Summer Lovin

Whew! This past week has been seriously fun and seriously exhausting. By the time the actual night of the 4th of July rolled around, I was in bed watching about a dozen romantic comedies, even though the fireworks kept drowning out Mathew Mcconaughey southern accent. Here’s proof of huge amount of funness (with some photos left over from the week or so before)…

Caravans and Cauldrons

Thursday night, Cathy and The Fiances (the name of our do-whop group, if we ever decide to have one) drove over to Little Rock for a night of big rock. American Princes had their CD release show and The Good Fear opened, so us girls decided to follow ’em down. After missing two out of the two interstate exits that we had to take to find the show AND dodging a cracked out guy who persisted that he “was not a robber,” we ladies got there just in time for tequila shots and the begining of the show.


Taken!

The (Damn) Good Fear

American Princes


After the show we walked over to this old abandoned house, well, frame of a house. Brian and Tim jumped the fence and explored, while the rest of us just stood back and snapped grainy pictures in the dark. After a 1:30 am trip to Taco Bell, our four-car caravan ended up at a pricey Holiday Inn where with a sink full of Busch Light, things got a little crazy (especially with Cathy’s hair straightener).


All the dudes got their hair did & proceeded to take “MySpace band photos”

Bathroom Party

Shoe Shining

Bongos

The next day we found every kind of food we could imagine at some sort of indoor market downtown. After a nice little picnic by the river, we hunted down a record store, a witch boutique (?), and finally the city’s art museum. By the time we were fully recovered from the night before, we were on our way back to the ‘Ville.

Lots Lately

Everything has been hectic lately, but here are a million pictures that basically recap my last couple of weekends. Enjoy.

The night before our much anticipated Engagement Party:

The party!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who came and to everyone who helped out or drove from out of town. It really means so much to us. We will remember that night forever.
