Perfect 4th at the Lake

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July!  I was lucky enough to spend the weekend with my dad's side of the family at Lake Gaston in Henrico, NC.  We went to my Aunt Jane and Uncle Ronnie's wonderful lake house for an enjoyable 3 days filled with boating, skiing, tubing, eating and RELAXING.  It was the perfect setting to catch up with family I only get to see a few times a year since we are all over the place.

Bittersweet

I hope everyone is well! I know I have been a little behind on posts lately and I'm sorry for that! Life has been rather hectic as of late but all for good reasons :) One of the main ones being that I accepted a new job last Friday! I'll be leaving Moxie and heading to J. Walter Thompson (JWT) to take on the role as Sr. Account Manager! I am so excited for this new opportunity but sad to leave all the amazing and talented people I have had the pleasure of working with over the past 5 years. I have met some great friends at Moxie who I know I will keep in touch with for years to come. However, JWT is a new opportunity with new challenges and I’m ready to take them on! There are times in your career when you need to take the next step and I’m excited to be doing that :)

A Fabulous Affair

Happy Monday!  I hope everyone had a nice and relaxing weekend.  Joe and I were in Charlotte for his friend Scott's wedding.  It was also a nice chance to see my family so it was the perfect multipurpose trip :)  We got in on Saturday morning and had a delicious lunch with my family and the Ratterree's at 131 Main.  I then headed home to get ready for the wedding.  The ceremony was beautiful followed by a FABULOUS Black-Tie reception at Myer's Park Country Club.  The reception had a wonderful band, great food and was an all around classy affair!  It was a fun night.

Beautiful golf course at the country club

Look who I ran into!  Jen and I always seem to bump into each other at weddings :)  See her full blog post on this fun event here: http://www.peanutbutterrunner.com/wedding-fun/ (She got more pics than I did!


One of the few pictures I got of the beautiful bride, Anna...her dress was gorgeous!

I loved the simple and elegant table decor

It was a very fun weekend!
