Another week and another opportunity to get things right… I hope that your weekend was filled with EVERYTHING that you could have possibly imagine as mine was that and some!!!!!
Hubs & I kicked off the weekend on Friday with a date night at Ikea... We literally stayed there until they CLOSED the store. They had to KICK us out! (I seriously LOVE that store; it's one BIG MAZE) After getting KICKED out of IKEA we went to a Late Night Movie: Snow White and the Huntsman
*** PICTURE HEAVY ***
*** PICTURE HEAVY ***
This place is like a Gigantic MAZE and I LOVE IT! |
My Favorite Room at Ikea |
My Favorite Closet at Ikea |
Peace Out... They KICKED us out! LOL! |
This MOVIE is a MUST SEE... I highly recommend it! |
Saturday: We went to a Street Market at the Starlight Drive-In - they had all types of STUFF... I'm sure if you name it; they had it!
Yup, that's me with a cup of Watermelon at the Street Market! |
After the Street Market we went to our family cookout to celebrate my cousin graduation from high school
Congrats Cuzzo |
Sunday: The BIG Surprise which topped off my weekend!
Hubs woke me up to a bag full of goodies from Victoria’s Secret and then told me to get dressed because he had a day of “goodies and secrets” planned for us.
Without having a clue as to where we was headed we
jumped in the car and took about a 20 min scenic drive until we approached a small community called: Serenbe which is located 30 minutes outside of Atlanta in the cutest community.
We toured the town including the HGTV Green House, Went on a Nature Trail, Horse Petting, Eating, and Shopping
There were sooo many pictures that I took that I tried to narrow the pictures down to the most likely interested ones.
A View inside the House...

The stairwell... gorgeous! |
We dined at the Farmhouse |
Bread serve prior to the entree |
Hubs Plate: Chicken, vegetable salad, black eyed peas with rice and squash |
My Plate: Fried Pork Chop, vegetable salad, black eyed peas with rice and squash |
Hubs & I shared a Brownie & Ice Cream |
The Garden |
When petting the horses this fella got a lil too close! |
The Lake
Serenbe was so beautiful and peaceful I can definitely see us returning in the near FUTURE!!!!

Note to you: I use to shy away from talking about my husband so much because I didn’t want anyone to think that I was bragging and I didn’t want to sound like a broken record to ppl but then I had a close friend to tell me: “Who ever has a problem with you talking about the LOVE that you and your husband share has a problem with themselves” and “May NOT want to see you happy or have your best interest at heart”. She then told me to continue to confess our LOVE to the world and share it with others because after 15 years of being in love she lost the love of her life and if she had it to do all over again she would have said more! Although, I don’t talk about US as much as I can I think folks who know me has a pretty good idea how much he means to me!!!!
~LOVE is a beautiful thing when it is done right… I thank GOD for my bestfriend…
MY HUSBAND!!!!!
~Until next time
~Until next time
Peace, Love, & Fashion

Wow! This looks like an eventful weekend and that HGTV house is gorgeous! I love spiral staircases!!! I've not been to ikea in a long time but it certainly is a great place to get inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI follow you on Instagram and everytime you post something about your husband I can't help but smile. I can just tell how happy he makes you. had a series on my blog called love stories where women shared their journey to finding their husbands and love. Your story is one I would definitely love to hear. Keep talking about your love because as an unmarried woman you give me hope that I can too find that kind of love one day.
ReplyDeleteYou and ur family look soooo happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am looking forward to marrying my fiancee next year! I love black love!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad for you, and how wonderful of your husband.

Awww looks like a fun-filled weekend Lynn!!!! There's nothing wrong with expressing LOVE and like your friend said forget what others have to say. You give me hope that there are good men still left in the world (btw I have one too...giggles) Keep sharing the love hunnie.
ReplyDeleteYou had a fun and busy weekend and looked really cute!!
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to remember this place, it looks so beautiful!! And your husband did great on this surprise!! I love seeing people share their love. I would rather see real true love then fake, made-up crap for publicity!! Keep sharing, it's motivation to someone that is waiting and hoping to find what you two have!!

Awwww! You stay busy hunny! Nothing wrong with sharing with others the good things about your life, this actually brought a smile to my face =)
ReplyDeleteYou guys have soooo much fun and I LOVE it!!! You look fab per usual. I love IKEA too...but I mainly go in there to steal decoration ideas, LOL. Love HGTV, wish they would just go ahead and pull my got darn name for the dream home series! Geesh! Anyhew, this is YOUR blog, unless u getting paid to do this, it should be about what you love and enjoy and not a forum for folks who don't have no impact in your life. In other words, DO YOU BOO!!!
ReplyDeleteGirl, I totally understand the love you have for IKEA! The first time I ever went, I felt like I died and went to interior decorators heaven! Lol. That house is ridiculously FAB! The FarmHouse restaurant seems like a beautiful place to dine and don't get me started on the food! Girl profess your love honey!!! If my boo wasn't so anti social media, I would have him all over my blog! Lol! Oh, I fixed my pictures. I don't know why I keep having this issue lately. I'm not sure if it's blogger or photobucket that's the issue.
ReplyDeletethis is such a cute post.. I know I already told you in instagram that I LIVE in Ikea but I do... Besides shoes.. Ikea is my place... How cool of the tour to see different houses, etc... i would love for this chance

what a fabulous weekend... especially sunday! i would love to take those house tours. when i was loving in atlanta i did the castleberry tour of lofts and the inman park tour of homes every year.
ReplyDeleteGirl, I need our husband to meet. Your day sounded so wonderful, can he teach a class on this type of thing?! I'll sign my husband up. I agree with your friend, you keep telling the world how good he is. The world needs to hear about loving black couples.
