Weekend Recap

I hope everyone had a great weekend with this amazing weather!!! It was wayyyyy to pretty outside to not enjoy it in some way or another! Last week was definitely as crazy as anticipated. With the driving around days in a row definitely called for a day off to rejuvenate! It was all well worth it of course and I’m looking forward to sharing these engagement sessions with you on the blog. 🙂

Happy Father’s Day yesterday!!!! I hope all of the fathers out there had a wonderful day with loved ones. 🙂 My family and I celebrated at the famous Carousel in Warrenton for lunch and ice cream. I love my dad! It’s the small things that make his day. To continue his day, Kyle and I went along with him to check out some model airplanes flying in our fields. We have renters who created a really nice and fancy airstrip for their hobby airplanes and it was amazing to watch! Glad we were able to bond during that time together! Afterwards, Kyle and I headed to his parents house for a cookout which was amazing as always. 🙂 So fortunately, we were able to spend the ENTIRE day enjoying the weather. Makes me excited for the beach vacation I have lined up for next month! Wohoo!!! (well … until I can get my workout under control 😉 )

Here are some previews to look forward to seeing on the blog this week!
