Home Happenings

So I really wanted this most perfect little elephant. I picked it up for my friend May awhile back so I had already grown attached by the time I made the delivery. Months went by...

 

Yep - I really wanted cutest elephant. So in comes a Home Happenings swap. I sent May pictures of things I was willing to swap, and we came up with a fun selection of treasures.

I love my new elephant. May loves her new treasures. Home Happenings swap success.

Tabletop Extravaganza

On Sunday I went to a Tabletop Extravaganza with sister-in-love Amy to check out wedding happenings. You walk around with fancy gin fizz cocktails while snacking on passed hors d'oeuvres and oohing and ahing over delightful wedding tablescapes.

Aviator & Crabs

Last week we met sister-in-love Amy and her fiancé Ryan at Aviator Brewing Company's SmokeHouse for dinner and beer in Fuquay Varina - great first time at Aviator.

I had their award-winning crazy wings, and they were so good... so hot. Ryan asked Hank to be a groomsman that night - happy day! This past weekend we also enjoyed an annual tradition - a steam blue crab cookout at Hank's coworker's house. Crabs? I love crabs.

The crabs and beer were endless. Hank made some awesome baked beans courtesy of his mom's recipe so I'll certainly share that recipe here soon. People were on thirds!

Day Camping

Hank and I had some fun this weekend hitting up Jordan Lake to visit our campers - my dad and some of the Lake Tillery family. We did the usual - float, ride the Sea-Doos and cook. 

With the exception of a little fish nipping my finger while floating - I love the disconnect and relaxation camping brings. ... And adventure? There are always entertaining happenings!
