Weekend Whereabouts

 

 

This past weekend my family traveled to Williamsburg, Virginia to attend the funeral of my Grandfather. He owned a sign company for years. The picture above is his very first sign shop in Williamsburg.

 

My brother Ryan and me

 



 I wanted a picture of us together since we were dressed up! I can't remember the last time I saw him in a suit!

 

My Parents

 

 

On Sunday we drove down to the Outer Banks because Dad and Ryan had never been! The first stop we made was Duck Donuts.

 

These are the absolute best donuts! If you are ever in the Outer Banks you need to visit one of their locations!

 

Visiting the Wright Brothers Memorial.

 

 

We were exhausted when we finally made it home! It was an emotionally and physically tiring weekend.

Biltmore Run

Tulips at Biltmore

 

Last week a group of my friends went running at the Biltmore Estate. We are all running the Biltmore 5K in May so we wanted to go for a run on the Estate. My friend Brooke joined us and she is running the 15K in May!  It was such a pretty day and we all had a great run. I think it is very encouraging to have friends running with me. I am currently running/walking a 10:50 mile.

 

After our run we did a little shopping in Biltmore Village and had dinner at Doc Chey's.

I am looking forward to going back and running some more at the Biltmore Estate.

Happy Birthday!

 Yesterday I celebrated my birthday! At first I thought I wouldn't be seeing the girlies on our birthday because I was waiting to go visit for their birthday party in a few weeks. But I got a BIG surprise Friday afternoon at school...they came to see me for the weekend!

 

 

I was so happy I cried! It was a great way to begin my weekend!

 

On Friday night my friend Kelly came in from Knoxville to celebrate my birthday and my friends Amber and Cynthia birthdays!

 

Good times!

 

Yesterday I spent the day with the girls, Jennifer, Jennifer's mom LouAnn, and my mom. We went to the Mountain Playlodge in Asheville. (Super cool place for kids in this area!) We ate lunch at Chick-fil-A and had yogurt at Sweet Frogs.

Then we went to the Lilly store! They were having a surprise party for me!

 



 

I was lucky enough to win this scarf on my birthday! Thanks Palm Village!

My birthday message from McKinley and Myles (Hadley and Harper cousins) - too cute not to share!

 

It was a fun day! I am very blessed to have such wonderful friends in my life!

My iPhone Life

Just some random pictures I have on my iPhone.

 

Sisters.

I think my heart melted when I saw this picture. Sweet girls!

These cutie pies will be celebrating a birthday this Saturday! I can't believe they will be 3!

I tried to explain that my birthday was the same day. Not sure they get it but they did say I would be 2 on my birthday!

 

 

Julie, Terre, and Me

 

Last week my class and the other second grade classes took a field trip to Mingus Mill in Cherokee. This was Terre's last field trip. She is retiring at the end of May! Terre has been my mentor since I started teaching. I am not sure what I will do without her.

 

My Lilly inspired Silpada table.

 

Getting a Runner's magazine in the mail makes me feel like a real runner! ha!

 

My work computer. Celebrating Lilly everyday!

Oh Shift!

 

 

Last week Lilly Pulitzer announced a Oh Shift instagram contest. Of course I had to enter a picture of the cutest Lilly girls I know!

 

 

On Friday I got a notification that we were one of the top favorites in the contest.  They posted this picture on instagram. 

 

 

If you look close you will see those cute girls in the top left hand corner!

 

I was super excited that Lilly would include the picture in one of their post!

 

The winner gets a $500 Lilly gift card and is determined by the most votes on Facebook. You can vote here! Thank you for voting!

Easter



Easter was cold and rainy this year. Our morning started with going to church and ended with a family dinner.

My pictures didn't turn out to be so good. My mom, dad, and I look like we are in a fog.

 



 

We made Easter treats for my cousins that we found on Pinterest.

 

Its my Spring Break so I am off to spend the week with my girls, Hadley and Harper!

Can't wait to see these beautiful smiles!
