Wedding #5 Congratulations to JP and Lindsay Troha!!

We forgot to take pictures at the wedding, I hate when I do that!  It was a beautiful wedding and wonderful reception with all of our friends in Atlanta.  While in Atlanta we stayed with one of my closest friends Megan.  We don't get to see each other often but I sure do love it when we get together. 

Tommy had class until late Friday night so we were especially late getting to Atlanta that night but were up pretty early ready to head to the pool.  The first time I met Megan was in Tuscaloosa laying out by the pool, definitely one of our favorite things to do.  Tommy had to do tons of school work while we were at the pool as he was going into the last week of his mini-term.  He finally took a little break and we headed off to a delicious restaurant, Roasters.  It was a meat and 3 type place, so good!!  That afternoon we had to do a little shopping because of course I forgot my shoes to go with my dress for the wedding.  No worries, DSW was right down the road... sooo many shoes, ahhh just makes me happy haha. 

That night it was off to the wedding (in case the rapture occured we all felt pretty good about being in church, ha) and then the reception.  Everyone had a great time and I even enjoyed it minus any drinking.  Baby Candler and I were the DD for the evening.  We were late getting in that night too but thank goodness so was Megan.  I would have felt terrible if two nights in a row she had to wait up for us. 

Sunday morning we were up and headed off to another fabulous restaurant near Megan called the Flying Biscuit.  Let me tell ya, I love just about any kind of grits but these were definitely at the top of the list.  On one weekend we were introduced to two great places that we will have to return to the next time we're in Atlanta!

Wedding #4 Congratulations Graham and Andrea!



We had a great time in Evergreen at the Ward/Lemmond wedding.  It was nice to travel to Monroeville for the weekend and just ride over for the wedding. 

Wedding #5 Congratulations to Cory and Hayley!  We were not able to make it to the wedding but wish them the best!

Aunt Aspen

I have been meaning to post pictures of Aspen's cute little nieces.  My aunt and uncle breed huskies and they bred Aspen's brother to another husky they have, Vallie.  I had forgotten how fun and cuddly they are as puppies!!  One of them (Andi) is just down right naughty but so stinking cute.  They are all three black and white females so my cousin named them after the Black sisters in Harry Potter - Bellatrix (Bella), Narcissa (Cissa) and Andromeda (Andi).


Andi and Bella

Cissa (she's my favorite!)


They are worn out from their photo shoot and just napping with Mom. Well, all except for Andi in the back.

This is Basil, their dad and Aspen's brother.



It's so fun to play with Basil because he and Aspen have the same mannerisms and facial expressions.  I love the similarities knowing they grew up completely separate.  Nature vs Nurture has always intrigued me, even in dogs!

Wedding #3 Jeremiah and Ashley Culwell

Wedding #2 The Royal Wedding

So, I wasn't actually there but I did get up at 4:00 AM to watch all the coverage.  I know, I'm crazy but I've been so into this wedding.  I think because Prince William and Kate are so close to my age.  The wedding was just beautiful and I absolutely love to watch the formality and traditions that are so important to the royal family.   It's all such a fairy tale and I couldn't resist getting sucked in :)




Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge!

Weekends

The next weekend after the wedding we headed off with the Myers family to Barber's Motorsports for the Indy Race.  We got to go last year and had a really good time so I was excited about going again.  It was almost identical weather both years - beautiful and hot!  Oh and my camera battery was still dead from the wedding, oops!  We had to use the camera on our phone.

Clay


and as Clay says... Big Tom Candler




My parents were here the weekend after that during some of my mom's spring break.   The Saturday of that weekend we went to Tuscaloosa (roll tide) for A Day.  We had another weekend of beautiful weather (after we survived some horrible storms on Friday night).  More iphone pics.

Mom and Dad at A-Day.  It was a little cool that morning so Mom bought Dad a sweatshirt hoodie.




Wedding #1 Stacey and David

I've been a little out of pocket lately in my blogging world.  Here are some pics from our first wedding of the season.  My camera battery died before I got to take a picture of the me and Tommy or me and the bride for that matter.  Congrats to David and Stacey Boussiere!
