Where Have I Been? Part One, Wedding

Hi friends!

I had a very fun and eventful past two weeks....but I'm happy to be back!  We kicked off our fun-filled vacation with my friend Diane's Wedding Weekend!  Diane has been my friend since 7th grade and did track with me in junior high, highschool, and college.  She is my oldest friend!

We started of the wedding day (Saturday, July 16th) bright and early at the hair dresser's.  I wasn't a fan of my hair stylist (she pretty much told me she despised me because she had to deal with my thick hair) but I thought all of our hair turned out pretty great.  Diane picked an awesome hairstyle for us bridesmaids.  I love the side bun!

 We spent 7:30 am - 1:00 Getting our hair done, getting ready at Diane's parent's house, and taking pictures.  It is a lot of work getting ready for a wedding, but I absolutely loved the dresses, shoes, earrings, bracelets, and flowers Diane picked out for us.  I loved wearing this dress!

I swear I slept over Diane's house every weekend in 7th grade.

In the limo with Beth!!

SHE IS SO PRETTY!!!  Love the hair, makeup, dress, tiara....she looked perfect!

My escort Dave, who is Diane's brother-in-law.

There she is!!  It was soo cute when Christ saw her at the alter.  They looked so happy!

We had a lot of fun at the reception - and he even matched his tie to me :)

 It was a great day and it was so neat to think that I was in the wedding of someone I have been friends with since 7th grade.  This is why I love running - I met Diane during Cross-Country practice in 7th grade and have been friends ever since!

The reception was great and what was even better was that the next morning we would be flying to Mexico!!!
