Whirlwind Weekend

Two weekends ago, we made a whirlwind trip to Nashville for Aaron's wedding. We drove up Friday night after Brad got off work, arriving about 11:30 that night. The trip took a while because we had to make several stops looking for gas (lots of places were out), Emily had to eat once, and then there was the time I thought Emily had to eat, but it turned out to be a really good fake-out on her part. I think she wanted out of the car seat--smart girl we've got! :)

Saturday morning we met Britt, Shelley, Tess, Hudson, and both their families for a big breakfast. Thanks, Mr. Little, for treating us to breakfast! You were very sneaky!

I made a quick visit to my sister's house to see her and my niece and nephews. Emily played with her cousins and got in a little nap before we headed to lunch at Mazatlan with Britt and Shelley. It felt like old times sitting around the table there!

Then we headed over to Taylor's house to hang out for a few minutes and to get ready for the wedding. Poor Taylor was on call at the hospital, so we never even got to see him. We missed you Taylor! Thanks for letting up play at your house!


Then it was off to the wedding in Mt. Juliet. We, of course, arrived just moments before the wedding began. (I can't be early to save my life anymore!) As we were sitting down, I looked down the row to see Tamera, my old boss at Lipscomb, and Rebecca, Eric, Abigail, and Ansley. What a fun surprise!!! Rebecca and I got to catch up some during the wedding since our girls weren't exactly on their best wedding behavior. We stood back behind the tent and chatted. Emily LOVED the girls and even puckered up and leaned over to kiss Abigail at one point. It was so sweet!

Emily wanted to play with Tess.

I thought Emily's hands were tiny until I saw this

After some pictures with the bride and groom, we decided to head to Steak and Shake for a late supper before Brad and I headed back to Tupelo. It was definitely a whirlwind weekend, but we loved getting to see everyone!

Fun weekend! I don't know if you know this, but Taylor's house was our old house (1st house). We lived there for almost seven years. Sniff! I recognized it immediately from the minor picture you showed (and then I enlarged the pic and saw the countertops in the background). Emily is too cute - I love all her rolls!
