On the Go

Jackson's and I barely had time to breath this weekend. It was one thing after another, but we loved it all.

This is the last time I get to see Jackson before our WEDDING weekend. 2 months. Sad, I know, but it'll be okay come June 27th when he is coming in h.o.t on that Thursday afternoon.

First, he had a delay in Kansas City due to some plane issues-- made me miss a little more time with him, but he finally got here. Then it was off to Wedowee.

Friday morning (8am to be specific due to someone wanting to play golf with some buddies that afternoon--I really do love him) we had our last marriage counseling, which went over great. Jackson and I really talked it out with Bro Steve and felt confident in our future marriage. Good stuff.
This is us at 8am. I can "act"
like a morning person at times.

Afterwards he took off to play some golf I headed to get my hair and nails "did" since graduation was SATURDAY. FINALLY. I've never been more ready for something-- well and my wedding, duh.

Does this say Bachelorette Bash?
(Jackson and I both have our bach parties this upcoming weekend)
We both love our time together, but I think we both are 
ready to be at the beach too.

Friday night Jackson and I enjoyed some mexican food with my parents. That was our one down time to actually talk with other people and sit for awhile.

Saturday morning came quick! Up and early cooking breakfast and getting ready for graduation that afternoon. It was a long, fast day. 

After graduation we snapped some pictures and headed to Alex City for our Couple's shower.

He's cute, huh?

This is typical. One of my best of friends 
and bridesmaids, Whit Lo.

My MOH.


My Sissy was in charge and that meant it was going to be a blast and beautiful!

I am going to take minute to let everyone know how awesome and one of kind she truly is.

If you looked in the dictionary under "Sissy" it would be her picture because she is the best and #1 Sissy. Of all time. "FOOORREEVVEER" (Sandlot quote).

Love you always. 

Best Matron, ever. 


Jackson and I had such a wonderful time at the Couples shower in AC. I think it made Jackson a little sad because he knew he had to leave again the next morning to head back to Denver.

That boy sure does love his friends and I do too!

My brothers and I.

All the girls

Everything was great. We are so thankful to have such loving and wonderful people give us such an awesome shower. Jackson and I couldn't thank you all enough!

PERFECT night!

Sunday morning came way to quickly.
Off to the airport we went .. I won't get to see
 Jackson for 2 months. 

(this is his "I want to stay in Alex City" face)

Next time I see him it'll be the weekend we say "I do"
Whew.

Life is good.

Last Roll


Sad day in Auburn, AL as Auburn fans rolled Auburn Oaks one last time after A-Day.

April 20th, 2013


My dad was out of town for the weekend of this special day so Mom and I decided to make a day trip and head to Auburn early and grab lunch and take a stroll to Toomer's.
Good little lunch, cold drink, and great company. 
My kind of Saturday.


Mom and I decided we'd take one last picture in front of the Auburn Oaks.



My parent's raised me right. I believe in AUBURN and LOVE IT!
War Eagle!

Monograms and Margaritas Shower

This past weekend I attended my FIRST wedding shower.

Monograms and Margaritas was the theme and I LOVED IT. Who doesn't love your new initials on items and yummy margaritas?

Whitney and Ashley did such a wonderful job celebrating my engagement with a fun monogram shower.
The hostesses 

It was so enjoyable to get to celebrate with some of my sorority sisters. I loved everything I got.

Yes, my name is going to be Ali Lilly, a mouth full. I know. I can't wait to have the last name Lilly even though it'll take some time getting use to all these L initial. 



S.L.P (soon to be graduates--April 27th)

A few of my cute goodies:





I loved everything I got!
My sisters are great.

I cannot wait till the other showers!
Life is good.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game.

April 1st was the Braves Opening Day.

I love ball games. I love the concession stand food.

Beautiful day. Everyone chants their favorites teams. Good friends. Ice cold drinks. Men in baseball pants. Chop, Chop.

Whitney, Bree, Kimber, and I decided we must attend the Braves game (why not?). There was no doubt we needed to enjoy some time out in the sunshine and that's exactly what we did.

Girls trip.


The girls.
SLP's on 3.




May have gotten a little sunburned on one side of my body, had to wait in line to use the restroom in a porta potty (ew), and stand in line for 30 minutes for some cheese fries.... BUT it was worth missing class, hanging with awesome friends, and watching a good baseball game.

It kicked off April just right!
Here comes SUMMERTIME.
