Car Show

On the way home from helping with our hands in a park (I took no pictures of that event) painting and gardening, we decided to stop by the car show that was so fortuitously happening a few blocks away.

We didn't dress up as we ought, though we did decide to ditch our bright yellow shirts, but luckily the car show takes all types.

A purple car? Just the first of many. (Purple cars)

It's a nice car, but I'm still going to look around to see if I can upgrade to a better one.

Hello Don Antonio car! If only you had come full of free tacos.

She knew a car would call to her, and call it did. Baaaa

Also calling to her: 60+ year old men who want to take their pictures with her on their motorcycles. If you're wondering what she's got her feet in they are stirrups. There's a stethoscope on the back of the bike too. Yep, Bon definitely scored today. If things don't work out with the teaching gig nbd because this guy will take care of her forever. Or at least for 5-10 more years.

Sometimes Saturdays are even better than you expect.

A Short Dance Clip

Ta-da! The wedding dancing video. Or some of it anyway. And posted on the next day to boot. I. Am. GOOD. This will just give you a small taste of the wonders the wedding held.

The first song, apparently, is quite popular amongst school aged children and other people who line dance. I'd never heard it before but I was clearly in the minority. If only Amy had convinced Kim to get out there. I would've recorded the whole song and dedicated an entire post to dancing Kim. And it would've been titled "dancing Kim." But, as Nicki would always say "if wishes were fishes we'd all live in the sea." I never quite got that. We'd live in the sea because we'd want to be close to our wishes? ....What?

Anyway. The point is Kim, for someone who claims to want a blog nod you're certainly not trying very hard to earn it. But if you try out for SYTYCD I will forgive you.

The second song in the video is far less important than checking out the K&M moves. Well on their way to being the hit dancers at the stake dances in ten years.

M&B

Yep it's official. They got married. In Vegas. And it was wonderful. Even though I didn't have time to ride any rollercoasters, see Cher (or Donny and Marie for that matter), eat at the Buffet o' Buffets (to which you can get an all day pass), watch the big fight, shoot any semi-automatic weapons you can only shoot in Vegas or in the army, try my hand at poker or even stick one quarter in the slots, I'd still say this was one of the best trips to Vegas ever.

The bride was gorgeous, the groom was handsome, the wedding was beautiful and the reception was awesome. Even the elements cooperated for the evening and resulted in one heck of a party without anyone's perfectly coiffed hair getting blown all over the place by the wind. That may not seem like a big deal, but trust me, at the time it was. But wind or not, I was sold as soon as I saw the bottles of root beer. Woo hoo - lets get this party started!

I'd post more pictures of the reception but I don't want to make everyone jealous like I did with C&B's reception photos. There wasn't much horseshoe playing this time but there was some line dancing type stuff going on. In fact I think I may just have to post some dancing videos here later (when I'm not about to fall asleep...I should stop blogging at times when I really should be asleep; I tend to start making empty promises that I'll feel guilty about for the entire two month period in between when I said "more to come!" and when I next posted about something completely unrelated to the "more to come" post).

In addition to the reception fun, at night in our hotel rooms we also enjoyed our own version of blackjack with Rook cards and peanut butter m&ms as the currency of choice. I started out okay but when Bryn kept getting 21 every time the rest of us soon found ourselves m&m-less. Leah might have given Bryn a run for her money if she could've remembered to stop eating her cash.

Just a sidenote on the trip, I spent a decent amount of time driving around and, no offense Vegas, but your drivers are not good. What's with going 60mph on the freeway and then coming to a dead stop for no discernible reason in a matter of a few hundred yards? One instance of that I can forgive. But multiple? C'mon. ...On the brightside I didn't get into any accidents so all's well that ends well?

I've gotten totally off track from the original purpose of this post which was to say M&B got married and it was fantastic and I'm really happy for both of them!


Congrats kids. And all the best to both of you.

....also, I can stay at your place when I'm driving home from work and don't want to go all the way back to my place, right? ....Right?
