This year our Memorial Day weekend was also known as “crazy wedding weekend”! Crazy in a good way. Nate’s sister, Erica, got married to Greg on Saturday! This happened to be the hottest day of the year so far, so you can bet sitting in the non-ACed church was tough on everyone, bride and groom included! They took a fan and water break halfway through the ceremony :O ! One of my favorite memories was our super legit family dance party at their reception. We definitely got a little wild! Then on Sunday, Nate’s brother, Jesse, and our new sis-in-law, Kim, had their stateside wedding reception (they got married in Italy, remember?). So we changed our fancy outfits to different fancy outfits and partied for another day! One of my favorite memories from Sunday was the bonfire we had in my in-laws backyard after the main celebration was over… it felt like summer had officially begun!

Let’s be honest, two back-to-back wedding celebrations can take a toll on you. So Monday was our day of rest. We spent the afternoon uncovering and cleaning our beloved kayaks to take them on their first ride of 2016. Then we hopped on over to Dug Pond in Natick (like a 1 minute drive from our house) and paddled around for about an hour. It felt so good to be on the water again. These kayaks have made me love summer twice as much as I already did.

I’m gearing up for my birthday (tomorrow!) a half marathon (on Sunday!). Come back next week for pics and stories from both of those events! OR! follow along on Snapchat if you want to be in the moment 🙂 (@ st3ph-kr1st) ~S
