Remember Deb and Grant? Of course you do!  How could you FORGET!?

 

HELLOOOOOO LUSCIOUS LIPS!

 

 

 

 

 

 BLINNNNNNNNNNG!

 

 That's her mom sitting in the chair on the left :) Mikey's favorite :?:

 

 Work it out ladies…. work it OUT!

 

 Just a warning… I posted a LOT of bridal shots… but COME ON… I couldn't narrow it down.  I'm not going to lie, we're incredibly proud of these bridal shots. :)

 
 

HOW DO YOU LOOK SO PERFECT?!

 

 

 

 Deb, I put this one up just for you :) "Look at your flowers and laugh at them! AREN'T THEY FUNNY?! THEY'RE SOOOO FUNNY!!!!!!" HAHAHA!

 

 Favorite :!:

 

 It was FAREEEEEEZING (as you can clearly tell by their breath) :D However, these guys were TROOOOOPERS!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 here comes the bride… :) I love the looks on their faces :D

 

Mikey's view…

 

 My view…

 

:)

 

 Are you KIDDING me!? KIDDDDDDDDING ME?! 

 

 

 

 ….waiting to be announced at their reception…

 

 HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE THIS CAKE!?  AHHHHH!!!!! I asked Deb where she got the idea… her response… "from my head!" 

 

 

 

 Grant with his momma. :)

 

 Get down get down!

 

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.  We LOVE going to weddings where EVERYTHING happens in one place :) From the getting ready to the very end of the reception… the only thing anyone has to worry about is having fun :D That's EXACTLY what Deb and Grant did… and they did it all at one of our favorite downtown Indianapolis wedding spots…. Mavris :D

Deb Deb Deb Deb DEB!!!! Where do I begin with the awesomeness that is you!?  You're hilarious, beautiful, full of life, up for anything, fun loving, excitable, and just well… AMAZING!!!!!

Grant is equally amazing :) However… he's the yin to her yang :) (that sounds funny… but you know what I mean, right?!).  He's easygoing, laidback, grounded, etc…. afterall, he's an engineer for Rolls Royce :D Together, they are the PERFECTO match!  Deb's sister explained it OH SO well in her speech… I wish that I had recorded it so I could steal some lines from it :D

Now… remember a couple of weeks back here in Indianapolis when it snowed like two feet!?  Well… THAT was the weekend these two got married. So, needless to say… we sorta had to do all of their photos indoors.  However, give us some windows, two gorgeous people in love… and it's D7D :D ($10 iTunes gift card to anyone who can figure out what D7D means… if your name is Heather, Corrie, Andrea, Kate or Michael… you're exempt, SORRY BOUTCHYA!)

SOOOOOO…. thank you THANK YOU THANK YOU Deb and Grant for having a gorgeous wedding, being OH SO in love, having fun friends and let's face it…. BEING RIDICULOUSLY GOOD LOOKING!!!!

WE LOVE YOU!

~bobbi+mike :!: + :?:

OK, you waited.  Patiently.  (or maybe not)  Without further ado, Deb's and Grant's slide show!  The user name is Deb's maiden name, and the password is Grant's last name in all lower case.

And…I suppose you'd like to see ALL of the photos….so, click here!  The event key is again Grant's last name.

 

 Luckily for us, they had a professional photographer there running the photobooth…. so we didn't have to look far for someone who could handle the weighty responsibility of taking our photo with the bride and groom. :) Thanks to Chad Franz for making this happen.  I'd also like to take this opportunity to say WOW TO THAT PHOTOBOOTH!!!! It was a HUUUUUUGE hit!!!! Click here for more info :) PS. I don't remember being THAT much shorter than Deb!  I appear to be resting my head upon her bosom (yes, I just put the word BOSOM on our blog!). HAHAHAHA!  Deb, how tall are you?!

 

 Speaking of being short…. WOWWWWWZERS I LOOK LIKE A MUTANT MINI ADULT!!!!! I assure you, it's an illusion… however yes yes yes… I am not a tall person. ;)

 

:)

VEGAS!

Sunday, February 22nd, 2009

 

Let me start by saying this… I'm a big slacker :) I didn't bust out my camera even once while in Vegas… Leave it to a photographer to not have a camera.  SO, I'm borrowing photos (with permission :) ) from awesome photographers who weren't slackers. :)

The absolute highlight of our week week in Vegas…. withOUT a doubt… was the BluDomain party :D The famous Mammoth Men (12 VERY talented wedding photographers) ROCKED out the night with some AMAZING karaoke.  I know I know… karaoke sounds completely lame… However, I ASSURE YOU…. IT WAS FAR FROM LAME!!!!!! OH MY GOSH WE HAD SO MUCH FUN! Heather and I proudly claimed our front row view and ROCKED IT OUT!

Without further ado… here are two of those images from the aforementioned non-slacker photographers.

 

Taken by Kansas City's own Tracy Routh.  Can I just say… Heather, you're a rockstar!!!!!!! I wonder why you woke up the next day with a neck ache? :)

 

Taken by our new friend, and super talented Kelli Nicole :) Who knew I could even MAKE that face?!  Tara Whitney said this when she saw it, "you pulled off the ugly pretty! Tyra Banks would be so proud. Hahaha!"  Tara, I adore your honesty :D

 

You MUST check out Kelli Nicole's blog for more amazing photos from that night… She was ON it!

We genuinely had the time of our lives in Vegas… and I brought home the flu to prove it :(

If we go next year… I promise to bring my camera. :)

LOVE!

~bobbi :!:

PS. It was SO great meeting SO many of you! :D

 

healthy train | week 18.

Sunday, February 15th, 2009

 

First and foremost…. thank you ALLLLLL so so so so SOOOO much for your kind words last week :) You guys sure do know how to pull a girl out of a funk! :D I LOVE OUR BLOG READERS!!!!!!!

Secondly, sorry for the delay in this entry… I know I'm a day late… things have been so hectic leading up to our trip to Vegas…. eeeeeks!

And finally…. I've lost .4 lbs this week… better than nothing I suppose. :)   I went to the gym Saturday, Sunday, twice on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, skipped Thursday and again on WORKED it on Friday.  Did cardio EVERYTIME I went to the gym hoping that that would help…. I suppose it did as I didn't gain this week. 

Total weight loss: 12.8 lbs. ;)

Soon I'm going to go have some blood work done to see if I have any hormonal issues with losing weight.  Not that I think that's going to be the case… but it'll be nice to eliminate that from my list of thoughts as to why losing weight has become 100x more difficult then it's ever ever been for me.

I'll let you know how that goes… :)

Now… onto YOUR weight loss :D (FINALLY A LIST!!!!!)

 

TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS FOR YOU GUYS: 325 POUNDS!!!! WHAT?! YEAHYEAHYEAHYEAH!!!!!!
