Party in the USA

I'm in a funk. It's been a rough week so far. Hopefully things improve. My anxiety is in over-drive tonight and my old friend stomach ulcer is churning away. It is obvious by the fact that I came in exhausted, but have sat down only to write this. I made a quick supper, have scrubbed the bathroom from top to bottom and am about to clean our bedroom and change the sheets. I'm thinking I may just have to break out the good 'ol benadryl tonight to get some rest.

I wanted to share some pictures from this weekend. I have been wanting to have a BBQ ALL summer long! We finally threw one together pretty last minute. I have to say, it turned out pretty fun! I only snapped a handful of pictures - but we had a great turnout. Both mine and Jay's families and some special friends. It was hotter than you-know-where and the mosquitoes were crazy - but believe me, we had a nice night! Casey, Dani and I didn't close up shop until around 1:00am. Sometimes you just need a little girl talk.

Yummy good! We had SO much!

There is nothing like a fun time with friends and family to lift your spirits!

The Weekend!

What a fun weekend! My childhood best friend married the love of her life, and I couldn't have been happier. It was such a blessing and honor to be a part of her special day.

We kicked off Friday night with a rehearsal and delicious dinner at Susie's Bake Shop in Sikeston, MO. Then, all the girls stayed in Sikeston at a hotel to be up bright and early for make-up. We laughed and laughed that morning and had such a fun time getting ready together.

My, what big hair you have Lee.

I wear my sunglasses...

We headed to the church to get dressed and take some photos. Hopefully we will have the professional shots soon so I can share, but the entire wedding party was gorgeous. The wedding was so special and touching. Just perfectly Kelly and Taylor.

We headed from the wedding to the reception, which once again was just gorgeous! And the food was wonderful. We danced the night away :) I am so happy for the new Mr. and Mrs.
