The Corley Wedding

Memorial Day weekend quickly turning into a whirlwind weekend!  We were all geared up and ready for the nuptials of Rick and Jamie, but before the party comes the planning....

First, our initial pet sitting plans fell through, thus, sending me into a panic!  I cannot leave the pooches in subprime care!  So, I spent all of Friday, trying to recover so that we could head to Ocala, FL!  After several phone calls, it is a holiday weekend remember, and finding no boarders with availability, I resorted to in home care!  This, just for reference, freaks me out because I am so protective.  But, I found this absolutely fabulous girl, Jennifer, who ownsWoofs and Whiskers who gladly opened her home to our pooches!  We couldn't have been more pleased!

Now, we could officially relax and get on the road!

We got into Ocala just in time to make it to the rehearsal dinner and meet both of the Corley and Corso families!  As should be expected when my husband and Rick are together, it quickly turned into a "celebration"!  After a long night at Rick's house, driving the boys back to my hotel, chaperoning them at the pool, and chauffeuring them to McDonald's at 3am...they called it a night!  I feel so blessed that we got to spend Rick's last bachelor night with him!!!

You might not know, but Rick and my mom had an instant connection because of Ocala!  All of Mom's college friend's live in Ocala and I was able to meet up with the Parker's for a quick lunch!  It's funny how you have some people in your life that will always be there and just pick up where you left off!  The Parker family is fabulous and I hope during our time in the South we are able to meet up with them more often!

Finally, it was time for the wedding!  Chubb and Megan arrived and we were ready to head out the door!  They are the silliest couple ever, but I can't be around them and not have a good time!  What a good pair to spend the weekend with....

We aren't near as silly, but for those who know me, I love to pose!

The wedding was beautiful, the company was perfect, and we count ourselves lucky to have the friends we do!  In fact, just last night, we talked about how hard leaving them is going to be...but we aren't thinking about that yet!!!

Fort Rucker Community Spouse's Club

This one is for you Jacob Cramer....

So, as many of you know, my little sister, Julia, just moved to Jacksonville, NC!  It seems so strange that she is old enough to be out on her own and living in an adult life!  Well, because of that, I frequently get to hear antics from her silly boyfriend...and, he called me out...I am slacking on my blog.  He told me not to make promises about my blog if I couldn't uphold them!  RUDE!  

To tell you that the last few weeks of my life have been crazy busy would be an understatement.  And, what is worse, how did I ever do it all when I worked?  

So, for the sake of updating everyone, let's rewind a few weeks!

The day, Thursday May 26th:

For those of you who don't know, the 3rd Thursday of every month is the Fort Rucker Community Spouse's Club's (FRCSC) monthly luncheon!  This time each month has become a time that I crave and has, literally, saved my life!  I attended my first luncheon only days after arriving in Alabama having no idea what I would find.  And, much to my relief, I found a group of ladies that would quickly turn into friends and fill many moments of my days!

I also made a commitment when I got here that I would be proactive in my social life, my role as an ARMY wife, and making new, quality friends!  So, one of my first steps in this venture was volunteering to be the 2nd Vice President for FRCSC.  I am so excited about this position!  A reader's digest version of my job:  planning the luncheons!  PERFECT!  

On May 26th, I got inducted as the 2nd VP for the 2011-2012 year!  Get excited for the things to come with the club this year!  We have so many great fundraisers and various outreach activities planned that will surely continue to help our club grow, help spouse's find a place where they belong, and provide the Fort Rucker community with many needed resources!
