Weekend Recap: the 'Sip

Hope ya'll are having a fabulous start to your week.  I'm a little late posting this weekend recap as I needed to fully recover (both liver and sleep) from my amazing weekend in Mississippi, where my best friend E got married!

We started off the weekend by renting this guy: a brand new Altima with only 200 miles on it and no license plates.

what? apparently this was "no big deal" LOVE the honor policy!

 

 

As I've mentioned a hundred times, E's parent's are incredibly talented in the kitchen so naturally the home cooked food for the rehearsal dinner was delish!  With a wedding of only 75ish people total, we got to meet nearly everyone and I came away missing the south and all these lovelies more than ever!

 



 

wasn't she just the prettiest, happiest bride?

 

 

I find that as I get older it's fun meeting all the friends of your long time friends, because as corny as it sounds, it's nice to know that they have good people in their lives who will give them a hug when they need it.  On this trip, I loved everyone I met, mostly because their friendships with E remind me much of my own.

 

boobalicious i know.  i may have forgotten to get my significantly too large dress altered until the last minute and still could have used about a half inch taken in. oops.

 

D and I ended up being the DJ and emcee (respectively) due to some last minute changeroos, but thanks to the Mr. Jobs for creating the iPad and some (probably 19 year old) genius for creating Spotify, AND lots of wine on my part, we were able to pull it off without a hitch.  Not to toot my own horn but I may have received a job offer from the Blue Rose in Biloxi :) Just sayin...

 

Naturally, today (and really yesterday, although not as consciously) I'm back at work and trying to rehydrate.  Good thing I have THE BEST WEDDING FAVOR EVER, a very Mississippi koozie.

 

that's sparkling water, not a miller lite.

 

On a related health note, I'm going back Paleo today, at least mostly.  I tried this awhile ago and discovered in progress that I'm pretty sure I have a mild gluten allergy because as much as I love pasta and bread, I feel AMAZING when I obstain.  To kick it off, I made these pancakes, recently crafted by one of my besties who just did the Whole 30.  Check out her blog to see all the yummy treats she made (pre and during- she's a rock star baker)

 



food porn that is legitimately delish.

 

 

Hope you are having a wonderfully healthy fall day!  Back with more fun house nonsense this week, now that we've put a bookmark in wedding season - whew!

 

xoxo,
