Celebrating Becca and Benny!:)

Man. I almost forgot I had a blog. Seriously. Ha! Work has been crazy. Life has been crazy. I'm pretty much pooped out all the time. That being said, life continues to move and I've been up to so many things in the last few months. One of those things was celebrating the marriage of the friend I've known the longest - Becca! We've known each other since we were two. Unreal! <3 I can't believe it's been over a month since she and her hubby got married. Feels like it was just yesterday! I was lucky enough to be part of their special day, and I had such a great time! About a month before the wedding, we had her shower and bachelorette party as well. Such a great opportunity to spend time with old friends and make new friends. Without boring you with words, I'll share some pictures from all the fun festivities. I love my friends. :) (Hopefully I'll be back here more often that once a month, so stay tuned!)

Time to party!:)

 On the bus for the bachelorette party!:)

 Tex, our bus driver. What a character!

 We had missions that night. One of them involved getting a man to give up his underwear. That literally happened within five minutes of being at our first bar. Ha!

 One of my missions was to get a guy to let me write my name in lipstick on his chest. It was surprisingly easier than my first mission, which was to get a guy to donate $10 to the cost of our bachelorette party. Too funny!

 Rehearsal dinner!

Getting ready on wedding day! :)

Such a beautiful bride!

Me and Bean!

Colby girls!

 Begin the love fest!;)

 A great time was had by all!:)

Weekend Full of Family!

Two weeks ago, I got the amazing chance to go home and do nothing but visit with family. 99.9% of the time, I am going home for an event or something, so it's rare that my entire weekend is spent soaking up time with all the fam. This was such a fantastic change of pace, I can't even describe it. Unfortunately, L was out of town so he wasn't able to join, but hopefully we'll get back there soon. I came into town on Friday night and went straight to my brother and Court's house to celebrate some birthdays! My nephew Nash had just turned 5, and my nephew Peyton was turning 14. Ahhhhh! Court's sister's son also had a birthday, there was tons of family and children everywhere. Always a blast! Probably the most exciting thing was meeting my new niece Theo Daisy and my new nephew Will David. My sister-in-laws had their new babies just days apart from each other, so there is so much baby excitement going on these days. Spending that much time with them pretty much convinced me it's time to have a baby...NOW. ;) That was a crazy night just catching up and enjoying time with everyone. The next day, my niece Lia had a volleyball tournament, so my mom and I spent a good chunk watching three of the younger kiddos that day. McDonald's adventures and all! :) Dave and Court both had to leave for a bit at one point, so believe it or not, I was in charge of all EIGHT kiddos on my own for a period of time. Thankfully, the older ones are super helpful at keeping the younger ones occupied, and I was able to mostly just hold baby Will the whole time. I couldn't get enough! Just stayed in that night, and then I bummed around on Sunday with my mom a bit before heading to a school play of some of the kiddos. Ended the weekend by popping over to Wausau and seeing my best friend Erin (long overdue) and going back to Madison. It was seriously a perfect weekend. Loved every minute of it and can't wait until I can go back again! Enjoy some photos from my family adventures:).
