Donuts, Mountians, A New House & the Best Road Trip of the Summer

NashAndNc-9Road trips spark the whimsy and flare the fun for this little heart of mine.  And then there’s David.  And David does all of that all by himself.

I try to go home any chance that I can.  Momma insists on it and, well, let’s be real, home is the best place to be.  Home is in good ole, Powhatan, Virginia and Powhatan just so happens to be a loooooooong ways from Mobile, Alabama.  My sweet parents have lived in the same home for the last eighteen years.  I just love our home, but it went on the market when Mom and Dad decided to downsize once my sister and myself officially moved out.  It’s a bittersweet season, but our new home suits my parents so well and they’re absolutely in LOVE with it!  With this new move, Mom and Dad needed a few sets of extra hands to help pack things up.  So, David and I decided to go on a road trip!  It has been SUCH a blast rocking out to our favorite tunes, staying with sweet friends and making the most of our time with those we love.  Our adventures have been documented strictly on my iphone and via snapchat!  Call me crazy, but I left the big camera in the bag for this little trip– and I haven’t regretted it!

Our first stop, was our most favorite city: Nashville! We stayed with my best friends Kathleen, Joseph and their four month old bundle of JOY, Wyatt !  Isn’t he the CUTEST?  While in Nashville, David and I were completely spoiled with trips to all of the most yummy places and of COURSE, visited as many music shops as possible!NashAndNc-23NashAndNc-3 NashAndNc-4 NashAndNc-5IMG_4666 IMG_4667 NashAndNc-21 NashAndNc-20 NashAndNc-17NashAndNc-19NashAndNc-18NashAndNc-14 NashAndNc-13 NashAndNc-12IMG_4664

Next, we ventured to the mountains of Murphy, North Carolina!  Golly I love the mountains…  They are so majestic and such an incredible display of God’s majesty!  We hiked, visited our friends Kaitlynn & Caleb and got even MORE baby cuddles when we met their newest addition, Sawyer Lee!

Finally, we made our way to Virginia.  Ahhhh.  This place has my heart. We’ve been here for a few days and only have a few more left, but we’ve been soaking it up for all it’s worth!  My family is simply the best.  Not only that- but my friends are pretty great too!  That gorgeous girl in the middle is getting MARRIED in October, and we celebrated her this weekend!!  It was so much fun!!

And of course, I’ve gotta end with a photo of the house we’ve called home for the last 18 years!  I just love this place!

I have the best in laws in the whole wide world 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For Thanksgiving, my little family and I made our way back to Alabama to celebrate with David’s parents & sisters. We traveled 10 hours with all three kids 3 and under. Everyone did wonderfully and I’ve gotta say it was one of my biggest accomplishments in life 😂🥰. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We had so much fun baking pies, taking walks, and enjoying quality time together. Dave got to see his best bud & I got to spend a lot of quality time with my mother in law 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My in laws sacrifice so much for their family. They work hard, love our babies so beautifully and ALWAYS make an effort to come visit us when they can. It was so much fun traveling back to sweet home Alabama to be with them 🤍
