A weekend at home

Last weekend Wesley and I stayed in Atlanta...I know hard to believe huh? We were so excited to have some time in the city for a change. I started Friday with a quick workout and then met Nicole to do some shopping. We went to Brick Store Pub in Decatur for lunch. It was really good and I suggest you give it a try and the chicken salad melt!

Then we stopped at The Yard Sale put on by a church in Decatur. It was quite unbelievable! There was so much stuff.  I did end up snagging this chair. It needs a little love, some paint
and new fabric will do just right. I might even add casters so wesley can use it as his desk chair (and no we don't have a desk yet). 

We had dinner with Nicole & Hunter at Chef Ford Fry's new restaurant The Optimist. It was pretty good; if you like oysters they have an oyster bar and everyone at the table raved over the "Angels on Horseback."

Saturday we went down to Piedmont Park to watch the Red Bull Soapbox Race. 

It was hilarious! Teams make these non-motorized cars to race down the course. They are judged on creativity and time and whatever else the judges like. Here are some of the crazy cars.

We were standing right in front of the first jump.

The Sweetwater Car was the winner.

We left to get some food from the Banged up & Mashed Food Truck and headed to the lawn to watch more of the race.

That night we grabbed Pizza from Blue Moon Pizza with Lauren & Ryals. 

 They had been moving in all day, so we took a spin through their new married pad. Here we are checking out the rooftop pool we hope to lounge by soon. 

blurry- I know 
Sunday was no day of rest for me. I hadn't been to Scotts yet and I was dying....dying to get there. It opened at 10am and I was there right after to start my search. Unfortunately, it was a gross rainy day and so some of the vendors had already packed up. I still found some pretty eye candy though.

 Fabric...you might see this again.

 This desk is my dream desk for Wesley, but with a $$$ price tag and 2'' too long I had to leave with just a picture.

Ahhh, so nice to be at home and enjoying the fun town we live in, but now we are off again. Destination: Nashville!

Rewind...

I am so out of order with my updates, but you know thats just how my summer is...all over the place. 

I wanted to share with you just a couple of pictures from our Memorial Day Weekend. Yes, I know I am really behind! Wesley and I went to Lake Blackshear for Memorial Day to spend some time with both sides of our families. 

 Friday we were able to get out on the Hill's new boat and cruise for a bit before we cruised to Cypress that night to listen to Confederate Railroad..not the best entertainment around. I think the boat ride on the way over might have been more entertaining. 

 I even ran into my cousin Robert!

Saturday my family joined us at the lake for some boat time. Brecken & Jack love being behind the boat.

We got to meet up with Jill & Davis and do a little wake surfing. 

They even got me in the water for a try.

 Sunday we headed upriver for a little lunch picnic on the boat. 

Sunday night my parents cooked a low country boil. 

And Brecken got to show us his first "weapon" a BB Gun. He showed us what he learned and shot the can in the tree every time!

And this is the boys favorite thing to do when they visit GiGi and Poppi...

and this is Uncle Wesley's favorite thing

Monday we headed back home for two days before we left again to go down to Port St. Joe for the wedding I talked about last week. Have I confused you yet? I am all out of whack!!

Beautiful Beach Wedding

Im going out of order on our events, but I just can't wait to show you Joe & Kathryn's Wedding.

They got married down in Port St. Joe at Kathryn's family's place on the beach.

We got down to the quiet peninsula around 3pm on Thursday. 

Wesley and I went straight to the ocean; we were the only people out there all day.

It was like our own private beach.

 Thursday night we went to Indian Pass Raw Bar for dinner with everyone in town.

We also got to meet Madi Grace, Will & Ashley Herrings new baby girl.

Friday was beach time; the boys played Bocce Ball and fished all day. 

They caught this shark.

and Madi Grace took a beach nap or two

Friday night was the Rehearsal Dinner out on the beach. It was gorgeous. The set up looked like an ad right out of Pottery Barn. 

Time for toasts...

We enjoyed a low country boil and then danced the night away to the tunes of Chris Alvarado.

and sweet Madi Grace was doing this...

Wedding Day was another day at the beach where the boys played full contact whiffle ball. Of course they would incorporate tackling somehow. 

After a full day in the sun it was Wedding Time.

The ceremony was out on the beach in front of a driftwood cross.

The reception was in front of the McMillan's house across the street. The white tents, the lights, flowers, and everything driftwood was breathtaking! 

Here you can see the boutonnieres, the driftwood cross favors and the oyster bar.

 

The cakes...

The first dance...

 and then it got crazy...the dance of the night...the Catdaddy

We even got Jeb out there with his crutches (He tried to do a backflip on Friday night and didn't quite land it) Oh wait I think I am supposed to tell you he jumped out of the back of the truck and landed on a rock. Yea, thats the story we are going with! 

and guess what Madi Grace did..

Sweetest Baby EVER!

 When the party was over we sent them off with sparklers. Congrats to Joe & Kathryn!
