Weekend Recap - Liz's Wedding


Weekend Recap:
Groups of women sit together in Nepal while making these beautiful handmade bracelets. These are Nepal Mission Bracelets and purchasing one helps to empower women , sponsor poor children, and educate young minds in Nepal. Bella Salon and Pure Barre in Homewood are selling the bracelets and I could not help but purchase three to support the women and children in Nepal while also getting new arm candy. 

For additional information see the Fair Trade Fashion Design Site. I'm now dying for a turquoise and red bracelet. 

My watch is from Francesca's


Friday night was spent on the couch watching the opening ceremonies for the Olympics. Gymnastics and diving are my two favorite Summer Olympic Sports. Saturday Chad and I went to Trent and Elizabeth’s Wedding in Dadeville at Still Water Resort. The reception was at the Creekside Lodge on Lake Martin. Elizabeth and I graduated high school and college together. It was so great to see everyone at the wedding and reception.


Saturday after the reception and sparkler send off, Trent and Elizabeth left for their honeymoon in Jamaica. A group of us left for Alex City and stayed with Sushannah. We woke up Sunday and left for Lake Martin. Nine of us rented a pontoon boat from The Ridge at Lake Martin. We spent the day in the sun on the lake before heading back to Birmingham.




I hope you all had a great weekend!
