Celebration Weekend

This past Easter weekend, we made the trip to DC to celebrate one of my good friend and college roommate, Sami's, engagement. We had such a great time celebrating the happy couple and reminiscing about our college days. On Saturday, we started with a shower for the bride.


The food at the shower was so yummy. This is a picture of the cute cake that was served. I had so much fun reuniting with friends and meeting some of Sami's hilarious friends that I had never met before.


Then after we finished up at the bridal shower, Matt picked me up, we quickly got ready and then drove into DC for the couple's engagement party. The party venue was a gorgeous rooftop terrace overlooking DC. It was such a perfect night. I absolutely loved getting to catch up with my good friend Sami. It has been a couple years since we've seen each other, but we always pick up right where we left off. She is so amazing and talented, and basically just all-around high on life. I was thoroughly entertained by her stories of mining for treasures in her Colorado home and her enthusiasm when she described her Colorado adventures. I missed her so much that I shed a few tears at the end of the night when I had to leave her again! Luckily, it won't be too long until I see her again as we continue to celebrate the bride-to-be in the upcoming months. I'll be anxiously awaiting the big day for this fabulous couple!

Sunday morning, we celebrated Easter at McLean Bible Church. The church is enormous, and it was completely packed out for Easter morning. The worship was incredible and we were so blessed to be able to visit and give praise to our risen Saviour at this church!

After our church service, we ate a yummy lunch at one of our favorite spots La Madeline. With a full belly of tomato soup, we went to pick up Furgie, walked her around Fairfax Corner to enjoy some of the beautiful day, and then hit the road back to NC. All in all, it was a wonderful weekend! Hope everyone had a Happy Easter weekend, too!
