Weekend Recap

wedding_header

I realized this past weekend was my last free weekend for the next ten weeks due to the wedding season. Plans were made to enjoy the outdoors and soak up the warm sunshine by the water while camping … that changed when spring went on a little vacation! It’s okay though because I was excited when my friends were able to have a girls day Saturday! Doesn’t happen very often with our typical conflicting schedules. 🙂 It is so good to the soul to get away from the working mind and be spontaneous with dear friends. Yesterday, Kyle and I didn’t make any plans except soak up some sunshine, run out for some yummy cheese and crackers and rent a Redbox movie, The Imitation Game. 🙂 A wonderfully spent Sunday! By the way, the movie was awesome! Be sure to pick it up and check it out yourself!! Cheers to a beautiful start to this last week of April!

Last week, I was a part of a beautiful Cinderella styled shoot and I am excited to share with you a little sneak peek!!!
