Nashville and Auburn

A few weeks ago Caroline and I headed to Nashville for a girls weekend with Mary Brantley and Erin. It is safe to say C partied hard with the girls and was completely exhausted by Sunday. Totally worth it though! It is such a blessing to me having wonderful friends not only love me, but love my child just as much.

Dinner and live band...

turned into dance party.

Up way too late!

And last week, JP and I finally got our weekend away. We wanted quality time together, to sleep in Saturday morning and eat good food. JP planned a weekend for us in Auburn. I know you are all shocked I would love a weekend in Auburn! Besides going to football games, we have not been back to Auburn since I was in school and we were dating. We have so many great memories in this little town. We hit up Big Blue, Amsterdam's, J&M, a jog through campus, afternoon naps, and a little shopping. Simple. Low-key. Perfect.

Backyard Fun

Okay, actually this was in our front yard, but backyard sounded better. This afternoon was Caroline's first experience playing with the hose in the yard. John is in the process of planting new grass in our front and backyard. So, as he was watering the new grass Caroline quickly discovered the hose. Our sweet neighbors joined in the fun too and another friend happened to stroll by and snap a couple pictures on her phone. I love afternoons playing outside! I think we have many spring and summer days to come enjoying in the sprinkler and hose in the yard.

City Escape

A couple weekends ago we headed to north Georgia to meet baby Ethan.

It was a great weekend to enjoy the weather, play outside, grill out, watch some high school baseball, eat a big Sunday lunch and rock on the front porch.

And oh so nice to be outside the city too.

The older I get the more I love the simplicity in a small town.

*don't worry Ethan was only face down for a second as we snapped a picture or two
