Singin' Songs about the Southland

As I mentioned before, wedding season is here- so here, in fact, that Isaac and I had two different weddings in two different states on the same day. While he drove to Louisville to see our friend Christina go from a Miller to a Smith (I know, I know; she definitely understands about the curse of common names), I trekked down to Jackson to see my college friend India get married. Several great college friends were in attendance, including Beth, the Kyzars, Lizzie, and Troy. I had a wonderful time catching up with them and reminiscing- specifically about Troy's wedding fiascoes. Ah, memories. Here's a glimpse of the ceremony and reception:






While in Jackson, I stayed with my cousin Beth, who is a sophomore at Union. It was the weekend before finals, so campus was pretty much dead, but I did get to spend some time with her and take her to lunch at Dumplin's *insert drool here* and enjoy my Chicken and Rice soup. I also got to hang out with this mug:


If you don't know this fine young man, this is my friend Nick from Maine, and therefore enjoys the nickname of "The Maine Squeeze". We were in SAC together, along with all the other cool kids. We had a great time just hanging out and talking about the past few years. But here is the kicker: he has a Southern accent now. He's from Maine, people!

On the drive back to CoMo, I was able to stop in St. Louis and visit my friend Jenny (formerly known as Jenny Mac) and see her pregnant belly. She's having a boy to be named Benjamin this fall. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of her pregnant-ness due to camera difficulties, but I plan on being in St. Louis sometime this summer and will try to get on that action for you all.
