Sara's Shenanigans: Summer Lovin......

What a whirlwind summer this has been. I have desperately been slacking on this blog, sorry for the lack of Friday Favs I have been so busy. Whoever said July was the busiest month for weddings hit it spot on! First my parents-in-laws 32nd wedding anniversary July 13th. My mom and I turned back the time and celebrated with them 70's style at the Steve Miller Band. It was awesome! VIP entrance, VIP buffet dinner and drinks and then the air filled with the smell of smoke, great music and drunk hippies dancing in the isles all while watching from the 3rd row! Oh how I wish I lived in the 70's.

Next up was my anniversary. I got to celebrate my 2nd anniversary with my amazing husband. If you all remember I planned a surprise trip for our one year anniversary to Silver Mountain Resort, so it was his turn to do the surprising, which I'm not too fond of. I hate all of that suspense! Well he did good. We went for a picnic at Manito park with one of my favorite food PF Changs, I'm salivating just thinking about it! We walked around the park for hours just enjoying each other's company. Then we came home to get all spruced up and he surprised me again with a room for the night at Hotel Lusso, now owned by The Davenport. It is so beautiful with its shabby boutique decorating. We had an amazing 5th floor suite. He also decorated with a bouquet of flowers and daisies on the bed, oh how I love him! We had dinner reservations at Raw Sushi Island Grill. We followed up with desert at the Melting Pot, mmmm and ended the perfect night with the last Harry Potter movie 3-D at the Imax! What a fantastic anniversary.

Two days later was my sister Amy's 4th anniversary on July 21st. They spent the day driving from Portland to Spokane for the last Riding's girl to take the plunge and get married on July 23rd.

July 23rd was a beautiful day. Holly and Kyle Snell exchanged vows under the sunset at Arbor Crest Winery. It was perfect and everyone looked so gorgeous. I got to celebrate with close family and friends and of course we danced the night away, literally at the venue and then we Just Danced it up at my house!

Whew! I thought we were done celebrating in July, but on July 30th I got to celebrate my besties last day of freedom! haha...Kellie Malsom's bachelorette party. What a night. It all started at 4:30 pm. Who starts so early, we do! First Pure Romance party with Pink Panty Droppers of course, followed by dinner at Raw, wait I was just there for my anniversary. Then a night on the town of getting serenaded on the street, sitting on pianos, taking blow jobs (the drink of course we are not those kind of girls) and dancing it up! What a party.

Sorry so long winded but we are not done. Kellie's wedding was the following week on August 4th. We celebrated yet another wedding at A Touch of Country in Rockford, WA. My best friend since 2nd grade also took the plunge. I was so excited for her and the wedding went beautifully, well almost until the pastor was an hour late but that is another story. We had a blast anyway and I'm so glad I don't have to give another toast speech again, well I hope! well that was my summer so far. I told you it was a wild whirlwind but I wouldn't have changed it one bit even though it was stressful helping with the weddings, planning bachelorette parties, spending many of nights writing my speech. I love my friends and family and it is all worth it in the end. Hopefully I can get back into my normal routine. Look for my Friday Favs to start back up next week. Here are a few pics of what I got to witness and attend on my summer whirlwind.....
