Just Another Manic Monday!

Greetings, you gorgeous people, you!

Last week was quite a fun and eventful week! As I told you before, I had a Phi Beta Lambda conference that I attended over my fall break. It was nice to get back into the swing of things with PBL. We had a break off session that consisted of taking a couple tests dealing with business. I took a Business Marketing skills test and jokingly thought I'd place. Low and behold, I ended up getting third in the test! It was a good time! :)

Such a fun group of people!

Ashley and I at dinner! Love this girl!

Ashley and Cody got married this past weekend. Not only was the weather beautiful, but the wedding was absolutely amazing. There was so much love in the air, it was just great! I am so blessed to have had the chance to stand by Ashley on her wedding day and witness a sacrament full of love, joy and happiness that brings so many people together.

I had the great pleasure of attending grade school with Ashley as a young lady. There are so many memories between the two of us. From fighting to being that shoulder to cry on, we've been through it all. Who knew there could be so much drama in grade school? At a little Catholic school for that matter, haha. ;) Ashley is one of those friends where we can pick up exactly where we left off, even if we don't see one another for a couple months. I have definitely been blessed to call this girl one of my best friends since Kindergarten. 

What's really cool about this is that I also went to school with Cody! Our friendship wasn't as close Ashley and I's, but we always kept in touch throughout high school. When Ashley first told me her and Cody were dating I said, "Cody Williams??" I'm sure she thought I was crazy for saying that, but I am so happy that they found each other and are happier than ever! It's been an honor getting to see them grow as a couple and now as one! I am entirely grateful to be a part of this amazing journey God has paved out for her and Cody.

 

All the bridesmaids during rehearsal dinner! Cody's family made the hall so beautiful!

Who knew a bridal party could be so close? Such gorgeous ladies!
Just a couple hours before the bid "I do!"

A classic pic with my amazing parents! I love these folks! :)

During the week, Suzanne and Brandon came up from Dallas to visit for the whole week. I am so glad we got to see them two and had a full week to spend time with them. I also got to meet the newest edition of the Reischman family last week! Christian is a little over two months old. It was so nice to finally give him some snuggly wugglys! :D

He's a teenage mutant ninja turtle! How adorable?

The family also took a nice day trip to Six Flags for Rolen's birthday. I found out the next morning that my body is too old for the coasters... ;/ haha. We did have a great time and I think Rolen enjoyed the fact that everyone got to spend his birthday with him at SIX FLAGS! That kid is something else! :) Check out the pics from our adventurous day!

These two never fail to bring a smiles and laughter to anyone. I wonder who they take after? ;)

Had such a fun time on the American Thunder ride! One of my favorites!

This weekend I get to Becca, Josh and the little rascal (Isaiah.) It's been too long! :) I can't wait to see all the nieces/nephews dressed up for Halloween! I hope you enjoyed catching up with me and what's going on in my life. For now, that's all folks!

Have a blessed rest of the week!

With love,
