Weekend Recap!

This weekend was a busy one, but a good one! :) 

Friday night, Eric and I got together with my mom to celebrate my birthday! My birthday goes on forever in case you were wondering about why you keep reading mentions.. haha.. Nah, my mom was out of town on my bday and so were we, so celebrating got a little postponed. We introduced my mom to our fav little Mexican place. She didn't seem as impressed as we are, but she also didn't have a margarita, so that could be why. ;) 

Saturday, Eric and I headed out to celebrate his friend, Chris', 30th birthday with dinner and drinks. :) I wore one of my new bubble necklaces! I don't know how many people have asked me if it's from JCrew. I always 'fess up (b/c I have to share the awesome deal!) but am pretty impressed that no one can tell! Hell, I can't tell, so how would they? 

Making fun of our tiny little drink. But it was good, people. 
Sunday, we headed to OKC to celebrate Dennis' wedding! I know I've mentioned Dennis before, but to catch you up, I consider Dennis my best guy friend... I mean, aside from Eric obviously. Dennis, Mary and I worked at the law firm together and all left within a year or so of each other and have stayed close. We called our little trifecta the "family" and the "circle of trust." haha.. We have so many awesome memories together. My office was next to the conference room, so we'd always convene in there when the partners were meeting, hoping to overhear something. Stupid, thick walls. :)  If everything happens for a reason, the reason I worked at that law firm was so I could meet Mary and Dennis. :)

And I couldn't have picked a more fabulous girl for Dennis. I could write a whole blog post about how wonderful Stephanie is. I am just so happy for the two of them!

It was a gorgeous ceremony at the OKC Farmers Public Market! I'd never even heard of the place, but it was a stunning venue.
Dennis gave Steph cowboy boots with "Love" inscribed on them that she wore with her dress. :)
The little bags were for the candy station and had cute sayings on them like "count the happies." (I really like the phrase "count the happies.." I'm just saying). 


I dig his chili 

Seriously, could they be any cuter?

The family! :)
The weekends are zooming by. I can't believe we're more than halfway through summer! The temps here have reached a daily average of approximately 10 thousand degrees...or more like 104ish. 

I'll leave you with couple gratuitous photos of Gracie dog with her bone. Once she hears Eric or me pull into the drive and lock the car, she runs to the door or perches on the sofa with her bone as if she's showing it off as she greets us. It's pretty adorable. :)

The venue for your friends wedding was gorgeous!! I love all the lanterns and lights hanging from the ceiling!

And you look fabulous Birthday girl! I honestly haven't been a huge fan of the bubble necklace fad, but the turqoise looks awesome against the plain white!
