Alan and Tabatha Penny

Part 3 of the trip was to celebrate Joel's brother's wedding. Alan and Tabatha had a great ceremony and reception at Bass Lake Park in Holly Springs. They will be living near D.C. and we hope to maybe visit them next summer! It was a great time for Nate to meet more of the Penny family as well.

Back among the living...

It's been a whirlwind couple of weeks at the Penny house! Here's my attempt at a general wrapup--

On President's Day weekend, we hung up the shelves that Joel has been working on for the dining room. I really like them, although I'm not sure about the arrangement of everything I want on them. It is nice to have some more storage space!

I also got to catch up with my friend Kara while she was in Atlanta visiting some friends of her husband. It had been That was the same day that Jackson was born! So I waited a whole long week at work to get to go to visit the little guy. Joel and I had a great time visiting (and Jackson was really good while we were there)...Joel made his first visit to Babies R Us with Josh while Sharla and I caught up. The best part was we were able to get some great photographs of Jackson and his mom & dad--

And we got to love on the guy a little bit too:

On Sunday, I started to feel like I was getting sick. Joel was sweet and let me sleep the whole way home and I basically just laid on the couch all afternoon. I got up Monday and went to work, but threw in the towel after an hour and went home. Some crazy virus was going around our office and 4 other people were sick too! Joel had left for Seattle on a business trip--he went to Pikes Place Market and the original Starbucks and forgot to take a single picture for me! So I was home all alone to take care of myself :-(

Today we finally put together the order for our wedding album (yes, almost four years later). I had previously worked for our photographer and she shot our wedding for free--but we would have to pay for the album. Her work is really great, but also really expensive, so we haven't had the funds to order the album until now. We're sooo looking forward to finally having it! Tonight we're going on a little date to one of our fav restaurants- California Dreaming to celebrate Joel's annual bonus and my new position, which went into effect this week! Our Valentine's dinner wasn't all we had hoped it would be, but we know we'll have a great dinner tonight!

Del Boca Vista

Ok, so I've probably seen one too many episodes of Seinfeld....

But, last Friday we did travel to Boca Raton, FL for Joel's friend Abe's wedding. The ceremony was really special, as the bride's father and Abe's father both officiated. I don't have any pictures of the ceremony (Joel forgot to bring the camera) and the pictures I do have are courtesy of my new bud and Campbell alum, Sam, so most of the pictures include him.

Suzanne, Bryan, Sam, me & Joel--Table #13...the Campbell alums + me

Sam had me cracking up

Sunburned Sam and the groom~~Congrats Abe & Sarah!

On Saturday, we decided to continue the party on the beach. Strangely, I have never actually been to the beach in the summertime...nor have I felt sand so hot! The water was a nice 82 degrees, so we spent the majority of the time there. There were definitely some interesting swimsuit choices going on in Florida...as you can see in the picture.

All-in-all it was another fast and fun trip...we got back really late on Saturday night because our flight was delayed because of some weather and it took us almost an hour to pick up our bag. Sunday was also an action packed day-- had a church committee meeting, worked in the nursery, took a three hour nap (ok, I probably could have skipped that) and that evening we went to see the Braves game from my company's suite. Whew!

And to the amazement of my co-workers, I'm actually going to be at work tomorrow (I've been out the past 4 Fridays). We are, however, going to be traveling to Charlotte on Saturday to visit Sharla, Josh and baby Teeny! I'm so glad I don't have to keep it a secret anymore :-) We're also going to see The Lion King with them and some of their family. Sammy has been less than happy with all of our traveling, but this will be the last weekend we'll be gone until Jamaica.

Mr. & Mrs. Nelson Surles

Congratulations to Rachel and Nelson Surles!

They had an awesome wedding and reception at the Carolina Inn in Chapel Hill on June 29th. It was great for everyone to get together again, since we are really all spread out now! (Ben in NYC, The Surles, Adam and Melissa in Raleigh, The Bradleys in Charlotte and us in Atlanta) Since we're pretty sure there won't be another wedding for a few years we're definitely going to have to work a little harder at planning times to get together.
