We kicked off May with a couples getaway weekend to celebrate Jenna getting married. The wedding was in Murphy, NC so we decided months ago to make a whole weekend out of it. We left Friday after work and drove to Cragmont for a quick one night stay. It was so much fun having some adult time to catch up on life and not have to worry about kids.
Saturday we woke up and headed to Murphy. We stopped at the Nantahala Outdoor Center and it was nice to have lunch right on the water. We arrived in Murphy later that afternoon and checked in to our Airbnb. We rented a cabin right on the water for the weekend and it was extremely nice (minus the dog hair).
Saturday night we went to a nice steakhouse for dinner. While we were waiting for our reservations, we stopped by the Irish pub and I felt like I was back in Ireland for a brief second. Dinner was great and we enjoyed the company. After dinner, we headed back to the cabin and Jenna and all of the church girls came by for a visit. It was so sweet hanging out with her the night before her wedding. She was a calm bride and its still so surreal that she is now a married woman. When I graduated college, I came back home and started teaching the middle/high school Sunday school class and Jenna was only in 7th grade. Time truly does fly.
Sunday morning was low key and we spent the morning hanging out and getting ready for the wedding. The wedding was outside and it was a beautiful ceremony. Jenna was radiating happiness all day and a smile never left her face. It was truly special to see her and James kiss for the first time on their wedding day. We enjoyed the reception and had fun catching up with Heather and Daniel.
After the wedding, we changed in to comfy clothes and took a ride in the convertible. It was Cinco de Mayo so we enjoyed some yummy Mexican food and ended the night around a campfire. It was the best weekend and I enjoyed sneaking away with Craw for a couple days. We missed Camden but he had a blast with his grandparents.
Side Note: The day we left, Cam had his first big accident. I was going to put him in the car and as I was opening the car door, he ran right in to the side of the door and cut his head. It was traumatic for me because it swelled up immediately and it was bleeding. It also happened as I was about to say bye to him for a whole weekend. Thankfully, the swelling went down quick and the next day, it was just a small scrape. I'm sure that will be the first of many booboo's but it sure did make my mama heart sad.
