Megan's Wedding

So Megan's wedding was amazing. It was at a country club in Lakeway, which is just north of Austin. The bridal party had two condos on the premises so that was great. I spent Thursday night with a friend who lives in Austin. We had a great time out to dinner and experimenting with flavored margaritas. Awesomeness.
Friday, after getting a little lost getting to the country club, the rehearsal went off without a hitch. Megan was a little stressed about a few details. The rehearsal dinner was at James' aunt and uncle's condo. So yummy. The bridal party got a necklace and earring set to wear in the wedding.
We spent Saturday getting our hair and make up done. They were both really well done. With this group of girls, we watched the World Cup game.
The ceremony was beautiful. It was outside and hot but thank goodness there was a strong breeze. Megan's brother gave her away. He just about cried the whole ceremony and certainly did during the Father/Daughter dance that he stood in for and dedicated it to their dad. Everyone was really teary for that.
My speech as Maid of Honor went over well. The cake was tasty and the bride was most definitely gorgeous.
After the wedding, a group of us went out to 6th street. We went to the the Chuggin' Monkey. It was a great weekend and will be glad to see everyone again soon!

Long awaited update!!

Sorry it's been so long since I've given an update. My bad. Here's what's going on with me...

The main thing is that I've been laid off. I'm doing a little bit of work with the US Census Bureau but we're out of work right now so I'm just relying on unemployment money to get me through. I'm applying to pretty much everything I come across for the Dallas, N. Dallas area. I've had a few interviews but nothing has panned out.

Megan has been staying with Chelle and myself for the last month or so. She's working at the Vet Clinic for the summer and crashing on an air mattress in our dining area.

Megan's wedding is coming up real soon. Less than two weeks! It's going to be a great time to see everyone. I have to come up with a speech as I am the Maid of Honor. What to say!?! Wish me luck.

No dating to speak of really. Went on a few with a few but, like my job searches, nothing has panned out.

I'll be going to the family cottage in PA for the 4th of July this year and I'm wicked excited. I haven't been in a few years and I've realized I miss it. Gotta make sure someone will be there.... :)

That's pretty much everything I can think of right now. I'll try to remember to keep up with this this time. :)
