A Wedding Weekend

I get back into NYC today, walk into work around 1:30 pm. I get about 50 questions coming in from all different directions about my weekend. My response to every question: it was one of the best weekends of my life. The obvious reason was just being at home with the people I love and the people that love me. Second, I got to spend an entire weekend celebrating my brother and my new sister. If you know anything about us, you know that family is everything to us. And to officially not only have a new sister, but to join together an entire new part of our family was so, so special. Friday night was rehersal dinner. And all my precious Hope crew SERVED us the entire night. It was honestly one of the strangest feelings to have so many of my good friend serving us. And still so special. Everyone got up and shared some pretty wonderful things about my big brother, and it was a true testiment to the amazing man he is and fantastic husband he will be. Saturday was pure celebration. It really was so powerful to be surrounded my so many people that love Morgan and Lauren and our families.

I'm sure there will be hundreds of pictures to come, but I want to share my favorite picture of the night that I have gotten to see (Thank you, Nancy Cunningham!!)

This was me and my Pop dancing to Sweet Caroline (as you probably know, my first name is Caroline). This was one of the first songs that was played, and no one had really joined on the dance floor yet, so I grabbed by dad and we busted it out on the dance floor. As you can see, we were having the time of our lives. 

More picture to come, I can only assume, but for now - I'll just leave up my favorite.

Thank you, Memphis, for welcoming me back with open arms!

Happy Fathers Day!

Dear Pop,

Thank you for being the most supportive, loving father any young woman could ever ask for.

What makes a good dad?

He shows up.

He's there. And he always has been! Being a father is such a high calling, and my father has always modeled his life after the Holy Father. Thank you dad for committing your life to loving and supporting your family. Our mom, us. You've established a legacy, and Wright, Morgan, and I will always carry that with us.

We love you so so much!!!!!

THREE DAYS!!!!

Hello, again

It's been before my birthday since my last update so I thought I would check back in and say hello...
so... hello....

My math skills are a little rusty. I last posted announcing it was my 1/2 year mark in NYC. Though when I started recounting, I realized it's actually been 5 months. But alas my sixth month will be the end of this month. Right after I am home for Mo & Lauren's wedding. Speaking of, exactly two weeks from right now, we will be celebrating their marriage at Opera of Memphis. I am SO PUMPED. It's going to be fabulous to see everyone, especially my whole family! I'm excited to see MG's pregnant belly, too. It's going to be so nice to get out of this wild world for a weekend. Caroline's shower will be that Sunday as well so I am stoked. Open spaces....can't wait. We've also decided on a weekend for her bachelorette party. End of July in Nashville. Got a few fun things in mind for us to do. But if you have any other ideas to throw out for us to do, email/call/text me... Keeping our activities a surprise for Caroline.

Well, I am at Ali's apartment, trying to keep myself from ordering pizza. Been keeping to a strict regimine with my diet lately. So it won't be worth it to blow it with one delicious pepperoni pizza.

Well, till next time...

Cheers!
