Good Afternoon All,
It has been a wild and fun two weeks now its time to get you all caught up to speed. Two weekends ago was my little sisters
21st Birthday. Can you believe it, she is 21 years old..good Lord how old does that make us :( Anyway lets not think about that. That same weekend also happened to be a very good friend of mines wedding. I kicked off the weekend Wednesday night...yes you read that right, some times the weekends just aren't long enough and you have to start early. I made a big crockpot of jambalaya and had the girls over for wine night. We had lots of wine and food and probably stayed up too late, oh well you only live once right? Thursday afternoon Christy came in to town, as well as several of the people coming for Becca's wedding. I met Becca freshman year in college and we have been friends since. We have a big group of friends that all hung out together in college so her wedding was going to be a college reunion.
Once everyone got to the house we headed out to BINGO!! Don't be misled thinking this is an old folks game, it is not. In Houston there is a huge bingo hall and it is quite the thing to do on Thursday nights for 20/30's crowd. Its neat because you can bring your own food and drinks and have a good time with friends. This was my first time going and it was a blast. Unfortunately we didn't win any money, but we had a good time playing. After bingo we went to midtown to have a few drinks, it was nice relaxing evening and thankfully not too hot! Friday we were busy as ever trying to get all the last minute things finished up for Beccas wedding. Around three we rounded everyone up and headed to the venue for the rehearsal. Since dinner wasn't until six we all headed back to mi casa to hang out and ended up playing a speed game of monopoly. The rehearsal dinner was held at a local BBQ joint and everything was delicious. After dinner it was back to the casa to pre-party our going out. Once everyone showed up we headed to Washington to have another night out. Keep in mind, my body is not used to this back to back going out. I am normally on the 4:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. schedule. We all had a good time dancing the night away.
The next morning we were up and at it again. Since the boys were in town we decided to get a work out in before the wedding festivities. We all headed to Crossfit for a 9 a.m. work out, it was challenging, but we survived. After lunch with the group we headed to the venue to get ready. After make up and hair time we were ready to go get Becca hitched. It was a beautiful service and everything went smoothly. After the ceremony it was time to party! It is impossible to describe the amount of fun that was had that evening. Since these were the guys I learned how to dance with we danced the night away!

After the reception was over we headed to Wild West a country bar just down the street and continued the party there until 2 a.m. Since Sunday was Christy's birthday we had to wait until Midnight to get her in. Whooo and then she was 21!! I think she had a really good time hang out with the group, thankfully it was a pretty tame 21st birthday. Sunday morning I ran a few people to the airport and then it was time to celebrate Christy's birthday (even though we celebrated all weekend) For breakfast we walked down the street to Coco's crepes and had Nutella crepes. Since she was 21 we headed over to Blackfinn for Mimosa's. After breakfast we were le tired so we took a nap. For dinner that evening we went to Mia Bella an nice little Italian restaurant in downtown, Christy had Shrimp Fettuccine and a Cosmo and I had some sort of Veggie Fettuccine and a glass of wine. Dinner was delicious! Afterwards we both decided to get some rest, I had work in the morning and she was heading back to College Station. It was a long awesome weekend and was sad to see it go.
