Then I don't know what this guy was thinking- but during the pouring rain he decides to brush-hog in the lot across from our house. Well this is what happened due to all the flooding and rain! Andrew went out and they finally got the tractor un-stuck. I'm sure that's the last time he'll try to do that!
I've had a pretty great week. Everyone has been asking me how it's been married for a week. Well it's been great of course! It's weird coming home though and having nothing to do for the wedding, and nice I must add too ; ) I've been a little busy with thank you cards and need to go buy more of those actually! Andrew and I got a cake mix from William Sonoma and I told him if he cooks dinner (which he's the cooker and usually does) I'll make the dessert! So I started making this cake mix we got. Well I got the two cakes made and turned out good but then it came to the icing that goes in between the 2 cakes. OH BOY! This was a mess and I kept thinking I did it wrong because the icing was NOT nice and fluffy like the picture on the box! It basically will look like a big Oreo but a cake when you're done. Ummm....negative....my icing never looked like the icing in the middle of Oreo's. I kept asking Andrew did I do something wrong, but nope I didn't! Anyways, we just went ahead and put it in the middle of the cakes even though it was still runny and not thick/fluffy. OMG it was so good though!!!! I think it was better than it would be if the icing was thick. Here's a picture of it and I know it looks horrible we laugh about it! Trust me it was so good!
Yes I know you're all dying laughing about this picture!
I didn't really do anything the rest of the week, but the weekend was busy! This weekend I helped host a bridal party for my friend Carmen! She works at the same place I do too but the Fayetteville clinic = ( I don't have the group photo of the hostesses and Carmen but I have pictures of the food table- which of course is the best part anyway! We had mexican food and everything turned out great. Carmen and Adam got lots of goodies
I should've taken another picture later with ALL the food
Mmmmm....chocolate covered strawberries and petit fours
Pictures of the cute couple
Saturday morning I woke up bright and early to do Race for the Cure with my friend Melanie. She got diagnosed with breast cancer not too long ago so I ran with her team. Her chemo has shrunk the tumor though and she's been extremely strong throughout the whole process! The weather was perfect for the race and the rain held off thank goodness!
After the race I went home and watched the Royal Wedding finally! I had seen pictures of Kate but wanted to watch the wedding by myself without any interruptions! Kate looked absolutely beautiful! I'm not a fan of dresses with sleeves but hers was gorgeous! She definitely looked like a Princess. I think my favorite part of everything was when they walked out on the balcony of Buckingham Palace and you could read her lips saying "wow"! I think it probably hit her right then that's this was a huge deal and she's a Princess now. I must say I was a little disappointed in her bouquet. It just kind of looked like her flowers were dying- I guess it's just not like the ones you usually see at weddings. I was talking to SIL (Kara) and she said she heard the wedding cost like millions (don't remember exact number)! HOLY COW! I heard how her parents pitched in around $125,000- but millions!!! ahhhh- that's nuts! But she looked so so pretty and I loved it!
After watching the Royal Wedding I took a little nap and then went to Crossfit to watch Sectionals. This was their last competition. CrossFit NWA (the one I got to in Bentonville) was ranked really well but will know the where the stand overall before regionals maybe tomorrow. Here's a picture of some of our CrossFitter's working out hard!
Tomorrow's workout we'll be doing in honor of the troops attack on Osama Bin Laden! It'll be a rough one but worth working hard for those that have been working hard for us!!! I'm weird but I can't wait! It's going to be rough but a great workout!

Saturday night I met up with some friends at Table Mesa. Wonderful restaurant in Bentonville- if you've never been go NOW! It's on the Bentonville square. It's mexican but different, they call it modern latin cuisine. I tried their dates for the first time and they were AMAZING! They also have great margaritas . After dinner everyone came back to our house and hung out. My little Nala was worn out!
Sunday morning Andrew and I headed to Gentry to look at a china cabinet we found on Craigslist. We've been needing something for our bar glasses and extra serving platters we have. We found a pretty good deal on one and decided to buy it. It's just white wood and plain so we decided we'll paint. Here's some picture of before- it's a 2 piece one
the top before
bottom before
And now 1 semi-done after picture:
Of course it's not done. I had showed Andrew a picture of cabinet I liked that was black and looked washed out. But we wanted the washed out color to be something besides just white. So I decided red. It's pretty bold I must say- but this is right after he did it and it already looks different since it's dried some. I think it'll look good once all set up and everything in it- HOPEFULLY! = )
Sunday night we went to Andrew's parents and had a WONDERFUL dinner. Ham, mashed potatoes/gravy, corn, baked beans, deviled eggs, rolls, salad and strawberry shortcake. Yes, did you read all that?!? SOOOO GOOD! And i ate way too much I was hurting! Here's a picture of little Jonah laying on Andrew's back watching "Jungle Book"
Wow, this is has been a long blog- I feel like I can never write a short one! OH well- I'm posting one more picture- it's a crazy one of me in Vegas. My mom thought we should pay the guy so I could get my picture taken with him! Hint: mom and I love scary movies!
Hope everyone has a great week! Hopefully the rain will stop soon (I love rain, but ready for some sun t00)!
