miscellany.

here we are again, monday.
taking it like a champ as always... and looking forward to my 3 day weekend coming up!!
thank you memorial day- i'm thinking a lake trip might just be in order.

a little weekend recap is what we're here for today.

friday's relay for life was such a hit! i took my two oldest nieces with me for face painting, balloon animals, and ice cream that was ate too late at night for an 8 and 5 year old.
this was the conversation held on the car ride
back to my sister's house friday night...
lexi, 8: aunt julia- can we tell mom about our trip for ice cream?
(i sometimes let them do things but make them promise not to tell their mother- that's why i'm the best aunt in the world i know)
me: yeah she can know- we got her a treat too, so it would be pretty obvious.
layla, 5: oh... i thought both of those ice creams were for you.
me: haha, no, what did you think i was- some sort of fatty?
layla: well... you do have a big butt.
all i could do was laugh. she's right- i do have a ghetto booty.
if i ever need an honest opinion. i ask layla. she holds nothing back- obviously.

saturday i attended yet another wedding. by the time august rolls around i will have been to 6, yes 6, weddings this year. and that's only counting the ones i've gotten invites for thus far. helloooo reality check.
this weekend's wedding was another gorgeous one though. held at snow hill inn, in my hometown of franklin, nc.

meet tori and gabe mckay. adorable entrance to the reception.

saying goodbye. loved the sparklers!

wedding daaaate, ryan.

sweet klara- ultimate dancing partner. and the bud trailer in the background.

sunday ended with a dinner date with momma and a great phone call from my sister on my drive back to waynesville. i'm having some trouble figuring out my next step in life and if i'm really where i should be. being a single, independent, 24 year old career woman i'm ready for something new... but i'm not quite sure what that is just yet. the support and guidance from the two closest women in my life really help keep me focused and remind me that i've got a lot of life to look forward to.
of course my fortune cookie from dinner left me thinking as well...

... hmm... what shall i take a chance on ;)

happy monday,
j.
