weekend warrior.

friday after work, i met my stepdad at a track near by to start running track repeats. it was HOT and i got through half the of the first workout on my training schedule before i decided i was going to die if i kept running. brian used to run marathons before his stroke & i have now turned him into my own personal running coach. check out his new wheelie tricks!

after another yummy friday night dinner at bricktops with our parents, court & i swung by selwyn for a drink before racing home to beat the storm. we called it an early night in preparation for our big saturday!

we woke up early & headed to the fillmore for the vintage charlotte pop-up market. it was awesome! i got a few things for some friends & scored some awesome candlesticks for our mantle. after speed shopping through the market, we headed down to lake wylie for the day. court's bff erin's parents live on the lake in a beautiful house they built when we were in high school. it was such a fun day with lots of beer, sunshine, hanging with old friends, and making new friends!

{lake day - hey aly!}

when we got back to charlotte, i quick showered and headed to birdsong brewery to meet up  with kel, alex, & derrick. we hopped over to noda brewery for a beer and then made our way to whiskey warehouse. meagan & walt were in town, so we met up with them & britt & blake at whiskey. i love any time i get to spend with meg & britt - it takes me back to my college days!

sunday morning i had to come into work for a few hours & then ran a lot of errands in preparation for vacation! derrick & i made a trip over to the king of pops factory for some afternoon treats. holy yum. after crafting for a few hours, i picked up kickstand for everyone and headed to momma's. she helped me make a bunch of cookies for my trip. i have a few more things to pick up today, and tomorrow around 2pm i am beach bound until sunday!

i am really looking forward to sunshine, best friends, hot fish club, and salt water!
