I haven't seen her for 13 years! It seems crazy to say 13 years, but it is true...I graduated in 1995! I am soooo old! It was fun to see her. She is still as beautiful as she was at 18! On Friday, we went to the IHOP for breakfast with my cousin, before she left to help her sister with the wedding. My cousin Becky, who lives in Indiana came with her 3 girls!!!! Sydney, Emmerson, and Anniston.
You probably can guess how much their girls and mine got along. They loved each other. Oh how I wish they lived closer. Then later that day my friend, Erica, from College drove to Houston from College Station to see us. She was one of my greatest friends in College, and also my sorority sister in Delta Zeta! Woohoo! :)
She lives in College Station with her hubby and three kids. She has twins, who are adorable! As is Jackson, the oldest! The kids had such a great time playing together. Her twins are Allison and Mason. Allison loved me of course...what girls wouldn't? I know how to take care of girls! :) It was fun to play with her, she couldn't get enough of me and my bracelets and earrings. :)
We had a good afternoon visit, and it was so fun to see her, since we haven't seen each other for 9 years! Yes, I am old....I know, I graduated college 9 years ago....good grief..time flies. On Saturday, we drove 2 hours to Orange, Texas....to my cousins' wedding. It was so much fun to see her happy, and see family we haven't seen in so many years. The wedding was lots of food and dancing....talk about feeling old. I couldn't even remember how to do the Macarena! 
My cousin Christie looked beautiful, and her wedding was so much fun. The girls danced the entired night with all of their cousins! 
Sunday, we celebrated my Sister's birthday at the Bowling Alley. It was sooo much fun. Probably more fun than usual because it was Sunday....just kidding. But we had a lot of family come and we bowled for 3 hours. The girls couldn't get enough. I even bowled a strike with Sienna on my hip....:) It was my only strike!
I baked my sister a lovely cake of course. :) That was a challenge baking it in Houston, making the pudding, and icing, and then taking it to Orange and putting it together in the hotel...I felt like Duff off Ace of Cakes. :) But I was glad to make her a cake. It was fun. 
Then Sunday night we went to a yummy Mexican restaurant for her birthday and dinner! I think she had a great birthday. Everyone else enjoyed it too! 
Monday we drove 2 1/2 more hours to Nacogdoches, Texas (The oldest town in texas) to prepare for my mom's wedding on Tuesday. We went to the rehearsal....then went to dinner at "The Cotton Patch!" Yum! Chicken fried Chicken...oh my goodness....It was so delicious, and the cheese fries...wow! 
Tuesday, we got my mom's hair and makeup all ready, and although Jayda had a high fever, got the girls' dressed and flew up to the church. Her ward took such good care of her...what a blessing...they made her a great cake....decorated the church so beautifully, made all the food...it was amazing.
My sister and I were bridesmaids, Mia and Halle were flower girls, and Jayda was the ring girl. We walked into the chapel Me, my sister, then Mia, Halle, and Jayda. Mia was suppose to throw her flowers on the floor, and by the time she got 3/4 of the way to the front...she hadn't dropped any and Nelson was there, he told her to throw the flowers....so she threw the entire basket! It was hilarious...I couldn't stop laughing! It was a beautiful ceremony and my mom looked beautiful. She is so happy! I am happy for her. We had so much fun. We were so happy to see everyone and visit...and of course to eat great food. :) I gained 4 pounds! But I loved every bite! It was so much fun, and I am waiting for my sister to send me all her pics of my mom's wedding, but I have added the slide show so you can see all the pics of everything...if you didn't get enough! :)
