Celebration Marathon: Part Deux

Part Deux? Oh yes, there was a part one. Did you miss it?! ;-) But we're in the midst of another marathon of celebrations. It started last month with my older sister's baby shower, continued earlier this month with my baby sister graduating high school (more to come on that later), continued even more this past weekend when my brother-in-law got married and even into this week as Greg and I take off for our beach vacay. Wow, I'm a lucky girl! Busy, but very, very blessed with so much to celebrate.

What can I say about the weekend? The ceremony was perfect, the reception was gorgeous and the overall weekend was a blast. It got me feeling so nostalgic about when the hubby and I got married - but I definitely think I had the best date in the house. Here are a few pics from the weekend:

My amazing date.

Becoming Mr. & Mrs. Benson

The secret to our crazy happy marriage? He laces the track, I lock the flow.

One of the most beautiful weddings I've ever been to!

We didn't get a pic with our new sister-in-law, so we got creative. What can we say? We think she's pretty amazing.

 

So happy for Mr. & Mrs. Benson!

Beach Bag Must-Haves

In the midst of a crazy work week  month  three-months, I've hardly had time to think about all the fun coming up this month. We have a super-fun weekend ahead as my sweet brother-in-law is getting married in Tulsa. We're so pumped for all the wedding fun and of course, we're excited to gain a new sister!

And in exactly one week, Greg and I will be on vacay in Key West, which we've been thinking about/planning/waiting for since December! In preparation for our upcoming beach vacay, I thought I'd share some of my favorite items I keep in my beach/pool bag.



1.  Obsessed with this beach bag
2. Extra-long beach towel
3. Coppertone Faces Sunscreen
4. Sunglasses (these seem to give minimal tan lines on the face)
5. Beach Towel Clips (they keep your towel attached to your lounge chair without slipping)
6. Fresh Sugar Lipcare (Mine was a Birchbox treat!)
7. Cute Coverup
8. Mindless Reading Material

Any other beach bag must-haves? Has anyone ever used these chair clips? Ah-mazing!

Happy Summer!
