Surgery update and PARTY

Well, I survived my surgery. Actually, it was a very smooth day. I don't know why I worried so much! And, we just got my pathology report back a few days ago and it was CLEAR! Yeah!!

It took me a full week to recover. Thankfully, Patty and Doug help with the kids and Matt and my mom took care of me. Thanks for all the help, family!

This past weekend (10 days post surgery!) Hallie and I headed to Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri for Meredith's Bachelorette Party!!

Here we are just after landing in St. Louis

Mer's dad (Star-Lo... our nickname for Steve Arlo) headed to the lake hours before us girls and got their condo all ready for us, complete with party decorations!

Hallie and Robyn (our LA lady!)

Saturday morning, Mer had us busy working on a project for the wedding!

Then we headed back out on the boat (me, Mer and Nicki)

Mother of the bride, Celie (aka Silly Jones)

We had a little shower for Mer while we were there. I won't tell you what this gift was, but the faces on Nicki, Cara and Celie are PRICELESS!

Ummmmm..... I am not going to say what this is all about. But I will tell you it had us laughing for hours!

On the way out of town, we had to stop and try butter burgers and custard shakes! YUMMY!

It was so sad when it was time to leave. (Thanks for everything, Steve, Celie and Cara!) But there are only six short weeks until the wedding! And I am sure this is going to be the WEDDING OF THE YEAR! Look for pics to come in September!
