Gary's Birthday Weekend.

We had a fun weekend for 2 reasons:

1. because it was Gary's birthday
2. because Tate and Jesse came to visit

Friday evening the McKee's arrived from Texas, and we went to dinner with about 20 of our friends at US Pizza Company for Gary's 27th birthday.  After dinner, we all came back to our house for dessert.  I decided to bake for once, and made Gary a double chocolate cake and spice cake cup cakes with vanilla icing.  I'm so thankful we have so many friends in our lives who came to celebrate Gary's 27 years of life with us.

On Saturday morning, Laura and I got to do the girl's hair in the Breeding/Cunnighman wedding.  What a pleasure to help with this wedding!  All of the girls were laid back, and we had a great time being a part of Stacy's big day.  I also got to do Tate's hair at work Saturday mornning.  We did fresh color and cut her some rockin' bangs.

After work, Tate, Jesse, Gary, and I drove to Benton for Stacy Breeding and Clay Cunningham's wedding.  The ceremony was beautiful, followed by a fun reception with food and dancing at the Clear Channel Metroplex in Little Rock.

Following the wedding, the four of us met Laura and Caleb for drinks at Union. We had a great time getting caught up on each other's lives and laughing about some old college memories.

Sunday was Gary's actual birthday.  We woke up and went to brunch at Boscos with Tate and Jesse before they began their journey back to Dallas.  When we got home, we were worn out, so we enjoyed a long Sunday afternoon nap, followed by a birthday dinner with my parents at Outback.

Here's to good friends and another year of life for my wonderful husband, Gary.

Weekend Update.

We had an eventful weekend. So I was pretty worn out today. Here are the highlights:

Friday:

We went to Meghan and Andrew's apartment. Meghan and I got to video chat with Lauren and Kristin, who are all the way in Korea! Kristin is visiting Lauren for 3 weeks. It was awesome to all four be able to see and hear each other. We got to talk for about an hour. It sounds like Lauren is having a lot of fun living and working in Seoul.

Afterwards we played an intense game of Taboo. Girls vs. Boys. Girls won!

Saturday:

After work Gary and I headed out to the country for our Sunday school class party. A couple in our class have a beautiful home in the woods on 15 acres of land. We had dinner and the girls had fun playing with all the babies, while the guys shot skeet. Gary finally got to shoot the shotgun he got for his birthday, and he was pretty dang good too!

Sunday:

Sunday was a long day for me. I left to head to Mt. Magazine in Paris, AR to work at a wedding at 7:30am. I got there around 10, started on the first bridesmaid's hair at 11, and 9 bridesmaids later finished right before the ceremony at 5:15! The ceremony was beautiful! The view was amazing! I got to see a lot of OBU alumni. After the wedding and reception I left and headed home. I pulled in the driveway at 11. I was pooped, plugged in the heating pad and went straight to bed.

Monday:

I got to sleep in today, and it was oh so nice! Gary and I went to the dentist. We left with a good report, no cavities! So, we went and celebrated and got ice cream. Is that bad?

Tonight Gary and I grilled out. We made shish-ka-bobs and grilled corn. So good!

After dinner, Meghan came over and brought Tillie to play with Lola. They didn't get as crazy as they did on their last play date, but I think the had fun. Lola also got a bath. She smells so good!

It has been a busy weekend, but a fun one. Not ready for work again tomorrow.
