Weekend Recap

Labor Day | Weekend Recap

I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend and hope you were able to spend it doing something fun outside! Cannot believe it is already September!!! We are really just around the corner from the Holiday season … Gosh, I don’t even want to think about that. Friday was spent with friends embarrassingly admitting that we all learned the “Watch Me” dance together just for the fun of it. Brought back SO many great memories from our younger years because we all love dancing. Like that time in college when we were determined to learn “Thriller” … I won’t get into that story. 😉

The timing was perfect where I was able to go to the beach for the long weekend for Taylor and Jess’ wedding and I cannot tell you enough how necessary it was! Soaking up some Vitamin D with sand in between my toes surrounded by great company was the right dose of medicine I needed. <3 It seriously made me consider moving to the beach … Don’t worry my #smpbrides, I’m not. 😉 I can dream or at least consider it during the winter season, right?! Who wouldn’t want Duck Donuts all of the time? Haha! Anyways, I’m back to reality and getting things cleared off my plate this week. I’m looking forward to sharing some photos this week … rustic/country to beach!
