Weekend Re-cap

This past weekend was extremely busy. It was a fun and eventful kind of busy, but still busy nonetheless. Here's a rundown of my Saturday, I had a bridal shower and TWO weddings! My day started out with a bridal shower in Lamesa for my sweet friend Leslie. Leslie and I have been friends since early elementary school and it was great to see several of my old friends and their babies. Here's a pic of Les with her awesome food set-up. Check out that cake, so pretty!

Then after the shower I had lunch with my Memaw and then it was time for me to get ready for the weddings. The first wedding was at 4:00 in Tahoka (convenient since my 2nd wedding was in Lubbock at 6:30!) My best friend Eric's old roommate/Marine buddy was the one who got married. Unfortunately the groom is getting deployed to Iraq in about a week and a half, and he and his fiancee wanted to get married before he was deployed.

The wedding was really pretty and at the end of the ceremony all the Marines not already in the wedding held up their swords for the bride and groom to walk under. As the bride and groom approached the last set of Marines, they crossed their swords and kept them from passing. The bride had a puzzled look on her face wondering why they wouldn't let them pass, then a Marine they had already passed leans forward and tells the bride, "Welcome to the Marine Corp family Mrs. Lucas" and then proceeds to slap her behind with his sword. The sword made a loud "whop" and the whole church began laughing. Here's the bride and groom right before she was properly welcomed into the Marine family!

And here is Eric and I all dressed up!

The second wedding I went to was for my dear friend Geleah. Geleah and I have been friends since my sophomore year at Tech. Geleah also stayed in Lubbock after graduation and she's been my concert buddy to many, many concerts. Her wedding was super laid back and lots of fun. We had delicious barbecue and Tyler T and his band provided the music. I got to see several girls I hadn't seen since college and we had lots of fun dancing just like we did in the old days haha! Unfortunately my camera battery died so I didn't get any pictures at Geleah's wedding. So on that note, I decided to post a picture courtesy of Geleah's Facebook! Here's my sweet Geleah and her husband Chris a.k.a Beanie.

After dancing with my old friends at Geleah's reception, I then headed over to the reception of the 4:00 wedding (don't worry I didn't drive back to Tahoka, the reception was in Lubbock!) for more dancing with Marines and their wives/girlfriends! After the night was finally over, which didn't end till the wee hours of the morning, I felt like Katherine Heigl in 27 Dresses! Whew, how's that for a Saturday? :)

Weirdest dream ever??

So here lately I've been having some really odd dreams. I mean really odd. A few weeks ago I was feeling nostalgic and looked through my high school yearbook from my sophomore year. I was looking at pictures of me and my friends in our band uniforms (lame I know!) among other pictures as well. Well that night I had a dream that I was back in high school and my ex's Dad was my new band director. I was in band again and freaking out because I didn't remember how to play my clarinet or march. What's even weirder is my ex's Dad is a retired chemistry professor and has never directed a band in his life...that I know of! :)





Then last night I had a dream reminscient of Freaky Friday. Apparently I switched bodies with Steve Nash. Yeah that Steve Nash. Now if you aren't sure who Steve Nash is, he's the point guard for the Phoenix Suns. In my dream I was in a gym, notice I said gym...not an arena! We were warming up and I came to the realization that I was going to let my team down since I obviously don't have the same athletic abilities as those of Steve Nash! Then thinking that this might just be some charity game or something like that, I mean it was in a gym a lot like my high school gym, the opposing team walks out.....the L.A. Lakers.


I normally don't remember my dreams at all, but for some reason both of these were extremely vivid! Now why I dreamed I was Steve Nash is beyond me, I didn't watch TV last night at all and I read New Moon from the time I got home from work till I went to bed. Oh, and Steve Nash doesn't make a special guest appearance in New Moon either. I think I'm losing my mind! haha
