Weekend Recap (a little late)

Thought I would catch up on our weekend recap or should it be weekends? Either way, I digress. I won't bore you with a bunch of words but rather multiple weekends worth of pictures. Our life in fast forward...ready...set...go!

-WEEKEND OF JULY 20-

Thursday we checked out Nashville Dancin'. Good music, good beer and free moonshine before 8:00pm, I don't think you can beat that.
SIDE NOTE: Whoever created that logo = genius. Batman building + rock fist = epic graphic design. Nashville is doing big things!

 

Friday I got this little text from one of my best girls Julie. She is preggers and they found out they were having a girl. She wants me to teach her how to twirl to which I said of course!

Saturday morning Mr. Cotty and I woke up and got some good work done. BOOM- work hard, play harder.

After working hard, we decided to try and be good parents by taking Ellie for a little swim.

Then we decided to throw the good parent thing right out the window, by keeping it super classy and drinking 40 ouncers (speaking of playing harder). You can pass judgement if you like. We don't care.

Then we headed to a cookout with The Walkers. Since we were in the pool, this was the only shot I got. It pretty much sums up the evening. 

Sunday, we tried out a new Mexican place right around the corner from our house. It was pretty tasty, but no US Border in my opinion (Team Cotty's personal favorite).

At some point during that week, we had a candlelit dinner just because because we are badass and we love each other.

Then we tried to pick back up the good parenting by throwing the ball down our tiny hallway where she only has to run five feet playing fetch. 

Then at some other point that week, I had a girls night with these lovely ladies.

-WEEKEND OF JULY 27-

Towards the end of the week, I had another girls night with these girls. 

Saturday we went to the dog park and Ellie made a new friend. This is Faith from Indiana. Her family was in town for a high school reunion and her Dad and two sisters brought her over to the dog park. I swear if we could adopt 10 other dogs we would, but we can't because we tried adding a second dog once, but that is another post entirely.

After the dog park, we went over to Matt's office to set up some new things for his first day with his new firm. He hadn't cleaned that thing in 3 years in a while so, being the stellar wife I am,  I swept and swiffered until I was blue in the face. 

I always forget my husband is techincally a Doctor, a Juris Doctor. I have no clue what that means, but I know it's fancy.

Saturday night, we decided to take dinner to the deep south and make a shrimp boil. We got the recipe from our best friends Beth and Kelly. It was ahhh-maze-balls. We also had "What to Expect When You Are Expecting" on DVD from Netflix. It had some funny parts, but overall kind of a dud. 

Sunday we went to church and took it easy. We have been trying to lay low so far this week since we are headed to Chicago for Lollapalooza this weekend which usually makes for amazing pictures and great memories with great friends.
