Guided by the candlelight in the eve.

Today was pretty spectacular! I FINALLY got caught up on my old blog posts – though I did not bother posting some of the ones that were supposed to be posted about a week ago – but, I got the previous three done anyway :)

My grandma, mom, and I went out to do some last minute Christmas grocery shopping… there isn’t anywhere to shop up here nearby.

So we headed up to the local IGA. There, I got my first taste of some local milk! Anyone who really knows me knows how much I LOVE chocolate milk! I really love it! That and chocolate covered strawberries. My heart melts.

Mountain Fresh Creamery

Check them out! Delish, as RR would say!

After that we made sandwiches and I snagged some homemade pickles.

Then, we got ready for Christmas Eve Service at Helen First Baptist Church in Helen, GA.

I love going to church! And I really like Rev. Jim Holmes. Fav quote of the night: “We marvel at the manger, but at the cross we are convicted.” How true! God touched my heart tonight and I feel ready to celebrate tomorrow.

After the service we piled into my grandparents truck and we looked at the Christmas lights in Helen!

Merry Christmas, y'all!!!

Here’s what I wore to the church service:

Green pendant necklace and cotton blossom dress from shopruche.com, tights from Hue, Lauren by Ralph Lauren sweater, Skechers heeled booties, and one ridiculous attitude ;)

We humble travellers of yore...

My mom and I are just arrived in White County, GA today! My favorite places to visit are in the Appalachian and Smokey Mountains!

 Crazy to head up anywhere in this three day block, but it’s what you do.

We stopped for Dunkin’ Donuts before hitting the interstate, as usual.

And this is what I wore:

White American Eagle sweater, Lolita T from Out of Print tees, skinny jeans, and black flats.

8 hours of fashionable, baby! Sort of…

I guess that I should have stopped at some point to take pictures, lol. I haven’t been very good about all of that.

Anyway, we get here and my grandparent’s dogs go bananas! They just get so excited about everything! Pics to come soon of my two girls!

My grandma Cook made us homemade Brunswick stew with her home grown carrots and potatoes! MMMMMMM!!!!

And this is what I see:

Mt Yonah :)

And this was my in-flight entertainment:
