Oktoberfest 2009

Last night we headed out to Addison to meet up with our friends Lora & Brandon (one of 2 married couples in our wedding party) and Laura & Mike for Oktoberfest 2009.

Cheers! (Mike, Laura, me, Chris, Brandon & Lora)

We've never been to Oktoberfest, so we didn't know to bring our own mugs. But no worries, we paid for some there and now have a couple of nice souvenirs (which can be used for all Oktoberfests to come).

We drank some good beer, ate bratwurst & strudel & funnel cake and had a wonderful time with friends. We did a little talk of the wedding, and have decided on a great plan for the bachelor/bachelorette parties (more on that later). It is so good to get out of the house (where you can't really go into a room without seeing some DIY project) and spend time with friends that will be with us throughout this journey to the alter.

Yay for a break from wedding projects

Did you enjoy breaks from all the DIY crafting with friends?

Roomie Reunion

College Roomies! MOH Kristen, BM Colby & me

Chris and I spent our 3 day holiday weekend down in Houston with my two college roommates Kristen and Colby and their significant others Raul and Chris. My two roomies happen to both be in our wedding party, Kristen is my MOH and Colby is one of the bridesmaids. Chris (Colby's husband) is also one of my Chris' groomsmen.

Kristen & Colby (along with their guys) surprised me with a cookie cake for my birthday (which was last Sunday) and a gift card to Michael's!!! How awesome is that?? Now I can get more supplies for DIY projects!

YUM Cookie Cake!

We spent the weekend catching up on life, talking about wedding plans, watching college football, heading out on Colby & Chris' boat on the lake, playing some 3 on 3 basketball, watching the new Brad Pitt movie and playing some games.

Even little Gypsy had a great time with Colby & Chris' dogs Charlie and Slider

It was a wonderful, but short weekend with 2 of the wonderful girls that will be standing by my side on my wedding day.
