Remember these cute love birds? They tied the knot a while back. Rusty and Amanda planned a perfectly sweet and simple wedding in Rusty's home church outside of town. (Am I the only person who used to watch the Statler Brothers show on Saturday nights when I'd spend the night with grandma and grandpa? They had this section of the show where they played the piano and sang gospel songs. One of the songs they sang was "The Little Brown Church in the Vale". I always get that song stuck in my head when I think about Rusty's church...even though his church isn't brown....it's white....but I digress.)
ANYWAY - it was a great wedding to be a part of. Amanda and Rusty are just so in love and were giddy with excitement on their big day. They are both so super sweet and we couldn't be happier for them!
This past weekend was an exciting one for us. First of all, it was Arkalalah, and though I wasn't 100% in the Arkalalah spirit this year, I still had a good time and still ate my weight in fatty Arkalalah cuisine. Wednesday night, I headed downtown with my pal Heather to eat and watch the night parade. Friday, I went on my traditional Jeffy Pup and Pickle-O run with Kayla. That night, we went and ate pizza and ice cream with our good friends Tarl and Joy. Saturday, was parade day. Dac and I chowed down at the pancake feed, then met up with Tarl, Joy, John and Anna (more good friends) for street games and the parade. Of course, I had to have a funnel cake for that. When we left the parade, I felt horrible. I mean truly miserable...but there was still more eating to be done. We had chili and I had made snack mix, cake balls, and brownies for snacks! Yikes! The next morning, we (of course) had donuts. Needless to say a diet has begun! =) We had a great time with friends though. It's such an interesting group. There's so many differences, so many similarities, and everyone gets along fabulously! Unfortunately, I didn't take a single picture. =( We're planning a New Years extravaganza though, so I'll be sure to get pictures of that.
Sunday, we went to WICKED and LOVED IT! It's been quite some time since I've been to a musical and it didn't disappoint. I LOVE musicals. Why I majored in Journalism instead of Theatre...is beyond me. I mean, who needs raw talent anyway? Right? I guess my practical side won that battle. =) Now, it's back to the grindstone. Pictures are being edited and ordered and yes, even blogged! More to come soon!
