So, since my last post a lot has happened. First, we went to Alabama to visit my family and David got to go with us for the first time. I think he had a good time, except for the fact that my sister's friend Jessica also went with us and they acted like they were freakin Paris Hilton the entire time. "That's Hot" and "Loves It" (both said in a botox-induced drawl) the entire freakin time. I thought he was going to kill her before we could get home! Besides the blonde moronic fun, David had the unique priviledge of getting to meet almost everyone in my entire family over the course of two family reunions. He got to meet people I have never met before! It was embarrassing in many ways, but good too because he is still agreeing to marry me! All jokes aside, I think Dave opened up to my family and it was a great chance for them to all get to know each other before we get married.
Speaking of getting married... I will be married in 17 days!! OMG! Over the last couple of weeks I have had both my Bridal Shower and my Bachelorette Party! They were so much fun, and I owe it all to Stephanie and Tami, who made everything happen. They are so freakin creative! At my Bridal Shower we played fun games like "What Would David Say" and "How Well Do You Know the Bride?" We had it at the Ambrosia Tea Room, which is already cute, but then they put up pictures of David and me with candles and flowers everywhere. It was just so special. The whole day was really fun since that morning I had my bridal portrait sitting, and they ended up turning out really good. This Saturday night was my bachelorette party at Las Casas, and once again it was perfect down to the wedding ring placecards and the lingerie clothesline display. Probably the two funniest things about the shower were the fact that Stephanie and Tami made this huge penis cake by hand and the "member" was vanilla and the balls were chocolate! The second thing was that Jennie bought a Playgirl (which I think is funny in and of itself) and replaced all the faces with cut-outs of our favorite actors! The main one was Colin Firth, since he is who I always cite as my favorite actor. She also put in Hugh Jackman, Owen Wilson, Russell Crow, Nicholas Cage, Johnny Depp, and a couple more. ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS! It was definitely the hit of the party.
Afterwards we all came back to Waco to go out to Cricket's which ended up being really fun since everyone was in town for graduation (Go Liz!!). Tami had arranged for the bartender to make us a special drink called Between the Sheets which was delicious! I was so happy Jessica and Jennie decided to stay, and we all played a scavenger hunt which was so much fun!! My team, which was me, Liz, and Carol, totally won. It was also fun because as soon as we walked in we met a friend Stephanie, Tami and I went to high school with who was also there for a bachelor party, so he stayed with us for a while. I also ran into Lance and Adam since Lance had graduated on Saturday. Just to sum it up, I got REALLY drunk. I had about 8 shots and 4 drinks, and the last one was a Four Horsemen, which for those of you who know what that is, will understand when I say I had to leave immediately after I downed that one. I got home, upstairs, in my pj's with help from Steph and Liz, and got into bed, THEN had to throw up. Not fun, and not I won't be able to have a shot in a very long time. I don't regret it though, and I had an absolute blast!!
In future news, if you don't already know, I am getting married in about 2 weeks! I pretty much have all of the planning done, I just am waiting for it all to start happening. This weekend David and I are going to Canyon Lake to celebrate his brother Ryan turning 21, so it will be nice to take a break before school starts. At the end of September I get to go to Las Vegas for the Dr Pepper Bottler's Convention for work, and we are staying three extra days just to see the city and everything. While we are there Jennie and I are going to Thunder From Down Under to celebrate my birthday! I am so excited because we are totally getting VIP passes! Check it out at

For work I also got to go to Crawford to serve Dr Pepper floats to the White House Press corps, so to check out the pics and the story on that, go to the museum's blog under my links.
Love you all!
