I'm still alive

I am still alive, but a little behind on blogging. This is what I have been up to.

Anywho, I still wanted to share our trip to Nashville to visit our awesome friends Kim and Nick and few weeks ago!

They've got a great house outside of Nashville, and we planned a spur of the moment trip to visit them in the Music City. Hollie did a great post on the trip - read the deets here.

Friday night began with a trip to a local winery. It was so pretty and picturesque, and they offer free wine tastings - score!

After vino, we hit Puckett's -  a local place where a great live band was playing!

My and David's sweet suite at Casa Campbell

 Saturday was spent by the pool playing games and catching up!

Later, we headed to downtown Nashville for a drink before dinner - I want to come back and explore here again!

Our trip to Nashville with the Hills was so fun, and we can't wait to see the Campbells again soon!

Meanwhile, a few more goings-on:

This is an unrelated picture, but I had to share my Mom and her cute girlfriends at their annual beach trip! 

And on another note, we had family pics taken over the weekend. They were originally planned for Mother's  Day, but there was a torrential downpour that kept us from taking them. 

The whole fam loaded up and headed to the farm on Sunday afternoon. Overcast and cloudy, it was a pleasant June afternoon with hardly any gnats or heat! 

The talented Ashlee Culverhouse took them, and we are so pleased with the sneak peek! click here for a few more!

David (30), me (28), Brince (27), my mom, dad, Abbye (21), and Asa (18)

This is def one of my faves! We were so happy that Laura Lyn joined us for some of the pics too! 

Lake Time

My bro Brince and his gf Laura Lyn came to visit this past weekend! Yay! 

We spent Friday night around the fire pit and dinner table laughing and catching up! Saturday was spent moving a few things - oh yea, have I told y'all we've bought a new house?!?! 

We found a great house over the winter that was too great to pass up. Although we haven't sold our current house, we're optimistic about selling it soon - even though we'll miss it! 

While the reno's are going on at the new crib, we're just gearing up for summer over here. 

I didn't take many pics this weekend, but here's a few from our lake time on Saturday!

Our Baxter and LL's Cooper had a ball at the bow of the boat!

And then they had to take doggie naps in the shade!

Our hunky captain!

We parked on a beach, and of course Bax made some new friends.

And little Coop explored too!

Brince and Laura Lyn were enjoying the lake, but Coop was a little apprehensive! 

Hope you all had a nice weekend too! 

To see what's going on at the new house, keep track over at Bellissimo and Bella! 

Memorial Day Weekend

 I've been a busy gal lately. Check out why here. 

Our Memorial Day weekend at the beach was awesome though. We basically sat on the beach all day and had nice dinners at night. It.was.heaven.

Here's the highlights:

Friday morning beach.
The water was only a few feet deep along the shore, and there were hardly any waves. It was amazing!!! So calm and the water wasn't too cold. 

My parents and sibs were going to Bonefish for dinner, but...

...we made our way to Seaside to join the Wages and the Caraways for dinner at Bud N Alleys - so good, and we were happy to be with our friends for the evening! 

After a beach day again on Saturday, the fam cruised to Seagrove's new restaurant V. We were seated outside as it was an incredible afternoon - not too hot. And this was our view - the ocean!

 

V is amazing! A must do if you haven't been yet!

My cousin Ivy, who graduated from high school two weeks ago, was also at the beach with his buddies celebrating their graduation. 

Sunday, our last day, was another awesome time on the beach.

Our friends Amanda, Amy, my Gongaman, and Aunt Jill joined us that afternoon too. 

Big hat + big shades = maximum coverage!

It seemed like no one really wanted to go inside since the weekend was almost over! Here's the gorgeous Sunday afternoon sunset over the beach. 

And one last family dinner at our favorite, Firefly! We love love love our time spent with all of our family, and were happy so many of us could be together for the weekend. Of course we missed LL and B, but look forward to all being together for family beach time this July!!!
Hope you all had a nice Memorial Day weekend too!
