What an exciting, family
and friend packed weekend we had! Some of Chad's family came in town and around
twenty people met at Chad's mom's to help us continue celebrating our
engagement! His mom made us a cake with our favorite candy. Reese's and Tootsie
Roll pops are my favorites and the Skittles, Pixie Stix, and Gummy Watermelons
are Chad's favorites. Mrs. Lisa did such a good job on the cake!!

Leah made us a chocolate-iced yellow cake. We are definitely dessert people. Clearly, I need to learn how to cook and decorate cakes to fit in
with Chad's creative family.
Chad's mom had the
kitchen and den decorated with our pictures and she even had a bowl of
chocolates with our pictures.

My parents came up and
stayed with me Friday night and we woke up and did some shopping Saturday before they
headed back to Troy.
Crystal came to visit us
for a GIRLS' NIGHT on Saturday!!!!
Allise and I both LOVE
IT when Crystal comes to visit!! We went to Sips N Strokes and painted
guitars.
At Sips N Strokes, you
bring your beverage of choice and paint!! They provide the canvas, paint,
brushes and all other supplies you need. At the end of the night, you take your painting with you. I have painted some disasters at Sips
N Strokes in the past, but I think our guitars turned out pretty well!
Few things in life are
better than getting to spend a weekend with both FRIENDS and FAMILY!
