I can't believe it has been over a month since I last blogged & for that I am extremely sorry. A lot has happened over the last month to keep us busy, both good & bad things. A few times I meant to come & put a post up just to check in & say what we've been doing & that I would be back to post later, but I never got around to doing that either. I will be back-dating all of my posts so that the date they show up on my blog reflects the date around when the event actually took place (for example: I wrote this post 7/19 but am backdating it to 6/27), but keep checking in to see what we have been up to the past month.

First, one of my best friends since Middle School, Erin Killion, got married! I was honored to be one of her bridesmaids & had such a fun week of wedding festivities with her, hubby-to-be, BJ, & the rest of their family & friends. We started out on Thursday by getting lunch & then manicures & pedicures! Then later that night we went to Collin's house on Dog River for a 'Stock the Bar' dinner & cocktail party.

Friday, we all met at the Mobile Museum of Art's Palette Cafe for the Bridesmaid's Luncheon.
Friday night was the rehearsal and then Rehearsal Dinner at the Original Oyster House on the causeway. Everything was great! Look at this adorable crab cake (it tasted delicious, too):

Saturday was the BIG DAY!!! We started getting ready at the hotel at 10 AM even though the wedding wasn't until 7 PM. We enjoyed hair & makeup before pictures, the ceremony, & then the reception. I took SOOO many pictures this whole weekend but here are just a "few":

Congratulations Erin & BJ! Y'all are such a wonderful couple and I am so happy for the 2 of you. I was grateful to be a part of your special day & wish you a long, happy, blessed marriage.
