#Schawesome

Earlier this month I traveled to Hilton Head to celebrate Schawe's last fling before the ring! Our friend Emily graciously opened her family's home to 14 ladies ready to celebrate.

Lauren is a friend of mine from college so it was a treat to get to spend a weekend with some of my nearest and dearest.

There was a lot of sipping champagne poolside.  And some straight chillin'.

Poolside shenanigans were had...

One night we all got dressed up and had a fancy catered dinner at the house and participated in some good ol' fashioned bachelorette games.

Emily, Mara, myself and Bridget <3

Lauren and I

BFF

Fancy apps!

Dessert!

We even managed to make it out to a bar for some drinks and dancing!

Overall it was a perfect trip minus one bad experience at Bomboras Grille because of hilariously bad service.

Next up is the wedding in a few weeks. Can't wait!!

Oaks and Derby 2016

Living in Louisville has its perks. Namely, Oaks and Derby!!

OAKS
We went to the track with friends on Friday for Oaks which used to be more of a local day but has gotten crowded over the years!  I was OBSESSED with my new dress that M bought me when we were in California recently.  We splurged on all you can eat and drink tickets which made the day so fun!  Lillies go down a lot easier if you're not paying $13 a pop!

Walking to Churchill!

Gorgeous day with friends.

LOVE my dress and my man :)

After a very long day we woke up super early on Saturday and made it to the track by 8:30am.  We were not messing around!!  We stayed in the Paddock all day with friends and it was perfect! And yes, this is the dress I wore to Oaks last year. Would you believe that I snuck in a whole bottle of wine under that dress?!  ;)

First Lily around 10am :)

Our little spot in the Paddock.

A storm blew through right before the KY Derby so M protected all our glassware!

Finally left the track around 8:30pm.  WHAT A DAY!

Until next year!!

Visiting NKY

Things I love about visiting my former home:

** Catching up with Mara.

** Family dinners with Mike, Abbey and Baby James.

** Stopping in to see my former co-workers.  Hi Laney!  With my favorite cookies, of course.

** Tipsy conversations with Village Pub friends.

** And then playing with C1 outside early the next morning.

** Healthy meals with mom and dad with a side of cute baby.

** MY NIECES!!!!  Killing me with cuteness.
