That's right! Since I last blogged we got married and enjoyed a wonderful week in Antigua for our honeymoon. I don't have many pics from the wedding yet but here are some pictures from our honeymoon!
We had the BEST time....just look at these views! We slept, we ate, we talked, we read, we relaxed, we prayed, we ate some more, we drank and just enjoyed every minute.
Enjoy!

A Houston Weddding
Last weekend we went to Houston for our friend, Lauren and Rand's wedding! I was actually given the honor of being in Lauren's house party so I was able to be apart of all the fun festivities!! My camera has broken...like won't turn on even with new batteries broken. SO I don't have ANY pictures but I stole some from facebook to show you at least something from the wedding.
Melissa had her camera and snapped a few...click here to see more.
Here you can see the happy couple :) and also the gorgeous white dance floor with their monogram!! loved it!

It's Vegas Baby
I just got back from an amazing weekend trip to Vegas for my bachelorette party! It was soooo much fun getting to spend time with 7 of my best friends.
Let's start with the view from our hotel room!! Unbelievable. We had the best view of the Bellagio fountains and since we stayed in the Bellagio, they had a channel on the tv that played the music that coordinated with the famous fountain show...it was incredible...
Thursday night we got into Vegas with Kent and Lindsey and had an amazing dinner at Mesa. Mesa is Bobby Flay's restaurant located in the Ceasar's Palace.
After dinner we went back to the Bellagio so Kent and David could play a little Craps...turned out they picked the right table because they both had huge success! David tripled is money...we were so happy we asked someone to take a picture :)
Friday, Caroline got into town early so we decided to go eat a yummy breakfast at Mon Ami Gabi at the Paris Hotel...such great food!! and we had an amazing view of the fountains and strip...
It was soo pretty outside we decided to lounge by the Bellagio pools. It was so nice to just get some sun, drink some champagne, and wait for the troops to arrive.
The biggest strawberry I've ever seen in the champange
All the girls arrived and got dressed up for dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. I'm sad because this was the one night we were with the guys and I didn't get a picture of the whole group...
All 16 of us(8 girls and 8 guys) went in style in a huge escalade stretch limo...best way to travel with 16 people for sure. They were planning the LOUDEST music with amazing bass so we of course had to dance our way to dinner!!
I'll have to post some pictures from dinner later because I didn't take any...but we had an amazing dinner at Pink Taco in the Hard Rock Hotel...SOO fun!
After dinner we split our ways from the guys and decided to take ANOTHER limo to XS at the Encore.
A picture I found online of XS...amazing. SO beautiful
Saturday the girls took a stroll through the main part of the hotels on the strip...It's amazing to see all the different designs and there was fun pretty fun window shopping too :)
We had a frozen hot chocholate at Serendipity 3 (also in NYC) - such a cute place!
The Italian blown glass ceiling in the Bellagio- so beautiful
Saturday night we had dinner at this amazing Italian food place in the Palazzo hotel called LAVO...soo yummy.
The Girls all dressed up
After dinner we went to TAO- because we heard Kim Kardashian was going to be there promoting her perfume...we got the VIP spot...literally the table right next to her. It was kinda silly but pretty cool to see a celebrity so close.
This picture is great because she is about to shake Hannah's hand
And what's a good bachelorette party without some good dares. It was NASCAR weekend in Vegas with races on Sunday so it was only right to get a picture in this guy's NASCAR jacket and holding his drink...nice.
I had the BEST WEEKEND ever!

Date Night
For the past month David and I have gone to work and immediately upon getting home from work have either:
1. worked on getting the wedding invitations in the mail- since we did the invitations our selves this was a full time job...and one that took a lot of time and effort
2. driven all over the State of Texas (and through Oklahoma and Kansas) for various reasons...
3. painting two rooms in our house- which took one whole week
and 4. moving non stop...
We have not had the time to just go on a date! SO we are taking the time tonight. We will not lift a box, hang a picture, lick an envelope, or whatever else has occupied our time...instead we will enjoy a nice dinner with some wine at the Tower Club- special to us because we are getting married there in 1 month and 9 days today.
Then we will go to the Dallas Symphony for the first time! We are really excited about experiencing some Dallas culture...
And just take a deep breath. So refreshing. So needed.

Snow and Moving
So in case you didn't hear- we had 12.5 inches of snow last Thursday in Dallas! It was an all time record high...which is pretty cool to witness.
Here are some pictures David got of our house and street with his iphone. A lot of people lost power for several days- we were lucky it was only for a couple hours at our new house.
We were lucky that the snow on the roads at least cleared enough for us to drive to Salina, Kansas to meet my parents with a moving truck full of furniture...
I didn't take any pictures of this joyous occasion...but it was SO nice to see both of them. We found the only non-chain restaurant in Salina and had a Valentine's dinner. Probably the cheapest steakhouse I've ever been to but we didn't complain. The food was great- at a great price.
We got up early Sunday and drove back to Dallas- well I followed David who was in the moving truck.
We started moving immediately upon getting back from Salina on Sunday with the help of our BEST FRIEND BILL!! Thank you Bill for your help!!
We are still moving...and probably will be for the next month, but it is SO exciting to start setting up our home together!
I will post pictures as soon as I get the rooms put together...which may not be until after the wedding!!
