Memorial Day Weekend Recap!

Here I sit. Watching Here Come the Newlyweds on my DVR! YES! Already hilarious. :) I think I'm diggin' the young couple with the southern accents so far (The Cox's). And the Iengs are pretty comical, too... Currently laughing out loud at the "husband is blindfolded in his underwear" challenge. This.is.awesome. 

As for the weekend, it was fantabulous! I got a lot done, relaxed some, hung with friends, enjoyed the weather...and here are some pics b/c they're better than me just yammering on. (good word: yammering). ;)

Friday: Happy Hour at the Wine Bar with Sarah! Didya know they have $4 wine til 7 for happy hr? (It's house stuff, but still!) I had no idea!! I shall be taking better advantage of this. *affirmative nod*

Saturday: Went to go see Baby Maddox with Brooke and Paul. He is so precious! I feel so lucky to have so many close friends having such beautiful, healthy, amazing babies!! Look at the little guy! Congratulations, Jenny and Jeff!


Saturday night, headed to White Owl for a little bit with Alove. 

This is our swimsuit pose...
...which we tried to reenact at the actual pool on Sunday at her parents' casa. 
Ashley got a ring out of a machine... that featured the Virgin Mary. Yeah. Out of a machine. Why do things like this happen when people visit from out of town?! *sigh*
Even Ellie got to take part in the pool festivities.. but I don't think she loved it. 
Monday night, headed to dinner with Ashley and Sarah at Osaka...which I hadn't been to in forever! My fav: The birthday BONZAI! I have no idea why they call it that, but I think I'm going to shout bonzai on my birthday a lot b/c I love it. 
As other people at the table turned down dessert one by one (even the creepy girl who kept staring at us and listening to our conversation), we all chimed in "sherbet, please!" Yeah, that's how we roll. 

Oh, and did I tell you I found the swimsuit?! As in the one that made the ladies at Dillards give a happy sigh b/c it meant I wouldn't be returning and trying on a zillion more? Yeah. (Note: I always hung the ones up that I tried on, but still. When they recognize you, it's a problem.) So, now I have a few in case I fall, rip one or otherwise ruin said swimsuits. (Again with the clumsy Jax here.) OMG! I can't believe we leave in 8 days! I'm so excited! 
And finally, here's Gracie and me... happy from a good weekend. :)
You know what else I got partially done? MY BED! YAY! It's about time, right?! Sadly, Eric was kinda sick all weekend (that blows, right?) but he still sniffled and coughed his way through helping me prime and paint most of the bed. :) It looks so good black. I can't wait to show you when it's all done!

Hope you had a great long weekend!
