rylan and i had a pretty exciting day today! so im not going to tell you about it...

nah, just playin', here goes:

rylan met me at work, which is always a nice surprise! there is a new honey shop on broughton street that i've been dying to check out, and apparently they were giving away 

free ice cream (holla!) so we decided to walk over there to see what was going on. well we walk in and there is a camera crew but we just assume they are there filming the store cause it's new. so we're meandering around and all of a sudden SAMANTHA BROWN walks past. well i'm not a very cool person when it comes to celebrities (ask the deen's- i'm ridiculous!) so i scream "oh my god, i love your show. i watch you every day" and turn three shades of bright red! she smiles and says thanks and keeps walking. y'all don't understand, the travel channel is the only cable channel we get, so she and anthony bourdain are gods in our house. i'm obsessed with her. i want to be her when i grow up. so ridiculous. so anywho, we call everyone we know. and then we walk by the store one more time. and she's still there. so we walk down the street a few blocks to our favorite burger place. then we walk past the store again, and oh wait, she's still there! we're total creepers! 

okay, moving on from our stalker ways...

the sons played softball tonight! i'm not going to say they won, cause they didnt. but i can't say the lost, cause they didnt.  the other team never showed up! the sons are just that good, everyone's afraid to play them! but it was super cold and the wind was blowing but i got a jersey. i'm #13 and it says "chels" across the back! i'm going to wear it all the time!! 

okay well im off work tomorrow and hsm3 comes out! yes i am 24 years old going on 13. i swear i did not request the day off just for the movie coming out. i don't think that far in advance.

so our week in phoenix was pretty exciting. i'm so over weddings, if i don't have to go to another one until may, i'll be perfectly happy.  

i got in on tuesday and went straight to serranos for the best mexican food ever. then went to get pedicures with the fam.  got to see all my cousins and their "others" which was a wonderful surprise! headed home and mom made chicken and dumplings! delicious.

wednesday mom and i got up early and went to target to get daniel and tamra their wedding gift.  then hung out with chelsa the rest of the day. we went to lunch at zpizza and then i made her drive me to the mall.  while heading out we ran into beau! he invited us to happy hour, so along we went! then chelsa and my mom, dad, pop, and i all went to margaritaville for dinner! it seems quite odd to me to have a beach themed restaurant in the middle of the desert, but whatever.  we had margaritas and cheeseburgers in paradise (with heinz 57). 

thursday we spent the whole day setting up for the rehearsal dinner.  everything looked beautiful. my mom has a real knack for that kind of stuff. all in all, everyone remained on their best behaviour, which is saying a lot for redneck kentucky folk! rylan arrived in the great state around 11pm.

friday morning i got a haircut and rylan bought himself a dress shirt for the wedding.  got to the wedding about an hour early, so we tracked down the boys in the bar! the wedding was beautiful and the rehearsal was a blast. my drunken cousins took over the dance floor. very entertaining.  danced with pop, danced with rylan. and no wedding is complete without the macarena, the electric slide and of course the chicken dance. my mother requested them, go figure. i was lucky enough to remain seated for two outta three of those! my cousins (probably flyin' high, if you catch my drift) did the chicken dance, so how could i not?! oh i love my stupid family!

saturday was spent relaxin, and then of course another trip to the mall! had dinner at guedo's, which is second best mexican food in az!  went to see "sex drive" with chelsa. way funnier than i expected.

sunday mom had some friends from church over to say hello. it was so nice to see everyone.  then we went to my cousins house in gilbert to say goodbye to the family.  

yesterday was eventful. we got the airport at 10:30 for our 12:40 flight. well, apparently the 9:30 flight to dallas was 3 hours late.  that meant that our flight was going to be at least an hour late which would mean we miss our connecting flight to savannah.  we would have to sleep in the dallas airport, which is fun for no one.  rylan got our name on the standby list for the (now scheduled) 12:40 flight and we thankfully got on... but our luggage did not.  so we made it to dallas with 40 minutes to spare! we knew the bags wouldnt make it, but we would rather have had the luggage spend the night in the dallas airport than us! the dog welcomed us home with lots of kisses. we also returned to cold weather! it's fall y'all.  i would love to take shower, but the hairdryer is in the luggage. in dallas. so im seriously debating the showering thing right now. did i mention its really cold?!

so i've come to the conclusion that rylan and i are quitters. we bought the wii and played it for a solid week. then we didn't touch it for a month. then we got the wii fit and were athletic for about a week and half. i can safely say that thing hasn't been touched in two weeks. and now we don't want to use it cause it's going to yell at us for not using it in a while...

in awesome news: bobby deen knows my name without my nametag being on! he says "good morning chels" and i think i turn red everytime. my life is complete.  and rylan and i saw paula and her hubby at target the other day. just another day in slow-vannah.  

we're getting ready to make our (short) triumphant return to the great state of arizona within the week! i leave tuesday and rylan follows on thursday.  my mom is my social director (she always has been, nothing changes even from 3000 miles away). it's a good thing im not a more popular girl and only have 2 friends in az.  i get in on tuesday at noon and pretty much hit the ground running. the rehearsal dinner is on thursday and the wedding is on friday. on sunday she wants to have a get together at the house for the church folk since she ain't dragging me there.  needless to say i think i've overpacked! 

the urban outfitters opened in savannah today. it's a pretty big deal. so we walked around there today and went into the pd store to get mom her requested cookbooks (personalized, nonetheless) and got lunch at wild wings cafe. it's sweater weather down here this week, so i felt like i had to go walk around downtown! i love autumn! we're heading to the hansens for dinner.

we've been watching veronica mars on dvd. i don't know how i couldve missed such a show on tv. it's so great. right up my alley. so, this is my shameless plug for a great show if you're ever looking for something to rent at good ol' blockbuster!
