Long Time Gone

Well it has been a while since I have written. Let’s just say it has been a busy past two months!

I am still working at the wedding rental company and loving it!

Our wedding expert has taken me under her wing and is showing me the ropes of wedding and event planning!

I am thrilled to be learning so much and it makes me so excited to start my own wedding and event planning business!

Just a shot from Mel's 21st Birthday!

July held many fun events and I did a lot of traveling!

First I went to Gulf Shores with the whole Peacock muster (that’s the scientific term for a group of peacocks) for the fourth of July!

We stayed at a condo that had a lazy river so obviously I spent the whole weekend floating and relaxing, which was much needed!

My former roommate Taylor happened to be five minutes down the road from our condo so I went and spent some time with her family!

I always seem to bust up in her family vacations and holidays, but they welcome me with open arms so I feel like one of their own!

After a refreshing weekend with the fam, I hit Gulf Shores again for Mary Ellen’s Bachelorette party which was a blast!

Mary Ellen's Bachelorette Party!

It was so great to spend the evening with the girls celebrating the end of Mary Ellen’s single life!

We had dinner at Cobalt which was fabulous and then headed to Flora-Bama for some dancing and drinks!

Mary Ellen looked ravishing in her 80’s wedding dress and we definitely got lots of attention being a Bachelorette party!

Then two weeks later it was off to Birmingham for Mary Ellen’s wedding!

The church in downtown Birmingham was beautiful and Mary Ellen was a stunning bride!

Luckily I had a handsome date to go with me, thank you Drew, and we danced the night away with the new Mr. & Mrs.!

The following weekend I drove to Oxford for my bestie Taylor’s engagement party!

I adore her family and had the best time just hanging around the house!

We spent Saturday preparing for the party and I definitely put some of my tricks to use!

Mama Edwards had an awesome spread of boiled shrimp, new potatoes, corn on the cob, salad, bread, strawberries and cream cheese/marsh mellow fluff dip and banana pudding!

Taylor's gorgeous ring!

It was a comfortable and laid back get together!

We even played corn hole and ladders which made for some intense competitions!

I stopped in Birmingham on my way home and had lunch with one of my closest friends Cat.

I am so thankful for her friendship and I hate that we are so far apart!

Overall I got to spend the month of July with my family and friends which is such a blessing!

At the beginning of August I decided I had too much time on my hands, so I started working at Wintzell’s Oyster House again.

Last Christmas I waited tables over the break and loved the people I met and the cash that quickly filled my pockets, so it seemed like an easy decision to go back!

So for now I am a workaholic and loving it!

I am looking forward to heading up to God’s country/the City of Champions for some Alabama Football starting in September!

Every now and then we get a cool evening and it makes me lust for fall weather!

I promise from now on I will be better about posting!

Hope everyone is doing well!

Love y’all!
