A Birthday and a Wedding!

We celebrated Melissa's birthday last Friday night and attended Claire's beautiful wedding on Saturday night! Fun yet busy weekend!!

Sweet Susan, I miss you!

Month of May...Get Ready for Picture Overload!

The month of May is almost over, and I have not blogged all month!! I just got wireless Internet last night, so tonight I am updating the blog from the last few weeks. There are lots of pictures...so sorry!

May started off with a sweet wedding: Sarah and Isaac! It was a beautiful wedding, and it was also great to see old friends from college!

Sara and Christy had a Fiesta for our Sunday School class.

We all had to wear the sombreros for a picture.

A few weekends ago, I got a call from one of my good friends in Arkansas asking me to come see her. I was free and loaded up my car the next weekend for the long 6 hour drive to see her and two other sweet friends. It was well worth the drive! We had a great time, and I can't wait to do it again...well, maybe meet somewhere closer!

Enjoying a little treat after dinner!

Kelli eating her first snow cone of the summer! It was always a tradition to go eat snow cones during the summer months in Arkansas...I don't think I have had one in TN...ever. Do they make them here?

My first snow cone of the summer and in a very long time!



Last Thursday we had a shower at work...I volunteered to make cupcakes! I think they are pretty cute and were definitely tasty!

Lauren opening her gifts at the shower!

Over Memorial Day weekend, my mom, dad, and I headed to Chattanooga to see my granddaddy. We decided to take him to the Aquarium! It was a lot of fun... a lot of walking, but fun to see everything. The penguins were a favorite, but I also enjoyed the butterflies.

How cute is he?

I don't know how I did it, but I love this picture!

A sea turtle!!

I don't know about you, but if I had a huge shark coming at me...I would NOT be smiling!

Dad had fun...maybe.

When I find time to learn photoshop...I will be editing this picture for sure!

Just going for a swim!

More fun things to come this month. Hopefully not all at once in the next post!

Weekend Trips

Last weekend my parents and I headed to Arkansas for yet another wedding. This one was for a family friend that Jason and I grew up with. Somewhere there is a video of us being rock stars...don't you wish you could see that! I was on keyboard...not sure what Jason and Brock where doing. We stopped in Memphis on the way because mom had a test at the University of Memphis. Dad and I used that time to shop. I didn't have any luck with finding shoes for work, but it was fun to look (I am too picky about my tennis shoes). We also went to look at TVs and cameras, but didn't buy anything. I tried Pottery Barn Outlet again this trip but no luck there either. I made mention of getting some yummy cupcakes at Muddy's that Heather had mentioned on her blog, so we stopped there before picking up mom.

We got two red velvet with cream cheese icing, lemon with lemon icing, strawberry with strawberry icing, and chocolate with mint icing. Very good and very sweet, so we saved some for the next day! Lemon and mint chocolate were my favorites! I will definitely be making a stop there another time. Thanks for the suggestion Heather!

At some point during the trip my car reached 1,000 miles! I had to document the moment!!

On the way back, we made a stop in Germantown to see sweet Ruby (and Jason, too). We went to lunch and then explored Fresh Market...very fun. After that we ventured to the Mall...again, no luck with the shoes. I had to ask the girl to let me try on the left shoe, too. I figured the 2nd time she would know to give me the left shoe...nope, had to ask again. That made me mad, so I decided not to buy from them...I didn't care for either pair I tried on, so I probably would not have bought a pair anyway.

This weekend I headed to Franklin to visit with a couple of classmates! We missed S.C. who has to work in Hawaii...poor thing and B.P. who never checks her email! Don't worry B.P., Sept. will be here before we know it! It was nice to get away and visit with friends. Wish it could have lasted longer. I had planned on shopping since it was tax free weekend, but the crowds at the mall just about sent me over the edge...think Christmas but worse.

I have today off, so I hope to actually get my room cleaned and organized, but also enjoy the day...after I get my allergy shots. Sounds fun...I know!

A Weekend in Atlanta

I am in Atlanta with my family for a wedding. My cousin (on my mom's side) is getting married tonight!! Last night was the rehearsal dinner which was so good...the key lime pie was delightful!!
Today we got to spend time with my dad's side of the family and see the new house my cousin (Lesley) and her family are building. I can't wait to see it when it is finished!!
Here are some pictures of our time with them during lunch.
