weekend in Knoxville with old friends and new friends

In typical fashion, I didn’t take any pictures this weekend. And it’s really a shame because we had a wonderful weekend with so many great friends!

Meghan’s wedding was beautiful, the reception was so much fun with some of the most entertaining dancers I’ve ever seen, and, as always, it was a blast to catch up with all of Todd’s law school friends and their spouses that we only see once a year or so.  Everyone has always been so friendly to me (Todd and I met after he finished law school) and they’re all just so funny and fun to be around.

We took Hudson and Hayes with us when we realized my mom couldn’t come to town to keep them. Meghan hooked us up with a fantastic babysitter for Saturday. She took the boys to the park, ordered room service, bathed them, and had them asleep by 8:30. I was very impressed! I wished she lived in Columbia! (Samma, I’m giving you her number!)

On Friday night, we went with Jen and Matt to Calhoun’s on the river when we got to town. It was a super late night for the boys, but the live music kept them in a trance and they were mostly pleasant about the experience. Hayes was hamming it up for the beautiful Jen!

On Saturday morning, Todd and I took the boys to the park and Samma and Dell Harper met us there to play. I hadn’t seen Samma since Hudson was only 6 months old, and it was so much fun to visit with her and finally meet the adorable Dell Harper. (Again, no pictures. I guess we were just too busy gabbing and having fun.)

I have a sweet sunburn to show for our fun time outside in Knoxville!

At the reception, I met two of Meghan’s bridesmaids, who also happen to read my blog. I wish I could move to Marietta and hang out with them all the time because I’m pretty sure they’d be my new best friends! (Girls! Email me so we can get together when I come to Atlanta later this summer.)

The bride was stunning and the wedding was so sweet and special. I’m so happy we made the trip.

Last night, we had something at church called “A Night of Community.” It was a really neat time of prayer and worship. And we had an ice cream social afterward. I’m so thankful for our church and the friends that Todd and I have made, and especially the friends our kids have made through our church.

We have a fun week coming up with swim lessons, a huge Erin Condren giveaway, and Hudson’s 4th birthday! (I can’t even talk about the birthday without starting to cry.)

I hope you all had a great weekend!

    Sounds like a fun weekend!

    Although I’m sure you wish you’d taken lots of photos, it’s just proof you were too busy have a great time with fun friends!

    Random question for you and I hope this isn’t distasteful. Are you selling any of Hudson’s clothing? I have a baby Hudson coming in a few weeks and I wasn’t sure if you sell it or are keeping it for memories? I’d love to unload some off of you!

    We loved getting to see you & Todd this weekend! Thanks for the encouragement and advice on motherhood. (And while I know you’re talking about those army guys, I’m going to assume you were including me in the “entertaining dancers” category as well. ;))

    Erin, it was such a pleasure to meet you. You were so gracious and just as sweet as I imagined you to be. Please let us know when you’re coming to Atlanta. Melissa and I would love to take you to lunch at one of our favorite spots!

    Sounds like an amazing weekend with friends and the fact that you didn’t take a single picture just shows you were truly too busy having fun! <3

    You’re coming to Atlanta?! Would you be willing to do a happy hour or something so your readers could come meet you?

    The best times are the ones when you’re having so much fun you don’t think to take a single picture. 🙂 Sounds like a wonderful trip!
