News

I know it's been a while since we've had a pregnancy update. The truth is, I am pregnant! We found out on Valentine's Day and are really excited. I've waited to post something, since we haven't been to the doctor yet, but I just couldn't hold it in any longer!!!! We will go to the doctor on March 30 and from there find out the due date and hopefully see the baby. I will definitely keep this updated.

Pot-luck weddings

Ok, I know we live in Oklahoma and we are very near to Arkansas, but still.....I have never been invited to a pot-luck wedding reception, until now. We went a few weeks ago, and granted the wedding was nice (it only lasted 7 minutes), though the minister was a little creepy. The reception was interesting. It was held at the American Legion (and apparently if you're not old and a veteran/current military person you can't come in). I've never heard of this place before (naive as I may be), so as we go in the dance hall side we are serenaded by the karaoke from the bar. I'm, at this point, almost in tears from laughing so much and people are bringing in their food. I have no idea what to bring to a pot-luck wedding, so we brought a salad. There was anything from roasted jalapenos to chili to deviled eggs. I was impressed by the spread but also cautious! We ate and talked and had a good time, but left when the real drinking started....it was getting late anyway.

This is only a brief glimpse of what the evening was like, but I can definitely say I've been to a pot-luck wedding!
