Annual Braves Game Weekend

Braves Game weekend -- so graciously planned by Kristin and Tim -- has always been one of my favorite post-college gathering, and this year was no disappointment. In fact it was the best one yet...

Arriving at Kristin and Tim's house in Atlanta

Together again

Weekend koozies were made, of course!

The Hill's infamous hotdogs were had by all during the pre-game cookout - can't get enough!

LOVE these ladies

And a side celebration was going on since Kristin and Tim had recently got engaged -- YAY!!!

Oh yeah, and there were glitter tats

Laura's tattoo placement was questionable



Ryan getting some lovin'

Our turn

Yes, this is our charter bus for the evening

Best. Idea. Ever.

Miss my bestie

I have no words.

I think I have a million pictures of the 4 of us on this bus ride.
There were a lot of classic 'prune' pics too.

Ryan and Allen

So much fun!!

Kiki and Erin

haha

Typical.

So enjoying my Dippin Dots


We won! (I think) ;)

Can't wait until next year already!

Fall is Here

Today is the first day of autumn!! Between football games, engagement parties, and beginning my new job (Oct. 11), and the holidays soon upon us this fall is sure to be an exciting one! I love everything about the fall... feeling the weather cool off, transitioning into my fall wardrobe (jackets, scarves, and boots!), watching the leaves change colors, dinners on the patio, and just spending more time outdoors. Maybe I can even talk Ryan into a bike ride or two! ;)



BUT to enjoy one last ounce of summer Ryan and I are headed to Rosemary Beach today!! I can't wait to get down there and bask in the sun one last time, enjoy a cocktail or two, and eat some delish seafood! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

4th of July Fun

Now back to the summer recap...

Us Nashville girls spent our long 4th of July weekend celebrating Meg's bachelorette party!! Thursday after work we traveled to Knoxville to stay the night with Bev and Christian and break up the drive a bit. Then Friday morning bright and early we were off to Charlotte, NC! We stayed at the Omni downtown and it was perfect. We could walk to everything and the hotel had an amazing rooftop pool that we were loving come Saturday. They even had a DJ to keep the pool party alive. It was so fun! This was my first time visiting Charlotte and I really loved the city. I cannot wait to come back and visit my sissy! But back to the bachelorette...

Shortly after arriving to the city we grabbed lunch outside and this is our bachelorette sipping her first drink of the weekend

Working on our own refreshing beverages

Natasha, Bev, and Sara

Me and the soon-to-be Mrs.Grunke

On the dance floor

Now on to the next bar and riding in the karaoke cab! This was SO fun! Everyone in Charlotte needs this guy on speed dial.

It even had a disco ball... what's not to love

And finally back at the hotel at Meg's favorite photo shoot spot :)

This is where we spent all day Saturday rejuvenating ourselves for the main night!

The sign on the door for the shower - cute!
Putting on the finishing touches



Meg walking in to the shower - decked out in white and so excited!

Love me some Bev

So good to see Jamie!
