Now that we've confessed to everyone, this is me, Sarah & Linda the night that we went out and toilet papered Jeff Turtons house and shoepolished Jon & Keith's cars! Sorry guys, but it means we love you...

So I went to Denton for a few days for my best friend, Chelsey's wedding. Wednesday night she decided to call me at 10 to tell me that I needed to be at lunch at 12:30 the next day which meant I had to leave at 7am...SICK! So I wake up and get out of here, unfortunately my first hour of driving was in the rain and I HATE DRIVING IN THE RAIN! I made it in town just in time for the bridal lunchean and things went great. After lunch I went to Lewisville to find me a new outfit to wear to the rehersal dinner. I made it home in time for dinner so I went out with my parents then I came home and took a nap then I headed over to Chelsey's new house and we had a party over there. First we just put together the party favors for the wedding then we had fun! The guys all came over and we hung out with them, but I eventually had to go to bed because I had to wake up early Friday morning too. Friday I had my very first spa treatment and now I've been spoiled! My mom boyght me the spa treatment for my birthday and she got me the full package. So I had a facial, a full body massage, and a spa manicure & pedicure. After my treatment I went to my moms office and told my mom how smooth I felt and made her feel my baby butt smooth arms. Man I could handle that everyday, too bad that won't ever happen. Friday afternoon I napped all afternoon and woke up just in time for the rehersal. My pastor gave me greif as he always does, I love my pastor! After rehersal I took Kristen with me to the dinner, that's Chelsey's little sister. Dinner was good except our waitor sucked at getting us our drinks so I got one Dr. Pepper for the entire Wedding Party to share. After dinner we headed to Beau's parents house to finish wedding announcements. I had fun talking to Lori & Phyllis. Too bad Beau's taken because I could enjoy having Lori as my mother-n-law. After we finished the announcements we went over to Chelsey's to finish the favors. Me & Kristen got there and just sat and talked while we waited for Chelsey & Britney, we talked forever then there was a change of plans. It was after midnight so I had to go get something from Beau because Chelsey was no longer allowed to see him. Then we headed up to the church to help her parents decorate. We touched up Chelseys slide show and put out all the party favors then went home to get some rest so we weren't sleepy during the wedding. Woke up bright and early Saturday morning to get my hair done, then I went to Chelsey's to talk with her & Kristen for a bit. Then ran some stuff up to the church and helped out for a few minutes, but had to run back to the hosue to get my stuff and to eat some lunch. Back to the church at noon to get ready for pictures. I'll have to show ya'll pictures when I get them, especially now that I know how to post pictures. There was one point that we were taking pictures and I started to get teary eyed, I knew I wouldn't survive the wedding. Forgot to mention I cried in rehersal too, but that's okay because me & Lori (Beau's mom)both cried. We had a bet to see who would cry the most, she ended up winning because I was actually able to gain control over myself. So the wedding starts and I am doing fine, I make it down the isle suprisingly enough. I made sure to smile big because pictures were being taken like crazy. Then I get on stage and the flower girl & ring boy make it up then here comes Caleb, Chelsey's son. And I start crying, dang it...I was doing so good. So I get myself cleared up and then here come's the bride and I completely loose it. Don't worry I gained control again and then it was just an occasional weep. Good thing there is prayer during a wedding because it gives the bridal party a chance to wipe our noses and eyes clear. I kept trying to make Lori smile so I stopped crying and was smiling at her, but it didn't help any. Too bad my mother was balling hysterically...you would have thought it was me getting married up there. Everything went well and the wedding was over in a flash! Beau's family kept telling me that when they were looking at me and I started crying they all started to cry, my bad...I guess I have a contagious cry. Pictures finished quickly then it was reception time. I had to make my toast, I was ready for it and I figured I wouldn't get choked up which is great. Then Chelsey's dad made his little toast and he got really choked up and I lost it and new there was no way I could regain control. Beau's dad, the Best Man went and then it was my turn. So I get up there and tell everyone I thought I could make it till Doug got choked up so they would just have to forgive me. My mom said she turned her head away from me so I wouldn't see her crying because she knew it would get me. So I looked right at Chelsey & Beau as I talked to them about perseverance, me stuttering trying not to cry and Chelsey looking right at me crying...I could hardly make it. Afterwards everyone told me I made them cry again, what's this with me being able to make people cry like that?! I survived my toast, wahoo! We went outside to put Chelsey's stuff in the getaway car...which was a corvette, it was amazing!!! Russ let us shoepolish it too, so that was awesome! We didn't have much space so it just said Just Married! Congrats! And there was a heart around Beau's space. I stayed afterwards and cleaned up with Chelsey's parents. I took a lot of fruit and some cake home. Then I took fruit over to Lori's house and Beau & Chelsey were there so I stayed and hung out. Beau's grandma & Chelsey took down my hair for me. I spent all night over there. Lori adopted me, yay!! I was going to have to marry her younger son if I wanted in the family, so she adopted me instead. I stayed over there till about 10:30 then I went home to hang out with my mommy. Sunday I slept in, then went to lunch with my daddy then came home and took a nap. My mom was sick Sunday so we didn't get to hang out. So really I didn't get to see much of my mommy, but she's coming up July 4th, wahoo!!!!! So the wedding was wonderful, I love Chelsey and sharing her wedding day with her was amazing. I did a lot of reflecting on our friendship and man how I love that girl. Sometimes I wish I lived near Denton so I could see her & Caleb more. I loved being a part of her family again, I always feel so loved by her family when I am with them. And then Beau's family was so great too. It was amazing! Makes me miss my family, and when I say that I mean the entire family. The only thing that gets us all together is funerals and well I wish that wasn't what it took. Anyway, long blog but it's the only thing thats gone on in my life lately.
