Good ole Ginball loves her vodka tonic! Ps- cute handbag...courtesy of Lillians, a new store in downtown Hopkins!


The boys...Nate, Ben and Dan.. Or as they were referred to that night "The Blue Man Group"

Nate was my date for this wedding! No, no...Mario didn't have West Nile again...he and his family and friends decided a while back to play paintball up at the Combat Zone and then head off to Grand Casino Hinkley. Since Chris was staying in Pennsylvania with the girls (Lily and Addie) I decided to be the nice wifey and let him off the hook! Also, Nate's girlfriend Jodee decided to stay home with their new addition in Duluth....(missed you Jodee)... Wow, I never realized how much Libby and I clashed with these shirts until I saw the photos!!! It is almost hard to look at!
I love my new job of designated driver....well, LOVE is a bit strong but I owe a lot of people rides now that I am prego! It was fun driving the couch on wheels... she has a real "get up and go" attitude as a bunch of bystanders (if you click on the actual picture you can see these poor people in the background) at the reception got to see when I decided to do doughnuts in the field before peeling out of the parking lot for our quick drive home. It WAS quick... I got us home in less than an hour!

My Amazing friend Manny!!!!!

So my good friend Amanda "Manny" Condon and her sister Deanna (who flew in from Orlando) decided to train for and run in the Twin Cities Marathon yesterday! I don't think that the weather could have been worse (unless you were running in the Chicago marathon) for runners, being so humid. This picture was taken at mile marker 19 and look how happy they seem! This was my first time being a spectator and let me tell you the energy was unbelievable. I know that I am pregnant and all but immediately watching these people made me tear up! Mario was laughing at me of course, but to see people running with T-shirts that say "My first race" or "RIP so and so" or "I love my family" was so neat! I even saw two people that I didn't know were even racing... one being a guy that was in our friend Julie and Dan's wedding and Ryan Stilwell a friend from High School. WOW...you guys are amazing! Manny I am so proud of you!!

Congrats to Laird and Laura Sourdiff!

Our friends Laura and Laird were married on Saturday the 6th at the Embassy Suites in downtown St. Paul. It was a beautiful ceremony and a super cool Asian inspired reception!
The bride!!! The dress and the flowers were gorgeous!

Very pretty table scape... the fall colors were so neat!
OK....so I have one more wedding next weekend and I will be wearing this same top :) Oh and yes, I chopped my hair off!!!!!

LET ME OUT!!!!

Happy 48 Connie!!!!!

Thursday night we celebrated our good friend Connie's b-day at.... take a guess..... MAINSTREET! :)
Connie with Casey and Brady....

Hilarious b-day cake! I told Wuloette's bakery to put a woman with short blonde hair, a cigarette in one hand and a cocktail in the other on the cake... I think it looks JUST like her...haha!
