Just yesterday I was driving with my mother to check out a wedding venue and a scattered thunderstorm came out of nowhere while we were driving towards the venue on the highway. The wind almost had the heavy rain coming down completely sideways. And then...the hail. Oh, the hail. I swear, Northwest Arkansas gets SO MUCH hail every year. I was devastated because we were driving MY car. Not cool, Mother Nature.
Luckily we managed to find a business off to the side of the road that seemed closed and had a covered parking area for my mother and I to pull my car into while we waited out the storm. About four or five minutes later and the storm was gone, just as quickly as it had swept in.
The wedding venue walk-through still went on without a hitch. Wade and I haven't picked out our wedding venue yet and are just beginning to browse around. My goal is to pick our wedding venue before we move to Texas this June or July.
In other exciting news, I did manage to check one thing off of the wedding planning list...
I SAID YES TO THE DRESS!
Other recent events include a whole slew of tasty eats and treats lately. Including these beautifully decorated fruits on a large fruit table at a recent friend's wedding.
I'll leave you with my favorite links of the week and a quote to pause and ponder, if you will. Have a good one!
