YeeeeHaaaawwww!

THIS is why I’ve been sore and bruised all over this week!
Now I can cross mechanical bull riding off my list of “Things to Do Before I Die”
(Although something tells me I just might be doing this again!)
Thanks for sending me a photo Miss Jess!
What are some things on your list of crazy things to do?
Giddy Up!
Stephanie, my maid of honor, and two other friends (Rob & Bethany) celebrated their 30th birthdays this weekend wild wild west style, complete with mechanical bull! Despite Andy’s plea for me NOT to ride the bull (he didn’t want to chance me walking down the aisle with a broken arm) I couldn’t help
myself…and I rode it three times!!! They took it easy on me though so it was all good. I’m just a little sore today. Some of my friends got photos of me so I’ll have to try and track them down.

Of course I had to have a pink hat! I couldn’t find cowboy boots though so I
improvised with white go-go boots (not shown), which I’ve always wanted anyway!

How ’bout that cowboy?!

Even though you can’t see them real well, crafty Tara made her own blue jean chaps – hilarious!!

My girls for 20+ years! (I can’t believe I’m old enough to say that!)
Weekend Update
This weekend is my last FULL weekend with no plans so I tried to cram in as much wedding stuff as I could. I had my final makeup and hair trial, got most all the gift bags packed (I will post photos after the wedding so our friends can’t be snoopy and see their gifts!), got my ring back from the jewelers, packed the bathroom baskets, and I finished my bridal banner! As always, for your viewing pleasure….

Andy’s is a titanium with carbon fiber inlay. Mine is diamonds and pink sapphires.


The ushers (Blake & Tyler) will carry this down the aisle in front of the flower girl (Aaliyah) right before I make my grand entrance. I thought this might help Aaliyah be less nervous since she will be walking not far behind her cousins.
And, how cute is this:

We got Booed!
This little bag was left on our doorstep Friday with a cute poem about Halloween. You’re supposed to go to the store (good plot Walmart!), get two new “Boo Kits”, fill them with treats (ours had this cute candy dish and mini Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups…hmmm, where did those go I wonder?!) then leave the bag on the doorstep of your friend/neighbor. It also has a door hanger you put on your door that says “I’ve Been Booed!” so people know if your house has been booed!
How FUN are these!?

Wedding Shoes
I decided I needed some snazzy pink shoes for the wedding instead of the black shoes that match the bridesmaids. After no luck at a few stores I found these sparkly pink shoes at Dillard’s. The best part was that not only were they on sale…they were on clearance marked down to $5.99 from $89.00!! SCORE!
And We’re Back!!
My goodness. If I lose internet connection for a hour I go nuts. Can you imagine how I’ve felt all week without my website?! I had a little bit of free time and A LOT of stuff to tell you and photos to show you all but my server was down.
Good news is we’re back. Bad news is you’ll have to wait until I have some free time once again to post. LOL. Hopefully tonight.
