Girl's Weekend Flight Booked!!

Some of my closest girlfriend's and I try to do a trip together at least once a year.  Once we all graduated college, we all kind of promised each other we'd make an effort to get together.  We did this because everyone lives all over the place now.  I LOVE that we do this, and I'm so excited about this year's trip!!

We decided on Wilmington, NC.  We're doing this because a) it's the beach b) it's not far from Richmond, VA and c) Laura went to grad school in Wilmington and knows the area.  It's not going to be quite the same since some of the girl's can't make it :(  Erin is in Saudi Arabia, Kristin now might be traveling for work, and Kelly might be moving to Colorado for a job.  It sucks, but I'm proud to have such successful friends!!

We booked our condo on the beach, and with all of the girls it's only about $200 for the long weekend!  I was able to catch a flight to Richmond and find a flight leaving Wilmington, so it works out perfectly.   Better yet, I caught a pretty good deal on the flight!

We didn't have a girl's weekend last year because of the traveling involved with Ashley's and I's wedding.  Since we don't have any girls weddings this year, this beach trip was easy to plan!

Here's a pic from our cabin weekend from 2 years ago.  It's crazy to think how much we've changed since college!

I can't wait until June 29th!! I'll be flying into Richmond and I'll get to see some people in Richmond before we drive down to Wilmington Friday the 1st.

SO EXCITED for girl time, beach, sun, family & friends <3

Tornados & Surprises

I hope everyone had a nice Easter weekend!

I spent my weekend at work, even on Easter Sunday.  We did have a pleasant surprise Saturday, however :)

Ryan's cousin, John-Levi, got married in Missouri on Saturday.  I wasn't able to go because it was short notice and I wasn't able to work around my work schedule, but since Ryan doesn't work weekends he was able to make the 3 hour trip.  Ryan's mom & Aunts were able to make it, as was his grandpa.

I wish I could of been there, but I got to see pictures and they look like a very happy couple!  I can't wait to meet Anna on our girl's trip in October.  We've now been deemed "The A-Team" because all of the nephews on Ryan's mom's side are married to women with the first letter of our name being A (Alysa, Anna & Ainsilie) :)

Ryan's Aunt Debbie planned on flying out of St. Louis, but some tornados came through on Friday and ruined her plans for flying out of St. Louis.  So, Ryan was able to take her back to our place where she stayed the night and got a flight out of Kansas City on Sunday.  We were able to go to dinner when I got off on Saturday and it was very nice!  We went to a famous BBQ place around here called Oklahoma Joe's.

While I was checking out the weather tonight trying to figure out how many more days we were going to have of nasty storms, I came across this video.  The St. Louis airport released their security cameras to see the tornado coming through.  Pretty scary!
