Breakdancing and bitching

We went to a wedding up in Hershey, PA (choco lovers married in their heaven) this past weekend and it was awesome! We ate so much chocolate though that we were both just moaning in pain and holding our swollen tummies by Monday night. Oh well, worth it... Cowboy's sister came with us too so it was ridiculously fun. I've come to realize that the two of them together equal a party, no matter what the setting actually (they literally high five in church when priest tells church goers to turn to your neighbor and give 'em the 'Peace be with you' and don't blink an eye) and especially if there's spirited beverages around. Cowboy's sister had me donate my safety pin (it was in my dress, keeping me from sharing too much mammary information but I had to take one for the team so off it came) so that she could pin her dress appropriately and dive on the floor to do the worm (picture looks like she's falling but no, the girl had some serious momentum and orch...

After some initial frustration with the travel agent, hearing from some of the guests that she was very unresponsive (one of the invitees called her a hooker then talked to her and later concluded "she's pretty nice for a hooker", that was my favorite) and from others that she was nice, we can say that at least she pulled it all together in the end.

For those who hadn't booked yet by Monday night of this week, we went into Go Time mode with and were getting everyone who expressed an interest in going their bookings via the TA. While we were doing that, we were addressing the invite envelopes (at this point, it's just a formality/after thought, oh well...) calling some invitees, emailing others and driving our travel agen...

Hmm, where to start. Well, wedding planning's been fun, especially since we've decided it's to be at one of the coolest locations we've found ( Dreams Los Cabos Resort in, well, in Los Cabos, Mexico) , the weather's going to be awesome and... SWIM UP POOL BAR! I keep saying this but seriously, once I say "I do" and I give Cowboy a kiss and smile to the cool ass folks who are coming out to hang out with spelling out "I did" or something to that effect on the tush (in white of course) and diving in to swim to the pool bar. I'm obviously mature enough to handle two things combined that I am so tickled by, a bar with free drinks and a swimming pool! Does it get any better than that? Stressful part has been the travel agent informing us late last night that there are almost no rooms left to book and with only half or so of our guests (who've at least told us that they're going so far) not booked yet, that makes for so_much_fun! Wooooooo...
