This is a picture of the condo where most of us are staying and also where the wedding will take place! It has a indoor and outdoor pool, a large hot tub, and a restaurant and bar in the lobby.

The guys are planning a fishing trip for one day and golf trip for another! The girls are planning on laying at the beach, getting hair and nails done and just relaxing. Oh and we can't forget watching Ellison play at the beach for the first time! I can't wait to see her and how she reacts to the sand and water. I know she loves the water already!!

Update on Wedding Things!

Hello everyone! We are getting so close to the wedding! Brent and I can't wait. We talk about it each and everyday. Almost 2 weeks ago we sent out of invitations and have gotten many RSVP back already. Of course, most say no, but we knew that when we decided to have a beach wedding and we would not change our decision today to do it this way. I have had one shower given by my sister, Kriston and my work shower given by Angie Biscari is this weekend. Thanks Angie for opening your home to all our co-workers just for me!

We have decided on the groomsmen outfits and some have ordered them already! But you know men, I have to keep on top of them to make sure they are getting necessary things done.

I received a call from Low's Bridal today, that the bridesmaids dresses are in and will be shipped in the next couple of days. I have attached a picture of what they are going to look like. I love the color! It is so fun and beachy and will look great with all the girls tans!

Until more exciting news, which shouldn't be too long....

First Bridal Shower

This past Saturday, the 18th, was my first bridal shower given by my sister, Kriston. It was held at Anna Renae's Tea Room in Oakland. I had a blast and really enjoyed getting to spend time with everyone. Thanks to everyone for all the gifts. I will post some pictures as soon as I can. Until more news! Only 8 weeks from today until we leave for the beach! YAY!

Playing in the store with Aunt Whitney Here are some pictures from my trip to see Kriston, Jason and Ellison. We had a great weekend and enjoyed spending time together. I could not believe how much Ellison has grown in the past few months. She is growing into such a little lady. She loves to talk (in her language of course) and blow bubbles. She loves it when you talk to her. There is nothing sweeter than talking to her when she gives you a great big smile. She has the biggest, prettiest smile. I am so excited because it will only be four days until I get to see her again. They are coming into town for Brittany's wedding weekend.

My life is back!

As most of you know, I have been taking summer school classes for the last 3 weeks. My life has pretty much been nonexistent for 3 weeks. My daily routine was work from 7 am until 3pm and then come home and do school work until about 9 pm. I also had school on Saturday and Sunday! YUCK! Well, I am done with those classes now and I am so glad to have my life back. I have missed having dinner with Brent and going to the gym. I am so out of shape from missing the gym for such a long period of time. But this week I have started back and it is kicking my butt, but I deserve it. P.S. I received A's in both of my classes. YAY!

Brent's Surprise Birthday Party

Papaw, Brent & Mamaw Brent's New Grill from Me Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream cake June 3, 2009 was Brent's 27th birthday. I decided this year we were going to do something for his birthday. Every year I ask him what he wants to do for his birthday and he says "It is just another day, I don't want to do anything." How boring. So this year I called all of his family and friends and put together a surprise party for him. Everyone was here when he go off work and he said he saw some cars placed throughout the neighborhood and he knew something was up. But he did not know the number of people in the house. He had a great time and we really enjoyed spending time with family and friends!

Happy Birthday Brent!

BIRTHDAY BOY!

Today is Brent's 27th Birthday! WOW!

How time flies! It is hard to believe we started dating at the age of 18 and 19. It seems like forever ago. I must say, he is the best fiance in the world. He spoils me rotten and treats me like a queen. If I want it, most of the time I get it. He surprises me all the time. Even though he had to work today, I hope he has a great birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRENT!!
