Bachelorette Party

It has been so long since I blogged and that’s due, mainly in part to the many things that happened this last month. Now I have a ton to catch up on. The first thing I’m going to blog about is my Bachelorette Party. Jenny did such a great job, I had a ton of fun! We went to Wendover and stayed at the Montego Bay Casino. It was just me, Jenny and Courtney, but we know how to have fun. When Jenny and Courtney picked me up Jenny’s car had been decorated with all these signs saying things like girls night out and last night.

Then they made me wear a toy tiara with a veil, a pagent banner saying Bachelorette and a necklace with a huge diamond ring.

 

After we checked in Jenny and Courtney kept the theme of the night going by decorating the room. They had balloons, a banner that read Bachelorette party and a game, Kiss the Stud. Like pin the tail on the donkey but you have sticker lips that you have to place on the poster.

The rest of the night we played. We went swimming until the pool closed. Played around in the hotel, took lots of pictures. Then we walked around the casino, we played a little bit of slots and then for Jake I played Roulette, put some on Red, which I lost, but I did win else where. I ended up with like $40 in winnings. Then we found a Lounge type area that was playing music so we danced for a little bit. Then after being tired and used to going to bed earlier we decided we’d call it a night.

 

 

 

The next day before we left we played kiss the stud.

 

Halloween

Usually I love to dress up for Halloween. It’s fun to dress up and miss the days when you’re a kid and that’s normal :). Anyway this year we didn’t really have enough money to buy costumes and I’m not very good and coming up with costumes so me and Jake did not dress up. Besides, I’m not sure how much Jake wanted to dress up. Although I told him I wanted to go do something fun for Halloween because I do enjoy Halloween. We ended up hanging out with Jake’s friend JC and his new wife Alli in Salt Lake. We first went to Olive Garden, then went to see Toy Story 3 at the dollar theatre. Finally we decided to go play Laser Tag. When we got to Laser Quest there was not a single person there aside from the workers. There was a game going on but no new players so it ended up being just us four in the arena. It ended up being a blast. The first game we started out play a free for all, but Alli and JC ganged up so me and Jake decided to team up as well. and to be honest I got a really low score that game. JC got like 200 something and Jake was like 144, but Ali got 34 and I got 7 :(. Well the next game we played we decided starting out that we’d do the team thing again. We (me and Jake) did a lot better after that. Alli was –8 and then me with 99. I don’t know what JC got but I know that Jake won that game with 300 something points. I know I could never beat the guys’ scores, but I was rather proud of my second games score. Also, while I have no way to prove it, but I swear I was able to get JC in a running shot. I was kind of cornered and I know the only way to move was to run past JC (he was down a little hall thing) so I took quickly pointed my gun to the side and was shooting as I passed the hall and swear I heard the sound of someone being hit. Although I can’t exactly prove and it could easily be a part of my imagination I swear I did it.

Just Because

The other night when Jake got home he had a beautiful bouquet of flowers. They were absolutely gorgeous. The best part is they were for no reason at all other then to say I Love You, which are the best kind of flowers. Although the only thing wrong with flowers are that they wilt and so in order to remember them I took pictures.

Joe and Maggie

This blog is about mine and Jake’s “children”, Joe and Maggie. They are both black labs. Very energetic, loving and fun. They are the sweetest dogs that I’ve ever had.

Maggie is technically mine. She’s almost a year old and comes from a great bloodline. Her father and grandfather are master hunters. However, since we do not have a place to live nor do we have much money right now we feel it is best to give up one of the puppies so we are giving Maggie to Jake’s dad. We’ll still be able to breed Joe to her, but she won’t be ours anymore. A lot of the pictures are blurry because it was really hard to have them sit still.

Our other puppy and the one we are going to keep is Joe. Joe is actually almost three so I don’t know if he counts as a puppy anymore. He’s Jake’s pride and joy and his best friend. Jake and Joe have known each other longer then I have known Jake. He’s an amazing dog and is really obedient.

This next picture is funny because Joe was sitting very still for the picture, but for some reason my camera’s shutter speed was really slow. Jake thought I had taken the picture so he had Joe move and so the way the picture came out made Joe look like a ghost.

Cooper’s Drive-In Pictures

So I finally found my camera cord so now I can put some pictures up that I wanted to. Here are the pictures from Cooper’s Drive-In.

Cooper’s Drive-In

So Jake’s side of the family is completely opposite of mine, his family has all boys. So either way we are going to break tradition (I hope we break his, I’m not sure I can handle boys). Anyway, Wednesday was one of Jake’s Nephew’s birthday and so they decided to get the nephews together to have a party. They first went to Denny’s for dinner, but I missed that part. After Denny’s they went home and made a “Drive-In”. It was such a creative idea I had to blog about it. They took boxes and made cars out of them. Then they took these little trays and hooked them to the side of the box kind of like they used to do in 50s. Then they put the boxes around the TV and put on a double feature. I have pictures, but I can’t find the cord to download the pics onto my computer so you’ll see the pictures later.

Bridals

So Saturday I went and took my bridals. Jenny and Michaelene helped me get ready and I looked gorgeous so thanks to you both (yes Mikey you helped). Then I met my mom and Linda at Grandma’s and we went up Mill Creek Canyon. We started at a waterfall which I thought was perfect for me, but because of the tall mountain the lighting we bad we moved to the other side of the canyon because the light was better. We found a cute bridge with some beautiful colorful leaves. I can’t wait to see the pictures. At the end Linda took some pictures of my ring. So yay I’ve got a good picture of my ring.
