Things I Never Thought I'd Be...

Speechless? Somehow though, the idea of writing my maid of honor speech for Miss Kelly Ann Shanley is leaving me with nothing to say. Or maybe it's just the opposite there is so much to say and not enough time to say it. What do you say to your best friend, of 10 years, the sister you didn't have, on the happiest day of her life?

Well let's be honest, she doesn't care what I say. It's her wedding day, she just wants to make sure I do not expose her deepest, darkest, secrets. Well, maybe not those, just her terrible stories that I have to remind her of every once and a while just so she knows someone hasn't forgotten. But the truth is, on her wedding day I know the last thing on Kelly's mind is my speech.

My friends, on the other hand, are taking bets, counting down, and well... have been excited about this since we all started thinking about weddings. I've threatened Kelly with heinous things I can do during the speech for the past 10 years probably and the truth is, I've talked about them so much, it won't have the shock factor I'm looking for. I will figure it out. I always do. I had three speeches prepared when I graduated high school so you would think this would come more naturally.

In other wedding news... no, I'm not engaged, let's be real. The other news is that yesterday I sent Angela the first draft of our wedding song for the Best/Shanley wedding. To be fair, that involves rhyming so it's impressive that it's done. This weekend during the JMU tailgate, we will rehearse. Lasso that!

The past few weeks have been fun. I had some sweet visitors the past few weekends. My sisters came two weeks ago in search of the beloved Dawson. Luckily for Ashley Jones, we found him :)

and enjoyed a night out :)

So we had this little thing called a Fall Concert last week and let me tell you, it was awesome. I could not have been prouder of my group. If I could get my phone to send pictures to my email properly I would show you. So, check out my facebook for a video for "Dare You to Move" by Switchfoot.

We also celebrated the birthday of one of my favorite friends, Miss Katherine Ann Kolkemeier by enjoying a night at Wine and Design where you get to bring your own wine and they teach you to paint :)

In closing, I'm confused why friends value taking pictures of me sleeping so damn much. I mean really, am I that cute when I sleep, or is it that I can just fall asleep ANYWHERE?

Just let me live, please :)
