Wedding Shower...

This week on Kelly's blog, she is asking everyone to share pictures and memories of their wedding shower as part of her weekly "Show Us Your Life"...

My Cake...

My wedding shower was full of fun games! I got to prove what I knew about Scotty with a series of questions he had answered previously, I got to feel bags full of kitchen utinsils and try to guess what items were in the bags, and I got to pin the "kiss" on the fiance' (using "kiss" post-it's and a huge picture of my to-be husband). However, among those common games, there were a few unusual ones...

In this game, Scotty was asked to grab random items from his wardrobe and the hostess (my best friend, Kristy) grabbed items from her wardrobe and with a blind fold, I was asked to get dressed for the wedding night...

This game, I really do not recommend anyone try....

I was touched and very thankful to have all my friends around me and to receive such beautiful gifts...


Interesting pose with my "bride-to-be" ribbon...

So, there you have it! I actually was blessed to have three wedding showers!!! Unfortunately, I only found pictures on my computer of this one. :( Thank you, Kristy, Ashley, Bobbie, Tracy, Debbie, Mandy and Jennifer for hosting all of my wonderful and very memorable showers!

1-Year Anniversary!

Yesterday, Scotty and I celebrated being married one year! We had a wonderful dinner together and spent the evening flipping through our wedding album and watching our honeymoon cruise video. :) This Friday, we will be heading to San Antonio to have a small "anniversary trip" together. Enjoy the photos:

Table setting before dinner was served. Flowers were a gift from Uncle Bob and Aunt Connie.

Dinner is served....

We cooked dinner together - Ribeye & Shrimp w/ Alfredo sauce and Wild Mushroom-Stuffed Ravioli's w/ Alfredo sauce (spinach salad on the side)


Top layer of our wedding cake we froze. :) Of course, we had to add our cake topper!!!

After we cut into it.

It actually tasted pretty good!

Dad and Mom (in law) bought us both these beautiful Willow Tree figurines (my fav!)

Scotty's anniversary gift - permanant wedding band

*hard to see, but has blue sapphire in the middle and 1 amythyst on either side*

Scotty bought me 3 beautiful picture frames and filled them with some of our favorite pictures of us so I can have them for my new office at work, since I now have my own office!!! :)

Stay tuned for more Fabulous Floyd Fotos to come from our anniversary vacation! :)

Mr. George Strait and some lingerie...

*Whew* Another weekend over....

This weeekend was packed with TONS of fun!!! On Saturday, I went with some family to see George Strait. The opening acts included Julianne Huff (dancing w/ stars), Blake Shelton and Sugarland. Sugarland was definitely the best of those three, and I think I will probably purchase one of their CD's to listen to in the car. However, no one out-did Mr. George Strait. I just really love his simple, classic songs. Here are some photos of the concert - we had GREAT seats!

My sis (in-law), Rayna and I getting ready to hear some George...

Then, on Sunday, I had the privilage of attending sweet Susan's lingerie shower. I am thrilled for Susan because she has found the man she believes God has intended for her. She also has continued to honor and serve the Lord in her single life by saving her whole self for marriage. Here are some photos from the shower.

Bride-to-be and one of her sisters, Adele.

Yummy food and AWESOME Sangria (sp?).

Beautiful flowers and chocolate fountain

Party favors - edible underwear. lol

Ha! The outfit of the night! Susan just graduated nursing school. We all loved it!

I'm excited about the upcoming weeks. I really only have 4 more classes left, my exam and then "graduation" for my Director's Certificate! Next Saturday, Susan says, "I do", I celebrate my sister's 21st birthday and get to see my best friend's baby! Then, on the 24th is my anniversary! Time is definitely flying.....but for now, I must sigh and push on through Monday...

Showers, Birthdays and a Doctor Visit...

Well, this weekend was jam-packed with fun events!

First, I was blessed to attend THE MOST elegant bridal shower I have ever been privvy to! Now, if you know me well, you know I love the "presentation" of food. When I have people over, I like things to be 'just right'. I like everything to have it's own serving dish and for all the dishes to match. Well, Ms. Alison Diven (hostess) and another Allison (person who owned the home) totally put my hostess skills to shame! :) Their work was truly an artform and they are artists.

Me and the beautiful bride-to-be, Susan

Some of the food.

This was the beautiful coffee/tea station. Each cup had a heart-shaped piece of sugar that rested on the edge of the cup.


The whole table display w/o candles lit.

On Sunday, I had the utmost privilage of attending Elizabeth's baby shower. I have known Elizabeth for years, but really did not get the opportunity to know her well until I had the pleasure of introducing her future husband to her! :) **He is my best friend's brother.** So, now I get to see her at all the family events. Definitely a bonus!

Here is one of her maternity pictures. Her husband carved the name letters AND hand-made their son's crib! He is quite the wood-worker!

The beautiful diaper cake.

The yummy cake made to match the invitations.

The beautiful signature plate her friends got her.

Scotty and I were invited this weekend to celebrate a very special 1st birthday to Mr. Christian Sparks! He is the most handsome, joyful little boy. He received tons of wonderful gifts, and we really had the best time catching up with friends and enjoying everyone's beautiful children!

Happy birthday Christian!

Whew! Definitely a busy weekend!!! On top of all the fun, I got the WORST sore throat! Seriously. I have recently had my very first adult ear infection and now my first adult sore throat. It sounds silly going to a doctor just to say, "my throat hurts". But, honestly I could not even swallow without it feeling like I was swallowing thumb tacks! It was horrible! He gave me 2 antibiotics and said the sore throat should subside in about 48 hours. *sigh* All I know, is I will forever have the utmost empathy for little ones when their parents tell me they have an ear infection or sore throat. I can understand why they cry continuously or are fussy 24/7. I felt like doing the same thing, and I'm 28!

Stay tuned for more pics to come....this month is definitely a busy one for the Floyds:
