Tyler came to VISIT me!

I had a wonderful weekend with Tyler in town and staying at my house!! I love him so so much and he loves me! :)

Cake Tasting! We went and got different flavors of cake and fillings from the place we are ordering our little cake (for cutting) for the Olympia reception. It was yummy! :)

CAKE CHOICES!!! YUMMY!

My Dad bought a SegWay (the thing Paul Blart rides in the movie Mall Cop.) Tyler and I were riding around in my driveway. He was better at it than I was. It was so fun to have him here for the weekend. I can't wait to marry him and to have him be a part of my family forever! :)

Tyler and I woke up on Sunday morning and there was writting all over his car. Some of my little brother's friends had coem to our house Saturday night and written with window paint on Anthony's car, Nichole's car (Anthony's friend) and as you can see, Tyler's car. They thought it was Anthony's friend Nyle's car... they even wrote Nyle's name on Tyler's car. I felt bad, so I started to clean it, and then he came out and we cleaned it together. It was a bonding experience according to my brother. haha.

After cleaning up the cars a little, then we had church..........These pictures are of us in out church clothes. This is after church. I wanted to have some more pictures. We just couldn't both smile. We kept making faces. We finally got a good one of us both. haha.

Girls Night with Lexi and Julie

BEFORE DINNER

AFTER DINNER

On the way to SWING DANCING!

CLOSE UP by Julie

***I think I just needed to get out of the house. I have been stuck here a few days catching up with things, because we were out of town. I needed to get out and be around people I haven't seen in a while. It was good to be with the girls. We went swing dancing and then went to Julie's house, ate and then hung out more and took pictures. It was a fun time with the girls! Of course I missed having Tyler around when I was dancing, but no one compared at all to him. Sorry, no pictures of us actually swing dancing. ***

Nothing Good, Nothing Bad

Today so far has been one of those days, where nothing has gone wrong, but the day doesn't feel right either. It feels like something is missing, or gloomy or something. I can't really put my finger on it. I am not really sad, lonely or upset about anything, but I feel like I could cry at the drop of a hat. It is so weird.

I wonder if excitement, nerves, changes and wedding/ new life stresses are starting to get to me. I didn't think I was worried, stressed or anything, but maybe I am and I just am not willying to accept it or think about it. I do not understand my feelings today or my thoughts for that matter. My mom asked me what was wrong and I had to say, "I don't know." I really don't know if something is wrong, or if I am just having a weird day. I look sad, concerned or confussed about something, but I'm not. . . at least I don't feel that way.

I am supposed to go swing dancing tonight downtown and then watch a movie with friends afterward, but I am not sure I want to go. This would normally not be an issue, but I am the one who planned the get together and outing for tonight, this means I should really show up and be there. It would be rude not to. I should be excited, it will be a fun night and a time with friends... but this mood just won't go away. I'll keep trying... but who knows what will happen with the day. . .

USTA Tournament Staff 2

Sometime we were actually working..... other times my Dad and I were just playing around. It was a great weekend away with my parents :)

USTA Tournament Staff

Today my Mom, Dad and I are all coordinating tennis at the USTA sectionals. My Dad is a coordinator, officially and my mom and I just help him with whatever he needs. I write the score cards, make sure teams are legal (correct players, levels/ratings of tennis play and things like that), its good family bonding. Anthony usually comes too, but he didn't this year. He wanted to keep practicing his tennis and going to his lessons (I think he wanted to hang out with his friends and some girls he knows. haha). I have been doing this since I was about 9 years old. I have been helping with this for 10 years! Impressive huh? I got my new name tag today. Here it is :)

A Touch of Banks

Banks Lake is an amazing family trip we take every year. This year Tyler came for a couple days. UNFORTUNATELY.... we did not take any pictures together and I only have a few pictures of anything at all. (My aunt Teresa took more, but I need to get them from her.)

Julie and I had a fabulous week together.

I got a "tube rash" on the back of both of my legs. It hurts. It is kinda like a really bad rug burn, but not. It feels like someone is taking a razor blade and scraping it against my skin anytime everything or anything touches it or brushes against it. Fun Huh?....... Not. But oh well, it will heal and all will be good again.

Bridal Shower Pictures

Thank you Patti, Blaire, Nan and Julie for everything you did for my bridal shower! :)

I was put into the pantry because I was the judge for one of the games and they did not want me to cheat. I was all alone. :( haha
