What I'm supposed to be doing... Rehersal Dinner

As we speak we are supposed to be enjoying our rehearsal dinner.. Well if you have been following my blog or your a personal friend, you know that we had to move our date back in order to prioritize for our future and what would be best for us. I'm 110% happy and OK with this decision, to be honest the fact that the wedding was supposed to be this weekend really has not bothered me. I haven't really talked to anyone about it, no tears have been shed, and I'm actually kind of glad it's not this weekend with the stressful semester I had.

I was excited to wake up today knowing that I got to go see two little one's that I just adore! I got to spend a few hours today with one of my flower girls, one of my matron of honor's, and one of my ring bearers (he doesn't know he is one yet and I have not asked his parents since he's only 2 months old, but I will be asking them when I start working on planning again ;)
I also got a nice jog in today and spent some time at the gym. Now the thing that has probably kept my mind off of the 'wedding weekend' is I'm packing to head out on a 7 day Bon Voyage with Brian's Dad and step family and other friends on Sunday and his step-mom is so awesome for picking this weekend for us to set sail since the wedding plans had to change!

As we set sail we will be celebrating:
Brian's Dad's 60th Birthday
Brian, his brother Mason, and friend Austin's Birthdays
College graduations

Pics to come!

Wedding Wed: Hoe Down Rehersal Dinner

Since my Dad "won't allow" me to have a Country themed wedding (he says the place is too ellagent and he's paying too much to make it look cheap)... So why not do all my plans/envisions/dreams into our rehearsal dinner. My dear Boss also long life friend sent me a link the other day with some pics that gave me more ideas..

I want to have an actual "Hoe Down" with a guy playing the banjo, stacks of hay, sunflowers, bandannas, bbq, dancing, def cowgirl boots, maybe big skirts, and possibly games like bob for apples.. (I know I'm a dork, thanks)





(ignore the flowers and linens on these tables) I like the signs!


Here is where I would like to (plan) on having this shindig

George Ranch

And here are some pics from their website
Here is the campfire where we could put the hay and sing and dance!

here are some things they show you can rent for entertainment:


HOPEFULLY the future in laws will like these ideas ;)


Oops I just remembered I was supposed to do my socks post today....
