read). I can’t wait!! Anyone reading this read any of those books? Have any favorite beach reads?

Megan’s Mateys

Since I heard this news, its been hard not to keep this family in my thoughts. My heart just breaks for Amber & her family. Although I’m not yet a mother, I really truly feel for the situation and ask if my blog readers will add this family to your prayer list.
A fellow NC nestie, Amber, who’s almost 20 weeks pregnant, found out late last week at her most recent ultrasound that her daughter Megan Grace has a severe form of dwarfism called skeletal dysplasia which means she will be carried to term but her body will not grow enough to have room for her lungs. Amber has bravely decided to carry this baby to term & treasure each moment with Megan Grace.
Other nesties (especially those on the NC babies board) have stepped up with fundraising ideas & made this blog to keep us up-to-date & to support Amber and her family. I posted a picture & blog link on the right. Amber is a ECU grad & thus a big pirate fan. Please keep them all in your thoughts & prayers for this difficult time. God has the power to do amazing miracles! I hope He will cover Amber with his calming presence and that she will be comforted by knowing we are thinking & praying for her & Megan Grace.
