No Ordinary Party

WARNING: Nerd Alert!!!
In honor of Breaking Dawn, coming out I just had to have a party! (As if I've ever really needed an excuse.) It was an evening filled with cocktails, Taylor Lautner, food, Taylor Lautner, the movie and oh, did I mention Taylor Lautner? Bless his heart, he can't act but he can wash your shirt on his abs!

I lucked out and found all this Twilight themed supplies at Party City, marked down to .50 because it was from Eclipse. So I just bought the generic Twilight themed items.

I printed off these cute quotes and drink labels online and put them in frames I already had around the house.

My friend, Whitney, brought over lots of yummy snacks!

Team Jacob!

At the movie! PS: Everyone was our age or older, I think I saw maybe 1 or 2 teenagers. They said the average aged woman who attended was 37 1/2. Weird.

Happy Thanksgiving, Y'all!

Blogger issues and a busy schedule has caused me to be a slacker with the blog. Here's the link to a snippet of our engagement pictures. Kevin Barre is an amazing photographer!

This one is my favorite:

Headed to Colorado tonight with the fiancee, future in-laws and soon to be grandmom-in-law for Thanksgiving. Lil bro will be home, too. It's going to be a fun weekend, culminating in an engagement party given by my parents. Really looking forward to hanging out with my brother. If you'll remember, here we are back in 2009's Thanksgiving festivities:

Have a blessed holiday and safe travels to everyone!

Thanks: Day 11

Yes, I admit I have been terrible at keeping up with this. Blogger has been acting weird lately and wouldn't let me add pictures, my mom was in town last weekend and work is crazy busy. I know, excuses, excuses. I will post later of all the things I'm thankful for from the past few days but today I want to focus on something I am extremely thankful for every day, but especially today I am thankful for our veterans.

I am so thankful that I live in this wonderful country, which is only wonderful because of the men and women who have been willing to fight for our freedoms in the past, currently and in the future. I've had so many in my life. My grandfather fought in the Battle of the Bulge in WWII, I've had many friends from high school who have served (including my friend, Eric who took me to the Miltary Inaugural Ball. Remember this?) I am most thankful for my younger brother, Kyle, who is serving in the Marines as we speak. While he is still in training at this point, his efforts are great and I know he will serve proudly no matter where he is stationed. Here is the post from his graduation from bootcamp.

Just remember: While you're enjoying the day off because of this holiday, or complaining that you don't get it off (as I was), these men and women don't get a day off.

God bless America!
