Wedding Fun

Thanks for the congrats on my new teaching gig! I will most definitely let y’all know how the new class formats go – yoga with weights will be a learning experience for me too!

We had a really fun weekend. Saturday was full of my favorite things – yoga, the farmer’s market, a Starbucks Soy Latte, a Lululemon visit, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a wedding!!!

I had a green monster to refuel after yoga – banana, blueberry, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, plain Greek yogurt, a couple ice cubes, vanilla soy milk and a big hand full of spinach. I’ve run into several friends and blog readers lately who haven’t taken the green smoothie plunge – try it! 😛

I had a late lunch of a good old-fashioned peanut butter and jelly. Happiness on a plate!

And then it was wedding time.

Brandon grew up with the bride, Anna. Fun fact…Anna is a runner and reads the blog!

It was a beautiful wedding full of good food, friends, dancing and of course, cake!

The classic white on white combo. Delicious!

My dinner plate with a beef tenderloin sandwich, asiago potatoes, fruit, veggies and bruschetta.

And shrimp and grits. I love that shrimp and grits have become a wedding food staple – it’s one of my faves.

I ran into friend and fellow University of Georgia grad Renee. She lives in Atlanta but she’s from Charlotte so we always seem to bump into each other at weddings. Oh and random side note…blue was THE color of the night. I saw so many blue dresses!

The band was great and kept the dance floor packed all night. I had to share another “Shout” picture since I just blogged about it from the last wedding we attended.

Anna’s going away dress was fabulous and doesn’t she look so happy!?

And that does us in for weddings until October. The past few summers have been packed with weddings but now they’re tapering off and babies are taking over! Eek!

How was your weekend? Do you have many weddings to attend this summer? What’s your favorite wedding food? (Besides the cake, duh! ;))

Here’s to a great week! Hope your Monday is amazing!

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

I am such a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. 95% of the time I’m craving a breakfast that is on the sweet side. That mostly alternates between smoothies or yogurt bowls with overnight oats, chia pudding or oatmeal occasionally thrown in there. On the rare occasion I go savory – it’s scrambled [...]

Life Lately: Summer So Far

Life Lately: Summer So Far

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

So Many Dinner Ideas

So Many Dinner Ideas

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

Life Lately: 8 Years Old, A New Piercing, Trail Training and More

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]
