Our Event on the News!

Thank You Lowcountry!!!!!

JD and I would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who came out to support our first annual "Lowcountry's Biggest Baby Shower!". We are overwhelmed by the amount of interest and support from the community!
If you were unable to make it to the event, it isn't too late to donate items to the orphans of Kazakhstan. We will continue to accept donations through the end of the month. If you are in the Charleston area and would like to drop off your items, you can do so at the WAY-FM studios at 2045 Spaulding Drive in North Charleston or call 843.568.4664.

So much to share, not enought time to blog!!

I've been working so much on getting everything together for "The Lowcountry's Biggest Baby Shower" this weekend and I have so much exciting news to share but not enough time to blog about it!!
I hope to sit down tonight and share the latest news on what to expect for this event on March 14th....but I wanted to let everyone know that Im doing an interview that will air tomorrow morning on "The Lowcountry Chapter" issues show at 6am! We talk about Two Hearts For Hope and Kim & Stacy who started the organization, "The Lowcountry's Biggest Baby Shower!" in Charleston, Adoption, and Kazakhstan- history, culture, and baby houses! If you are in the Charleston area and awake at 6am (haha!) you can tune in to 100.9-fm on your radio....if you would like to listen and are outside of the Charleston area, you can stream online at www.wayfm.com

Our Wedding Invitation...

JD and I celebrated another anniversary 2 weeks ago (Feb 10)....and alot of our new friends who weren't at our wedding have heard that we did our wedding invitation a little bit differently than most. With both of us being radio DJ's, we decided to make our invitation into a "radio spot" and send it out to our friends and family as our invite. They would have to play it in their CD or DVD player to hear our invite. Anyway, I promised I would post it, so here it is:
PS: Yes, I know, we are dorks....thats why we married each other! :)
