capitol adventures: Recap of the past 2 months: Part 2

In mid-April, we had the pleasure of hosting our good friends, James and Beth during their visit to DC. We had such a great time touring and we made many wonderful memories in the process!

The Washington Monument never gets old...

Inside the Library of Congress...incredible!

Outside of the Supreme Court...Beth was so excited!

Oh hey there Obama, mind if we hang out on your lawn?!

So gorgeous!

View from the top of the Newseum...a must-see in DC!

The weekend of April 21, I had the privilege of traveling to Mississippi for my dear friend Leesa Marie's wedding. It was so special to be there with her and see her marry her best friend, Jackson! I had never been to Mississippi, and the entire experience was incredible...Southern hospitality to a "T"!

Leesa Marie and I on Friday morning after I arrived. All of us girls stayed in this GORGEOUS B & B. The owner was a delight...he told us the entire history of the house and town. On top of that, he went to high school with Elvis Presley!

Our home for the weekend!

The incredibly delicious cake!

I helped pass out "oaks lily" drinks to guests when they arrived at the Banks House for the reception.

So fun!

My super-creative friend Ngoc helped me make this cute wedding gift for Leesa Marie using one of her and Jackson's favorite songs :)

The following weekend, Tim and I visited Kansas to see family and friends and attend the 5th annual Sabethapalooza celebration at my parent's house! I'm very thankful to my parents and brother for putting it all together! This event has become a tradition, as our college friends come from all over the country for a big reunion!
