Pet sitting again...
1-Now the Gossman's have a ferret to watch as well. Bill even called from Alaska to check on the ferret and make sure he was getting to play-which I found pretty funny. I had to call in reinforcements to help with this because christa and heather loved playing with it but it keeps biting my ankles everytime I let it out and I am not particularly fond of that.
2-And Another hermit crab died. Yes, that makes my pet count 2 hermit crabs and a cat. Those crabs do not have a long shelf life though-again something out of my control but still...Not quite sure why they still have me sit for them....

Here are some of my favorite recent pictures I got developed:

From Brian's Wedding:



My pregnant sister (she's is due anyday now), Becks and I


Some Maui in May:

Why...why would someone do this to themselves...I happened to run across this while I was looking for pictures of pasta..

Shels wedding weekend was awesome:
-Tony got shels a hotel room the night before so jen, shels and I got to spend some quality hotel room time before the day of
-Everything went perfect during the wedding-I even managed not to cry
-Shels looked so beautiful as you can see below
-The only thing that threw us was when the dj announced them as jennifer and scott strand? he needs some coaching from bramlett

I am very sad to say that all my pictures didn't come out-in all the confusion i put the same roll of film in my camera twice-i got some pictures but I am waiting on kt to get some printed...
Here are some favorites from the ones emailed to me:


Us finishing getting ready




I thought this was funny: This was us rushing to get her garter on in time in front of everyone.




The happy couple

I'm off to marry one of my best friends off...
I am leaving soon to head on out to Streator to decorate and go to Shels rehearsal dinner. It is really weird to think she is actually getting married! This is going to be so fun!

Sidenote: One of my friends got a gift card for a manicure AND pedicure for the wedding. I went yesterday and it was so cool. I know I should've had one by my age but these were my first professional ones. The color I picked was "Not Really a Waitress" I just keep looking at them-I was so scared I was going to ruin them. I could've upgraded to one where they would even give me an island rum drink but I passed on that-who knew the spa could be a bar now too?

The best party ever...
We had Shel's bachlorette party this past weekend and it was so fun. So many friends were all there at one time, there were some old LCC references thrown in for old times sake, some good presents were given, and we danced til after 2 before we marry her off. Here are a couple pictures for now:

Gathered together to open presents


Us at brunch the next day

This past week was full of fun stuff:

1-Brian got married on friday-it was really cool to see how happy he was..although one thing I missed, the music started late so the pastors left before they started dancing which has always been a good time to do the electric slide with dave and jon.

2-Maui in May party on Sat. night. It was fun to just hang out with everyone, meet some new people and relax-it had been too long since we had the chance to do that. And I splurged and went to dunkin donuts on my way home. I love that place-I should never live too close by one.

3-Guy and Miah played in Naperville and it was so fun to have so many of all our friends in the same place at the same time. It rarely happens so it was very cool. I wish we were less busy so we could do that more. Guy's family came so it was funny to hear him put a disclaimer in front of one of his songs that "it is only for married people"

4-Last night we went to an open mike night in Pilsen. It was really cool to see what Eli and the guys are doing in that area. unfortunately I was volunteered/forced to do "improv". It wasn't pretty-one of the things we were to do was a punk rock dance off. One I don't know how to "punk dance" nor did i know what to do when the guy up there with me started mixing jerky swing into the mix of punk dancing....

Hopefully I will be able to afford to get my pictures developed sometime soon...
