my friends....&The Pearl Event

we met through blogging.

we have become the best of friends.

we've laughed together and cried together too.

we share secrets & a love for seaside

we love pearls & all things southern

we love our families like crazy

but the thing that knits our hearts together

is our love for jesus.

Sibi is the real deal ya'll

she is an encourager like you've never known.

she has a heart that wants to glorify the Lord, no matter what the day holds.

her perpetually half full glass 

&

her love for her family truly  inspires me...

well, we've been keeping a little secret.

today as i hurried down stairs to check my texts & my inbox

i felt like a little girl on Christmas morning, wondering if Santa had come.

was "it" real...

well it is ....

it is with just about every possible emotion

that i announce

EDIE!

lord have mercy !!

i can't say enough about how much i respect this wonderful woman!!
my girls & i , we all have a little crush on her
& would love to move in with her!

i'll be honest,
when sibi first asked if would come,
i almost laughed in her sweet face. actually, i did laugh.
sat at dinner that night & explained to my hubby how many reasons why i shouldn't go
not the least of which included
"BUT I CAN'T DO PUBLIC SPEAKING!!"

he looked at me and said, what day is it on?
i'll be there...
(actually i'm not sure boys are allowed...wink!)

i called her later and told her , with tears of course,
i'm in.
there's a story there that i'll share later...
