Time to Celebrate

These past few weeks have been SUPER DUPER busy. I honestly do not think we could have packed anything else into them! The festivities all started on Thursday, March 27th, when my sweet husband took me to see Chris Rock. It was my birthday present from him and we had a great time. The next night we celebrated with our families at Carrabbas and had some seriously delicious food. A few of the waitors even serenaded me with Happy Birthday in Italian...at least that's what they said they were singing! It's not like any of us would have known the difference:)


Jackson got his first taste of ordering off the menu at Carrabbas. He was so funny. I turned my head for maybe 2 seconds and looked back to see him shoving half a grilled chicken breast into his mouth! The look on his face was like "what? I'm hungry, lady!"


Here he is back at our house--we all got to have some Champagne cake and I opened presents. Thank you Mom, Dad, Jared, Jackson, Warren , Meme, Aunt Ruth, Colleen and Trey for a great night.


The next night was my actual birthday--I am now officially in my late twenties!! The big 28. We went to Mi Cocina, celebrated with friends, and drank some very good Mambo Taxis:)



The next day was my sister's baby shower. She's due in a few weeks, but will probably have the baby by Monday. I'll keep everyone posted. The shower was really nice and we got some good pictures of the three Raines girls out back.


Onto the next weekend--Jenny and Dusty's big wedding. Here's us at The Iron Cactus with The Pointers and soon-to-be Webbs. The rehearsal dinner was fantastic--very yummy fajitas and such a neat restaurant.


Jared and me at the reception, and yes, I did do the airbrush tan! It was my first time, and I must admit I was a little apprehensive, but I'm so glad it turned out well. Way to go, babe, on matching my dress. (He claims it was an accident, but I think he secretly planned it)



Mom and Dad came out for the festivities, too. Doesn't my mom look so good?! She's a hot little number! Dad, you're a lucky man, but you probably already knew that.



We all had SUCH a good time at the wedding. All of us, even our husbands, danced till we couldn't dance any more! It was a lot of fun celebrating with such great friends. Hard to believe I've known Jenny since we were five and all of us girls have been friends since 9th grade. Love you girls!

I was just thinking the other day that it had been awhile since we talked. I had no idea you were so busy! I also didn't know it was your birthday! Happy belated Bday! I put it on my calendar, so next year I won't miss it!;)
