Bridal Luncheon:
The BEST Chicken Salad Ive ever hadand I dont usually like C.S.
Getting ready to go out for the wedding!
After the ceremony:
The rest of our Forgie girls (the leadership program we were in is called The Forge)
The cake had little pull strings in it. Instead of a garter/bouquet toss, the single ladies (and in this case, some guys as well) pulled a string and hoped for a ring. Its one of the Chilean traditions that they incorporated.
Monday, like I said earlier, we had job interviews at a school in Dallas. We decided to make a day out of it and stopped by DBU (where we went to college) to visit people. Then we went out to eat, went shopping, and had dinner with a friend.
So Ive been back at work for the past three days, and then were leaving as soon as I get off work today (around 4:00) to go on vacation!!!!!! Were going to San Antonio, TX to visit Michaels family and vacation at the same time. Heres the plan so far:
Thursday: Drive to SAarrive around 10pm
Friday: MICHAELS BIRTHDAY!!! Sleep in, possibly play mini-golf and go to a family fun center he used to work at, go to downtown SA and eat at Azuca's and possibly stay for Salsa dancing!
Saturday: Hang around SA. Possibly visit some of the old missions and the Riverwalk, eat at the Cool Café
Sunday: Get up and head to the Port Aransas Beach! Michaels aunts and uncles (on his dads side) have a condo at Port A, and they go there every 4th of July week. Swim, fish, lay out, have family time, watch fireworks from the beach
Monday: Hang out at the beach some more, then drive to Corpus Christi to visit Michaels Grandma and possibly some other family (on his moms side).
Tuesday: Leave Corpus sometime in the afternoon and go back to SA to relax
Wednesday: Go to Six Flags Fiesta TX! Im really excited about this because theres a water park connected to itso now when I feel sick to my stomach and like an old person (remember Six Flags last year?!), we can go to the water park!
Thursday: Go to Schlitterbahn Water Park!!! This is voted the best water park in the nation, and I cant wait!! Michaels been a ton, but Ive never been. It has three water parks in one, and its so big that you have to ride a tram from one area to the other. (Ohand Michaels parents are planning on going to Six Flags and Schlitterbahn with us, so that should be interesting/fun.)
Friday: Hang out at the house. Were also going to try to visit my aunt who lives in SA either the weekend before we go to Port A, or this day.
Saturday: Sleep in, spend some more time with his fam, head back to OK. Were also going to try to meet up with jenjolt and her husband in Austin, so hopefully thatll work out! Theres a super yummy Italian restaurant there that I want to take Michael to. And then itll be back to the real world for us!
Again, Im SOOOO sorry that I havent updated in forever, and that its taken me forever and a day to write this TR. Ill have our when we get back from vacation. Ohand we started a blog, so if youd like the address, PM me and Ill give it to you. I need some way to update and share pictures now that this TR is almost over!
Thank you SO much for sticking with me through this not-so-prompt TR. I really, really appreciate all of you!

I guess especially because DH & I hardly ever have anything going on with us. 
I really LOVE the blue of that bridesmaids dress you wore! And the programs you made for the other wedding look awesome! How great of you to step in as wedding coordinator at the last minute. 
Business is way better than boredom. But the vacation was just what we needed! It was great to just chill out for a week.
We're super busy most of the time... Thanks! It was great to pick a dress that I knew I'd wear again. I got the program idea from another friend's wedding--perfect for outside summer weddings! It was good to be able to help them...it was headed for disaster. So I'm glad we could be there for them! 
I'll try to get the wrap-up today or tomorrow. I'm sad it's ending, but it's WAY past time!!
I'm so happy for you and your FIANCE! 
God will take care of everything. He always does. When Michael and I got engaged, neither of us had full-time jobs. I was at a leadership program where we weren't allowed to have jobs, and he didn't know what he was going to do. He worked at Target for a while just to start saving and stuff, and then the job at the church all fell into place. But we were engaged 6 months (out of almost a year) without jobs. It'll work--even if you can't see how right now!!
