My vacation between spring semester and summer school is unfortunately officially over today. The last few weeks have been so much fun and a lot has happened. FIRST, one of my best friends Courtney got hitched in Little Rock! She was such a beautiful bride and her wedding was gorgeous. I always love having all of my close friends in one place and this was no exception. My favorite memory was probably Courtney's sweet words about Daniel and to us at her lingerie shower. Not something you might typically expect to happen while opening these type of gifts, but also something I won't forget. Other highlights of the weekend would include the bridesmaid luncheon and slideshow Courtney had made for all of us and my sweet date who I discovered also knows every word to all 90's R & B that was ever written. :) It really couldn't have been a more perfect weekend.

BRIDAL PARTY
ADAM, ME, JENNIFER, AND DAVE
The weekend after the wedding, I had the great luxury of going to Florida with friends. Just think Real World: Destin. We left on Wednesday night and arrived at the beach house very late that night. The house was beautiful and was just a two or three minutes walk to the beach.
BEACH HOUSE
FAVORITE MEMORIES: RACK'M STACK'M. Is there a homeless man in the cabana? SPADES: TEAM COLESLAW. ACHY-BREAKY HEART. SPOONS. IT'S ONLY TWO HOURS TO KNOXVILLE. POTATO SHOTS. WE SHOULD HAVE LEFT THE HOUSE. JENNY'S DANCE MOVES.
We had a great time, but were definitely ready to get back once we found out that it was flooding in Nashville. On our way home Sunday, we had to detour to Knoxville and spend the night there because we weren't sure if we were going to be able to get back into the city. Quite terrifying to not know what you are driving into or if your friends, family, and home are okay. I was so blessed to have no damage. Just a little bit of water in my garage, but nothing that couldnt be mopped up and aired out. I have many friends from work who have lost everything that they have. It is really heartbreaking.
The last exciting portion of my vacation was Steeplechase. It just goes by so quickly! I attended the annual sleepover at Matt's house where we woke up the next morning and drank mimosas and ate cinnamon rolls. We got there at around ten....pretty much blinked and it was five o'clock.
