Carrie's wedding!!

Last Saturday, one of my best friends got married to a boy that she has dated since 7th grade! Carrie was one of the girls I interned with, and I connected with her from the first day!

Carrie and her dad

 Im so glad they put their program on a flyer... it was deathly hot at the wedding!

 Carrie surprised Austin by showing up in a horse and carriage.

 I love her dress.

 This wedding was also exciting because one of my good friends was the photographer!

 Carrie and Austin wanted both of their parents to come up and say a prayer with them being newlyweds.

 the kiss.

 THEY ARE MARRIED!!

 I love their cake-topper! Its hard to see, but Carrie and Austin are both very casual, so this represents them perfectly!

The first dance.

 I hated having to say bye to Carrie and Stephanie.

Me and my sweet mama. This day could not have been possible without her!! 

Saturday.

This Saturday was such a great day!! It started off by seeing our good friends, Warren, Jill, and Baker. They moved to Arkansas in December, so this is the first time we have seen them since then!! Mama and I met them and a few others at Harvest Moon.

 Baker has gotten so big!

Baker and his daddy.

 After we had lunch, Mama and I headed to Atlanta to see one of my best friends get married. We made a quick stop to see my good friend/sister/cheerleading coach/actress, Shannen Fields and her daughter Mallory.

 I havent seen Shannen since my freshman year of college (we still keep in contact) so it was so nice to meet up with them and REALLY catch up!!!

 This is where we got our dessert. It was a "Do it Yourself Picnic Place". They had all this set up for their customers! I thought it was such a cute idea! It was way too hot for us to sit outside though!!

Our desserts!! YUM!

friends. food. tie dye.

Last week, Anthony and I went to eat with Andrew and his girlfriend.

 One of my friends, Ashley made a comment last week about how she had never been to Nothing Fancy before. We quickly decided to change that!!!

 Abbey and Ashley!!!

Another of me and Anthony...

Afterwards, we all came back to my house and did cheerleading stunts in the yard. Anthony would never admit to it, but he was the backspot! haha Mama also joined us for that!!

 We then decided to tie dye some tshirts!!

 Abbey was the only one smart enough to read the instructions!

 Ashley ready to get messy!

 we didnt use the gloves so we had dye all over our hands. I had to go to a wedding the next day, and still had dye all over me!

Our masterpieces!!

Certified Child Life Specialist!!!!

Last week, I realized that hard work really does pay off! I passed my Child Life Certification exam that I took in Washington, DC. last month!! Never in my life have I worked so hard to accomplish something. I have been studying for this exam for the past year, so it feels so good to know that hard work does pay off!!

 I recieved this email while I was watching a tv show with Mimi. I stared at my phone for about 3 minutes before opening the email. I screamed. I cried. Mimi screamed. Mimi cried. Then we both did a happy dance around the room!! I called Mama and she screamed. I called Daddy and he cried. I called Grammy and she was in the process of writing me an email wanting to know if I had the results. I called Poppy and he was excited. I called Anthony and he said he would take me out to celebrate. I love how supportive my friends and family have been with my career choice!!

 It's official!!!!!!

Anthony surprised me with these pretty flowers!

 And my parents surprised me with a cookie cake!! My favorite thing ever!!!!
