I get by with a little help from my friends...

And these girls can make me laugh until I nearly pee my pants.

We had a CFI (where we all used to work together) girls night last night and laughs were had.

Here is evidence that I'm not lying, in case you don't believe me.

PS I think awkward poses = a good time. Thus the arm linkage, etc.

That being said, I need more girls nights! Ginger/Tina group- shall we? Erin & Laura I- you're far away from me :( but someday maybe WE can do a girl's night. Anyone else who may be reading this that would like a girls night, I'm game!

Thanks, friends.

Tina: Thank you for your sweet words- they mean a lot to me :] and def. put a smile on my face and thanks for your ideas!

Erin: Thanks for your comment as well! I actually don't know the brand of my dress so I can't give a link. That's ok, it'll be a fun surprise!

For your viewing pleasure, I've updated my blog this evening and linked to those I love. I hope that you enjoy.

I actually scrapbooked a layout tonight (OMG*thatneverhappens*).

And here she is...

Seriously, I NEVER create scrapbook layouts. I'm waaaaaay more likely to make a mini-book. But tonight I wanted to accomplish something to put in my actual book, and I did just that!

Dishes can wait.

Here are those pics (see below) :D

I can't believe I ever wanted to be a wedding planner...

Great news: I bought my wedding dress on Sunday! I'm in love with it. I can't wait to wear it :) Here are pictures of the event, not the dress. We had a really fun bridal weekend and I had my first house guests which was very fun. There were tears shed when I put on "the dress." Scott's mama = super excited and super sweet to me!
PS if you stay at my house- know that your picture will be taken! ;)
Annoying news: No, we still don't have a reception site. Its kind of a nightmare. I JUST WANT TO HAVE THIS PART DONE. We have called every stinking possibility in the tri-state. We have a couple possibilities, but its still just FRUSTRATING. I feel like once that is booked, other things will be MUCH more smoother sailing and easier to figure out. Everything comes down to the reception site. I feel like a failure everytime anyone asks me 1. What is your wedding date? (Don't know, waiting to find the reception site) 2. Have you decided on a site yet? (Nope. Nope. Nope.)

So, thats where I sit this Tuesday (Idol) night. Feel free to say nice things to me. They will be appreciated.

.e.x.h.a.u.s.t.e.d.

That is exactly what I am. I went from basically having...nothing...to do at work to this week where I was SWAMPED & had to deal with mini-crisis after mini-crisis. It was just one of those weeks where everything that could you wrong just about did. Even with being off on Wednesday, I still feel like I'm racing to try to get things done. I'm SO glad I don't have a work cell phone yet so I at least don't have to deal with anything for 2 days. Hopefully.

I'm looking forward to a fun weekend with Katie coming to stay and going wedding dress shopping on Sunday with Katie, Laura and Scott's mama. It totally stresses me out that we haven't booked our reception site yet. Ugh. Hopefully I can speak with the lady we need to speak to tomorrow.

So, ugh. I'm going to bed. It's 10:27 on a Friday night and I've felt like I could go to sleep for a few hours now. So...I'm gonna go do that. Nighty night.

Ladies and Gentlemen... The Cincinnata Redlegs!

We love baseball. Last night we had the best seats EVER! We were four rows back from homeplate in the "diamond club" and we got to eat at the fancy restaurant beforehand as part of the sweet package AND we had a waitress bring us whatever we wanted during the game. It was a great time.

We love one of the coaches- Billy Hatcher. At a game last year, Scott yelled his name and he pointed back and ever since then...LOVE. Here's our boy with my fave Ken Griffey, Jr. We were so closed to the dugout!

And since we NEVER make it on the kiss-cam, here's a semi-intense self-portrait of us :]

good things :)

here is a picture of a ribbon project I worked on a few weekends ago. you can't so much see the ribbons, but I like the effect. So here she is...

I'm watching Rock of Love...again.

Idol was great tonight. I heart David Archuleta & Michael Johns (& Scott E. Livesay) :D

I have tomorrow off work, which is SUPER. I've been soooo busy, that my boss thought it would be a good idea for me to work 4 ten hour shifts instead of five eights. I'm ok with that. I plan to finish arranging my scraproom & sleep in (I haven't been sleeping well, ew) & then ****REDS GAME****. Scott's Dad scored us SWEEEEET tickets! I'll take pictures and they will be awesome.

Rock of Love is so ridiculous. Seriously.

Pictures MAYBE tomorrow of my scraproom!

Oh yes and I'm going to be trying out for a design team (scrapbook related). I'm SO excited! I've never tried out for one before, and I like the challenge of the audition process :) & I really like the companies products! They are very hip and cute and fun.
