rehearsing is always a good time.

so tonight was sarah's rehearsal dinner and it was a shin dig indeed. i am home in wichita falls for the much anticipated union of sarah and ryan. its gonna be quite the weekend. i got up in austin this morning and ran around like a crazy person trying to get last minute things done before hitting the road. i got on the road around 11 and made it to wichita falls around 3:30. just enough time to come home and say hi to my mom and start a load of laundry, hop in the shower and get ready to go. i went over and fixed kat's hair for the rehearsal dinner and then we were on our way. before i headed to the church i had this brilliant idea of surprising keaton at work. he didnt know i was in town, i am not sure how he didnt know, but regardless...he had no idea. so i went up to his work and just walked in a surprised him. totally worth being late to the rehearsal because he was so excited and surprised. it was adorable.

then onto the rehearsal...the same ol' same ol'...walk down this aisle, stand in this order...that whole thing. not a big deal...moving on to the more important thing - dinner. dinner at the country club, always a good swanky time. it was so fun to see everyone again and have all the laughing and the speeches - funny and touching and sweet. the food was awesome, i had the best salmon ever...so good i had to go back and get more. i got to see all my cute pregnant friends - apparently there is something in the water that makes everyone have girls these days. lots of laughing and photo ops and just all around good times.

we called it an early evening because we are all old...and some are pregnant, and most are married. i went over to my dad's house and hung out with my dad and keaton and his new girlfriend, madison. we just sat around and caught up and hung out - it was a good time. i love my little brother so much, what a great person he has turned out to be. seriously.

and now i am back at my mom's...about to call it a night. i have a bridal luncheon starting in about 8 hours that i have to at least look somewhat presentable for. then its a long day of hair and makeup and pedicures and dresses...pictures and being at the church early. then an awesome night of dancing and eating and seeing people i love. yea for weddings!!
