Jesse and Clara got married at the Aquarium! Whoah cool!

Although the Smiths were legally married 1 and 1/2 years ago, they publicly tied the knot last night at the Aquarium in Tulsa, OK. I don't know about you guys, but I have for sure never been to a wedding in front of a shark tank before now and it was sweet! Several of us were sort of secretly hoping that they would be IN the tank and float down in scuba gear. I think I would have been just a little bit blown away and labeled this the "Most Satisfying Wedding EVER." But the food was good and the bride and her dress were gorgeous.
Shark tank is behind them.

These turtles were stacked. Hmmm...
Kissing the bride.
Upon entering the shark tank tunnel there was a bit of fear that had to be overcome.
My heels sitting on the wall, they were about a 1/2 size too small.
Clown fish I believe.
Blow fish.

Electric eel! (I think)
Jelly fish.
The cake!
Beautiful roses.
Oh yeah, and we drank a little wine.

Welcome to Chester, AR

My Grandma Cronin and Aunt Connie came into town from California yesterday and so we all went out to lunch today. And where else in the entire state of Arkansas would my step-dad choose to eat but in Chester, Ar. So after 45 minutes of driving on the Pig Trail and nearly loosing my appetite due to motion sickness(I know, a little pathetic) we arrived at our destination. Here are some highlights. The waitress mentioned that "Bill had an old car he was tryin' to fix up so they could have their very own cop car in town."
Cat right outside the bathroom.
I'm not sure I even know what this means, but so far the town has 3 churches and no cop car.
The antique store did have several very cool old cameras though.

In the city

This post is a little late, but here is a taste of the time I spent in Seattle post-Potlatch.
Vikki and I perused Pike market for 3-4 hours.
Elevator? Nope, just a one-seater bathroom.
"First" starbucks.


Vikki, Joel, Karl and I did a little sea-kayaking the day before leaving.

Yet another giant post, Seattle edition

Last weekend I ended up in Seattle somehow for a tournament called Potlatch that was pretty danged sweet. I played with a team out of Oklahoma called shortbus and 6 of us Arkansans joined them. We played Friday, Saturday and Sunday so by the time the weekend was over I was quite spent, but managed to have a great time for the next 3 days playing around in the city. Here is just a huge post about the tournament, Seattle photos are to come soon.

We were a little rough with the hoola-hoop and so when it broke we got creative and made it into a sweet beer bong.
Stevie and I wrestled, Sumo style.


The team! minus karl, I might photo shop him in soon though.

Spider pig, spider pig.

The sky was awfully pretty as was the weather all week.

Tim's boredom part II

Have you ever wondered what kind of stimulants an everyday Tim's waitress experiences behind the scenes? Well, due to the fact I did not receive a single table for 3 hours on sunday, I was able to document just such a thing for you all.

This is the old oven.

Here's the very very old dough maker that was old when Tim's Pizza obtained it some 20 years ago...I think....it was either 20 or 13, one of the two. I promise it's not dirty, the lighting is just not in it's favor.
Circles.
We carry coke products, sorry if you like pepsi, we don't.
