It's been a while!

So much has been going on that I haven't had time to post lately! What could possibly keep me from posting? Let's see, since my last post we went to a Depeche Mode concert, bought a car (we won't actually take possession of it until late June...and it won't be delivered to MD until August), we got a new concrete front walk and back patio (pictures soon), Zach & his dad redid the crown molding in our living room, and I went to Texas for a weekend to take care of all of my Matron of Honor duties for Stacey's wedding.

The Depeche Mode concert was pretty good, but cold. I was happy that they played all the stuff I wanted to hear: "Precious", "Personal Jesus", "I Feel You", and they ended their main set and encore with my two faves "Enjoy the Silence" and "Never Let Me Down Again". It could have been longer though, I think it lasted just over an hour.

Stacey's shower turned out well. There's a link to the pictures below. I didn't get any pictures of the Bouquet Toss Practice we held, but Stacey learned a great wind-up technique from Shelley's mom and now I think Stacey has a really good throwing form for the big day. The "Frosty Grape Martinis" I made for the shower were so good that we mixed up a bottle full and brought it with us to the Hotel ZaZa to drink while we got ready for the Bachelorette Party. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of Stacey's Bachelorette Party debauchery--strip clubs don't like you to take pictures! Besides, what happens in Dallas stays in Dallas. Stacey's fiance doesn't really want to know how many men's asses she grabbed, and frankly I don't want to tell you what one of the male strippers did with my glasses.

Pictures are worth a thousand words (1015 if you actually read my captions), so here's what I have:
