Family Fair Day!

Today, our family went to the Texas State Fair!

We all parked at a DART station and jumped on the train.

We walked the entire park, rode a bunch of rides, fed farm animals and ate a ton of food!

My mom and I rode the Love Bug, of course. It's a tradition for us!

 

We had to get a Fletcher's corn dog!

Wedding Dinner Tasting

On Friday night, we had a chef to my parents house to prepare our wedding dinner. 

We absolutely loved it!

He brought a few different fruits and cheeses

He made a few appetizers for us to try out

He made a few veggies and meats as well

He also brought some linens and glassware/serving-ware

Thanks so much for coming out Rico, we really enjoyed it

Texas Rangers ALDS Game 1

Chance and I love the Texas Rangers! We were so happy they clinched the ALDS. Luckily, since Chance works for the Rangers, we got tickets to the game and Chance and I attended the first one on Sunday.

Unfortunately, they lost to Toronto Blue Jays and will not move forward to the ALCS games.

My Bridesmaids said YES!

Saturday night, I invited my bridesmaids to my sisters (Stacey, Mandy, Mycah, Jocelyn. Unfortunately, Megan was unable to come).

We had some drinks and ate dinner and then went over to Sip N Doodle in Frisco. This is a BYOB painting class and it's always so much fun! This was mine and Stacey's second time, and the other girls' first time. 

While there, I pulled out wine bottles that had a cute note attached that read:

As I prepare for the day I am to be a bride

It would mean the world to have you sippin' by my side...

Will you be my Bridesmaid?

When you aren't on Mom duty...it's ok to let loose sometimes ;)

I love you girls and can't wait to marry the man of my dreams with you girls by my side. So sad Megan couldn't join tonight, but I asked her and she said YES as well!

I said Yes to the Dress!

Saturday morning, a few of us girls met at my parents house for Mimosas and fruit. 

We had a big day ahead of us, because I had an appointment to try on wedding dresses for the first time!

Chance's mom was sick and unable to come, so sad she missed it :(

Mom, sister Stacey, me, best friend Mycah, and sister Mandy

We arrived at the bridal salon and the owner pulled 6 dresses for me. 3 were dresses I had already picked out and knew I wanted to try on, and 3 were her picks.

The first one I tried on (owner pick), I hated!

2nd dress (my pick), disliked!

 3rd dress (owners pick and her favorite in the store), I liked the top, hated the bottom!

 

 4th dress (owners pick), I absolutely fell in love with! It was nothing I had imagined my dress would look like, but it was the most beautiful dress I've ever seen. When my girls started getting chill bumps and crying, we all knew it was the one! Can't post a pic now, but you will see it in 280 days!

5th dress (my pick). This one was too boring once I had found The One!

6th dress (my pick). I had always thought I wanted a strapless heart shape neckline, but this dress just wasn't doing it for me after I had found The One.

While we were all sitting there, we saw a dress on the mannequin. It was so pretty and all the girls loved it. Mycah and Stacey tried it on and stood next to me so we could decide if we liked it, and we loved it! Needless to say, we found my dress and the bridesmaid dresses in less than hour. This wedding planning stuff is so easy. Not sure why people stress so much over it, maybe it's because I have so much help from my mom, sisters and best friends :)
