Mississippi Wedding

What a wonderful little weekend we just had!

Todd and I joined some old friends in Oxford, Mississippi for a wedding celebration. I say ‘celebration’ because Erin & Sean (the newlyweddies) had a small, family-only wedding ceremony and then threw a giant party this past Saturday for all of their friends. People came from all over the country to party hard in the name of love.

Let the road trip begin…

I swear we are more excited than we look.

Erin had a fun little game planned for her party favors. We did a ‘dirty santa’ style gift swap, with southern themed food from the local Piggly Wiggly. This was especially hilarious since a lot of the girls were from L.A. (aka – not the south).

Of course while I was at Erin’s home I couldn’t help but drool over her house & it’s vintage decor.

On Saturday we enjoyed a lazy day around Oxford before the party that evening. We explored the Ole Miss campus, had some beers, and had lunch with my old roommate, Necha, and her new baby, Lucia.

TO: Mom LOVE: Sarah

This week my mom had a birthday.
I love my mom.
She’s the very, berry best.
I say this because…

She dances by herself on Beale Street.

She attempts to use complicated new technology

She parties VIP style.
With me in Vegas.

She combs her hair
with silly wall murals.

Memphis - Girl Trip!

She fulfills many of my lifelong dreams.
Like taking me to see the New Kids on the Block in D.C.
for my birthday.

She tells stories to strangers
as if they’re her best friends.

She’s always been both beautiful
and badass.

And most importantly,
she loves me unconditionally.
Just as I love her.
