I am so far behind on blogging whats been going on over here. Busy, Busy, Busy. Work all day and hair all night. We have been figuring out wedding plans, visiting my family in Bakersfield, and celebrating Mother's Day.
A couple weekends ago...
On Friday, my Mom, Jen, Josh, and I went and looked at a couple venues for the wedding. The first one was a waste of our time but the second one was PERFECT! It didn't take long for us to decide. It will be on the 17th of October at 4:00pm at Siena Golf Club. It is beautiful. We talked a lot of wedding talk on the way home since we were stuck in in traffic for over an hour. We dropped Jen off and picked up my sister and dad and hit the road for Bakersfield. We got there kind of late but hung out and visited for a little while before heading to bed.
Saturday, we met up with my brother and his family for breakfast. It was the day of the Kentucky Derby so we headed to the fair grounds to pick our lucky horse. Who would have thought Josh would have picked the lucky #8 horse. It won with odds 50-1. We went over to my Uncle's house to visit him. He is going through chemotherapy right now so we made it a point to make it over there. After we head back to the house for a BBQ and some swimming. Ate and hung out until it was time for the rodeo!! Yee Haw!! 
I had never been to a rodeo but I had a blast. Barrel Racing was my favorite but Josh hates it. They had the best tribute for the fallen soldiers. A horse walked out with a beautiful saddle on with no one one it and there was a moment of silence for them. 
I just thought it was so amazing. There are so many days that go by and I don't even remember that we are having a war but there are families who have family over there. After the rodeo we went to Crystal Palace. It is a dance hall where they have concerts sometimes. When there is dancing and my brother and dad are in the same room, the true colors show of how much they are alike!! Its crazy.
It hit midnight and that was it...it closed. Music stopped and we had to leave. Josh and I were thrown off. Stoneys is open until like 4am or something like that. Went back to the house, ran to taco bell, came home, and head to bed.

We then stayed for 2 games of bowling. It was too funny. I have never, that I can remember, bowled with my parents. My team (Josh, my cousin, and I) lost both games. I think it was because we didn't have Coach Toby helping us out. Even my Aunt Theresa threw a couple balls down.
After that we went back to the house and pack up our stuff and hit the road.
I always have such a good time visiting with that side of the family. Lots of laughs and memories made.
Mother's Day...
Today my sister and I waited for my mom to wake up to give her her gifts. Normally she is waiting for us. I got her 2 books, Tarin got her the Rascal Flatts CD, and my Dad and Kalah got her a new chain for her necklace. Everyone came over for a brunch in the morning. Josh and I booked our honeymoon to Mazatlan, Mexico. 
My grandparents our giving us their timeshare for the week as our wedding gift. I am so excited and thankful for that. What an awesome gift! After being at my house for a little while we headed over to Josh's house to be with his family for a while.
