Last Minute Prep

We're down to the wire in preparing for our trip! Only 2 more days until we leave - horray!

The laundry is done, and we've pulled out our suitcases. I've made our guest room into the 'European Staging Area' and my suitcase, clothes, and snacks are on the bed, ready to be packed.

Working is insane. It never fails - when I think I'm close to getting everything wrapped up so I can feel comfortable being gone for 2 weeks, things explode! Hopefully it will get done in time - and if not, it will just have to wait! :)

I'm planning to post while we're on our trip. My mom just wants to know we are alive out there. Ashby's bringing his computer so hopefully I'll be able to post some pics!

More soon!

Rehearsal Dinner Set Back

Well . . . we've had a little set back with the rehearsal dinner. It was supposed to be at El Portrillo Mexican Restaurant three weeks from tomorrow. Not any more. Last night, El Potrillo had a fire. Here's the article from the local paper.

Now, we have to come up with a Plan B! Mom called Ms. Vicki tonight to discuss alternates. Here's a few of my brainstorm ideas for the dinner:

• Brown bag it
• BYOD - Bring your own dinner
• Pot luck!
• SONIC catering
• Have pizza delivered to the church

I just think it's kinda funny that our rehearsal dinner burned! When I told Ashby, he just laughed nervously and said, 'It burned? Like . . . to the ground?' It didn't burn to the ground, but it's not going to be open for a long time. . .

Regardless of what happens, we'll still be married at the end of Saturday!

Bad Blogger

Hi again . . .yes, it's been a while . . . It's just been insane lately. We had a great shower in Livingston on August 9th. From there, it's been a whirlwind of travel and working. I've been St. Joseph, Minnesoooooooota, and then Albuquerque, New Mexico. Actually home this weekend, but leaving for Boston on Wednesday. A couple more trips after that too!

SO, my point is I will post another real post again soon! :)

We are Tennis Dorks

What Ashby is doing right now . . .

What I'm doing right now . . .

YAY! Ashby's opponent was serving for the set and Ashby broke him!! Now the score is 5-5! Back on serve!

The tennis center has wireless Internet. I'm trying to get work done and watching Ashby's play off match, but I got distracted by the blog!

Sulphur Springs Landmark

If anyone asked me how to get to my high school, I would say, 'Just turn in by the giant cows.'





The Southwest Dairy Museum is located just behind Sulphur Springs High School! In front of the museam sit 2 giant cows which is a great landmark for telling people how to get the school! If you think I'm kidding, just take a drive past the school while you are in town to see the cows!



And in case you were wondering . . . it's actually a felony to toilet paper the cows, as a couple of guys in my high school class almost found out! I don't think they ever got caught, but it was interesting story about how they ran from the cops . . .
