Going To The Chapel...


Two Saturdays ago I threw my friend Erin a bachelorette party and we went out to Novi and hit a few of the bars. We went to Carraba's for dinner-amaze balls. I made all the girls little goody bags and whipped up a cake for the bride to be.



And this Saturday I was one of the (maids) Matron of Honor at Erin's wedding.

I have known Erin since our junior year. We spent just about every weekend together. We were the life (lives) of the party. I have so many great memories with her. There was never a dull moment, that's for sure. And I have known her {now} husband Brent since 7th grade. 

Don't judge the pictures-of-a-picture. Some of these were before digital cameras. 
And don't judge my newly-wed grandma couch. 



Erin and I senior year.  

I believe it was our Junior year (before Brent and Erin were together) when Erin and I "bought" Brent and his friend at the Student Auction. We made the boys wear collars all day and do some pretty embarrassing things. Brent was quite the Mr. popular in high school. Once the two of them finally got together Erin and I would always joke that she was dating THE Brent C-----. 
And now she is married to THE Brent C---- and she is THE Mrs. C----

We have all had some pretty good times together!

These two are such a cute couple, and are so in-love. You can't help but smile and have a good time when you're around them.



Erin was, of course, stunning. 
The ceremony was perfect. Watching tear up Brent as Erin was getting ready to walk down the aisle was the cutest thing I have ever seen. Brent wrote most of the ceremony and we all listened as the minister told their love story. It was so sweet,  I'm sure everyone was a little choked up.
The reception was gorgeous, and the food was ah-ma-zing. Filet of beef and salmon; don't mind if I do! 
During their reception they all surprised us when half way through their first dance {Edwin McCain's "I'll Be"} and half way through broke out into a choreographed dance to Michael Jackon's "The Way You Make Me Feel". If blogger wasn't being stupid I would upload the video.

We had a blast at the wedding and I am so honored that the let me be a part of their big day. 
Here's to the next 50+ years!!

What's Been Goin On

Monday I went over to my SILs house to take some pictures of little Miss E. I guess these would technically be her 18 month pics. 
EIGHTEEN MONTHS.
1.5 YEARS.
WHAT?!?
I still can't believe how this happened but she cracks me up every day. I love her little personality.
And even her strong will!




She took a little tumble off the stairs and hit her head and was telling me all about it. 
It's definitely very interesting trying to get an 18 month old to sit where you want her to sit and do what you want her to do during pictures-or any time for that matter. Or maybe that's just my 18 month old!!

I was FINALLY able to get all the crap off my stove this week. I had tried actual oven cleaner when we first moved in, but that didn't even work so I figured it was caked on forever from the A-holes that lived here before us!

Beware, it was terrible before. But don't judge me we just moved in. 3 years ago. 
I feel like we got a new stove. I am so proud of myself. I keep asking Mike "Did you see my stove, look what I did" He asked me if I wanted a cookie and I told him yes, I actually do!!

Elli has become o.b.s.e.s.s.e.d. with this doll. She carries her everywhere, knows to go get her when you say "where's your doll". She carries her around and pats her back, she rocks her, she feeds her, she rocks her in the swing, and she buckles her into the car seat. She is such a little mama, It melts my heart!!



I am planning a bachelorette party for my friend this weekend, any one have any fun ideas? Dinner and the bar(s) have already been picked out, but I just want to make sure this is a night she'll never forget...or never remember!!
