Eat, Drink, and Be Married


Eat, drink, and be married. 
That about sums up our weekend.
Anticipating the most busiest weekend of the year (so far), I was stressed, and nervous to see how it was all going to pan out. 
And it was good. So good!

The plan was:
friday-wedding
saturday morning-bridal shower
saturday night-wedding
sunday afternoon-birthday party
sunday night-church

Thursday night/friday morning
we kicked things off a little early with a 3 am visit to the vet. $125.00 later we discovered miss Gemma has Kennel Cough


Friday night
 we went to a very well put together wedding of our friends.
 Noah was looking like quite the stud muffin
The food was good, to say the least
It was a good night.
Saturday morning was my beautiful soon-to-be cousin's bridal shower. And since I was a bridesmaid, I was lucky to be part of helping it all come together.
SUCCESS.

Saturday evening was a blast.
Noah went to a sleepover at his cousins house, while mommy and daddy went to another wedding.
One of the best weddings we have been to .
 the night was filled with  dancing, food, cupcakes, an open bar, more dancing, a photo booth WITH props, and more good times than we have had a very long time.
With all of the stress we have been under lately, God must have know we really needed a night like this to blow off some steam and enjoy being a married couple.
we can get so focused on getting things taken care of like work, or school, or parenting that we forget that our marriage IS a BIG priority. I have really been enjoying investing time into my husband and our marriage.
We also were lucky to meet and reconnect with some newly married couples that are our age. We see a lot of double/triple/quadruple dates in our future.
and im excited about that! 
Hearing the words spoken about marriage at the wedding we went to this weekend reminded me of how amazing and blessed we are, and how blessed I am to have my Kyle. And to enjoy marriage, and being young. and being married to my bestfriend.
 Im grateful for kyle, and that God has given me him to go through life with.

I pray that we get the blessing of growing old and wrinkly together. 

And we were lucky enough to be able to bring this beautiful centerpiece from one of the weddings home with us!

Sunday
kyle and noah went to our nephews  birthday party while mama stayed home to catch up on some homework.
then it was off to church!

So the biggest, craziest weekend of the year was amazing, refreshing and totally rad.
Thank you LORD for taking something I saw as stressful and overwhelming and making it into a blessing that I wish I could do all over again.
I may have picked up a nasty head cold, sore feet from dancing in heels, but I also picked up memories and friendships.
