This summer is flying by! I cannot believe it's already August.. there are Christmas decorations up at Hobby Lobby already! But August means we can start saying "We're getting married next month!" Only 54 days left and still so much to do! It's hard to find the time to plan a wedding when every weekend is filled with friends and family events. This post is going to be filled with pictures!
7/4: We had a great 4th of July party at our house with the best of friends. Good food, fireworks and beer plus Brittney’s boyfriend from Austria joined us! We feel pretty special to say we’ve hosted an Austrian in our house. :)

Haileigh, me, Stephanie and Brittney7/18: We also had a great time at my Grandpa Hawker’s 90th birthday party. The whole family was there and a ton of friends came by to wish him a happy birthday. There was a live band that played all night and was really good! And I’m sure it was no surprise to anyone there that me, my mom, my dad, Jenni, Tim and even the grandkids were out on the dance floor pretty much all night!

We drove 6 ½ hours in 90 degree weather with no air conditioner! And to top it off, about 10 minutes outside of Topeka we blew a tire and had put on the spare and buy a new tire. Thank God KC traffic lead us to the Topeka route or we would have been stuck in the middle of nowhere! Fortnately we got there with no other problems. I shouldn’t complain though, Ryan’s friend Nate drove 8 hours from Texas to stay that weekend also… Anyway, it turned out to be a very fun weekend and the drive back was flawless (except again, no air conditioning and flying mattresses in the middle of KC).

hehe.. Brett works at Wichita State University and he gave us a tour of his office :)7/31: Don and Cyndi had a champagne tasting party with us and some friends to determine which champagne is the best for the rehearsal dinner and the winner is…. Actually, we don’t even remember. It was #1 (out of 7) Whatever choice that was… :)
So now it’s August 3rd and Ryan and I are watching our weekends as semi-single people are filling up fast. Bachelorette party, bachelor party, 2 bridal showers… Pretty soon we’ll be married and everything will change! Hehe.. not really, other than a signed document and Ryan wearing a new shiny ring married life can’t be too different…. RIGHT??
