June 7

Today we had plans to go to church with Jared and Christelle, then to have them over for lunch. Well, we didn't quite make it to church... getting in at 2:30 a.m. the night before really didn't leave us much sleeping time. (Whoops!)

But we did still have them over for lunch as planned, and we had so much fun with Mr. Rylan! He's getting so big, responsive, and mobile! He has the funniest laugh, and he's finally at the age where he interacts and plays! It was fun to see them again!

Today was a big day!

First, I helped host a bridal shower for my good friend, Ashley (she's in the middle in the turquoise). It was fun to watch her getting all kinds of good stuff that she'll use in her new life with Collin.

Next, we headed to the brand new Dallas Cowboys Stadium to see George Strait in concert (with Leann Womack, Blake Shelton, and REBA!) We went with Sarah and Owen and had such a great time! (That is, after we moved sections when the speaker in front of ours was cutting in and out, producing nothing but incoherent reverb!) As always, George was amazing, and except for almost getting in a fight with some drunk people, we had a completely wonderful time.

After the concert, it took us forever to get home! It took about an hour to get out of the parking lot alone, and then we tried to stop at [Sarah's favorite] Wendy's to get something to eat, but they took so long that we finally left the drive-thru after 20 minutes of waiting to get to the speaker. Then, we found a Sonic, waited another 30 minutes in that drive-thru, and when we got to the window, they gave us the food for free! We ended up getting home at about 2:30 a.m., and we were exhausted! But it was worth it!!

Today, my wonderful husband took Maggie to the groomer for me (it's so nice to have him around! He's always willing to run errands for me!) and I was so excited to see that not only did they do a great job on her haircut, but they put the cutest little purple bows in her hair! She looked like such a girl dog! Of course, little bows never last long with her, but I enjoy them while I can!

It's birthday lunch day! Today during work, we went to Genghis Grill to celebrate Eric and Sharon's birthdays, and oh man, is that place awesome. It was nice to celebrate good friends and eat some good food!

Today was free root beer float night at Sonic! Because we like to reward that kind of behavior, my parents, Chris, and I all headed out to Sonic right at 8 p.m. to get our free root beer floats! It was very crowded, but worth the wait! Yay, free!

I've been having so much fun designing and "building" Ashley's lingerie shower/bachelorette party invites! Today, I finally finished them, and they're ready to send out!

I have a love/hate relationship with video projects at work. They are a lot more work, and often times they're frustrating, but man, do I love the opportunity to do something different, be a little creative, and learn how to do new things. Today, I learned a lot about chroma key (thanks in part to Owen!).

Basically, chroma key replaces a green screen with transparency so you can put any background you want behind your subject. This is how they do the weather on the news, and this is what I do at work when Chuck records in front of the green screen.
