We had a blast this weekend at our friend Sarah (who we all call Bitting)’s wedding!

034

Bitting was on my freshman floor in college, and so were most of the gorgeous ladies above 🙂 We shared a house this weekend with some other unpictured friends (and significant others) — so fun! I heart weddings that also serve as big reunions.

Freshman year floor photo (ignore our hand motions… inside joke heh):

Sorority photo (we were in Kappa Alpha Theta):

Not only were all my college bffs there, but our entire DC crew was in attendance as well! Awesome. Here I am with a few of the girls 🙂 Sadly we neglected getting a photo of the big group!

It was so fun being at a wedding where we knew… everyone. 🙂 The wedding took place in Keuka Lake in upstate NY; the weather was AMAZING on Friday when we arrived, so we decided a little swimming was in order! I love lakes.

016

Romantic photo with Turner 😉

005

There was even a raft to jump off of!!! Love.

The wedding location was gorgeous, too — here’s the view from the front porch of the mansion where they had the reception!

002

Amazing views of the lake, right?!

004

On Saturday before the wedding, a few of us did a 5 mile trail run and then we all hit up some wineries! It was a bit overcast but nice and cool — such a welcome change from the oppressive heat in NC and DC recently!

025 024

Check out the shirt my friend Hunter was sporting! Hehe.

022

Why, it’s a fANNEtastic t-shirt! Love 🙂

This morning, before heading out, all of us in the house made a big breakfast. My friend Kris made an amazing baked french toast (recipe courtesy of The Pioneer Woman):

043

And I made scrambled eggs with goat cheese, tomato, and spinach. Yum!

046

The other food highlight of the weekend (but not for breakfast, heh!) was amazing homemade peach ice cream courtesy of my friend Lu!

040

Yes, it’s in a pan… that’s how we roll 😉

Whew — what a weekend! It went by so quickly and I was very sad to say goodbye to everyone this morning. I miss my girls already. We all live too far away 🙁

Matt and I spent today roaming the Rochester area — including a nice long walk along the beautiful Erie Canal! (thanks for the recommendation via Twitter, Jenna!)

049 052

We even got to see a real working lock in action! Very cool.

054 053

056 057

It’s now after midnight and we’re driving home from the Raleigh airport. To say I’m exhausted is a bit of an understatement… really wishing I didn’t have orientation round 2 at UNC tomorrow starting at 7:30 a.m. Then classes start Tuesday, gah.

Stay tuned for lots of fun dinner recipes this week — we are pretty sick of going out to eat (not to mention broke) after the past few weeks of crazy travel and moving.

Goodnight!

    You are a powerhouse with everything you have going on! Good luck tomorrow and on Tuesday :) And I'm digging the peach ice cream - pan or no pan, I'll eat ice cream out of whatever.

    Gorgeous pics! It's also kind of exciting that you're in my neck of the woods :) I've been on a few family vacations to Keuka and I went to school in Rochester. I miss the canal trail - so great for biking and running, and beautiful too!
