Wedding Weekend in Waco

This past weekend Spencer was an usher in one of his childhood friend's wedding. Jon and Spencer completed their Eagle Scout together and were hunting buddies - they've known each other since they were 14. The wedding was at First Baptist Waco and the reception was at the Phoenix Ballroom, which is such a cool place to have a reception. There are windows everywhere and distressed wooden floors with beautiful wooden columns throughout the room. The wedding and everything was great, except for one thing. The cake. I mean, it was beautiful - 5 tiers with piping all over and then their initials sitting on top - beautiful. But it was kinda dry and had a lemon flavor. I'm sorry but lemon?! Seriously!? What happened to plain white cake and plain white icing? I know I am boring. Actually, the cake was decent. I am just hard on wedding cake. I mean I have to be since I am practically a cake connoisseur after watching Cake Boss, Fabulous Cakes and all the other cake shows I watch. :)

About to go to the reception!

On Sunday, we went to lunch with my dear friend Britni and her husband Tim and their sweet boy Hunter. We were there for over 2 hours! It was so good to see her - I am so glad we live closer to each other!

After lunch we went to...the Baylor Bookstore! Oh.my.gosh. It was SO packed full of little lost freshman. I heard one girl say she forgot her clothes at home. haha Seriously? Poor girl. But the bookstore did have so many cute things. I could have an entire wardrobe just of Baylor clothes. Sic Em.

So the picture below is on top of a parking garage on campus that overlooks the new Brooks Village, a new freshman dorm, and Pat Neff Hall - the big gold dome to the left. Just on the other side of Pat Neff is where Spencer proposed!

SIC EM!!
