Happy weekend! I was so very grateful to see Friday night this week. This was my first week in Fort Worth and while the work is not too horrible, the drive certainly is. I don't mind the morning drive actually because I like the early quiet time to myself. The hour drive home when I'm just ready to be there is a lot tougher. I have been able to make my bootcamp at the gym two nights a week though, which is one thing I was worried about. Kyle can attest to the fact that I was pretty much a walking zombie by Thursday night.
I had quite the delightful Saturday today! All of my bridesmaids were in town so that we could go dress shopping. I had mentally prepped myself for a bit of a stressful day because bridal salons are always packed on the weekends and not as enjoyable as the TV would have you believe. However, when we stepped in to our first stop we were all pleasantly surprised by the lack of crowd. I didn't have too many guidelines about what I was looking for. I originally wanted a floor-length dress but after browsing online had come to terms with the fact that they were probably going to be too expensive for what I wanted to ask my bridesmaids to spend. I was once again pleasantly surprised when we found a simple floor length dress that was right in our price range right away. It was the first dress the girls tried on and everyone looked beautiful! Easiest shopping trip ever. I am so grateful for those ladies who have graciously agreed to stand by me on Kyle and I's big day! Love ya'll!!

In other news... I finished my first summer read this week.
I randomly came across a list of summer suggestions and was intrigued by this book. I guess I somehow missed the time traveling aspect in the description and spent the first 1/4 of the book pretty confused. It was a little bit of a slow starter for me but once I got in to it, I had to pace myself to make it last a week. Some other reviewers have commented on the "gruesome" aspect of this book but it honestly didn't bother me all that much. That might have something to do with the fact that I get bored with details and will often skip over those parts. "I spread the girls intestines around the room like blah blah blah blah" Scan. Scan. Scan. Back to conversation and I'm interested again. It definitely has some gruesome parts and some graphic descriptions of violence and sexual deviance. I would not recommend it for YA readers. The end was predictable but it kept me turning the pages until the very end. Overall, I would recommend this book. It was a nice change from your average summer romance read.
