what a weekend.

this weekend was filled with a LOT of family time. Ryan & I went to dinner @ Boomerang's on Garrison... they have THE best catfish ever. And then we went and saw Date Night - it was a really funny movie, and it was nice to get to go out with my parents!

Saturday, mom & i spent some time shopping for the wedding. it's crazy how you shop ALL day and get like 4 things... they will be important later im sure :)

After the shopping, I met up with Ryan and we headed up to Fayetteville - originally to watch the Red/White scrimmage because we love razorback football... but the crazy Arkansas weather ruined those plans, and we ended up meeting our great videographer Aaron Szabo ( http://imaginefilmcompany.com/ ) at Buffalo Wild Wings. He is completely amazing, and we are very excited to get to work with him. Also - we have THE BEST photographers in the world, too. Check them out! ( http://beatyphotography.com/ ).

We headed back to my house that evening, and my sister/jason/bella were there to spend the night. I got a great chunk of time with my niece this weekend, and it was wonderful! we talked, laughed, sang, and danced... she spit up - i gagged... it was great :) she's an absolute miracle and blessing to our family... adoption has truly shown its many blessings to us. --And really, bella marie is cutest baby i think i've ever seen!
