Lake time

Yesterday we packed up all the cars and decided we would head to the lake house for some r&r before our long 3 day drive to Tacoma. Today we are lucky to get a late start! We are heading to Oklahoma city (about 6 hours) to see chris's cousins and possibly push onto Wichita (2 hours from there).

Here are some pictures from the cabin!
Please pray we have safe travels. I'll do my best to keep everyone updated.

Love y'all. Xo

Memphis

I'm sorry I've been slacking on the blog this past week! We have been spending some quality down time in Memphis. Its been so nice to just relax with the family! We spent this past weekend in Oxford (post to come soon) having a blast at the Ole miss Texas game!

Here are some pics from our time here in Memphis!

Birmingham Weekend.

Well our Apt was all packed up come Friday afternoon... nothing left but everything we were planning on strategically stuffing in our cars. We threw a suitcase and air mattress  in the car and headed to Birmingham for a fun filled weekend and some SEC football.

Friday night we met Whitney, Joel, Robby, Stephanie, Sydni, and Drew at Avo above Dram for dinner. http://www.avorestaurant.com/   The food was amazing. Dram is a whiskey bar, so I decided to branch out and try a bacon Bourbon drink... i thought maybe my love of bacon might make up for the fact i really don't like bourbon... it didn't. After making everyone at least try it, I decided not to even try and finish it and ordered wine instead.

Saturday morning we headed to Tuscaloosa.  Chris's cousin and his fiance Stephanie were so welcoming and hosted us in their tent!

After hours tailgating in the Quad, it was time to head it to the stadium. Joel was able to get us amazing seats!

After a 21-0 first half against Western Kentucky, we decided to head back to B-ham to beat the traffic. We were not going to let the party stop there. We went straight to the Tin Roof. Such a fun bar. Cornhole and plenty of Tvs with football on in the outside area, and later in the evening a band to kick off the dance party!

Sunday morning came to fast. We headed to Chris' aunt and uncles for brunch. His uncle whipped up  pancakes, eggs, and bacon! Perfect breakfast for after a long night out... not to mention the mimosas helped :)

Once we got back to Columbus it was all business getting out apt cleaned and cleared out! Monday morning around 11 est we were on our way to Memphis! So happy to be spending some quality time st home before the cross country drive! 

hope everyone has a wonderful week

love yall. xo. 

Last day of work

Today was my last day of work :( I have really enjoyed my time at Servicemaster and am hoping I can work with the franchise out in Tacoma. I've met some amazing people that I hope to keep in touch with for a lifetime! Servicemaster has been a company close to my heart for a majority of my life and being able to work for the Columbus franchise was such a blessing!

Mr. & Mrs. Kopsie

This weekend Chris and I had the honor of being a part of the Cooper/Kospie nuptials. It was such a beautiful and fun wedding!! The festivities kicked off Friday with the rehearsal dinner at the Old Train Depot!

yummy crab legs

soon to be Mrs. Kopsie



besties.

The wedding was GORGEOUS!!!!! Courtney looked stunning walking down the aisle, and I have never seen a groom more eager to kiss his bride. We all thought a couple times it was going to happen before "you may now kiss the bride" It was so cute :) and OMG the reception was beautiful. Courtney Clothier and I were obsessing over the table linens! They had a photo booth too which we had a blast using... some more than others....

After such an amazing day, what better way to follow it than tailgating before the Braves game. As fate would have it, the Braves were playing the Phillies which just happens to be where Josh is from!!!

CONGRATS Josh and Courtney!!! Wishing you both a lifetime of love, happiness and laughter. Thank you so much for letting us be part of your special day!

Love yall. xo.
