My baby sister is married, hence the long trip back to the States. It was a whirlwind but definitely worth it. The wedding was beautiful and we had a great time.Let me break it down for you... Long trip. I love ambien. Arrival to God's country. 1st stop, bachelorette party in Denver. Maggiano's followed by Sing Sing. My favorite quote of the evening straight from the bride-to-be, "This is the 1st condom I've ever held". My favorite gift, "How to lose your virginity".
My favorite bar, Sing Sing. A night filled with drinks, games and dancing. I'm still trying to decide if I should post Jayla's song and dance. Yes, I'm thinking yes since this is a blog and blogs are supposed to be full of truth and fun. Unfortunately, due to something crappy with my internet connection and/or the size of the file (the message keeps popping up in kangi, no idea what it's saying), I was unable to post the video that I really, REALLY wanted to. Jayla, you lucked out this time! Just be glad I didn't post the naked veil pic in retaliation cause I was "this close". See video below. WARNING: If you are a grandparent, parent, Kyle and/or would prefer not to see Jayla dancing around on a stag with a penis wand, don't hit play. :) Wedding rehearsal...seriously??? I'm supposed to stand on this stair in heels? Rehearsal dinner, more eating and fun. 
Bridesmaid gift: the cutest apron ever! Wedding day. Getting ready, drama patrol, BEAUTIFUL wedding, tears, my cousin falling off the step in her heels and grabbing the back of my dress for balance. Thank God we were in a church, I think He blessed me with cat-like reflexes to prevent the wedding from turning into a peep show (strapless dresses). Nice recover Annie. 
Reception. Wonderful flip-flops, my are still numb from the heels. More eating and pictures, dancing fun. I vaguely remember a bouquet catch in there. Maybe this one will bring more luck than the past 3 I've caught?? After all it was the "real" bouquet and not some fake stand-in bouquet...I'm just saying. Safe travels newlyweds!! Baby shower for my other wonderful sister and the my nephew Lincoln. 
Guess the pregnant belly. More games, eating, fun. Celebrating the birth of our country in a torrential down pour complete with hail=fun at the arcades with the entire family. Watch out! 
Grandma's got a gun.
Denver with my dad and Sandra. My father's 1st baseball game since he was 10...Go Rockies! Game beer and dogs, the greatest meal of all time. Jazz in the park, more food and drink. Boulder, CO and Pearl St....the center of God's country. Yes, it really is despite all the crazy liberals. Catching up with friends, more eating, drinking and fun. Sleep, no sleep. Sleep is for the weak. Long ass flight home. Did I mention I love ambien? But remind me to sit on the outside the next time so I can get up to pee when I want.Pics that must be posted:
