Houston Wedding Showcase

Yesterday my mom and I went to the Houston Wedding Showcase at the GRB. Our (My) main goal was to meet with the dj, LG Entertainment, I wanted to see if we could get a better deal...and to see if he forgot about wanting a hotel room. We walked around the show..."No I don't want a new mattress" "No, I don't want to have a dirty girl slumber party" "YES, I want those shoes!!" Oh, yes, the holy grail of shoes made a reappearance!

As we were walking, I noticed a different dj with turntables. I'd never heard of them so it made me kind of weary but we talked to the guy for awhile anyway. I noticed his name on the business card and it sound familiar. I asked how long he's been in business, he said he has been dj'ing for over 10 years but the business was only a few months old. Long story short, this was the dj I wanted who used to work for LG. So we got the dj I wanted at a better price and NO hotel room or his shady boss! YAY!

We continued to walk around, revisited the shoes a couple of times, and were getting ready to watch the cheesy fashion and leave. We walked past a makeup artist whose before and after pictures were amazing! We got to talking to the artist, Leigh Ann, and I just fell in love with her! She's getting married October 23 (exactly a year before me), Old Hollywood is her specialty, her business card has a pinup girl on it, and her prices were great! I just had to book her!

So now we just need a baker and a dress. And don't get me started on my own personal dress problem. What do you do when you fall in love with a dress that doesn't love you back?!

You can dance, you can jive.....

Saturday was Brittany's baby shower. Special shout out to my mom and Aunt Diane who had to put all my decorations and cookies and cupcakes while I was at work! Everything turned out soo cute, I was so happy with how it looked.





She got some great gifts and some really cute clothes! It was also great to see some old friends back from PALS days! Crazy how much has changed in 5 years!




The night concluded with the mother/daughter sleepover with me, my mom, Corny, Loubner, and Debbie. Fun but next time we decided we are wrapping the neighbors house! :)

Sunday, me and mom went and saw ABBA!! No, not the real Abba. It was a tribute band, but they were great! The opening act was a bit of a freak show. A man in blue eye shadow did singing impressions of Cher, Diana Ross, and Eartha Kitt...entertaining, but weird. ABBA was great! I could see them again and again!!

Galveston Boutique Bridal Show

So on Sunday me and my girls went to the Boutique Bridal Show of Galveston. We ate at Monterey's (so good, my favorite margaritas). This is when the drinking began...well for the two of us that weren't either pregnant or underage! After some muy bueno Mexican food, we headed off to the bridal show.


The Galvez is such a pretty hotel!

There weren't many people there at all. Stacy and Courtney have now seen the two extremes of bridal shows. The nutzo Extravagnza and the calm, champagne filled Boutique Show. The vendors were all really nice except the dickhe@d dj! Ruh-ude! And the first cake we tasted...tasted like sour butt! But everything was nice...especially free champagne! AND I won $50 to the cake lady! We thought Courtney Malin won something, too, but it turned out Courtney Mulin won something!

After the show, I took the girls to see the church. They like it and Bernie got to see where her reading podium will be!


After the church, Stacy, Courtney, and I joined my fam at Top Water. Fun and, yes, more drinking!

THEN we went to Loubner's softball game, where they sell really big beers! Fun, Fun, Fun day!! Rough, Rough morning!
