Two Weddings, Moving Day, and A Bachelorette Party!

It has been over a month since my last blog but let me tell you, It has been eventful!


My maid of honor, Tiffany, got married the first weekend of this month.

Mr. & Mrs. McCalip

 I had to steal this pic from facebook. I didn't have my phone or camera during the reception and Sam's phone takes terrible pictures. I will have to be better about bringing my camera.
Anyways... It was a beautiful wedding and I'm so glad I got to be a part of it! I was so happy to see one of my best friends marry the love of her life!



A few weekends later we all gathered in Dallas for my bachelorette party while the guys went to Shreveport for Sam's bachelor party.

Me with my presents!

We layed out during the day, had a lingerie shower, ate dinner at Mi Cocina, and went to Pete's Piano Bar! It was a BLAST! If you have never been to Pete's before you absolutely MUST go! They play awesome music and you get to sing at the top of your lungs, no matter how awful you may sing! They also LOVE to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and of course bachelorette parties. It is a very interactive show, you are asked to sing certain parts of the song, come on stage, or anything else crazy that they can come up with. I was one of those lucky few that got pulled on stage (since I was a bachelorette of course). They had us do dance moves that everyone had to follow along, the piano player made up funny lyrics that went with each of our names, and at one point I was wearing an afro-mullet wig... It was non-stop laughs. While we were busy living it up, DIRK showed up! I guess he didn't want to crash my party because he stayed backstage and we never even knew he was there until after we left. But it was kinda neat that we were in the same place as him! The next morning I was feeling unusually well considering the night we had. We ate at a delicious place near the galleria called Paradise Bakery.


Sometime between Tiffany's wedding and the bachelorette party, we found time to move into our new apartment. We upgraded from a one bedroom to a two bedroom! We are really enjoying the extra space. The apartment community has everything we could ever imagine. There are bike trails behind the complex that run along the Trinity River, Yoga classes, a putting green, indoor basketball court, and two amazing pools. We are going to have to find some more time for all of these activities. So far we are loving it. The only thing that is missing is our dog, Bevo. He has been staying with Sam's mom while we moved until after our Honeymoon. And speaking of our honeymoon....

End of the night

These are a few of the pics that people at the wedding took. I am going to do a WHOLE post about the wedding when I get some more pics back to fill the blog world in on all the details. Let me just tell you I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. Everything for the most part went great. All of my vendors were AMAZING. I will definitely give them their credit in my wedding post. Hopefully that will be soon. In the mean time, I have a honeymoon to think about!! I am very excited... we are leaving Thursday to go on a cruise. It is going to be a much needed break. I have spent the past two days shopping for the cruise, now all that's left is packing!

As you can see it's not going too well.... I have some serious work to do!

Look forward to a full report in about a week on our honeymoon cruise!!!!!
