Briar Woods Prom
Katie and Kimmy, Peter's sisters, had their prom this last weekend. I was lucky enough to help them get ready for it. It was so fun to get them all prettied up. Aren't they so cute?

I actually did Kimmy's hair and makeup. I'll be honest, I'm pretty impressed with myself. How cute is her hair?!They both are such gorgeous girls though that it doesn't take much to make them look amazing.
Helping them get ready brought back so many fun memories from high school.

Weekend Delight
This last weekend was a fun one. Friday night we went to dinner at Pei Wei and then Katie Bell's high school musical. They performed Footloose and she was so good! I have seen this on Broadway years ago and so I was a little nervous to see a high school rendition of the show, but Katie made it all worth it. She's so talented at singing and has great comedic timing. She played the wife of the preacher.
On Saturday Peter and I headed out to Maryland to enjoy a hike with some friends at Sugarloaf Mountain. It was so nice to get outside and get a good workout in. The views from the look out points were beautiful.
We ended the night off with going to see Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Really cute! I liked it. Peter didn't have any tests this coming week and so we were able to relax and play all we wanted.
Peter got me these for Mother's Day. 
Love that boy!

My dear Kristin
Kristin has been a great friend to me over the years; always follow up to see how I am doing. I've appreciated all the notes and calls and emails I've gotten from her over the years. She's just one of those girls! Love you Kristin.

Cinco de Mayo
Yesterday Peter and I had a little get together at our house to celebrate the Mexican Independence from the French. We invited several different couples over and had a great night. We served carnitas tacos and some very delicious virgin-margaritas. I think we're going to have to make this an annual tradition.

The Civil War
This last weekend Peter and I went on a hot date to the city to get some dinner and a show. We went to Ford's Theater and saw the musical The Civil War. I've always wanted to go to a show in Ford's Theater because it's such a historical building. As you're sitting in the audience you can look up and see the balcony where Abraham Lincoln was killed. The theater is small and very quaint, so the sound is amazing.
While the show was different than I expected, it was so good. The songs follow the experiences of different people throughout the Civil War intermixed with quotes from famous people at the time like Frederick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln. The singers were so good. I have never heard people just belt out a song with everything they got like that in person before. I loved the upbeat songs the boys sang together, the power they sang those songs with were really impressive.

And of course I didn't take any pictures of us because I'm lame and always forget to or forget to bring my camera.
