My ladies: Part 3

I've already told you about the first four of the amazing pool of ladies I get to have stand next to me on my wedding day (here & also here!), and now its time I wrap these "meet my lady" posts with this one!

Meet my fourth bridesmaid: Ashley


Ashley was my very first friend when I was scared to death moving to a new school in 6th grade after my parents divorce. I knew we'd be like best friends when she complimented my amazing american flag velcro Skechers on the first day of school. Who didn't love a good pair of kicks back then? We also were famous for both buying "Kangaroos", writing each other notes, and zipping them up in our shoes. You haven't lived until you can store things inside your shoes, people. No but seriously, this girl is a constant light in my life. She is literally one of the funniest people I've ever met, and her laughter is infectious. She can make the hardest situations much easier to deal with, and  I am so blessed to have her in my life. We have both been through a lot for ladies our age, but have always stood by each other to cry, or laugh.. whichever way we feel like dealing with it that day. I love her to the moon and can't imagine my life without her!

My fifth bridesmaid: Becca


I met Becca in college, and man am I happy I did. She is always up to do whatever, the most random things, and have the best time doing them. This chick is incredible at hair/make up (as you can see, pictured above), so you know I took advantage of that when we were still college neighbors. She is so much fun to be around, and she made a lot of difficult times for me seem easy to get through. She is such a sweetheart, and will tell me how it is, right when I need to hear it. I so appreciate her and our friendship, random text messages, and constant love... and only wish that we lived closer so we could run to Walmart together like we always did in college for absolutely no reason. Oh, this girl also knows how to rock a sweet pair of velcros... don't make me show you pictures. ;)

So, that wraps up my "meet my ladies" posts. I can only hope that when I am recapping my actual wedding, you will realize these are some familiar faces! Can we talk about the fact that my wedding is a craaazyy 130 days away! WHAT!? *panic mode* ... just kidding. I have kept myself pretty cool throughout this planning process, and have only cried once, and aunt flow just so happened to be on visit that week, no judging. 

PS-- If you are a new follower, email me! I want to get to know you! :) its because of YOU guys that I keep on doing this. Your support means more than you know! Happy Tuesday, friends.

Weekend bliss!

This weekend was seriously a blast(if you don't count the embarrassing loss to the Cleveland Browns today), BUT we won't get into that. Any who... Caleb and I took a mini road trip to a town called Mount Vernon (where Caleb and I both went to college) for a friends wedding on Saturday. It was too much fun. One of the things I love most about weddings, besides all the love you can feel, and the exciting feeling now that I know I am "next"... is seeing all your old friends!

The groom, Bryan, was one of Caleb' college roommates and good friends. His gorgeous wife Lydia and I got to know each other through all of these boys. We were kind of always the ONLY ladies around their apartment, so we had to learn to "be one of the boys". It was a hilarious blast all the time, never a dull moment in their big apartment. We had a lot of fun! 




Allen, myself, Caleb and Rich!
Rich, pictured on the right.. decided to get seventeen kinds of snap happy with my camera... and Caleb and I have officially decided we're the worst picture takers on Earth. I'll let you see for yourself..









Oh finally... a "normal" picture.. :)


...and that little girl is DOWNING her pepsi back there. Thanks, chick. Now check out this little cutie, rockin the bowtie.





Looking over these pictures again, makes me miss college. Caleb even said it as we pulled into our old campus' driveway.. "I kind of actually miss this place" ... something he never thought he'd say ;) Let me be clear.. I don't miss the classes, but I do miss the relationships I formed on that wonderful campus. Excited to get in touch with some of them again this week. :) 

Happy Sunday all, hope your weekends were phenomenal!
