My Best Friend's Wedding: Part Two

Showers! Parties! Fun!

Isn't that one of the perks of getting married?!? You get a few showers and/or parties thrown in YOUR honor...everyone is there to see YOU and you get some pretty cool gifts. Win win situation, right? I hosted a kitchen shower for the bride along with her sisters and two other friends from high school...everything turned out perfect except for the fact that I was so busy "hosting" and making sure everything went right that we didn't get ANY pictures with people in them:( This makes me majorly sad, but more so for Sarah, the bride. I HATE she won't have any pictures of all the people there to celebrate her that day. My mom graciously allowed us to have the shower at her house and everything turned out beautiful. We did a Sunday afternoon "cake and tea to celebrate the bride to be" shower. She had a good turn out and got some great kitchen accessories. Get to cookin' Mrs. Allen!

The food set up.

The drinks. We did a strawberry champagne punch that I heard was amazing...too bad I couldn't enjoy it myself!

I helped some of the groomsman host a fun party for the bride and groom as well. They wanted one party that wasn't a shower, where everyone could come just relax and have a good time with a casual vibe. We did "beer and barbeque to celebrate Matt and Sarah's I do." Very cute! I went to high school with the groom and bride, we used this party to invite most of our hometown friends...it was so good seeing everyone.

Food, sunflowers for the bride because they are her favorite!

The beautiful bride and me:)

Wonderful hubs, he always makes the yard look so good for the many showers/parties that I like to host!

Some of the girls!

Good times with good friends, what else do you need?

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...

Sweet Caroline
