Last Weekend's Events!

We had a very packed weekend!  Friday night we headed to dinner at Lambert's in the Hoopdy rental van with our good friends from high school (Jason & Candi, Adam & Sara, Greg & Amanda, Cory, Jered & Nicki, and Jason and I).  Amanda managed to rent the van for 30 dollars, which was a steal...considering we were all able to fit and chat for the entire trip there and back!  We had a lot of catching up to do...we haven't all been in one place for several months!  So the girls sat in the back jabbing the whole time, while the boys grunted around about hunting and all their other fun adventures!
We were worried about the long lines at Lambert's, but we were able to get right in and ate within 30 minutes!  It was crazy!  We ate like hogs and laughed our hiney's off!  I feel like everything is extra funny when we're together!  Here are a few pictures from the evening at Lambert's!

Here we are chowing down on some deliciousness!

We had to take a picture of the hoopdy!

We all felt like we were doing our senior class pictures.  Ha!

Yes, you are seeing this correctly.  Four grown men in one seat.

Fun times!

Saturday and Sunday I was in BAMA for my little sister's wedding.  Ok, so she's not really my little sister, but she might as well be!  For years, I invaded Ashley's house, bathroom, bed, life...she was considered "Lil Ashley" and our little sister.  I can't even believe she is married!  It just doesn't seem right.  We knew we couldn't miss her big day...even if it was 9 hrs away!  So, Kristen, Ashley, Lindsay, and myself loaded up in Kristen's car and headed for Birmingham.  We never run out of things to talk about when we're together and there's always a funny story to come from anything we do together!  This weekend was no different.  About 2 hours from our destination, we were hit in the rear by another vehicle.  The impact stunned us all, but thankfully we were all ok.  Noone was hurt, no damage to the car that we could tell, but the other vehicle had no insurance and no license!  We thought it was smart to file a report, in case, someone was hurt from the accident.  We were all a little shook up and slightly sore from the whiplash (later Lindsay started getting some numbness and tingling...she's fine now, but at the time I think she was pretty freaked out!).  We were able to head on our way...we had a quick picnic lunch and more laughing ensued!  We did finally make it though!  It was quite a trip and we were almost late for the wedding!

Ashley was such a gorgeous bride.  It was one of the most magical weddings I've been to and she was the most beautiful bride I've ever seen!  Seriously.  She was gorgeous!  And you could absolutely feel the love that they had for one another!

They couldn't take their eyes off one another!

Kristen and I before the ceremony started....they had reserved 2nd row seats for us!

The ceremony was in this beautiful church nestled in these big trees!

It was breathtaking!

The reception site...gorgeously lit.

The food tables!  It was amazing!
