Now We're Engaged! Wooo!

Belles...go grab the Puffs Plus before hittin' play. As promised in an earlier post, this is the video of Carly and Jackson's engagement!

I always like to know the 'inside deets' before stuff like this so allow me to fill you in on some background information.

Carly and Jackson went with Carly's mom, Lori and Brooke (she recorded everything!) to see her two brothers play baseball in Jersey.

Before the game they planned to go to the Empire State Building but Carly wasn't feeling well (you will notice her "excitement" in the beginning of the vid). After her whining, the others managed to get her out of the hotel and on to a pretty stinkin' perfect day!

As they get to the top of the Empire State Building you will notice Jackson talking to Carly, kneel, and then they hug...Now here's the best part...minute 2:06 when my girl (after my own heart) pulls away to check out her ring! Perfection!

Now, at minute 3:34 she is getting off the phone saying "I'll have to call her downstairs." That 'her' she was talking about was me! Yep, there wasn't much service at the top (go figure) so all I heard on the phone was, "Emily! Guess what?" Indeed, she left me hanging for a solid 5 minutes while I was sweatin' it out in Louisiana!

As they got downstairs, Jackson surprised her with a limo and soon tells you the story of the engagement. All you southern girls prepare for Jackson's accent. It will make.you.melt.

So without further adieu...Let's roll the tears...

Just perfect, right? Now we can all go to bed with a little more love in our hearts...or possibly a little jealousy in our veins. Ahh...the romance.

My Best Friend's Wedding

Attention belles and beaus...this one's important. My best friend is engaged! Now, forgive me if this post is only partially coherent, for I am still crying (and yes, it's been 3 days since I've heard the news) (and no, I'm not being dramatic.) tears. are. falling.

Carly & Jackson

Before I tell you how it all went down, let me hit you up with a few fun facts about my girl Carly and me...

We met in high school, cheerleading of course, and became instant sister-soul mates-blonde-besties.  I have always been my most ridiculous, loudest, and obnoxious self with her (and I think she would "ditto" to the same)! Let's recap a few of our adventures...

OK, I know you're ready for the good stuff so let me indulge you. This chick got engaged on the freakin' Empire State Building. I mean, right out of stinkin' Gossip Girl. And if that wasn't good enough the rock was nuts-o. I'm talking wa-wa-we-wa worthy. Check out how it all went down...

Carly and Jackson, I could not be more happy for the both of you! I am confident that you will always be a part of my life and I am lucky to know such wonderful people! I can't wait to start planning for this shin-dig because, that's right people...I'm the

Maid of Honor!

So raise your sweet tea friends, this one's gonna be good!

(engagement video coming soon!)
