Bachelor/Bachelorette and Engagement Pics!!!


We had our bachelor/bachelorette party this weekend. We rented a 24 person stretch SUV limo and drove around and went out downtown. I broke my camera so I don't have many pics and I also lost my phone, so send me your phone numbers!!!!


Benny and AJ~I went to kindergarten with them.

Me and my maid of honor, Casey

The girls!



Our photographer came down this past weekend and we took engagement pics. Yes, we are sitting in a baseball dugout and I'm wearing a Reds jersey. Anyways, I'll get more and post them soon. They turned out really, really good. I will post more soon.

Wedding Shower #1

Me and Casey's mom, Karen









I had my first wedding shower today and it was so much fun. It was fall themed with chocolate treats, and lots of people from Casey's family, my two aunts, my cousin, and then Travis's nana, mom, and cousin Lucy came. It was really a great turnout and we got lots of goodies. Now I just have to learn how to cook...

My mom is alive!

Ok, well where to begin. My mom's alive. After 15 years she's decided it's time to come out of the shadows, yet again, and try to contact me. This time it's not as easy to find me, seeing as how her only contact is my grandmother that I haven't spoken to in over 5 years. Apparently, my mom called my grandma (her mom) on Monday. She's currently living in New Mexico, with a woman she met in prison. Yep, that's right. You can't even make up a story this good. She told my grandma she was in a car accident two years ago and no longer has the use of her right arm, she's had two surgeries and still needs one more. I'm thinking that's probably why she called, she wants money. She has to want something. It's just too weird. If she googled me, my facebook would pop up saying that I was engaged to Travis, which I changed my settings so that won't happen, I didn't realize that happened. Well then she could have googled Travis, and I'm thinking that's what it is. Now I'm just afraid she'll show up here or at the wedding. Anyways, I just needed to vent and try to deal with this. My aunt has her phone number and I don't know what to do with it. I'm not doing anything until after the wedding. I don't know that I want to speak to her, I have some questions, but I think other people could ask her those for me. I don't know what to say to her. Help! Thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank goodness Travis is by my side through all of this. Casey's mom said that God works in mysterious ways and sometimes has a sick sense of humor, I agree, but he also knows that I probably couldn't have handled this information before now. My life is on track and couldn't be better and I get this, but I can handle it. I have the most amazing future husband (not too far away!!!), friends, and family (not all are legally related, but they completely count) I could ask for and I am so thankful to have all of them by my side during this.
