My hands are holding you...

Robbie and Emily are married!!!!

Robbie is one of Andrew's buddies from E-2


We are so happy for the Jordan's! They are an amazingly wonderful couple.

The wedding was at a church in Bryan and the reception was under a tent at this amazing pecan grove in Caldwell. Everything was beautiful!


Here they come!


Their first dance was to By Your Side by Tenth Avenue North. I LOVE that song!! If you haven't heard it before, google it.


Here's one of my bf's, Lindsay Durr. She lives in North Carolina and I miss her.


This is James Mulvey. He's my dancing partner at most weddings. Ladies, he's single and amazing so act fast!!!!


And now for the beautiful bride and groom!!! and no...Andrew and I did not plan to match. I didn't even realize what tie he brought until we got to Bryan.

Chasing the Cheese

So a few of the couples from our weekly bible study decided to do something a little different....we went to the racetrack!!!



I have never been before and didn't know what to expect. I pictured fancy people cheering on their horses with passion! I kinda wished I could have worn my peacock hat from my bridal brunch but decided against it. Luckily I didn't. I guessed wrong. Most of the people there sat inside and just watched on the tv....almost like they were watching some boring sitcom. Passion and cheering was no where to be found. Well, except for us!!




We bet big and usually bet about $2 a race.


Danielle won the first race!



We got really serious when we found out you got place a 10¢ bet on guessing the first 4 places in a race.



Andrew and Trevor won the last race that everyone was there for (Andrew and I stayed behind for one more). Trevor was holding up a "5" in celebration of horse number 5 winning....Andrew thought he wanted a hand shake of some sort.



So they tried again...


Yay for fun times in Houston!

Prunes Wrapped in Bacon

So this past Thursday instead of starting our new book for bible study we had a basketball/eating party at our place. Whoop! It was pretty fun. My dad was here and grilled a bunch of stuff including prunes wrapped in bacon...don't knock til you try it!!

Here's the lovely group!

My Dad and then Andrew.



Trevor making "boat drinks" and the boys waiting to drink them. This is also when I called Trevor, Travis.



Listening to the "Colby Thomas Band". Look them (?) up on myspace.

It was quite a lovely evening....except for the dishes. I hate doing dishes...

Hai Hai

So I'm not very good at keeping this regular...but at least I'm better than I was before!!

So what have I been up to? Well...should I give it all in one post or split it up a bit?


I'll split it up..

So about a week ago my dear old friend Hailey got married! Hailey was one of my roommates sophomore year of college.

This is her amazing dog Brody...he's ginormous!!



He was at her lingerie/bachelorette slumber party. We had dinner at a wine bar, saw Sex & the City 2, and then on to Hailey's parent's house for snacks, presents, and karaoke.

Here's the Bride & Groom!!



and of course the Aggie War Hymn




Hailey and me before they left!



I am sooo happy for the two of them! They are living in Katy. I hope they can come have a little married couples BBQ at our place sometime. Being married is pretty cool.

Catch up...

So I thought I was going to be better with this thing!!

A lot has happened since I last posted. We had visitors, a car was totaled, I went to Atlanta and I started a new job! Lets get started!

Ms. Ann (the bf's mom), Nanny (Ms. Ann's bf), My mom, Rachel (the bf) and Evan (the bf's husband) alllll came to help me decorate our new home! I am so blessed to have such great friends!!









It still has some work (art on the wall, shelves need to be installed, and there's stuff laying around). Aren't they awesome?!?!

Well the first night of that awesome weekend just my mom, Nanny, and Ms. Ann were there. Before I went to bed I told my mom that I set the house alarm so that if she opened the door she would have time to turn it off. Well, at about 3:15ish that morning I hear my mom open the door and I can hear her talking to someone. I'm thinking "what in the world is going on?". I tell my mom to put in the code before the alarm goes off and she says "Meredith! Someone hit my car!!".

uh oh...

Well I go outside and this is what I see...



Hmm..how did that happen because my Mom's right side of the car was along the curb...AND Nanny's car was right behind my mom's and didn't have a scratch on it...then I see this...



Do you see that faint line in the grass? Those are tired tracks. yes. She drove on the side walk in front of my house, missed Nanny's car, took out my mom's, and finally...

(picture taken once the sun came up)

My poor mom!! She got this car for her 50th birthday maybe 8 months ago? can't remember!

It was a long night! We are greatful no one got hurt and are praying for an easy process with the insurance companies!
