So sorry for the delay in posting! I’ve been juggling work, vacation, and rearranging my apartment getting ready for the delivery of my new desk. So excited for it to arrive – I’ll be sure to post once she’s photo ready!
This past weekend I spent in Atlanta, Georgia. It was my first official vacation of the summer and it was good to get on a plane and take a trip somewhere. The visit to the ATL was to celebrate the wedding of my high school friend Valencia and her husband Trae. My best friend Jasmin was in the wedding party so it was a family affair. Her husband Kevin and daughter/my god-daughter Audrey came and Jasmin’s mother joined us. Since the event was a destination wedding for most, we spent a lot of time with the couple’s whole family and guests who came in town to celebrate (we all grew up in Texas but they are living in Atlanta as Trae attends school at the Morehouse School of Medicine). Everyone had a great dynamic together and a welcoming spirit which was definitely love-driven. The weekend was full of fun. We did a bit of exploring, some shopping, and of course celebrating with the bride and groom on their big day to start their forever. Also a little twerking may or may not have taken place — because bachelorette party…tutorial/class situation…it’s ATLANTA ya’ll…no further comment lol.
Here is a recap of the weekend in pictures!

Overall it was a great weekend spent with good people in a fun city. It’s good to get out and explore new places. I encourage you to travel this summer – whether it’s a grand vacation to the beach or just a road-trip to a different city. Make it happen and make some memories!
Til next time.
