BACHELORETTE BABYYYYYYY

My wonderful friends honored me this weekend by throwing me a little party.

We had lots of laughs!

My beautiful teeth twin cousin, Amber aka "Peepes" flew all the way from the east coast to be there.

I opened lots of fun stuff but due to my fiancé reading this I can't post pics :)

They made me put a little somethin' something' on over my dress and head to the great outdoors.

For games! Of course!

There was a piñata filled with condoms and candy! What more could a guy ask for.

We also played pin the lips on Adam Brody.

What cute, clever friends I have.

After the shower we headed to dinner.

Our "Hale" pose inspirational photo. Always.

After dinner, a few of us hardcore girls headed back to change for our pole dancing class.

Cathy had made sweatbands for us to wear...

Mine said "I'm Heidi" the rest of the crew, "Team Heidi"

What a lady.

This was soome party I tell you!

Even preggo Boz had fun. Who says pregnant ladies can't have fun? Not me!

Meet our instructor....

She rocked.

She taught us real life, everyday skills...

The rest of the pics might not be as appropriate for the blog world...

We had soooo much fun laughing and looking like idiots together. However, some might actually be "natural born strippers". It was the perfect end to the perfect day with my besties.

I know I say this all the time, but I really am so blessed to have such incredible women in my life. They love and support me daily when I feel like I don't deserve any of it. They accept me for the crazy, emotional, girl that I am. And I'm really going to miss them.

kisses.

p.s. i have so much more respect for real life strippers after doing this activity.... they deserve every dollar they make.

crunch time

1 month.

730-ish hours.

I get hitched.

I can't believe it, and I can't wait! But I need those 730 hours. I gots lots to do!

I can't wait for my weekend with my besties.

kisses.

p.s. Don't forget to pray for my Papa and his surgery today at noon.

thanks. looove.

china moment

Lately I've been thinking a lot about China.

More specifically my bathroom in China.

I loved the convenience of the "all inclusive" bathroom.

Also the people. I've been thinking about all the people there too.

There sure are lots of people to think about.

It's hard to believe that it hasn't even been a year since I've been home. To me it feels like forever since I had good Chinese food. So much has happened the past 9 months it seems like years since I lived there.

Luckily I have this girl to keep me feeling connected.

kisses.

a wonderfully rainy Easter

Happy Easter!

kisses.

sweet love

Sometimes there's nothing better than laying in the grass with your grandpa.

Holding his hand is pretty great too.

kisses.

HAPPPYYYYYYY!!!!!

ARE YOU READY!!!??

Sorry it took me so long... I was patiently waiting too....

The news you have ALL been eagerly waiting for.....

I would like to introduce you to the newest (soon) member of the Reeves family.

Pryce Lee Reeves

MY NEW NEPHEW!!!

He just turned 7 months old, lives in Seoul, South Korea, is twice the size of his 18 month old big brother Jett, and will be coming home to his family as soon as he can!

His throne chair however will not be able to make the trip.

THAT'S MY NEWS!!!!!!! As most of you know my bro and sis-in-law are adopting from Korea and have been waiting to get the call that there is a baby for them... AND THEY GOT THE CALL!!! I wanted to scream it from the rooftops, but I had to wait!

It has been killing us. We wanted to share with everyone this sweet, chubby baby boy as soon as we found out!

They still will have to wait anywhere from 4-9 months until they are able to go over to Korea and bring him home. Prayers will definitely be needed during this time.

A picture makes it real, makes him real. We pray that his caregivers are loving on him and telling him about his new family.

Our family is finally getting the Asian baby we always dreamed of!!!

p.s. If anyone would like to make a donation they are still some mula short.... the sooner they raise the money the faster baby Pryce comes home!

kisses.

bridezilla moment

My dress came in (not my big news)!!!

We went for the fitting... and let me tell you... it wasn't pretty. The dress itself is perfect but the fitting was not so perfect. The owner of the unnamed bridal store located in a city that starts with a "T" did a great job of making me feel frustrated.

Because I have the tiny tata's we have to take it in order for the dress to look normal. When she pinned it (she wasn't even the one who would be sewing it) I couldn't breathe and she told me I would just have to pick which one I could live with. Not breathing, or having a huge gap between my dress and my chest.

This is false.

We said "see ya" took our dress and visited our lady in Stillwater. She did her magic in the pinning department and what do ya know... I could breathe AND my tiny man breasts weren't being exposed to the world.

I don't want to talk smack on this place, every other time I have been in there they have been very sweet and kind. But this one time, the one time that I feel like you should really be making sure the bride is happy.... they dropped the ball.

And this is me having a bridezilla moment.

kisses.
