Blessed and humbled part 1

Caution: If you ask God to humble you, He will be more than happy to answer that prayer. I have firsthand experience with this type of request, and I'm truly thankful that it was answered. (More on that later.)

I have never felt so loved by so many in such a short amount of time as I did this past weekend. I was blessed to have a bunch of my girlfriends plan my "bachelorette" party on Friday. (The quotes are significant here because many would not consider a night without booze, bars, and crazy beads to be a real bachelorette, but I am not one of those people!) It was a perfect girls night out. With a private cooking class, stretch hummer limo, princess tiara, and some awesome lingerie, it was a night I'll never forget!

Apparently I only befriend amazingly gorgeous women!

Chef John was picking on Lauren and T. I think he can smell fear.
Look how attentive everyone else is,
except B who doesn't take crap from nobody!

Thanks for coming Laur, even if you didn't get to ride in the hummer.
Love you!

Lindsey and I didn't know what we were in for when we volunteered to man the chicken.
I had to remind myself that the chicken I eat is never EVER alive. Isn't everyone's?

T and B don't mess around.

Since the Olympus, of course, ran our of juice. I will post more pictures soon from the real photographer's camera.

You girls are all such a blessing! Thanks to those who traveled, those who did all the planning, and those who gave up time with their own men to prepare me for mine!
I can't wait to shower each of you in the future.

"His legs flail about as if independent from his body!"

If you are a "Friends" watcher as I have been known to be, you will appreciate that quote. I am getting to see the Chandler Bing's greatest fear--Michael Flatley and the "Lord of the Dance" performance. I am so excited! I've seen a lot of different types of performances in my lifetime (even the gravely strange or soberly artistic modern dance shows), but I've never seen an Irish Riverdance! My mom got tickets for us back in October for my birthday. She is so astute and thoughtful! In case you aren't familiar with "Lord of the Dance." Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living. This is his favorite gesture. I think he's solving the world's problems. That a boy Silas. I knew
