Catching Up....

I know it's been awhile so I thought I would catch you up to date.  A lot has happened since the last post so I'll try to go in chronological order.

Friends of ours Chris and Allison got married in June at the Marietta Convention Center.  They had a beautiful wedding and we had a great time.  Here's a picture of the boys and the girls at the wedding.  

After I had my tonsils removed which was absolutely HORRIBLE, Chase and I went and visited his wonderful cousins Dana and Damien in Virginia.  We were lucky enough to ride the train to Washington D.C. and spend the day touring and then we went to Dana and her husband's Jody's beach house in Virginia Beach for the Fourth of July.  We had a fantastic time with Dana, Jody, Damien, his new wife Lori, Makensie, and sweet Carmela.  We had a great time and we cannot wait to visit again! 

 
I also hosted my first baby shower in July.  I gave Meggie a baby shower for Miss Rylee Kate.  She was born on August 26 and she is absolutely precious.  Here a few pics from the shower.   

    

Also, Zach and Courtney are having a baby!!  They are the first couple in the group to have a baby and we are all extremely excited.  We all attended our first gender reveal party in Gainesville, Georgia where we discovered that they are having a little girl and it was super cute.  Here are a few pictures from the gender reveal.  

 

Some friends of ours gave us tickets to see the Atlanta Falcons play the Denver Broncos.  Chase and I were extremely excited to see Peyton Manning in person and to see the Falcons because they are awesome this year!!  We met up with John and Becky and we had a blast!  Here are some pictures...

  

The most exciting thing that has happened lately is our FIRST YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!  We went to Chicago and had a wonderful time!!  Chicago is definitely one our favorite cities we've ever visited.  It was such a beautiful city, the food was amazing, and we definitely want to visit again.  I cannot believe it's been a year, it has flown by so quickly.  It has been a great year and we're looking forward to many more.  Here's some pictures....

 

Most recently, we surprised Zach and Courtney with a baby shower at the lake this weekend.  All of us girls have been working for weeks to keep this a secret and it turned out great.  We are all excited to meet little Brecklynn Elizabeth in January!!  Here's a picture of Zach and Courtney, the girls, the boys, and the group...
