Creepy Uncle Moe

I got to pick up my wedding dress today! SO EXCITING! If you had your dress altared at Sew-It-Seams then you've met Ana. She cracks me up! I was told that after I put on my dress today that I would get some dress ettiquite lessons. Do-what?! I'm going to share a few of my favorites. :)

(She also thought Krissy was my younger sister! LMAO! I didn't have the heart to correct her!)

"Everyone thinks its funny when the guy drinks too much and ends up in the bed of a truck, drunk. Girls don't look good drunk and no one thinks it funny, so don't do it."

"There's always a creepy Uncle Moe who wants to cop a feel. Hold onto your wine glass for dear life to block him."

"You're going to need to pee at some point during the night. You'll need to get a plastic bag and a shower curtain."

"You'll need to be potty trained."

"You're boobs will be in your throat if I do that."

"I have made your butt look fantastic. Wow, I'm good."

"It's going to be tight. Beauty hurts."

I spent the whole time laughing. 36 days and counting! CRAZY!

SCUBA-dooba-doo!

Over the past 2 weekends, Nathan and I spent approx. 25 hours taking our Open Water PADI Certification courses. I am SO TIRED! We did the first weekend in a local pool and this past weekend in the Comal River. I can't wait to sleep in on a Saturday instead of waking up to sit in class. All tiredness aside, it was a lot of fun and I can't wait to go diving in Belize on our honeymoon! If you're interested in taking the classes, let me know and I'll tell you who we went through and what all you'd really need to buy. (Warning: It's expensive, but so much fun!) Here are some goofy pictures of our adventures in SCUBA. Enjoy! :)

There's ALWAYS time to stop at the Winery On The Gruene!

$2 for a four-sample tasting? Yes, please!

It actually felt warmer in the water than out of it.

The first morning it was 30 when we got there!

Wow. 'Nuff said. :)

Repeat Resolution

So I didn't exactly meet my resolution for last year. It's time to try, try again. The goal: to run at least 10 miles a week giving me a total of 520+ miles for the year. It will be easy when I still getting ready for my races at the beginning of year but it's the heat and my own laziness that get me in trouble over the summer. Running in Costa Rica may be interesting as well but we'll have to move there first, then I'll worry about that! Today I'll be putting in 4 miles. :)

Bad Blogger

As you fellow teachers know, things have been nuts lately. Upon our early release today, I came home and took a really good nap. It was awesome. Nathan and I took engagement pictures about a month ago and I wanted to share a few. We went with Mariam Khalili (someone we were in band with in high school). I loved her urban style and untraditional photos. I really didn't want the Olan Mills kind of pictures. I was looking for something I couldn't do myself. Mariam has been wonderful and did an amazing job. I can't wait to do bridals next and see how they turn out!

Little Nathan

My Dad is making a slideshow for Nathan and I's rehearsal dinner. I got the fantastic job of going through Nathan's mom's photo albums for pictures. Fun, right? It was, until I had to go through and scan every picture twice. The first time I went through them the scanner was jacked up and all 250 pictures came our crappy. (Why did I scan 250 pictures? I'm indecisive and also had no idea what my Dad was looking for. I also wanted them scanned so if I needed them for anything in the future it would already be done. Not to mention that if there was a fire or something at his parent's house all of those pictures would get destroyed forever. ) So I got to scan all of the pictures all over again. Yeehaw! Here are a few of my favorites...

Nathan's grandpa Walter

Blond hair!

Troublemaker :)

Panda. Very original. Panda was in a million pictures.

It's the overalls and sippy cup that up the cuteness.

Lazy lazy

Just finished taking a nap on a Friday night. Yes, it was awesome. Those kids wore me out! Now it's time to clean the apartment and begin packing for Illinois. I'm going to need some warm clothes. The highs for Thanksgiving Day are in the 30's. I don't think I'll be running in a tank and shorts like I did yesterday.

I'll have to do a real update soon, but in the meantime... I found a teal argyle blog background. I am in LOVE! More updates next week when I'm in Carbondale. They don't even have a Target within 40 miles! HELP!
