Caitlin’s Baby Shower November 30, 2009

Yesterday was Caitlin’s baby shower. There was lots of guests and a butt load of gifts for little Axton. I still can’t believe that Rachel and Caitlin are pregnant right now and only something like a week apart from each other. And who knows when the other girls are going to get married and have kids, Jessie is married already and she’s probably going to start popping them out pretty soon. I’m only 23 and can’t even think about that stuff yet. I have noticed on facebook though that a very large amount of my classmates are married, have kids, or both. I don’t know, it’s just mind boggling to me that all of this stuff is happening already. What happened? I guess that I’m more the type of person that’s fine with being unmarried until I’m thirty or so. I just keep thinking about how weird it will be when all of the girls are married with kids and I’ll still be the oddball. Anyways, here’s a few pics:

Oh, and I also want to say that I just signed up on vimeo. I’m finally starting to go through all of the video that I have stored on my camcorder and doing something with it. It just sucks that my internet connection isn’t very fast so the videos that I’m uploading are pretty small and I can’t figure out why they aren’t displaying as widescreen and instead look a bit smooshed.

Thanksgiving November 27, 2009

Yesterday was time for Thanksgiving again. This year it was a bit more sparse than usual because not everyone could make it including my dad because he had to work. We did have a good time though and it’s nice to see family especially since you usually only get to see them during the holidays.

Chuck making his famous Cajun turkey. This is the food item that most of the family drools over.

Lindsey & Erin with my favorite Thanksgiving food, homemade rolls.

Jamie & Jake

Mike & Grandma

Jake brought tupperware along so he could bring food back home.

The couch, a great gathering place.

Samantha, Jamie, & me.

Re-enacting a photo from last year minus Kaleb.

Plenty of desserts left to bring home.

 

Becky & Mike November 19, 2009

I finally got around to posting just a few photos from Becky & Mike’s wedding in September!

Inspired November 18, 2009

I was looking through the Sally Jane Vintage blog (which I would highly recommend for lovers of vintage & fashion) and she had made a post with photos from Waldemar and Max. I love these photos! It got me thinking that it would be so much fun to do a photo shoot like this since I have pigeons and some friends that would like to participate? This would be so much fun if it wasn’t so cold out.

 

Rachel’s Baby Shower November 9, 2009

Yesterday was Rachel’s baby shower which I ended up being 30 minutes late to it because of my demented GPS. For some reason my otherwise reliable Garmin thought the location was about 5 miles away from where it really was. This meant lots of confusion for me and driving back and forth and in circles. I ended up finding it on my own but of course was late and already missed a few games. I did get to play one where you guess how many safety pins are in a jar. I guessed 102 and it ended up being 103 so I won! Rachel ended up getting lots of gifts for little Samantha!

Halloween November 3, 2009

First I must say that I love Halloween! It’s the only holiday that I even really like. Second I must say as a warning that this is going to be a long post. With that said, on Friday everyone met up at Josh & Lynsie’s for their Halloween party.

Our hosts, Lynsie & Josh.

Little Sadie is so cute in her coat.

Josh, Jessie, Phil, Rachel, & Brad.

Jessie & I. I must say that I loved dressing like this, it was my first attempt at wearing victory rolls!

Max & Jessie. Max went as that scary Sham Wow guy.

I just thought this was a pretty funny photo of Caitlin.

Caitlin & her boyfriend Cody. Cute, right?!

Phil & Jessie

Jessie got a little lap dance by Lynsie’s brother.

The three photography students – me, Ashley, & Jessie. Kisses!

The Next night was Halloween and also Jessie’s birthday so we went out to eat at the Orchard, played apples to apples at Jessie & Phil’s, then went out to The Dive Bar for the rest of the night for some dancing.

There was a guy going around the dance floor with a vampire blow up doll.

We made a few trips outside in the very cold night air which feels pretty good after being in a very hot & crowded club.

The birthday girl!

One sad thing – they no longer offer the ladies drink free here because some guy sued them for gender discrimination. This makes me sad, very sad. I was waiting until 11pm for my free drinks but they never came In return I think they should at least offer some special like $1 drinks instead of charging a crazy $4 per drink. I was very thirsty so I bought 1 drink then refilled the glass a few times with water in the restroom. I get to see the ladies again next Sunday for Rachel’s baby shower, then again in a few weeks for Caitlin’s!
