party at the skeet club

(Again, I apologize in advance for the lack of pictures. And for the lack of updating.)

Happy Monday morning (said no one ever)! This Two weekend ago was our engagement party in Franklinton, LA. This is where Justin grew up and it's always nice to go back home and spend time with his family. We had had a long week at work (or at least I had) so it definitely was a nice escape. 

Thursday we decided at four o'clock to go ahead and go down there so we packed on up and left. We were able to spend time with just his parents and brother before the entire clan got in. Woke up at about seven Friday morning just in time to see the twins come in from Chattanooga. It warms my heart every time I see Justin hold a baby (it's adorable, and I can't wait for him to be a dad. In like three years). Friday we did some running around and had to get the skeet club ready for friends to come into town. Beaux just loves the skeet club, which in turn makes me love it as well. Within five minutes of getting out of the car, he's gone swimming and found a branch to nibble on. 

Saturday was the party. I have to say I was exhausted by the time it actually started, but I willed myself through it. Meeting a lot of new people is hard work to say the least. But with Justin not leaving my side, I managed to stay happy and excited for the entire night. 

It was stressful knowing that my parents were going to be meeting a lot of Justin's family and friends. Justin and I come from very different backgrounds (which is a blessing in disguise), so to be honest, I just wanted this weekend to go as smoothly as possible. Which it did. Everyone had a fabulous time. Justin's mom did an amazing job decorating and it was perfect. Except the party-crasher. Which I would put a picture of up here, but to be honest, it's a little embarrassing. That's all I'm going to say about it. 

Now we're down to less than three months before the "I do" day. We've (or really I've) decided on our first dance song, and we've gotten flowers for the bridesmaids all figured out. Other than that, I feel confident in our planning, and am so excited for these 89 days to fly by!

Hope everyone has a great week :)
