Memphis Weekend

This weekend I drove to Memphis for Jessi's very first wedding shower. It was a long drive, but we had a great time. I got to see my sisters, mom, Memommy, and Aunt Marlea. The shower was wonderful and Jess got so much cute stuff for their apartment. We also got to do a little shopping and had a fabulous Italian dinner with mom and Aunt Marlea. Unfortunately the weekend just wasn't long enough!

A wedding, a vacation, and some other random stuff

August has been FLYING by. I still feel like it should be July, but we've been having lots of fun. I have so much to post about, but here are the highlights-

Michael and Melissa's Wedding!

Church girls with the bea (minus a few of course)


Church boys...this is really the only picture of them I could post

FAMILY VACATION
We met my family in Hot Springs, Arkansas for a week relaxing at a house on Lake Desoto. We had a great time playing on the water, watching movies, eating good food, and catching up on some much needed sleep. Here's a few pictures of our week...

I forgot how fun tubing is...well, unless I have to ride alone with Brandon and he feels the need to battle me off the tube


Brandon got pretty good on the slollem ski


Dad on the knee board- he's still got it!


They love when I take pictures of them...they are all inspecting one of the hot springs- those hot springs are actually very hot!


Sisters, looking kinda rough in the 110 degrees (or what felt like it)


On our back porch looking over Lake Desoto


Allie and Blakey


Doing a little wedding planning on my way through Nashville


I got to see my newly pregnant BFF Beth for a short visit while I was home


OTHER RANDOM STUFF
Ever since I got out of school, I have a new-found love for reading. I am obsessed with the book I just read- Hunger Games. I just read it this week on vacation and had to force myself to put it down and hang out with my family;) I really don't want to tell much about the story, because I think everyone should just read it. It's a little weird at the very start, but then it is such a good story. I have to really have a page-turner if I'm really going to read, and this one had me hooked big time. Just thought I'd send out that recommendation...so so good.

When we got back from vacation, our hot water heater had a leak, so this week we've been dealing with getting hot water back in our house. Now that I had about a day to do some laundry, I'm headed to Memphis tomorrow after work for my sister's very first bridal shower!!! I'm pretty excited, despite the 7 1/2 hour drive.

Tonight we had our last softball game. It was not a particularly great game, but we had such a fun season. I almost got killed by a grounder to 2nd base, but somehow survived. It has been so much fun seeing our friends every Thursday night, I'm sad it's over!

Hope everyone has a good weekend, I'm headed off to my beloved Tennessee!
