I have finally talked to everyone in my bridal party. It was very difficult for me and putting it off wasn't the smartest thing I have ever done. My bridal party is as follows:
Jessica is my matron honor. Jessica is my little mommy and is my one and only sister. I can not imagine my life without her. She has given me advice my whole life (whether I wanted it or not). I would not want anyone other than Jessica to stand next to me as I marry the man I love.
Elissa is my maid of honor. I have grown up with Elissa and cant imagine my life without her. We are two days apart and just like our sisters, Erin and Jessica, Elissa and I are cousernal twins. Elissa and I can talk about anything and know that we will love each other just the same. Some of my favorite memories with Elissa is our many Christmas plays or our umbrella homes or how could I forget our rocks for sale! Elissa and I have way to many memories to write or to even grasp our friendship. We are family but above that we are best friends.
Next we have my bridesmaids- my college friends- my college life would have been non-existent without them- and really this wedding wouldn't even be happening without one of them. I have 3 more bridesmaids and 4 in my house party. My house party, however, is just like a bridesmaid to me. I love every single girl more than life and don't know what I would do without any of them.
First we have Lauren- she was the first person I met when I started Rush in 2005. We sat next to each other and my big mouth was already trash talking different sororities. I knew from the beginning though that we would have the same taste- she was way to cute to want a bad sorority : ) As time progressed we lived in the sorority house together and I convinced her to try out for Aggie Angels with me. We both loved basketball and thought this would be so much fun! So we did Aggie Angels together and became closer than ever. Lauren is such a kind hearted person and such a good friend. We have had many memories and I am sure as she continues school in Dallas to become a dentist and I become a wife and teacher we will have many more wonderful memories! (Sorry Lauren- I just had to add the first picture)
Next we have Megan- I cant remember the first time I met her but I cant remember life without her. Megan and I also became friends during our time in the sorority house. But my favorite memories of Megan and I were this past summer while everyone was away on their fun summers and we were stuck in summer school. We spent every moment together. I will always cherish that summer and all of our times together.
Next we have Kimberly, AKA- K-Slice. Kimberly has been there through thick and thin and is probably the only one I can honestly say I have never fought with. Kimberly puts everyone before herself. Kimberly has been there for me and listened to me cry, let me cuddle with her and sometimes she even let me eat in her bed. And if you know slice, you know that doesn't happen! Kimberly has been the one to send me 8 million emails a day discussing wedding plans and giving me ideas. She is the only one who has put up with me talking wedding 24/7. Life just wouldn't be the same without K-Slice!
Next we have Jordan. I first met Jordan through Chelsea. My first memory of us is talking about her new puppy and I was so jealous. Little did I know, Max would be such a large part of my life, or for that matter, Jordan would be. Jordan didn't live in the sorority house and at first she didn't live on our street but that doesn't mean Jordan wasn't always with us! After our Junior Year she turned 21 and took us all to Disney World and it was the most fun I have ever had on a vacation!Senior year she moved onto our street and things were never the same. She is currently living in Florida and life without her is sooo...quiet. : ) Hopefully I will see her soon.
Next we have Chelsea- This wedding wouldn't even be happening without Chelsea. I first met Chelsea when we moved into the sorority house. I decided I wanted to be friends with her because she was soo pretty getting ready in our bathroom. Our whole sophomore year we were inseparable. She came with me to all of Justin and I first dates. I couldn't go alone. I needed her. Junior year we moved into our house and had so much fun living together for the rest of our college career. We have so many memories in that house it is crazy to think about!! Granted by the end we fought and loved each other like sisters, because that is what we became. We are sisters. I had to put up the second picture because that is the night of Ragan and Brads Graduation Party! : )
Lastly but certainly not least, we have Pamela and Colleen. Little did I know that a little over a year ago I would meet these two girls who would make such a difference in my life. I met Colleen through one of our education classes and by the end of the semester I had become a bridesmaid in her wedding. Pamela moved here shortly and my rude and witty comments made us become friends almost immediately. I wouldn't have little Pip without Colleen and Pamela. They both have done so much for me and I love them both more than words!
Hopefully the next 6 months will fly by and the wedding will be here before we all know it! I can hardly wait!! All I do every day is school all day, come home and try to do wedding stuff then repeat. YEAH! WE ARE GETTING MARRIED!!!
2. We have a photographer and a videographer! 4 Sale By Photo is doing it!! We booked them tonight! I am super excited!
What to do about Alice. It was cute. It was about Theodore Roosevelt daughter. It was another good one. It was the first one I have read that was a fiction picture book I enjoyed and would read again. One of the things it said, I believe a lot of fathers feel like this about their daughters. It is said that Theodore said, "I can be the President of the United States and control Alice, but simply can NOT do both!"
Pale Male: Citizen Hawk of New York City (not very good- story was ok pictures werent that great), 
Frogs This one was great- its a non-fiction with real photos and information on all different types of frogs, I can see little boys LOVING this book!!!
and lastly I read Maybelle in the Soup-this book was about a cockroach and her friend the flea who want to eat people food on a plate not on the floor as left overs. It was cute but Frogs was my favorite. 
I also checked out The Penderwicks on Gardam Street but it is a longer chapter book so it might take me a day or two.
Also, I took one photo of the actual invitation but since it has personal info and info about where it is and time and etc. I figured I should be safe and not post that so if you would like to see what they are looking like...email me and I will send it too you! : )
After we got the shoes we still had a few minutes to waste before we headed downtown to meet a photographer so we ran into Michaels and picked up the candy scoops for the candy bar and the bags that the guest will use to place their candy in. I got 4 sets of white, orange and red bags. On the red and orange bags I will be embossing a stamp that says, "We love, because he loved us first. 1st John 4:19" And on the white bags I am going to stencil a pretty K on them in orange and red paint : ) Now I just need to go get the jars for the candy and the candy.
I hope everyone has an amazing VALENTINES DAY! 
And of course...this one was one of everyones favorite....
