Play Ball

This summer Darren took me to Comerica Park to see the Detroit Tigers play my Chicago White Sox.  The good guys in black prevailed 5-1!  Too bad the Baseball season is long over and those annoying Yankees won, again.

Elizabeth's Bachelorette Party - Part 3

Pictures from the remainder of the night celebrating Elizabeth's last girl's night before tying the knot on October 3rd!

Elizabeth's Bachelorette Party - Part 2

After dinner and star stalking we went to our favorite Nashville bar, The Stage!  By this time we were making all sorts of crazy faces.  Enjoy laughing because we certainly did that night!

Elizabeth's Bachelorette Party - Part 1

Sometimes when I scrapbook a night there seems to be 1 million really good pictures.  How do you narrow them down?  How do you leave out one picture over another?  It can sometimes be really hard.  For Elizabeth's shower and bachelorette weekend I think I took 200 pictures, of which I wanted to use almost 60... I did end up cutting about 12 but that is still a TON pictures to scrapbook yielding a ton of scrapbook pages! You've seen the shower and here follows the evening's events!

These pages are from dinner, drinks and dancing at Cabana.  This is also where we ran into Carrie Underwood!!

The Truth Hurts...Sort of

I read this today in a response by Olin Buchanan to some 'fan' mail on Rivals.com talking about the SEC being the best conference in the country:

I've often compared SEC football fans to a beautiful woman who's painfully insecure: No matter how many times she's told she's beautiful, it's never enough. She needs constant validation. And if you have the audacity to say someone else is beautiful, too, she throws a tantrum, slings dishes and slashes your tires.

My reaction is the proof we've put on the field in the last 3 National Championships and 4 of the last 6.  The other two were USC.  You have to go back to 2002 for a Big 10 National Championship and to 2000 for one in the Big 12.

Elizabeth's Nashville Bridal Shower

Thankfully I am finally able to be creative again.  It is back and in full force!  These two pages are from the Bridal Shower part of Elizabeth's Bridal Shower and Bachelorette Saturday Extravaganza! Any time we get to have fruit pizza is a good day!  What a fun day.  I can't believe my girl is MARRIED!

Family Time on July 4th

I spent July 4th in Hopkinsville with my family.  As you can see by the pictures, this weekend mainly consisted goofing off with my cousins.  I love them all so much; I wish I got to spend more time with them!!

A 21st Birthday that was Remembered!

My little cousin Heather finally turned 21 this summer.  We had quite the low key night of dinner at Amerigo's and then goofing off together on the streets of Nashville.  She's all grown up now.  Makes me feel so old remembering her being born! 

Aarggh Matey

I spent Halloween in Ann Arbor with Darren.  I had previously been a pirate so Darren decided to get a costume that would compliment mine.  We ended up at a pre-party at Alicia's house and then out at Connor O'Neills.  A good time was had by all.

Here is some of the rest of the crew: Pete (from the Big Lewbowski), Laura (Heidi Montag), Kevin (Inmate), Alicia (Goddess), Mitul (Ninja/Pilgrim), and Darren.

New Inspiration

Last week Sarah and I got a chance to scrapbook and I was finally inspired!  These are pictures from mid-June when Sarah, Emily and I ventured to our old standby, the Stage and then the following night a group of us had a girls night at the Melting Pot.  YUM!
