busy busy bees

You will never guess what we did this past weekend... Went to a wedding?  You are getting so good at this game!  Last weekend I don't think we stopped moving all weekend long!

Friday night we went with our friends John Wade & Mandy (who are expecting a baby girl in the beginning of October like my sister is) to the 1st annual St. Paul's vs. UMS alumni rivalry football game.  This was absolutely hilarious to see guys anywhere from 22 to 60 years old out on the football field for the 1st time in years!  St. Pauls (my alma mater) won 10-0 and despite many bruises, cuts, and sore muscles, I think the actual injuries were kept to a minimum.

Saturday, after Ben played golf (his new favorite thing to do), we went to our friends Andrea & Mac's wedding shower shrimp boil (hosted by Austin & Stephanie).  We weren't able to stay long though, because we had a wedding to make it to!  Ben's classmate & longtime good friend Emily married J on a rainy, humid, June afternoon in Mobile.  The rain came pouring down right as they were walking out of the church but finally decided to stop so that everyone could make their way to the reception.  Natalie & Stephen were there too.

Sunday morning we had the honor of attending our good friend William's (& Fay's) son's Baptism & brunch afterward.

After that weekend full of celebrations, we went to see my parents & didn't get home until late so we were exhausted & needed to get to bed early to prepare for the next busy week!

Good post and all, but that pic of u and me is horrific! It looks like I stuck my head in a microwave and it shrunk to a disproportionate size! Ewww!!
