This 'n' That

As promised, here are some pictures from the Bachelorette weekend for your enjoyment! The night we went out, Julie requested that everyone wear some form of blue because that is one of the colors she is using. It turned out really well and was different than the usual everyone wear black except for the bride. So, without further ado.

**Yes, that's Carolyn with me in the above picture- she ended up getting to come along for the weekend which was wonderful!!

Friday evening is the wedding, so I've got a short week at work! Please everyone say a little prayer that it doesn't rain because the wedding is outdoors. The weather around here has been so unpredictable lately!! I have several things to do in preparation including pressing my dress, purchasing a necklace, getting WEG's suit dry cleaned, pedicure appointment, etc, but I know it will all come together!

Today I am tired after a long weekend of work. We had our annual Alumni Reunion down at the coast this weekend, which meant waking up at 6:00 on Saturday and Sunday. And to top it off, at 3:00 I have to leave work for a visit with my favorite women's doctor. Okay, the doctor is wonderful, but the appointment- not so fun. The worst part for me is getting my finger pricked. I'm such a big baby, so if you read this before then, send good thoughts my way at 3:30 which is about when I'll be facing the needle.

And in other news, the ice cream turned out okay. It wasn't completely firm enough, even after 60 minutes of churning. I think it is because I used 1% milk instead of whole milk so it wasn't quite thick enough. It tasted good, though, just was more like ice milk! Ah well, you live you learn :-)

Finally, a great big congratulations to Erin over at Blue Eyed Bride. She and Todd welcomed John Matthew Hudson Carroll into the world at 4:39 a.m. EST on Friday, June 5th after she was induced on Thursday morning- quite a long day for Erin & Todd, I'm sure, but the picture Erin posted on her Twitter is just adorable so I'm sure he was worth the wait. Baby Hudson made his entrance into the world at 9 lb. 5 oz. and 21 inches long. If you get a chance, pop on over to Erin's blog and congratulate her!

Hopefully I will be a better blogger this week, but with wedding stuff, I don't know- your guess is as good as mine!
