Memorial Day Shenanigans....

I could write a novel about all the wonderful adventures Josh and I had throughout this past weekend... but,  I'll let you experience them all through pictures. Cool?
Memorial Day Weekend WORE US OUT... and we loved every minute of it!

FRIDAY
RockBand: Blasczyk/Jackson Style. 


Apple, Angela & Abby (Now THAT'S an awesome trio).


I showed Abby & Izzy my pet photography. They recognized an iconic pup - Mister Boaz Terry (our pastor's pup). Abby LOVED them all. 

SATURDAY

It was SOOO hot. I stood on the patio for 10 minutes just to see if I could stand laying out by the pool. I did this because our apartment pool has only 2 chairs worth of shade. Seriously. It's ridiculous. 
My honey thought I was "cute" so he snapped a photo. I think it turned out pretty cute. 

We had the pool to ourselves for a good half-hour... then EVERYONE decided to join. Needless to say, quiet & peaceful turned into noisy & obnoxious really fast. Sigh.


SUNDAY

Our WestGate Church Kickball Team: Crush (Pre-Game)


Valarie, Myself & Gabby (Post-Game = EXHAUSTED)

We came in 3rd place out of four teams. Not great but NOT LAST! Haha. I didn't wear my knee brace so I was pretty limpy afterwards. 

Even though we were completely worn out, we got a group together to see the following movie at 10:40pm (and it was a 2hour, 5minute movie):
The BEST, most hilarious movie adventure, EVER! We had a good group, too: Rob & Chasity, Derrick & Valarie, Josh & Myself and Mrs. Cassie. 
BTW: This movie is make-you-cry HILARIOUS (way better than The Hangover & equally as funny as The Other Guys). 

MONDAY: MEMORIAL DAY
Josh worked until 2pm then we ventured out to my momma's for a family cookout/pool party. I didn't have time to take any photos because I was having too much fun (which is CRAZY because I, usually take photos of EVERYthing)!
Josh and I played Heather and Cody in MANY, MANY games of Pool VolleyBall - talk about F.U.N.
My grandmother and momma prepared some amazing food:
 Grilled Steak
Grilled Chicken
Potatoes
Salad
Rolls
Sweet Tea
Chips & French Onion Dip
Kuddos to them for being so amazing in the kitchen and on the grill. I have much to learn. 
I'm so happy that Josh and I are able to have days like this with my family... we can be ourselves, be real and still be loved & supported. Now, that's something to be thankful for. 

Kuddos to all the military personnel (past & present) for all their hard work, dedication and sacrifice. You make precious freedom possible.
