A Shotgun Wedding Weekend

Saturday morning Bryan and I slept in which was huge. We both desperately needed the extra sleep. Then we drove to my parent's house on Lake Conroe and Dad took Bryan to the driving range. Apparently Bryan shows quite a bit of promise, which is more than anyone could ever say of me!

That evening Bryan and I drove to Tomball for Steven & Christy's wedding! They've been dating something like 7 years so they were quite ready to finally tie the knot. Steven is a friend of ours from A&M. The ceremony took place on Saturday, July 10, 2010 at 5:00pm in the chapel at Boy's and Girl's Country in Tomball.

Then we all drove about a mile down the road to Events, Etc. for their reception. The food and music were great. We didn't have any of the cake, but they looked pretty cutting it :) This was actually the 4th wedding we've attended since getting married ourselves. One of the really special parts of the whole thing was that their grandparents were celebrating their 50th (!) anniversary that day too and had the dance floor to themselves to dance to THEIR wedding song from a long time ago. It was really, really sweet and they could really dance!
Bryan and I mostly enjoyed the food, made casual conversation with strangers and did some boot-scooting. We had a lovely time.
Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Watson!



After the wedding we drove back to my parent's house because the next day we had planned a date with my parent's new toy, the jetski. It is sooo much fun. Dad & Bryan are particularly fun to watch while they "shred those waves." :)

By the time it was too toasty outside, we settled in to see who would win the World Cup. I had the best intentions in the world, but sometime during the second half I fell asleep. So much for the exciting high scoring game everyone predicted!! Well done, Spain.

What's better than soccer? Birthday presents! On Bryan's birthday back in April my parents gave Bryan a shotgun case with the promise of a shotgun before dove season (September). After the game we went to Gander Mountain and they found one!! It's a Remington 870 pump 12 gauge. Bryan is VERY excited.




A final bit of happy news?
Dad was able to get Bryan & I great tickets for the Rush concert in September! They're playing at the Woodland's Pavillion the weekend after our 1st anniversary. Bryan loves this band and I hear him playing their songs on his bass most evenings :)
Thank you, Dad!
