Krissy's Bridal Shower

So, this past weekend was Kristin's bridal shower that Carrie and I have been planning for weeks now. It went beautifully! Garrett was a super big help with all the favors. We went over to Carrie's mom's house after work on Friday and had dinner and made all the favors and baked all the cupcakes!

Here's some pics:

I wasn't sure what to do for a gift, I wanted to do something creative and then I remembered a cute idea for a kitchen utensil bouquet and with Garrett and my mom's help they helped my idea come to fruition:

Kristin really liked it, I got her the bouquet, a wedding memories book, some cute shimmery stuff and of course sexy panties!

I was also good enough to win every game we played here are my prizes:

The shower was lots of fun and I got lots of compliments on my cupcake cake! It was also super fun spending time with my friends and reliving all the girly wedding moments!

Sad day...

So, yesterday our family pet Zena died after 10 great years of love!!! She was such a smart and good girl and we will all miss her very much. She got sick last week and we spent all morning at the vet this past Saturday, they gave her some pain relief pills, but she still refused to eat anything. Then, yesterday morning she passed away. I am a firm believer that All Dogs go to Heaven...we love her and will miss her very much! I am still trying to gather some family pics of her, but I have to scan them into the computer since they are from before I had a digital camera, but I will soon. I did take a photo of her sleeping just this past Monday.

Love you little Zena and we miss you!!!

Eventful weekend!

So, last Friday a couple of friends from work, Garrett and I all met up for dinner at Logan's Roadhouse to be followed by a Night of Fright at one of the local haunted houses. Because I work for Gorilla we were able to get our friends and family in for free this night, so we made an event of it. It was pretty spooky and the special effects were awesome!!! After watching one of my co-workers cry due to a crazy chainsaw man chasing her, we called it a night with the house and headed over to Dave and Buster's for drinks and games. My pal Casey from the office and his very cute and pregnant wife also came along and it was nice to hang out and get to know each other better before I leave Gorilla forever! We all had fun and here are some pics to prove it:






















It was also my nephew Emilio's birthday party on that Saturday, my sister threw him an Army themed party, the child is obsessed with LEGO's so that's pretty much what everyone got him on top of Army stuff of course:



Garrett and his friends then went off to Best of Phoenix, which is a pretty big deal every year and put on by the Phoenix New Times, I was sick with a cold so I opted not to go:












Then it was onto a celebration of my other nephew Jacob's birthday, he had a great Kung Fu Panda cake...that was super yummy:



It was a very busy weekend to say the least, but very fun, even with a cold!
