It's A Kiss, It's A Sip Of Wine, It's Summertime.

Summer Excursions...
So far this summer has revolved around trips to reunite with friends, celebrating weddings, enjoying family and facing a few fears. Perfection if you ask me!!

excursion #1...

Centreville, Maryland for Nikole (Strotman) and Zach Smith's wedding!! Nikole is a great friend of mine, who I was blessed to serve with on summer staff 2 years ago at the Young Life camp, Lake Champion.

I put on a little black dress, hopped in the car and hit the road at 6am, then drove 7 hours straight to the wedding ceremony. I loved the drive (and the funny looks I got while pumping gas in a dress and heels!) The weather was beautiful and I zipped right along the Pennsylvania turnpike for most of the drive.  

I had a little scare though, I thought I didn't have enough cash to pay one of the tolls on the drive down! So, in my little episode of panic I considered ripping into the wedding gift envelop, sorry Nikole and Zach ;) luckily I was just a turd and misread the ticket hehe

It was such a fantastic weekend! Nikole was such a beautiful bride and she married a truly incredible man. Zach and Nikole, thank you for letting me be a part of such a beautiful day!!


I also got to see Savannah and Carolyn, two other friends I served with at Lake Champion. It was so much fun catching up on each others lives, sharing stories, laughing with (and at) each other. Those girls have such incredible hearts and I love being able to share mine with them! I stole all of these pictures from Savannah because I forgot my camera :( (thanks, Savannah!)

 

I loved getting to spend the day with these ladies!

 I got to try real Maryland crab for the first time!! Definitely an entertaining, messy, and hilarious experience
