My Best Friend's Wedding

Hey there! I know it's been a while. I have been so busy lately and just haven't had a chance to sit down. Courtney and Vinny's wedding was this weekend and I had so much fun! We had the bachelorette on Thursday night. We ate dinner and then went dancing downtown. Courtney got silly drunk and so did the rest of us. We went to this gay nightclub downtown called Effex that has a rooftop dance floor. As Allie exclaimed on the way downtown, douchebags are afraid of gay people so the night was thankfully douchebag free and the only person who groped me on the dance floor was a gay guy who exclaimed "these are fantastic" while, to my surprise and shock, he grabbed my breasts! I didn't even have time to react. This would normally warrant a slap in the face but somehow coming from him, I took it as a compliment.

I somehow survived off of 3 hours of sleep and made it from work to the rehearsal Friday night. The venue, Nature Pointe, was really scenic and pretty. The wedding went off without a hitch on Saturday (except for the two who got hitched of course, haha) and everything just turned out so beautiful and amazing. I'm posting a few of the pictures I stole from other people below. Courtney looked absolutely beautiful!

I got to see some old friends I hadn't seen in a while including my old boss and great friend Darek, who was officiating the wedding, and my ex-boyfriend, Andrew and his new girlfriend. Seeing the old beau with the new girlfriend wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought it'd be. She was super sweet and cute and Andrew and I got to catch up a bit which was nice. I think if I weren't so happy with my current boyfriend, it would have been a lot harder. I think seeing him will always be a little hard for me but I guess I feel like I finally have the closure I've been looking for and there are no hard/hurt feelings on my end anymore.  So all in all, it was good to see him.

Before the wedding shenanigans, I was in Taos for work. It was the graduation session for the Core class so we got to have a bit of fun and rafted the "Racecourse" on the Rio Grande. I somehow managed to end up in the front of the raft and was soaked but smiling by the end. I'm starting to think I do well with raft guides because both the one I had in Farmington and the one in Taos were a bit sweet on me. Or it could just be that I am the only "young" person in the group (young as in under 35). Probably the latter, but still flattering to be hit on by tanned, boyish 22-ish year olds. I guess I've still got it : ). And I've been feeling a bit down on myself lately since I haven't been exercising and eating as well again. But I did sign up for some more Yoga classes so I'll be starting those up again this week and I can't wait.
