Bubbles, Bubbles, Bubbles, and more Bubbles

I got to help design this. It will be out at the church and then we will put it up in our house afterward. I LOVE it! I used http://www.defineyourspacevinyl.com/ and highly recommend the website!

This one is for my parents. This is their gift for all they did for the wedding!

Extra bubbles that didn't fit in the first basket

Tonight Mom, Kristi, and Sis came over to work on bubbles. Boy, did we ever have a lot of bows to tie on all of those bubbles. We are all now bow experts! The ribbon has our names and wedding date.

Here's Your Sign

My friend, Chaundra, is very crafty! She volunteered to help with the wedding, so I put her to work. I did a good job talking, while she did the creating. Excellent job! They look great! Thanks so much, Chaundra!

The baskets for Ashlyn and Emily

Pillows for Kamden and Kason - I wanted them to be simple and go with the baskets, so we just added the little flowers.

Here's our sign! Yep, fresh after seeing Bill Engvall our sign arrived. I love, love, love it! I got to make it at http://www.buildasign.com/ and highly recommend the website! I think it's perfect! We're going to use it at the rehearsal dinner and then it'll be up at the reception.

Change of Plans

Well, we've had a slight change of plans! Yesterday Andrew got a call from Halliburton and instead of starting on July 19th, they want him July 1st!! It was wait, wait, wait for so long. Now it's throw everything in high gear and hurry up! He will be moving to Hobbs on June 26 or 27. I think it will wind up being for the best. He will be able to start the job and have all of that part over with before our wedding and honeymoon. It's all just around the corner now!

Halliburton

Well, this has been quite an eventful day! So far today Andrew and I finished our last session of premarital counseling, got our marriage license, and he got a job at Halliburton! We had our premarital counseling session at 8:30 and then drove over to Lovington to get our marriage license. After we finished at the courthouse we went to The Lazy Six to eat. While we were sitting there we got the phone call we have been waiting on for awhile! Halliburton called to ask if Andrew could come meet with them at 1:30. Andrew was gone for a little over an hour and a half and came back with papers in hand! He starts on July 19th! We get back from our honeymoon on the 16th and then we will go to Odessa for the week for him to do an orientation there! I am sooo proud of him! We couldn't be happier!

We have a marriage license!

We got our marriage license this morning in Lovington!

Me signing my life away:).

Andrew and I got home from Odessa and enjoyed going through our gifts. We are so excited to get to use everything!

Ahhhh...the cash! We will be saving it for our honeymoon!

Me with Mercades at the shower in Odessa. She was a fantastic junior hostess. She took care of serving everyone their cake!

The wonderful hostesses in Odessa. This is Sara, Mara, and Mona. Micki and Karen weren't able to make it. Everything was wonderful!

My Hobbs crew made their way over to Odessa.

We had an exciting morning! Today we finished our final session of premarital counseling and apparently we have passed:). We got to also discuss the final details of the ceremony with Billy and we think everything is going to be wonderful! After counseling we headed over to Lovington to the courthouse to get our marriage license. Then we had a delicious lunch at Lazy Six to celebrate. Yum! What a morning:)!

Odessa Shower

Today Andrew, Mom, Kristi, Sis, Janet, and I headed over to Odessa for a shower with Andrew's family. What a great shower! We had such a terrific time. We loved the games that were planned! We got some wonderful gifts that we are so excited to use. We also got a money tree we will be planting and fertilizing often! A very special thanks to the wonderful hostesses: Mona, Sarah, Mary, Karen, and Micki!

Hobbs Shower

I know it's hard to see, but this is the grill we got! We will have lots of fun entertaining with this!

After the shower we went back to my house and played the Wii Fit for a little while. This is Kari trying to hit the soccer balls with her head!

What a great weekend! Kari and Jennifer got here on Friday. I got to go see Sex and the City with my girls! It was fun! Then on Saturday we got up and got ready for my bridal shower. Andrew's mom and granny came over early to go to lunch with Kari, Jennifer, and me. Then we all headed over to the shower at Holly's house. What great family and friends I have! They made me feel so special! We had such a good time and got some wonderful gifts. I can't wait to show everything to Andrew. Saturday night Elizabeth, Kari, Jennifer, and I headed to A Taste of Italy. It was delicious! Then, we headed to see "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change." It was at the Hobbs Playhouse and our talented friend Summer Robinson was in it. It was great!
We all stayed up late talking and laughing. Unfortunately, Kari and Jennifer headed home on Sunday. However, I wasn't done partying yet! I got to go to Kamden and Kason's kid birthday party at the pool. Shara came over with her crew and we had such a good time swimming. I even made her go down the big water slide with me! What a GREAT weekend! Tomorrow I'm headed over to Odessa to get my dress altered!
