The Beginning

So much happened over the wedding week that it's too much for one post. Today I'll tell you about Wednesday & Thursday.

Wednesday we left KS by 6:45 am to drive down to TX. Our doctor told us to stop at least every 2 hours for me to get out of the car and walk for just a few minutes to keep the circulation going. Mike followed her orders to a T and we made 4 stops on the trip down. Luckily it still only took us 7 hours to make the drive! When we arrived, Mom and I headed to Babies 'R' Us and Mike went to get Tyler & Ann's wedding present (I can't tell you what it is since we didn't see Tyler much and haven't have a chance to give it to him yet!)

Wednesday evening Paula had us stop by her clinic to get one last peek at the baby before he's born. Everything still looks good (and yes...he's still a boy). After the sonogram we had dinner with Dad, Mom, Caleb, & Audria.

Thursday morning Audria, Mom, and I went to Lela's house so she could fit me for my bridesmaid dress. Audria and I spent the rest of the day getting things ready for Ann's lingerie shower and bachelorette party. The shower went really well. You can see Ann in the picture below with her new wardrobe. She's holding spray cheese that Tyler gave her. I won't elaborate on the cheese ;)

After the lingerie shower, the girls headed to Johnny Carino's for a good Italian dinner. It was fun getting to know Ann's friends and family. Three of her cousins went along with us for the dinner party. Audria decided that Ann needed to have a little spice added to the dinner...so she bought a "Miss Bachelorette" sash for Ann to wear along with a candy necklace. She told Ann that she needed to have people eat the candy off the necklace! After having our waiter and the bartenders eat some candy...two of her cousins offered to help get rid of the candy.

After dinner we all headed home to get some sleep. We would need it because Friday was another very busy day! (Oh...Thursday night I also FINALLY got to see Tyler...even if it was only for a few minutes before we went to bed!)
