If you're looking for an easy and delicious meal you should try this crockpot white chili recipe! I made it on Thursday for dinner when everybody was in town and it was really good and super easy! Claire made cornbread too so we were living large Thursday night.
Saturday I left at 5 AM for a wedding in Florida. It was a 24 hour trip and it was exhausting but very worth it. My mom's best friend from high school's daughter got married. It's funny because Jay and I feel like we grew up with Sarah and her brother Nathan even though we lived in different states and only saw each other every few years. We always would hear about them and what they were up to and we would always fall right back into our old ways when we got together.
Her wedding was in St. Augustine, Florida and was gorgeous!
Mom played at the beginning of the cocktail hour.
I was loving the navy and gold color scheme.
First highlight of the night. Bob and Sarah choreographed their first dance and went through 5 or 6 different songs with different dances for each one. They even did the dirty dancing lift in her wedding dress! They started out doing a slow song and when the music switched Bob ripped off his tuxedo pants to reveal bright gold harem pants underneath. It was awesome!
Father/daughter dance.
The second highlight of the night for me was when Sarah started crying when she saw me. It was so sweet and so unexpected and it made me especially glad I was there.
Here are mom and dad with the parents of the bride. Mom and Susie were best friends in high school and they all four went to Stetson together. They have stories of creepy double dates and we have a lot of pictures with them and the kids before we moved to North Carolina.
It was a whirlwind trip. I left at 6:00 AM Sunday morning so that I could get back to Raleigh for our end of year Raleigwood party that Derrick and were hosting at our house.
I was a little worried only a few people were coming to the party because the sign-up sheet was looking a little sparse but we ended up with a great turn out and had a super fun evening!
Not great pictures but still pictures to prove it happened! I really love the Raleighwood group and was excited to see them again before everybody gets busy with the holidays.
We had one more day with Claire and Travis so we went out to dinner last night with them and some old SMT people which was great and it wasn't quite as hard to say goodbye this time because we'll see them again in 4 weeks when they are back down here!
Meanwhile work is picking up and going really well! Three new contracts in over a week and I'm loving it! I am glad to have this busy weekend over with just because everything actually went well, no plane delays or anything like that to contend with and we got to spend some great time with great friends.
We're gearing up for another big wedding event this weekend so October just keeps 'em coming!
