My Last Fling Before The RING!!!

Let me start by saying that I have the BEST FRIENDS anyone can ask for! This weekend five of my very best friends and I went to Beaver Lake in Arkansas to celebrate my bachelorette party. Kaleigh's parents have a great house on the lake and they were nice enough to let us have it for the weekend. Kaleigh, Jenna and I drove down Friday morning; it is about a 3 hour drive, not to bad!
Kaleigh was nice enough to drive all weekend, but only Jenna was conceded about watching the road!
The view was amazing; you can see a little bit of the dock :-)

Kaleigh, Jenna and I got the jet skis out for a little while, before it started raining. We went into town and had drinks and dinner. Lizzie, Kirsten and Britney got in around 10. We had a great time just hanging out and being silly. Saturday morning we spent on the dock laying out. All 6 of us took the jet skis out, and had a BLAST! Afterwards we went into town again. It is a cute little lake town with a lot of great shops. We got an old time picture taken, which I love doing! Then had snack: funnel cakes, fried oreos and pretzels! Soooo good! We got back to the cabin and the party started.... :-)
All of us on the dock.

Lizzie, Kirsten and I got masks at one the shops!

Great friends!

It isn't summer without the Fair!!

Yesterday was the first day of the Johnson County Fair; however, most of the animals and vendors won't be there until Tuesday or Wednesday. My mom and sister stay in the motor home during the week so I helped them pack it up and drive it down to the fairgrounds around noon. The day started out so hot, and I was just praying for a little breeze. My prayers were answered, the winds came in and with them, the rain. It only rained for about 15 minutes, but it was enough to drop the temperature to bearable. The dog show started at 6:30 and we didn't leave until about 11:30. It was a great show, of course my sister and cousin did a great job also!!

Andrea shows three dogs. She is at the highest level in obedience there is with Lily, and Emmett isn't far behind. He gets more cute points!

Girls Night

This year the show Mama Mia came to Starlight; I can't think of a better reason to have a family girls night!! We all meet at my grandma's house so we could ride together. We went to the Well for dinner, it was really good food, and even better company. After dinner we headed to the show. It was so hot, but fortunately they were handing out hand fans at the entrance. The show was amazing, and soooo much fun! My Aunt Alison bought the sound track and we sang along the whole ride home. It was really great to all be together and see a show was all love so much!

We weren't allowed to take pictures during the show, so I got one right before it started!
