Travis and Meghan's Wedding

We drove to Austin in June for Travis and Meghan's wedding at Lake Travis. It was beautiful, but a little hot! The bride and groom were glowing though. Travis and Lance and Harvey and I grew up together on Brooks Drive. We lived 1 house away from each other. We would be over at Travis' house all the time growing up. I was always the odd 'man' out b/c I was a girl so I didn't participate much in the baseball games. I didn't let them run me down on the trampoline though. I broke my arm at their house when I was 7 when Travis and I decided to push the tramp up against the neighbor's garage and jump off the garage roof onto the trampoline below. It didn't work out so well for me. I had to have surgery and get a pin inserted into my arm. My poor mother tried to make me into a lady. I was even wearing a sun dress when this whole thing went down. :) Much to my chagrin, they cut the dress off me in the E.R. to examine my arm. I loved that dress!! Back to their wedding. It was a great night. They had a live band and good food. We got to watch the sunset on Lake Travis...although it was a little depressing to see how far down the lake level had gotten. Haley watched Lefty during the wedding at her condo near Zilker Park. Of course, Lefty bonded with Haley almost instantly and almost wore herself out chasing Haley up and down the stairs at her townhouse. It was a great weekend. Congrats and best wishes to Travis and Meghan!!

Last week we traveled to Lubbock for Lance and Nicole's wedding. Lance is like a second brother to me. We grew up two doors down from each other and I was always over at their house with my brother. I guess I was kind of a mis-fit....there were three guys and me! I wouldn't say I was a tomboy, but I did my fair share of hanging out with the guys while I was growing up. I broke my arm at their house when Travis and I had a trampoline contest. The catch was that we were jumping onto the tramp from the roof of the next-door neighbor's garage. It was a beautiful rehearsal dinner and wedding and we got to see our friends from Kansas - Ashley, Dan, Madison, Gail, and Phil. The rehearsal dinner was at the Texas Tech AT&T Jones Stadium. They reserved a whole floor where the suites are for the dinner. For the cocktail hour, we got to hang at in the suites-- very cool. It was a neat view. Of course, I brought my camera to some of the events, but didn't take any pics. Thankfully, Ashley sent me the pictures she took. Amazing that a mommy with an 18-month old has her stuff more together than I do. Thanks Ash! We stayed with Leland's relatives, Ann and Jim, and had a great time catching up with them.

We also visited the Buddy Holly museum and we are pictured at the top of the post in front of the oversized glasses in front of the museum.
