Weekend Wedding Recap

A good college friend of mine got married this weekend.  A few of my besties and I made a girls weekend of it and all went together. The bride was of course beautiful, and the wedding was classy, cheerful, and of course a great time.

 

My girls and I tend to get a little crazy when we are together.  In fact, as we were walking into the ceremony, a lady who I later found out was the brides aunt, asked us if we were the rugby girls.  We had a reputation before the wedding even started!

Here's a shot of us, proving who we are for the camera, I guess!  The food was great, the dance was fun, the boys were cute, what more could we have asked for??

Oh, I don't know, maybe one of those cute boys picking me a flower??  :)  It didn't stay this pretty for long.  

Before the ceremony, we hit a few of the local bars.  It was in a small riverside college town, so lots of fun little hole in the wall joints.

I really like this picture of me and Willy.  One of my favorite people ever.

Funny story - after the wedding we went back out into the bars (with the cute boys who of course bought all the drinks!)  In one of the bars I got asked the weirdest question I have EVER been asked.  IT went something like this:

Girl in bar to me - OMG I absolutely LOVE your dress!!! What size are you?

ME - Oh, well thanks.  It's Candies brand, so it's probably an 8 or a 10, I don't know.

Girl - I love it.  I want it.  Do you think you could sell it to me?  and your cute red shoes too??

ME - Um, no, I don't think so, I really like it too.  I bet you can find one online.

So I turned back to my friends, wanting the crazy girl to leave.  She comes back with 2 shots, gives me one.  We cheers, and after the shot she says

"How about $30 plus we can switch outfits right now in the bathroom?"

ME - Uh, that's pretty gross.  I think I will just keep my dress.  But thanks anyways.

SERIOUSLY.  

How does this stuff always happen to me?  Crazy girl.

Gah!!! I LOVE being a mark. rep!

Okay, so most of you know I am a mark. representative. I just looked at the sneak peaks for what is coming up in the next few months -You guys need to see this stuff!!

Make sure to go to my webstore and sign up for the emails and you'll be notified when these things are available for purchase!!

I'm not ignoring you.

I haven't been meaning on neglecting my blog.  I can't believe tomorrow is already Thursday!! This week has FLOWN by.  

We had a pretty uneventful 4th.  Fun, but we just stuck around home and family.  I had some projects around here to finish up and my dad put two ceiling fans in our bedrooms finally.  I bought them 9 months ago.  (Still no progress on the bathroom, and everything has been bought and hanging out in the garage for a YEAR for that project.  Oh well.)

Adam is going to Vegas this weekend.  With some guy friends.  He'll have a good time.  Then yesterday I find out my sister will ALSO be there this weekend for a dental conference.  I'm a TEENSY bit jealous.  (Is it bad if I don't tell them that the other was there until AFTER they get back???  I want to be there!!!!)  I doubt they'd run in to eachother anyways.

I can't remember what it was like to have the tv to myself and watch adult shows at night.  Now, it's cartoons or Disney movies.  Anyone else have a kid who is OBSESSED with that stupid Phineas and Ferb or whatever it's called????  It's a great show.

I've been running on my treadmill 2 miles every day for the last 2 weeks.  I feel GREAT!  

I haven't really lost any more weight, but I feel firmer which is awesome.   I'm going to wait a few more weeks and then take measurements to see what's going on.

I have a wedding this weekend for an old college friend.  It'll be really fun.  A bunch of our old group will be there, some of which I haven't seen in YEARS.  Thank god for facebook!!!  Seriously.

Then next weekend I have a bachelorette party for my friend, whose nickname is STEAMER.  It's sure to get ridiculous.  I can't wait!

Check out my stash!

  

Holy Motherload.  My swap partner, DivaEva,

is awesome.  

I went to the post office on Monday, and had a HUGE box waiting for me.  She even decorated the outside!  

(I am so mad at myself, my cameras battery was really low and I only snapped a couple of pictures before it was done for.)

Check it out - she left NOTHING out.  In my stash, I got everything I need to have a great 4th of July.  (Let's see if I can list everything and not leave anything out!)  

Paper plates, cups, napkins, a tablecloth, all flag decor.  2 bags of roasted peanuts (YUM - good thing there are 2 bags because the Brodster and I both love em), candy, (Brody claimed this) red white and blue beads, an adorable flag decoration, 3 little flags to wave around (BRody has claimed these too), red white and blue flip flops, an adorable daisy bandana, Sparklers and snaps for Brody, 

(Eva I can't even tell you how excited he was that he got presents too!!!), a HotWheels coloring pad for Brody, and a bottle of Cosmopolitan mix for me.  Eva also included a light saber and glow ball that I wanted, but Brody sadly claimed as his own.  I wish I had pictures of him showing off his fighting moves with the light saber.  It's classic.

and I am not finished yet - I also got red white and blue socks, decoration lanterns, and some pins!  ~ and the cutest notecards ever, can't wait to write some letters!

Brody had to be in the picture too -

I did get some pics last night of Brody trying out the fireworks!  He had a blast!


Thanks so much Eva!!!!  You rock!  If you guys haven't been by her blog - you must.  It's a fantastically fun read!!  

Psst..... Check out this giveaway!!!!!

John Deere Mom has me all jealous again.

She always has the best giveaways!!  Hopefully I WIN this time!! 

Brody would love me forever!
