You can't go wrong with more Roski's in the world

So I've been slacking on the blog postings and am now trying to make up for it!!  Unfortunately, I can't remember what I did last weekend...well at least not the whole weekend. 

Saturday night Kamm, Patrick, and I graced Broad Ripple with our presence at the bars.  We made some positive friends...and some negative ones.  We met some girl who went to IU so we asked if she was in the Greek system to which she replied "I don't take orders from my own sisters so I'm not going to take orders from sorority sisters."  Eeeeeee...  I also found out that it's really risky to ask someone if they were a bridesmaid in the wedding they just came from. Some people just have ugly dresses purely based on their own decisions.

Later in the night, I ran into an old friend of mine from high school!  Good to see you Alex!  The best part was that I think we're really starting to get Patrick to love Rock Lobster.  He's even starting to request that we go there! ;)  Pretty soon we'll be dragging him off the dance floor! 

This past weekend I do remember and it was fabulous!  Damla came into town on Thursday so I got to play with her for a little bit then.  I spent part of my day Friday baking some chocolate chip cookies for J.B. who couldn't make it down this weekend but I didn't want him to think that we weren't missing him!  Then Friday, we had family night.  It started off with a family trip to L.A. Fitness!!  That was pretty amusing.  After we worked up an appetite, we headed to Ocean World (of course!) for a lovely dinner! Then we headed back home where Damla and I entertained Mommy and Daddy with funny stories until it was time to go to bed!  

Saturday we woke up with the intention of playing tennis but due to all the recent rainy weather, that was canceled.  We instead played "Let's go shopping in Emel's closet" which is Damla's favorite game.  She ended up with some good stuff if I do say so myself!  

Then it was time for me to start getting ready for Roski and Katie's wedding!!  I was a little nervous because I didn't know how many people I would actually know at the wedding but it ended up being a really good time!  Kyle came all the way down from Midland because he too fell in love with Roski and Katie back when we went to Aaron Lewis's wedding.  They're just that couple that you can't help but love!  We had a really fun table at the wedding and broke it down on the dance floor!   The DJ even dedicated a song to me!  That's how you know you've really made it at a wedding.  

I also have to say that one great part of the wedding was my sweet dress.  I was really excited to wear it and hearing how much every one else loved it made it all the better! :)  

So that brings us to Sunday which so far has been pretty uneventful but I'm sure I'll find something to do soon enough!  

Jujo and Pretzel get hitched!!

Well over the weekend, one of my favorite couples got married!! Congratulations Julie and Michael!

The wedding was at Independence Grove in Libertyville, IL. We headed out early Saturday morning so that we would make it on time. Being the super anal person that I am, I had a lot of anxiety about getting there on time. I've been late to weddings before and it's super embarrassing! I think it's all the construction that really gets to me too. But somehow we made it there with 10 minutes to spare! I'd like to think it had something to do with the amazing driving skills on my part. :)

The ceremony was a full Catholic mass which I've participated in a few times now. And by participated, I mean follow along in the program and sat silently while everyone else goes up for the snack. I have to say that I don't mind mass because I am always so amazed that all the Catholic people know what to say and when to say it. Kind of reminds me of formal chapter at KKG.

Afte the ceremony we headed to the hotel to hang out for a little bit and then hop on the bus to the reception.  Thanks to the Fijis, the bus ride felt like it was Grand Prix all over again!  Independence Grove is absoultely beautiful! And we got to watch the sun set while we enjoyed delicious appetizers and the champagne kept flowing.

We headed into dinner to watch all the dances and speeches (which were fabulous!). Then it was time to hit the dance floor ourselves which I didn't really leave for the rest of the night! I have to say that I do enjoy dancing at weddings a lot! And they even played the Cupid Shuffle! You would think that after two years, I would get sick of that song but I haven't yet!

Sunday we drove back to Indy and I had dinner with my parents as the Sunday routine goes. And that was it! No wedding this upcoming weekend but I'm sure there will be some fun happening! :)

Labor Day Fundays!

I can't believe Labor Day Weekend is over already!! It was such a good time that I would love to re-live it all over again in exactly the same way!!!

Friday was Papa Sener's birthday so that started off all the fun! Damla, J.B., and I decided to give Daddy his favorite thing--photos. We took family pictures outside in the backyard and had them printed and framed before we all went our seperate ways on Saturday. Daddy also got a little party with family and wonderful birthday cake!! He said the best present of all was that both his daughters were there to celebrate with him! We love our little Daddy!!

Satuday morning after brunch and watching a bit of the U.S. Open, I headed back to my own house to FINALLY decorate my room. I mean, I've lived there for over 3 months now so I thought it was about time. So with the help of my trusty laser level and my tape measure, I have some pictures hung up super straight in my room. Kamm was so proud. Of course, this project made me realize that my next project is to update the pictures that I hung up...I think this is why I avoided hanging anything up to being with!

Saturday night, I went out with friends including Nicole who was in town visiting from Dallas! Yea! It was just like old times and ending the night at 3 am wasn't enough so we continued with an after party at our house until 5 am. Good times!!

Sunday during the day was pretty uneventful. I got some things taken care of around the house, watched some of The Ripple Effect race that takes place in Broad Ripple, and then headed over to my friend Patrick and Mark's house to enjoy yet another night with no work in the morning!

I think the best part of Sunday night was that I met tons of new people and oddly enough, the majority of them were accountants! Not that we actually discussed anything other then where we happened to work but it secretly made me really happy. We spent some time at Patrick's and then decided to venture to Broad Ripple to see if everyone else was enjoying Sunday Funday as well. The bars close at midnight on Sundays which was too early for the fun to stop for us so we headed back to Patrick's afterwards to continue to play! Patrick might be the funniest person I know and his friends give him a good run for his money. The night wasn't complete without a little scavenger hunt for charcoal and I have to say that I was amazed nothing was broken. I was also very happy to hear that Patrick, Mark, and Chris are hopefully moving to Broadripple very soon--potentially as soon as this weekend!

Monday, Gina and I decided to explore Downtown Indy. We took some pictures and walked around downtown, walked around the mall, sneaked around the Conrad Hotel, and the best part--went paddleboating in the canal!! We also were super touristy and ate at the Hard Rock Cafe! And the rain managed to hold off which is good because we were often quite lost and probably would not have been able to find shelter quickly! The only thing we opted not to do was go to Rib Fest. There is just something I don't enjoy about being surrounded by mass quantities of pork.

I think that pretty much wraps up the weekend! Julie and Michael's wedding next weekend!
