Long time, no see, right? Yes, I know. We seemed to have dropped off the face of the earth the past few months, but don’t worry, life as I think I remember it is slowly coming back.
This past Saturday was Cecilia’s wedding. It was a fabulous event and I was honored to be a part of it. Cecilia did everything right with this. Aside from choosing the right guy, she and Matt together planned a wedding that was right up there with Queen Elizabeth, if you ask me. After Easter, it seems like we all hit the ground running with assisting with the planning. Cecilia had done all the background work. She came up with all the ideas and knew exactly how she wanted it to be. My job at this point became to help execute these ideas. And let me tell you, it was a LOT to execute. However, when the day came and we all had the pleasure of experiencing this amazing day with Cecilia and Matt, it was so worth it. I’d do it all again in a heartbeat. It came off without a hitch and it was a day that none of us will ever forget. I hope to have some pictures to show soon!
As I was busy with the wedding, I wasn’t able to give Brittain my undivided attention as I have gotten used to. It’s amazing how much I missed her!
The Sunday after the wedding, Mimi, Aunt Susan, Brittain, and I all decided that we were in much need of some R&R. I was singing at a dinner at the Lake Oconee Ritz Carlton (where Cec works) on Monday night so we all decided to take a mini-vacation to relax. Sunday, the 4 of us left for Greensboro and we settled in for a 2-night stay. It couldn’t have been more fun. We relaxed, spent time together and best of all, Brittain experienced her first time in a pool! She loved it, and you know that I took plenty of pictures to prove it!
Taking a break from the hot sun to drink some ice cold water:
We started out in the baby pool, which was slightly heated, but eventually moved to the big pool (which was quite cold). Brittain loved both of them and enjoyed the refreshing, cooler water of the adult pool:
She enjoyed being fed ice chips by her Aunt Susan:
Brittain also took advantage of “The Ritz Carlton Experience”:
Each evening, the hotel provides an area to make S’mores (and also provides the ingredients to make them). We wanted to experience this! Not only did Brittain enjoy watching her Aunt Susan catch every marshmallow on fire, but she also got her first small taste of chocolate. Yummmmm!
To end the evening, we played at the Ritz playground:
Jeff Holland, Aunt CC’s co-worker and good friend joined us for a few minutes of playtime:
Before we left on Tuesday, Mimi went and enjoyed some relaxation at the Spa. Aunt Susan, Brittain and I decided to take a beautiful walk by the lake:
