more wedding

Here are some more pictures from the wedding I took on Scott's camera. Mine still won't let me get pictures off of it.

The lovebirds:

Lauren's dress was gorgeous. When we were dress shopping I told her that when she tried on THE dress, she would know it was THE dress. I was sort of kidding, but she knew when she tried this one on that it was the one. And she found it at the first dress shop. Talk about low maintenance! I went to like ten places.

Jonah zonked out and looked pretty comfortable....

The Russells were very supportive and came to the reception. Maybe it was just to see their favorite grandson...

And no, Lorie is very angelic, but that is not a halo around her head.

Jonah and his beautiful Aunt Kelli:

Jonah in his cute outfit. It kind of looks like leather, but don't worry, it's velvet...or probably velour:

Jonah was surprisingly well-behaved and we all had a great time. I can't wait to see their wedding video because Scott, Emma, and I were dancing towards the end and Emma was doing some Elaine-style dance moves but she didn't know the videographer was filming her. When she found out she was so embarrassed. I hope he puts it on the video.

Anyway, I love going to weddings no matter what anyone else says. They are always special and make me remember my wedding day and why I chose to marry Scott. This one was no exception.

my birthday present

So my birthday present was six months late, but definitely worth the wait. Scott gave me tickets to see Coldplay, and let me tell you, it was the best concert I have ever been to. Coldplay is my favorite band, so it was exciting anyway, but seriously. Can it get any better? Even Scott was impressed, and I have learned that he is very picky/critical about things like movies, music, food, etc. Even though it was at Energy Solutions, the sound was pretty good and Chris Martin was crazy. My favorite part was when they left the stage half-way through and went into the audience in the lower bowl and played "The Scientist" from the seats. Chris Martin played the harmonica and they used a mandoline and an acoustic guitar. It was so dang cool. I'm pretty sure I got chills. I know, I'm weird. They are so good live.

So here is another poor quality phone picture of us two at the concert. Thanks for the coolest present ever Scott!

a funny story

So sorry for the vacation I have taken from blogging. I have been somewhat uninspired lately. Anyway, I thought of a funny story that happened a few weeks ago that you may (or may not) enjoy.

Scott has always been really complimentary of me. He always tells me when he thinks I look nice or when he likes my dinners. He would never tell me that I looked ugly or fat, and honestly I don't think he would ever think that. He's just great. Sometimes he "helps" me if my mascara is all over my face or if my hair is messed up. A few weeks ago, we were headed to dinner at his parents' and I was freshening up. I decided I didn't like how my hair was done so I thought I'd fix it up in a side-pony. Keep in mind that I'm not a frequent wearer of the side-pony. I finished my freshening up and we got in the car to go to dinner. We were driving up the street when Scott looked over at me and said in a very soft and nice voice, "honey, I think your ponytail is favoring the left side of your head." I just thought it was funny how he tried to use the kindest words possible to tell me that my ponytail looked pretty horrible. I explained to him that it was supposed to favor the left side of my head because it was a side-pony. Needless to say, I probably won't be wearing the side-pony very often because I guess men don't understand the concept of the ponytail "favoring" one side of your head over the other. Just a warning to all you women out there.

double date

I have a love-hate relationship with bowling. On one hand, it's a fun activity and usually the people you go with aren't very good either, so it doesn't matter when you bowl a 55. On the other hand, it hurts my fingers, I can't aim very well so it's not surprising that I bowl 55s quite often, and the shoes are nasty. So we go anyway mostly because it's pretty fun.



We had a good time last Friday with my sister Lauren and her boyfriend (yeah, that is Brandon that you see there. Weird huh? I went to high school with that kid!). We got some yummy sandwiches, soups, and salads at Paradise and then hit up Orchard Bowl. I think Lauren won one game and Scott won the other, but of course it doesn't matter what my score was. I didn't get any good action shots, but here are some pictures of the happy couples.

Um, yeah, I've gained weight. So what?

Brandon is so excited to be there!

So the night wasn't awkward at all until about thirty minutes into it when Scott asked Lauren if she was excited to be an aunt. She, of course, said "Yeah!" And then, yes then, Scott asked Brandon if he was excited to be an uncle. I about fell out of my chair and I couldn't figure out if Brandon was embarrased or mad. I don't think he was mad, but I felt bad for him. Scott says he just has to give him a hard time, which is understandable because he got a lot of crap while we were dating. I feel bad for my four sisters who are going to have to go through this everytime they seriously date someone. It definitely makes things interesting!
