weekend wonders!

 Hey, hey, hey lovelies! 

I hope you all had a fabulous Easter weekend full of quality family time, praising the Lord, and eating some seriously good food! (I personally enjoyed beef brisket, potatoes, green bean casserole, asparagus, chicken salad, deviled eggs, rolls, and pineapple cake...YUM IN MY TUM.) 

I don't have much time to blog today (cue the tears), so I'm just gonna give y'all a recap of my weekend happenings!

Friday

Since it was Good Friday, I had the day off from school (serious Hallelujah), so Jordan and I took it upon ourselves to have a girl's day! 

We started out with a sleepover the night before (don't judge, sleepovers are still cool..always will be), then we got up the next morning and drove to Greenville for an early lunch at a local eatery....

This place is the bomb.com. Fo reals. I've only eaten here a couple of times because I often forget it about! But now that I've had their shrimp & avocado wrap w/ fruit salad on the side...I don't think I'll ever be able to forget it about again. Omg, it was to-die-for. 

After this, we treated ourselves (seriously "treated"..it was $10) to TITANIC-3D! Not gonna lie, it was not worth $10, the 3-D wasn't what I thought it was going to be. I've seen movies in 3-D before that were beyond awesome (i.e. Despicable Me, Toy Story 3), but this just didn't cut it. However, it was nice to be able to see it on the big screen considering I was only 4 years old when it came out the first time!

Yikes, I really am a youngin'. 

 After the movie, J drove me around ECU's campus because even though I've been to Greenville 9817348979 times and am an avid ECU football fan, I'd never driven through the actual college campus! It was super pretty..not as pretty as Carolina's though ;) Sorry, J! :P

Following our impromptu tourism, we went to my Aunt Terry's house so that I could interview her and my sweet cousin Darby for an upcoming child development research project that I have to do (bleh!)

Darby on top, Payton on the bottom -- love my sweet girls :)

 And any girls day would not be complete without a visit to the mall! J needed some new summer clothes and I was more than happy to put some outfits together for her :) 

just a few of the pieces she got

 Saturday was full of a lot of...nothing..followed by dinner with my sweet Daddy. Haha! I got up, showered, went to visit my lovely grandparents for a few hours, did some more interviews for my project, and then went out for dinner and some froyo with my Dad!

Sunday morning, Daddy and I got up and went to church for a lovely Easter service given by our Pastor whose main message was that often times when we complain and worry and fret over certain things, it's over the wrong things and we need to look at things in broader view before we jump to the conclusion that Jesus is out to get us, because that's far from the truth. I thought it was a great message! 

I'll leave you with the few pictures that daddy and I took after church!

with my sweet baby Rue

 Hoping you guys make it through the rest of this Monday! xo
