taras wedding and mexican feasts!

since the last update I have been to pcola, seen one of my best friends get married, done the Fantasy football drafting, had a mexican feast, and bought 6 seasons of friends!!!! Last thursday Justin and I headed out of Cincinnati for pensacola to see my little Tara get married! We stayed in Nashville thursday night with Jo and the Corzines. Chaz and Deaver got us some tickets to the Titans game so we went and watched them play Green Bay, and I sorta like Green bay, not so much the titans, but it was so fun! The Corzines really are just the greatest people! They are so fun to be around and so generous and an all around great family! Their children are the cutest! I woke up Friday morning and eight year old ali had crawled in the bed with Justin and I and hugged me and asked if we could stay longer. It was just so cute and such a reflection of her parents. They really are sincere, and accepting, and sweet people. Well, Deaver cooked up breakfast and then Justin, Jo and I were off to Pensacola. We arrived and got all unpacked and Ash came and got me and us girls headed off to Hemingway's for Tara's bachelorette party! It was sooooo fun! After we ate we headed outside to get ready to do the video scavenger hunt. oh my goodness, there is nothing else I love better than being retarded with my very best friends! we walked around the boardwalk acting ridiculous and asking complete strangers to propose to us, and cops to handcuff us, and performing mock weddings, all in honor taras upcoming wedding. it was so hilarious to get back home and watch both teams videos.

The next day I went and got tori and we headed off to Taras bridal luncheon. it was really neat because tara wanted all of us to wear funny/huge/ridiculous hats! We were all in our fun hats and ate bagels and then made all the flower arrangements and bouquets for the wedding. that night we had the rehearsal dinner on the beach and me and justin and tori and ruco all drove out there together and played. I just love being around people like them. we always have so much fun and are so open and real with one another and laugh about the craziest things. i miss them so much when we are way up here in ohio. anyway, the rehearsal went really well, it made me sooo anxious for the wedding. Tara and morgan are such amazing people and its amazing to see their obedience to God and the ways that He reallly has richly blessed them...it is so cool! Tara's sweet spirit is so inspiring to me and i cannot believe she is so far away now. I think part of the reason that i miss all my friends so much is that they are so encouraging and uplifting, and genuinly so. i understand that i need to make new friends here and try and bless them. i just miss that sincere love from other people, knowing they have my back and have an encouraging word and sweet hug to offer to me whenever i need it.

eh, anyway, the wedding was amazing! tara did such a good job planning it and making it fun for everyone! From the ceremony to the cake to the music to the fun little details it was just perfect! anyway, after the wedding i went and got out of my pretty little bridesmaid dress and we all went to SONNYS! i never knew how much i would crave sonnys up in here in ohio where we HAVE NONE! after dinner we went to emily and heathers apartment and went swimming! basically it consisted of me and heather wripping apart toris bathing suit and her sitting topless in the hot tub while we all tried to cover her up while attempting to reassemble the bathing suit. FUNNY!

Well I had so much fun, however, it made me not want to leave. i just love those girls so much and i love the comfort i feel in my home and the safeness i feel when im with my parents...i always feel at ease and comfy. i assume that i will find contentment and comfort in my new home. Justin is comfortable to me, and the rest that he offers me when im with him is awesome. Its just those times when he is away from me or when i have been away from a fellowship or any sort of edifying relationship, that i get a little sad. i just want some fun awesome solid girlfriends! there are just some things you gotta talk to your girls about! boys just dont even get, nor should they try...it can be dangerous! haha

well, im back in ohio now and jo is here again! woo hoo! tonight we made a mexican feast for some friends of ours. we seriously cooked pretty much everything from scratch and all by ourselves! it was so fun! we made real mexican flan, which isnt my favorite but it was pretty good and we actually made it right! also, everyone likes my sweet tea! its so important to me that they do since im from the south and i love sweet tea! my mom gave me her recipe and i have been practicing! its really good i promise!

well, thats pretty much all i have been up to. i have no points in my fantasy football team yet but ill keep you posted so you can see how much i am kicking butt!!! i have peyton manning, and he IS my boyfriend! well, back to watching one of my many new seasons of Friends! night night all!
