Sunshine & Summertime

To start my summer off right, the morning after I got back from Europe I headed to the beach for Katie's Bachelorette weekend! 

 All the girls at the shocean!

 Thanks for the super-cute wine glasses, Katie!

Funny faces

I had to leave early for my sister's graduation, but I had fun there, too!

Me Jacob, Jonathan, and Allie (Jonathan's Fiance). This was NOT at graduation...all the older kids went out in Nashville to celebrate Jacob's 21st birthday the night before Becca's Graduation. I can't believe my baby brother is growing up.

All 4 of the Williams kids: Me, Jonathan, Becca, & Jacob. We're all living at home together for the first time in 6 years. It's been an interesting experience, to say the least.

I guess nothing interesting happened after my sister's graduation...until my wonderful friend Katie's wedding!

 Congratulations Katie & Boomer!

For Father's Day we got my Dad some flowers for his garden...then we had to plant them before the storms came through a few days later. So of course we waited until it was dark to get started. This is how we improvised:

 Really bright light with a REALLY long extension cord attached.

This is how we spaced the plants...with the 1 million trowels that we found in the garage.

Then I helped with vacation bible school at church and got put in charge of the 4 & 5 year olds. One night we had 24 of them. Unbelievable. What was really unbelievable was how well behaved they were most of the time! 

Here are my girls being mermaids...they are too cute!

We went to Becca's choir concert before she left for Europe. She sang beautifully! Then Jonathan, Dad, Mom, & I got up early to take her to the airport.

 Ready to go!


Soon after dropping Becca off, I headed to Chattanooga to celebrate Carlyn getting married!

 The lovely Bride-to-Be!

 The Bachelorette Party...what a good looking group of girls!

The centerpiece at the best table...ours!

Her bouquet was made entirely of brooches...it was beautiful!

While I was in Chattanooga I got to see Rikki & Austin! I ate some of their wedding cake, had a tasty dinner (after the waitress brought the right meal out), ate some mediocre cheesecake...but it was fo free so i won't complain, and helped Rikki convince Austin that they needed a chair from the side of the road. 

I also saw both the Rishi's, my wifey Ali and her man, Jenny, Scott Stuart, Jessica Moerman, and lots of other people I hadn't seen in a long time, including all my favorite UHON staff! Special thanks to Liz and Jeremy for letting me stay with them!

 Congratulations to all the newlyweds!
