cute girls can get anything they want

heres katie and kel - the beautiful bride and maid of honor. the week in houston was crazy, but sooo fun. having a nice long vacation from work was fantastic, especially since i started out the trip with schlitterbahn. and lets talk about that for a sec...20 people going to schlitterbahn together= controlled chaos. all the philly people were there too and theyre just the funnest people ever so it was a blast hanging out with them all week. oh, and dinner afterwards...lets just say there was a little 'incident' involving me and this guy who was giving us crap. luckily no big fight or brawl ensued however if it had, all those guys would have had my back ;) the story spread pretty quickly though and before you know it papa(miller dad) was calling me a 'fiesty lil shit' and if you know papa then you know that that's almost a compliment. i felt it oddly endearing and truly felt like part of the family.

the next nite was bbq and bachelorette fun. the bbq was incredible as expected and the bachelorette party was so fun. we had a suite in a hotel downtown where we did "bachelorette stuff" :) then we went downtown and this is where we learned that cute girls can get you anywhere and anything. dana quickly became our spokesperson and not only did we get into every bar and club for free, but got free rounds of drinks at every place as well. you cant get better than that. we might have partied a little too hard though since the light rail had stopped running by the time we were done and so all 6 of us had to pile into joshs car...and then kel lost her purse and deann lost her keys. so the nite didnt end in our favor but we wouldnt trade it for anything.

so then it was nearing closer to wedding time...we did all the normal wedding stuff...nails, hair, rehearsal, rehearsal dinner etc. all the while trying to not get overwhelmed in the chaos of the miller house.

and then the wedding. oh the wedding. the ceremony was short and sweet...kelly, katie, and steve all cried a little...ok, and maybe i did too a bit.. the reception was great. the ballroom was amazing, the food was good, the cake was delicious, and the dancing was outta control. everyone had a great time and i got to see a lot of old friends. the party wrapped up around midnite and then it was time to go home. or at least to the millers home. we went back there and had some more cake..yum...and watched the wedding video..yes...5 hours later we watched it. but its so much better the second time bc people start admitting things they did wrong during the ceremony and then once you actually get to look for them and watch them its hilarious. the pressure is off and you can laugh about it.

so that was the week..and weekend. so busy...and it just flew by and before i knew it i had to drive back to austin and go back to work.

so congrats katie and steve...hope youre having a great time in hawaii right now :)
