hippity hoppity - a weekend of fun

jesus is coming and he's going to bring me dr. pepper and candy! i've been texting with emma for the past half hour about exactly what kind of soda and candy we'll be having at the stroke of midnight, thus ending our lent-icular challenge! wooohoooooooo!!!

honestly, i didn't think i was going to make it through this one without cracking. i'm actually feeling some pride here. you know? veronica and emma are advising me as to which kind of dr. pepper i should drink. i have a chick-o-stick waiting for me in the cabinet. this will probably end in a bellyache and some rolling around on the couch, but i don't care. and you know what else? it hasn't even been as difficult as i thought it was going to be. it even made me give up fast food, for the most part. we've started eating healthier in general. overall, i would recommend the experience to everyone, but that doesn't mean i'm not gonna stick some sugar in my face in a few minutes.

oh, and the wedding was really fun. jason and alicia were completely adorable, not to mention the most sedate bride and groom newlyweds ever. this wedding was even more void of stress than the zoo extravaganza thrown by ed and rhiannon. my bridesmaid dress is totally wearable for other occasions. the rehearsal dinner was a laid back event where i got to eat queso with two little girls and watch the happy couple doing the macarena with a live mariachi band in the background, cause my family rolls all cheesefest like that. my new necklace from alicia is stunning. the special red lipstick i bought for the hoo-ha turned out to be the perfect color. i didn't even fall down or get food in my boobs at the reception. and everybody got to eat and drink and have a good time, including the two of them. not bad for a wedding, huh? they were so gracious that i didn't even run away to the bathroom when the wedding party was forced into doing the electric slide out the on the dance floor. nick and chris were there for the occasion, sitting with derek as the nerd patrol. chris says he's posting all kinds of photos online later, so you can see my whoop-de-doo dress. we already sent vee a photo and she almost cried because she said i looked so pretty. i just hope nick didn't get too much video of that whole electric slide incident. let's just say choreography isn't my strong suit.

and here's a fun fact for you - have you ever been to a wedding without men on the front row of the audience? i have. okay, so there was a tiny little ring bearer rolling around, but he was the only one. just imagine the benches filled with flower girls, mothers, and grandmas. that was the scene today, which i thought was pretty interesting. so we all stood up there looking posh through the ceremony, and some little baby was kind enough to make a giant raspberry farting noise right at the end of it, just when everything got quiet. ah yes, perfect ending to a wedding, one that even made the minister have to hold in laughter while the rest of us in the wedding party stood up there trying not to bust loose into giggles... unsuccessfully, i might add. it's a good thing the ladies had little bouquets to bury our faces in at the time. men, you're on your own.

oh wow. the bells are starting to ring outside. it must be time for me to make that quiktrip run and get my sodie pops. eee!


what my siblings seem to have in common:
we all enjoy, or rather, are completely and inexplicably fascinated by taking pictures of our feet... of other people's feet... of all kinds of shoes... of groups of people, only from the ankle down. what i wanna know is, just who gave this habit to whom in this family?
