Time for a Makeover!

Welcome to my first post under the new name of, The Point Breeze Post.  Not that I didn't like Point Breeze Palaver, but hardly anyone I met knew how to pronounce it much less what it meant.  For the record, here is the correct definition of Palaver: [puh-lav-er, -la-ver]  noun- a conference or discussion.

It's an old school word, and now I'm laying it to rest.  So welcome to The Point Breeze Post!  A little inspiration for your average St. Mary's County resident from my small corner of Point Breeze Road.  I'm going to make an effort to make every blog post count, and hopefully some of you will read it and actually find it interesting or enlightening.  I love to try new things, and 2011 is certainly going to be full of them.  I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions on some of the things I'm blogging about, so please leave me some comments, suggestions, etc.

For the Party Planner

Yesterday, my co-worker was telling me how she was attending an "Old Hollywood" themed party and sent me a link to a website that had inspired her friend to throw the party.  I can't believe I didn't know about this website sooner, it's everything a party planner could ever want!  Tons of beautiful inspiration boards and ideas for parties, events, etc.  It's called The Hostess with the Mostess and she certainly is.  This blog more than earned it's way onto my list of blogging buddies (at right), so make sure to check them out! 

Point Breeze Advertising?!

What do you know, they are advertising Point Breeze Palaver (PBP) in Calvert County now!

Christmas Cards

One of my favorite parts of Christmas is sending and receiving holiday greeting cards.  It's a chance to see how my friends and family are celebrating the season and just seem to bring a smile to my face.  One of my least favorite parts of the Christmas Card?  Having to throw it away!  In fact, I am totally that girl who has a shoebox full of birthday, greeting, thank you, etc. cards under my bed from YEARS ago.

I think I've figured out how to break my hatred for getting rid of all my beautiful cards.  I threw them all on my bed, scooched them all together and snapped a picture.  Now I won't feel so guilty when I have to throw all that money and cuteness out with the garbage (or recycling).

Here are the Christmas cards Bubba and I received this year, can you find yours!!  I guarantee you its in there :)

Resolutions

Every year I seem to make a resolution that I never keep.  Will I do it again this year?  Possibly.  But I'm going to try really hard and hold true to it for as long as I can.  And what is my resolution for 2011?  Simple:

Live My Life, For Me.

Honestly it's a motto many people live by anyway, but sometimes it's hard.  You get caught up in pleasing others and life is always throwing you some kind of distraction, so when this happens I'm just going to remind myself that this year I'm going to 'Live My Life, For Me.'

Living my life, for me will consist of expanding my photography hobby into a possible business venture, traveling as much as possible without a care in the world, and enjoying every second I have of my first year being married. I'm going to do all the things that make me happy and try not to stress out too much.

Cross your fingers for me!

Happy New Year!

Goodbye 2010 and hello 2011!

2010, it's been real, but it's time for you to go.  You brought me many great moments and memories that I will never ever forget.  I enjoyed life as an engaged woman; Attending bridal shows and scowering bridal shops for the perfect dress.  I watched a lot of new movies, read a few good books and shot a TON of pictures with my favorite toy every, my Canon Rebel.  I took an exciting trip to Destin, FL too see my sister's best friend tie the knot and road tripped our way home stopping in the sweet Savannah, GA.  I turned 24, lost my beloved grandmother, Maw-Maw and started a new position at work.  I thrived in planning my wedding, married my best friend and love of my life, and then took a beautiful and top-notch honeymoon to the island of Kauai, Hawaii.  I enjoyed living in Coltons Point to the fullest by having a party for the blessing of the fleet weekend and walking around the neighborhood in the evenings, and by getting the best news we'd heard in a long time; that we'd have to opportunity to buy the home we've been renting.  I celebrated my first Thanksgiving and Christmas as a married woman and have made a few new friends who've already made a lasting impression on me.

Yes, 2010 was an eventful and wonderful year, which only leads me to believe that 2011 will be just as good, if not better!
