Independence weekend

I know it’s been a while since I posted. I’m sorry! The short week went so fast and we’ve been busy since Thursday night. But it was a great weekend! I love three-day weekends.

Thursday night, we hung out with some of Neal’s coworkers, which was tons of fun.

Friday, Neal’s brother and parents came over so that Drew and Neal could move our dressers up to our bedroom. It took a whole of 10 minutes, and I’m so happy with how the bedroom is shaping up!

Please excuse the multitude of construction tools scattered around. It’ll look like a real bedroom soon!

Then, Neal’s parents and brother stayed for dinner, and my parents joined us. I made a bunch of stuff. I recently bought some Tastefully Simple beer bread, so I made that and threw in some cheese and garlic. It was really good.

Then, I made some ribs using my cousin’s boyfriend’s mom’s recipe (did you get all that? haha). They were magnificent. My dad loved them. I forgot to take a picture before we dug in, so this is a pic of the loan half a rack that was left.

And I made some lemon pepper shrimp kabobs.

I also made a pound cake and served it with some fresh fruit, but forgot to take a picture, haha. It was really fun to hang out with the family, and Neal and I really enjoyed ourselves.

Saturday night, we attended the wedding of college friends of ours, Paul and Bird. As always, it was a blast.

Paul couldn’t seem to keep his eyes open for a picture, hahaha. They were such a cute couple! I love Bird to death because she’s short like me. :)

And we had a great time dancing.

So anyway, it was a really fun-filled weekend! So sad it’s over. I still haven’t posted pictures of last week’s wedding, so I’ll have to do that later this week.
