Wedding Dress Party

Last Saturday night a friend of mine decided to have a wedding dress party. Her thought was that us women pay waaaaay to much for our dresses to wear them once and leave them in a closet for 50+ years. So her and 15 of her friends rented a Cadillac Escalade limo and hit the town in our dresses. We got lots of priceless stares, free shots and drinks, and had a blast. The limo picked me and another friend up at my house at around 7:30 at night and it wasn't until 2:55 am when the limo swung back down my street. I think my friend is planning on making this a yearly
event!

Kara's Month

It all started the middle of August with a garden tea party bridal shower for Kara. The weather was good, there were lots of yummy foods & beverages, & Kara got lots of great gifts. Then the Saturday before her wedding was the batchellorette party. We stayed at the CdA resort and hit several bars. It was a great night. On September 3rd, Kara & Deater tied the knot. The day was very windy but everything turned out perfect. It was a small backyard wedding and Kara was beautiful. The music was great and the dancing was fun. Here are some pics of all the events.

Max

On Tuesday Greg & I welcomed Max into our home. He is a 10 month old Dachshund. He has a great personality & loves to go go go! His favorite toy is his new frisbee. I think he would take it to bed with him if he was allowed to bring it in the house!

Home Improvement Projects

Lately we have been spending the rainy days doing some home improvement stuff. First we added a new utility sink in our laundry room. We put it into the existing cabinet. It is so nice to have & we have already used it several times. The other thing we did is add laminate flooring in our kitchen & dining room. It was a lot of work but is a huge improvement from the ugly laminate that was there.

Gonzaga basketball banquet

This week I was given 2 free tickets to the Gonzaga mens basketball banquet. Greg wasn't able to attend so I took my dad with me. It was a fun night full of wine, good food and visiting with the players. They even wandered around the floor & took pictures and signed autographs. While I was there I got my picture taken with a player that is 7ft 4. Here are some pics from the night. Today the Zags were selected for 4th seed. They play on Thursday in Portland. Hopefully they make it all the way to the Final Four. Go Zags!!!
