Taylor had a puppet show at preschool and did very well! She played the part of Little Red Riding Hood in the play. She was one of the softest speaking out of all the kids, but knew her lines perfectly!

Elkins Wedding Weekend in ATL

We headed to Atlanta for the weekend to see Jason's college buddy, Scott Elkins, get married! It was a jam packed weekend, but we had a blast!

We flew in Friday and the guys headed out immediately for a friendly little soccer game in the middle of downtown Atlanta. Tara and I went out to lunch and enjoyed catching up!

Scott's high school and some college buddies

Carrying the future groom!

Since Josh and Jason were not in the wedding, we didn't have to go to the rehearsal dinner and were able to meet up with the Johnsons! This was our first time in a long time getting to hang out with them without kids. It was super fun to be able to catch up with them, they seriously make us laugh!

Dinner with the Johnsons

After dinner, we met up with Scott, the wedding party, and Jason's buddies from college! To say that we had fun on Friday night would be an understatement. We laughed so much, hung out with great friends, and danced the night away. I don't think we made it back to our hotel until 3:30am the next morning. We all definitely felt our age and were crazy tired, but it was so much fun!!!

So great to see Chris after 10 years!

Since I was in Atlanta, I HAD to make time to see one of my best friends from high school. So after 5 hours of sleep, I got up to meet Tanya for breakfast. I hadn't seen Tanya in a few years and we had the best time catching up. We started out by having breakfast at the Flying Biscuit which is owned by the Dixie Chicks. It was one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. We then went to a coffee shop so that we could keep on talking. We talked non-stop for 5 hours and could have kept going for the entire day! Love that girl!

yummy breakfast

20 years of friendship!

While I was having breakfast, the guys met up with their mom for a quick brunch and then were put in charge of transporting a 4 person bike across downtown Atlanta for Scott and Lee's wedding departure. This was a sight to see personally, and I was disappointed that I couldn't witness this craziness in person.
