Mississippi Weekend.

I had an opportunity to visit some friends in Mississippi this weekend and had the best time! Those Arcola Ladies really know how to treat me right. I love when weekend roadtrips are rejuvenating, not exhausting. That's what good friendships do for you - as my new roommate would say, "Relationships should be life-giving." Here's a recap of my weekend in pictures...


Even after seeing a million sunrises and sunsets
in Mississippi, I never get tired of them!


Making the drive across the mighty Mississippi.


Lake Village, Arkansas

Sweet friends, a good book and sunshine!


On Sunday, I met up with my friend Miles and we took a driving tour of the houses featured in the movie The Help.

Here's Hilly Holbrook's house in the film...


And here's the house in Greenwood... (minus the toilets, of course!)


We also saw Celia's house and Mrs. Leefolt's house. I just love old southern homes. So that was my trip to Mississippi. If you're ever going through Greenwood, I highly recommend driving through the old neighborhoods and seeing these beautiful homes. Next weekend, I'll be in Seattle celebrating my 24th birthday and Labor Day! Can't wait to show you all the sites! :)
