Summer so far....

I think I should start calling this blog "My life in pictures!" because let's face it its often a lot easier to post some pictures of an event than write about it. ;-) SO today features mostly pictures from the taping of My Big Redneck Wedding for CMT. No, I didn't get married but 2 of Dustin's friends did.... for CMT!! If you haven't seen the show, let me explain a little... basically rednecks from far and wide can apply to have their wedding taped for My Big Redneck wedding, the weddings range from on horseback, to demolition derby to ours which.... I guess.... had to do with the mud trucks- the bride and groom came in on jacked up Volkswagons, the bridesmaids and groomsmen were in red Dodges, the other trucks lined the wedding area...ya know the usual. ;-p It was a very interesting experience that took place on one of the first and hottest weekends of the summer and if you have ever been to the 7 mile ORV park in Spokane (yes the wedding was taped at the ORV park!) you know that the shade is VERY limited. We managed to find some for the first few hours of the day but the wedding was taped in the blazing hot sun. We're hoping that our time out there netted at least a few camera shots- Dustin ought to be on sporting his AWESOME tuxedo t-shirt and I'm sure the S-10 will make it to as it was one of the decorations for the ceremony. One of the many highlights of the day was when the rented Hummer(I think it was an H2 or H3???) got a flat tire which spinning donuts... they aren't supposed to do that but I guess going backwards and spinning on ruts isn't great for tires, of ANY vehicle. No worries though the tire was changed as the ceremony began a few feet away. ;-)

We also got to take Dustin's boat out for the 4th of July to the Columbia River- it was SO much fun! The weather was great and we camped with a very fun group of people. There is nothing like sleeping outside (or in the hull of a boat, soaking up the sunshine and playing games to recharge a person's batteries. :-) Can't wait to go again!

So on with the pictures....

Us still in the shade at 7 mile- don't you LOVE our wedding attire ;-p

Getting the game plan figured out

The wedding begins... see the blue S-10- it might be famous soon ;-)


This is the picture of our group when the couple was filming the originally video to try and get CMT to accept them... all of those trucks where at the wedding- except Richard's white Toyota...
