Fun Weekend with Great Friends!

Morning! Let's get right to a (day late) weekend recap. 

There were two special guests in town on Thursday so we decided to get together at Katie and Henry's house for a cookout/get together. Savannah was in town for a wedding on Saturday, and Jenny came to town a day early before a weekend at the beach with her supper club friends. It's rare that we can all see each other at the same time, especially since there are no more weddings to bring us together, so it was a special mid-week treat! 

Saturday morning, I met up with Shelby, Jillian, and Ally for brunch at Kitchen 208. It's located on lower, lower King Street, almost to Broad, and has a really nice (shaded) outdoor seating area. My turkey wrap was light and tasty, just what I was looking for. Bonus: it was topped with a pickled okra. 

Saturday afternoon, we went to probably one of the sweetest weddings I've been to. Both the ceremony and reception were held at Pepper Plantation. My sorority sister, Courtney Jo, and Jake, wrote their own vows and there were many tears shed by both the bride and the groom, and the guests.

On Sunday, we made the drive out to Seabrook for a fun day in the sun! These days of lounging on the beach with my friends are some of my favorite days! The spot that we go to is never crowded and the waves are so calm. Perfect area for all of the little bebes! Note to self for next weekend: don't just reapply sunscreen to your legs, your chest and shoulders need it to! #ouch

Looking forward to this upcoming weekend, as it will be my first in about 5 years where I have the entire long weekend off from work!!!! 

Seabrook Sunday Funday.

Yesterday, instead of taking the boat out, we joined our friends at the beach on Seabrook Island. It was so relaxing (except maybe for the surplus of love bugs everywhere) and fun to just hang out with everyone with no real agenda or place to be.

The picture that is sure to melt all of your hearts. It surely melted mine as I was taking it. Little Dallas loved playing with his buddy, Cameron. 

  

Our fellas, minus Grant. 

Fine lookin' group of guys, if I do say so myself. 

Dallas being silly.

 

 Little Lane enjoying the shade.

 The funniest part of the day was when Chris, Kathryn's husband, all of the sudden took off sprinting down the beach. Come to find out, he had spotted a runaway kite that was coming our way and he wanted to capture it. Little Dallas thought he was the biggest hero for that!

 

Beach Date.

Yesterday, as I was driving home from work and talking to Cameron on the phone, we decided to forgo our original dinner plans and drive to the beach to enjoy the nice weather since the rest of the week was looking pretty nasty. 

I was already on my way to Publix so I picked up a sub and some chips for a picnic style dinner. 

It was so nice to do something different and spontaneous after work, instead of our normal routine! 

Rainbow!

This guy had a blast.

Wedding Wednesday: Bachelorette Party Recap! Day One.

It's Wednesday and I think I'm FINALLY fully recovered from my bachelorette party on Wrightsville Beach last weekend.

My sweet future sister-in-law sent along this goody basket of my favorite snacks and magazines since she couldn't make the trip. The basket included salt & vinegar chips, trail mix, slim jim's, candy, Bud Light Lime-a-Ritas, cookies, moon pies and PICKLES!

 

Panty wreath! I seriously do not have to go shopping for underwear for a long, long while.

As a thank you for everyone that came, I ordered monogrammed cups from Stuart Wallace Designs.

 

Since people were arriving at all different times, we decided to go to the condo pool rather than the beach.

Cameron got some sun, too.

After the pool, we all went upstairs to take showers and get ready for the lingerie shower and some games!

 We played "Who Knows the Bachelorette the Best?"

And "Who Gave Me These Panties?"

Some people got the memo.....others...didn't. haha :)

Then the plan was just to have a low key night at the beach bars....but that's just like saying, "we'll only stay for one drink!" Yeah, it never happens.

Here comes the squinty eyes!

Stayed tuned for Day Two.....



GAME!! COCKS!!

Tonight is Game 1 of 3 in the College World Series Championship! University of South Carolina (wooooooohooooooo!!!) vs. UCLA. Saturday night we beat our instate rival, Clemson, to make it to the championship. The last time USC made it to the championship was in 2002, where they were beat by Texas so yeah, it's a pretty big deal.

My parents and two other families rented a beach house on Folly for the week so I'll be watching the game there tonight (or at a near by bar if the house doesn't have ESPN for some crazy reason). Tomorrow a few girl friends will be joining me to work on our tans and to also celebrate my Mom's **th birthday (like how I hid your age, Mom? haha)

As I mentioned in my previous post, I went to a wedding Saturday night so here are some pics!
