Home Sweet Home

Michael and I went home for the weekend to see my family and go to our friends Taylor and Evan's wedding. We only spent a short weekend at home, but I felt that we successfully made our rounds and were able to see lots of family and friends, which made for a great weekend. My aunt Paula celebrated her birthday, so we headed to her house on Friday night to do an ol' fashioned family cookout (minus the softball game-sorry Michael). I always love the opportunity to see my whacky family, and we had an awesome time. Saturday started early with a good washing of the car since it was spattered with bug gut graffiti all over the front of it! We fit in a few games of bowling with my parents mid-afternoon. I came in last place both times (always seems to be a theme with me!), but it was great fun. Saturday night, we headed to the wedding. I wish I would have taken my camera to the wedding on Saturday because everyone was absolutely beautiful, especially the bride, but I wanted to enjoy myself without having to worry about lugging around my camera. It didn't really look good with my outfit anyway!

Here are some shots of my family I took during my aunt Paula's birthday cookout.

Mondays

I spent a wonderful weekend with my mom who flew in to Tennessee this weekend. We did what all mothers and daughters do...shopped until we couldn't shop anymore! And although I got some really great spring clothes, the best thing about shopping with her was that we laughed more than I can ever remember laughing with my mom in a long time. It was really nice to let loose and have fun and laugh about stupid stuff that I really couldn't even tell why it was actually funny.

Another fun part of her coming was she showed me how to start making jewelry. I made some really amazing earrings and bracelets, so I guess you could say I am pretty proud of myself! As much as I like jewelry, this is a great way to be creative, look great, and save money! I am all about that! Plus, it is a great way to pass the time, since I need something better to do with my downtime than watch tv.
