Busy, Busy, Busy

The title sums up how I feel we have been this past month. Every weekend we have had something to do. It all started 4th of July weekend..but no sense in talking about that again...just scroll down if you need a quick refresher! :) The following weekend we celebrated Cody and Lindsey's wedding, friends of ours. This is their first dance picture..but let's get back to the wedding!Let me tell you that was an exhausting, but fun filled weekend. Lindsey M and I were the runners, the steamers, the send 'em down the aislers, and a little of everything else in between, but MAN we enjoy ourselves. We decided that we should go into business after a really good day of teamwork and success. I won't lie..we did a little dance in the foyer of the church when the bride made it down the aisle..celebrated that little moment and then found ourselves a seat! We danced the night away at the reception with a little Twist..Cha Cha slide..and more!I could have a biased opinion..maybe..possibly..but I think I had the best looking dancing partner on the floor!! Although..I can't lie I think that we all had a mini-crush on the photographer...he looked exactly like Dr. McSteamy for those Grey's Anatomy watchers out there! Just throwing that out there...Alright so moving on..the next weekend we thought we had off, but that plan was thrown to the wayside when news of a charity softball tournament made its way to this household. The wives of the men spent Friday night ironing on numbers and names to shirts with the intention that they would be worn quite a bit the next day! Don't they look fabulous! :) We even made shirts for ourselves to support our men...I mean team! ;) And yes my shirt was suppose to say "Shrewsbury's Wife"..but it was too long to fit the " 's" on the shirt so I am THE Shrewsbury wife! haha It was a first! Claud always fit on everything..test bubble things...shirts...anything..now Shrewsbury not so much! Well, to our wonderful surprise a tournament with 12 teams went down to 6 then 4..3..and finally just 2! It was us and the "Domestic Angels" and there was nothing angelic about this team so I think they should really consider a name change! A double elimination tournament turned into best 3 out of 5 after defeating the other team twice! So needless to say it started getting nasty by the end of the day..swinging for the pitcher..yelling..screaming..name calling! AHHH that's what I did! So we left our 2nd place trophy and got out of there. The whole thing was for charity and they ruined it! But our team got along great and played really well even if they lost what they originally had won! The next day we celebrated my sister Moriah's 18th birthday! I can't believe how old we are! I am almost 21, Libby will be 17 in Dec. and Regina will be 23 on Friday! This is insanity! Anyways, we enjoyed some grilled food and socializing with my family and friends for Moriah's birthday! She actually bought herself her first car last Friday, so happy birthday to her! Now where was I...Oh yeah it was during this week that I decided to rid myself of all the blondeness and go back to my brunette ways..getting use to it, but liking it! Ok so back to the busy life of the Shrewsbury's...This weekend was no fun for me! Yesterday I took my final two PRAXIS test. And I think we all need to take a quick moment to breathe..ok that was for me really, but I honestly do not think that it went very well! I am generally one of those who says "I failed!" and then don't but really, truly, honestly I do not have a good feeling about this one! I just want to know why getting your degree comes down to four little, strike that, big tests anyways! I then came home and had to take yet another quiz for a class that I am taking online..so needless to say my brain was officially burnt out by 5:30 last night! We went out to eat with Cody and Lindsey in Nashville and had a great night! Oh but to go along with the not so wonderful day..I got pooped on in the hair by a stupid bird while walking downtown! And the strap on the beach cover up...I mean long green dress that I love...was hanging on by string so we had to stop at a convient store to get a safety pin. I did not want to be the next wardrobe malfunction! Janet has that title..I'll let her keep it! But overall it was a great night and I enjoyed myself regardless of how not so wonderful I make it sound! :) Today I decided to take the day off! We went to church this morning, ate lunch, and although I did a little laundry, I took the day off! The 2 hour nap helped tremendously too! We have had a lot going on it seems..birthdays..work..schoolwork (which will thankfully be over with next week!)...wedding...and everything else that has been going on! It has been one busy month for sure, but it has been enjoyable! Up next for August is our 1 year anniversary! YAY!!
