It's funny because even though I'm supposed to have a ton of free time in the summer, I find it difficult to update our blog. So here's my chance to update what's been going on so far. Not too many pictures, but we're plenty busy. Of course we're still continuing to plan for our wedding, which is less than 2 weeks away now!

My wonderful future husband and me.

Almost all of my bridesmaids and me. We missed Michelle, but can't wait to see her very soon :)

My best friend and I. So glad she was able to make it out. A mommy of three is very busy!

My sister and her not-pictured husband threw Brian and me an awesome bachelor/bachelorette party. We had such a great time and were so glad to see all of our friends together.

This cracked me up. We played pin the tail on Brian. Laura is trying to pin my head onto the Brian poster, but Brian thought he'd jump in there for fun. It was hilarious! I'm still not sure if she knew he was standing there...

Impromptu Beach Go-ers

My sister and I had trouble trying to figure out what we were going to make for dinner on Tuesday night. Brian and I went to get our marriage license and then got dinner at Long John Silver's (so good, but so bad!!). Just as we got our food Heather called to see if we wanted to bring sandwiches to the beach. If only she had called 5 minutes earlier! So, Brian and I ate our dinner and joined Heather and the girls at the beach. What a beautiful afternoon/evening it was!

Yes, Brian is in his work shirt. He just got off of work and we weren't prepared to go to the beach!

Heather, Joss, and Gaby looking for coquinas. Okay, well Joss and Gaby looking for coquinas. Heather, looking at me.

Allie taking a break from the water to snack.

Brian helping Joss build a huge sand castle.

Brian and Joci's tunnel.

Bridal Shower

My beautiful sister and best friend threw me the greatest bridal shower ever! Thanks ladies, I love you both so much! We had such a great time, with all the good food, games, friends, and family. No pics of Michelle, she was too busy taking these pictures :)
Heather and mom explaining the toilet paper wedding dress game.

Best college buds, Michelle and Kentlee. They made it down from Tampa and St. Pete. What a special day! There's Kentlee, always eating. He he!!

Me and the toilet paper wedding dress contestants. And the winner is...

... Laura's group! I loved it because it as very "trendy". As trendy as a toilet paper wedding dress can be.

Me and my beautiful bouquet of ribbons and bows.

Our "kids"

These two pictures are of Mako sleeping in his crate. He looks really comfortable! Look at the second picture of his tongue and mouth. His tongue is sticking out just a little bit. So cute!

Here's my favorite picture of "big man" Fabian. Brian took this and I absolutely love it. I think he looks like an old man. He's got a lot of years and knowledge in those eyes.

Random May Pics

Fabian and Mako playing tug of war together. They only started playing like this recently. Look how evil mako looks!

Brian giving the dogs a treat. We're trying to teach Mako to sit and wait for it patiently. Yeah, he's still a work in progress.

Brian and I working on putting together our wedding favors. Almost done :)

Our weekend fishing trip to Marco. Okay, it's not a huge fish, but it's better than catching catfish, which is what I was catching on our last trip. I had a really big fish, but it got away from me. I never saw it, but I certainly had the hardest time reeling it in. Some might say giant mystery fish, others might say rock...

Surprise Bridal Shower

My wonderful friends and co-workers through me (and my friend Fatima) a suprise bridal shower at work. It was such a sweet gesture and a huge surprise when my mom and sister were there! This cake isn't from my shower, but it was meant for me :) Thanks Kathy!! Isn't it gorgeous?!

Heather and my mom surprised me even more by showing up at my surprise bridal shower at work!

Me and Fatima at our joint surprise bridal shower. Yeah Fat!!
