Hi friends! We hope you’re enjoying a long, warm weekend as we remember those who have bravely served our country.
I spent Friday and Saturday celebrating Hillary and Andrew, who were married in a rustic celebration of looooove!
On Friday night they had a cookout at Camp Holiday Trails with burgers, hot dogs, and s’mores!!
Plus these amazing spiraled potato chips freshly made on the spot!
On Saturday morning I went to the gym for a quick workout – a little soccer on the Stairmaster!
My friend Jess is raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and jointly held a cornhole tourney with a homebrew tasting at Crozet Pizza on the Corner. I stopped in for a bit to eat pizza, taste beer and watch cornhole.
Mazen had his first taste of Nerds and adorably called them “Nerbs” all afternoon. It was so hilarious!!!
Shower beer? Shower seltzer!
Then I got all dressed up and headed out to the wedding!
Hillary looked simply stunning!!
The weather was perfect for an outdoor ceremony, and afterwards we gathered under the pavilion for appetizers, cocktails, and a BBQ buffet.
Later on in the evening we walked to the dining hall for dancing and cake!
They had four kinds of cake – s’mores, pistachio, strawberry champagne, and vanilla almond, all from Pearls. I shared pieces with friends and tried them all – the strawberry was my favorite!
On Sunday morning I went running:
And then I picked Mazen up from Matt’s and made some deviled eggs for a picnic later that day!
Mazen and I went over to a friend’s house. Have you ever played Spike Ball? I don’t really like yard games all that much, but this one is really fun! It’s like volleyball and ping pong with four players. Here’s a video! It’s ideal for a sandy beach, but grass works too.
Today we’re hanging out and going to another cookout this afternoon. I love cookout season!!

What a fun weekend this sounds like! A little bit of everything which I love!
And the Type-A personality in me loves a good schedule. That chalkboard wedding schedule had me swooning with delight!
Happy Monday and Happy Memorial Day Kath!

You look beautiful, Hillary, and I love your veil. I’m old school when it comes to veils. I always tell brides it’s your only chance to wear a veil. And your cakes look fabulous! Congratulations!
Hillary says
Thank you!!!! It was my mom’s veil!! 🙂

Aw Hillary looked beautiful in her dress and her wedding looked like my kind of wedding! Congratulations to the bride & groom! 🙂
Annie says
All looks beautiful and fun! I agree – love cookout season! (We had two this weekend.)
But most importantly, your reference to a shower beer made me laugh out loud (as I drink my daily lunchtime La Croix). #memories
