Eighty Six Photos

This post is an assortment of photos from all the things I’ve been busy with over the course of the last couple months. The most exciting thing I’ve saved for last – my best friend’s wedding!
So, here come a trillion photos…

Random shots…

The Paper Hearts played a couple of shows:

I’ve still be entering in Seth’s weekly MySpace Photo Challenge.
(Requirements: Moustache, Stick, & a Jug of Milk)
This was my (late) entry last week:

Somehow Northwest Arkansas got a Sephora and a Forever 21 on the same day. How did we get these stores before Memphis or Little Rock? I don’t know and I don’t care, cause I’m in love…

Last month Laura & I took a weekend trip to Memphis for Kerri’s Bridal Shower.
Here are just a couple from that trip.

I also turned 26!
I celebrated my old age by having a fancy dinner with friends & then a party.

A huge group went camping at Long Pool, AR (the same place we went last year).

Finally, I had the best three days ever in Memphis, getting ready for Kerri & Joel’s big day.

Bachelorette dinner & drinks on Thursday

Got manis & pedis a bit too early the next morning, but it turned out a fantastic way to start the day.

A delish rehearsal dinner at Bosco’s.

Getting ready on the wedding day…

Best bridesmaid shoes ever.

Wedding location pre-decoration.

Their guest book:

Pre-guests.

Setting up.

Post makeup.

Bridesmaids!

Best Groomsmen’s shoes ever.

My dad took these two (he played the music while they walked down the aisle):

They had a margarita machine & I had a poloroid camera.

Kerri’s dress was amazing!!! (handmade by her sister in Bali)

Once the wedding was all said and done I was exhausted. So what did I do?
Go to a Lucero show on Beale Street.
It turned out to be the perfect way to say goodbye to Memphis.

Dancin.

Sasha rules.

Posing w/ a fake Hulka Hogan.
Why did we do this?

PEACE!

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.
