The Dress, The Wedding, The Weekend

{I apologize if my blog loads slowly for you.  I'm working on getting that fixed.  Still trying to figure out what's causing it to be so dang slow.  Plus I'm moving things around, adding things, deleting things...hopefully it will run faster soon!  Thanks for your patience!!}

This weekend has been a scorcher!  For the most part, Washington has NOT experienced summer weather this year.  But when it decides to show up, it SHOWS. UP.  It's been in the 90's and not having A/C makes it almost unbearable inside.  I don't mind being OUTSIDE in the heat, but in my house?  I want it to be cooler.

Anywho...

I got this adorable dress at Kohl's, which I mentioned the other day.  This is the picture I had Kyle take of me after I got ready {I also posted it on Twitter so some of you already saw it}.  Just ignore the mess surrounding me and the fact that I was in this dress in HOT weather therefore sweating my face off before I even got out the door.  I also changed my shoes at the wedding but they're so uncomfortable that they don't stay on for very long. lol

I got this dress to wear to a wedding so I also promised you that I was going to show you a picture of the bride and me.  We've always been told she looks like me and watching the slide show they had during the wedding, there were definitely some pictures in there that made my mom and I looked at each other like "That is totally you/me!"  Kind of funny.  Here's a picture of the two of us.  What do you think?  See some similar family resemblance in us?

{I think we looked more alike when we were younger.}

Here a couple pictures of the actual wedding.  It was a very short wedding.  Like 15 minutes, maybe?  One of the shortest I've ever been to!

The Bride and her dad {my mom's cousin}

The Kiss

The reception was nice, but I think they had more people show up than they had planned for so it was pretty cramped.  We stood the entire time we were there. We drove with my mom {and if you follow me on Twitter, you'll know that I was fearing for my life!  She's a crazy driver but thinks she's good.  Sorry if you're reading this mom, it's the truth. ;0P}, so we left when she did, which thankfully was not late into the night.  We got home around 10pm.  Our house was still an OVEN so we slept with no covers and I put a cold, wet washcloth on my feet and my chest to cool myself down, plus we had a fan blowing directly on us.

Sunday we survived the heat once again.  Around 4:30 or 5pm we decided it was time to go down to the lake.  We stopped at the grocery story to get something to eat since I was NOT going to be cooking in the heat and we went and got the boat.  We cruised around the lake, ate our dinner and then we got in the lake. We floated around for about an hour and then got back in, cruised around some more, watched the sun set and then came home around 9pm.  It was a hot, but enjoyable weekend!

How was your weekend?  How do you beat the heat?
