Blessed beyond belief!

Well as most of you know, this past week I was fortunate enough to make my last trip to Texas before Avery is born. I arrived on Wednesday around noon. My daddy picked me up from the airport and we went and ate some tasty Mexican food at CozyMels in Grapevine! It was nice getting to just hang out with my Dad for a change. We had a good time and had many laughs of course as well! :) If any of you know my Dad... you know he definitely can make you laugh, well nothing's changed! ha ha! From CozyMels we drove to McKinney to see my Granny at one of her offices. After that I left Dad and drove to PP to pick up Bailee from school and to go see mommy at her school! :) It's so refreshing to see family and people that know you... no fronts or feelings of apprehension, everything's just normal! I love that! We went home to rest a while and of course they wanted to feel Avery moving and she was as always going nuts so Mom was able to feel her.

That night Mom decided we were going to go to the Denton Civic Center's Annual Children's Consignment Sale... HOLY CRAP... THERE WAS SOOO MUCH STUFF!!! We were there for at least 2 hours just looking at everything... Mom and Bailee picked out about a billion outfits which they did BUY for our little Avery lol... I'm spoiled and yes this child will definitely be WAY more spoiled. It's so funny to see how excited Mom, Dad, and Bailee all were...It makes it all so real! After that we went to Fuddruckers for dinner with Ricky and his girlfriend. It was tasty as well! :)

The next day, we slept in a bit because of the late night we had. Then we got up and got ready and headed for OF COURSE... FRISCO for a day of shopping! Mom and Bailee both skipped school so we could have a day of hanging out just the three of us! :) We went all over the place... Mardels, Children's Boutique shops, Ross, TJMAXX, SUPER Target, Hobby Lobby, Stonebriar Mall, Lowes, and we even ate at my favorite pizza place; Mr. Gattis!! (childhood obsession)

Friday morning we all got up early and I took mom and Bailee to school and headed to Fort Worth for a day with my girlfriends and preparation for Rachel's wedding! When I first got there Kim and I headed to meet up with Cayton and his wife, Alex... it's so good to see old friends... although we've all changed, we haven't changed too much! :) The rest of the day was spent getting the reception hall ready just as Rachel had so intricately planned! That night we had the rehearsal and dinner at the church then had Rachel's lingerie shower... she got some really cute and comfy things! :)

Saturday was Rachel's wedding, I ended up helping a good bit with hair and makeup which is my favorite thing to do! Everyone looked so beautiful as always ESPECIALLY Rachel! Her hair and dress were absolutely perfect fitting to a T for the wedding she had planned. Everything went perfectly in my mind... it was a precious wedding and I think everyone enjoyed it! :) Immediately after the wedding I had to haul booty to Denison which is about 2 hours away from Fort Worth.

I thought that Danyelle's wedding started at 5:30 and that I was doing good on time but turns out, it started at 5 and I was about 10 minutes late! :( I missed her walking in but regardless she looked astonishing! She's so natural and the wedding was so simple yet sooo perfect. The wedding was totally centered on God and the way he had united them together as one... there were praise and worship songs and they even had a congregational song for us to sing, "How Deep the Father's Love for Us." I'm pretty sure I cried through the entire thing! I've known Danyelle since she was 2 or 3... so to see this little girl that I'd been "sisters" with forever, all grown up and getting married was just super emotional, not to mention me being pregnant! ha ha!

Ok this is all I have time for right now, I will finish the rest of my trip later on... :)
