Wedding season has officially begun! The first wedding of Trent and my year of weddings is going to be Stephanie and David's wedding on April 16th. I am so glad to start off this year's wedding season with them because I am lucky enough to be a bridesmaid in their wedding! I have known David since my first days at KSU and met Stephanie while working at Barbecue Street (which is also where they met each other, and Trent and I met. It's a great place for couples). I lived with her for a little over a year until Trent and I got married last May. We have now started getting into showers for Stephanie. I threw her a shower at my house a couple of weeks ago and we are going to Destin for her bachelorette trip this weekend! I'm so excited!
This past Satruday I also made a day trip to Augusta for my dear friend Kate's wedding shower. She is getting married in Augusta on May 21st. I love going back to Augusta and seeing all my great high school friends, especially for something like a wedding. Unfortunately since I am going to Destin this weekend I will also be missing a shower for another high school friend, Danni. I do get to make it to her wedding, though, so I'm excited about that. Here's a rough outline of what we've got going on this year as far as weddings go (all of which are out of town).
April 16- Stephanie and David's wedding in Big Canoe (college friends for me, David was Trent's high school friend)
April 29- Danni and Reed's wedding in Hilton Head (high school friend of mine)
May 7- Catherine and Clinton's wedding in Augusta (mom's friend... I am actually more just helping set up and decorate for this one)
May 21- Kate and Matt's wedding in Augusta (high school friend)
June 4- Michael and Catherine's wedding in Savannah (high school friend)
September 17- Robin and Matt's wedding in Lawrenceville (work friends of mine)
September 24- Paul and Amy's wedding in Minnesota (family friend from Iowa)
Whew! I'm exhausted already! I guess this is what happens at this time in our lives, and I am loving every minute of it, even if it's busy. I love love, especially when it involves my friends. You can also add in there an amazing 1 year anniversary trip to New Orleans for the two of us! I can't BELIEVE it's already almost been a year since we've been married. It has absolutely FLOWN by and been amazing! We have decided to splurge and have a long weekend trip to NOLA. Should be very exciting! We are also taking a weeklong trip to the Boston area with my family (yes this is the same trip that started as Alaska, then switched to Wyoming, and is now Boston), a trip with a TBD location with Trent's family, and some weekend trips with friends scattered in there. I am super excited about all of it and LOVE vacation, so I can't complain!
I'm sure most of you have the same types of summers planned. It's such a fun time in life and I feel so blessed to have great friends to celebrate with. It's looking like next year will be quite similar and can't wait to see what happens ;0)
