It feels good to sew again...

I finally got my sewing room cleaned up and recovered from the wedding and surrounding events and I made Simplicity 2854 from some stash fabric. It's kinda dumpy and frumpy, but it was really easy to make and it felt good to make something without a crazy deadline (like a wedding). :) I added piping (which I made myself) to the button placket for a little interest. It's not a real exciting shirt, but I might wear it to work every once in a while.

Last weekend was Comic Con and we went for a little bit on Saturday. Michael's company SOE, had a booth there and they were giving out Batman and Catwoman masks to promote their DC Universe game. I was also really excited to get passes with our names on them that said "professional". It made me feel kinda important. We also went and visited with Tony Moran (AKA Michael Meyers), and his lovely and charming girlfriend Leandra. Comic Con was really hot and crowded and we didn't want to wait in line for Kevin Smith or Masquerade, especially since they're both already on YouTube. So we didn't stay too long. But it's always a blast to watch all the wonderful costumed freaks. I love all of them.

I'm so glad we stayed up late last night!

 

Michael and I saw the midnight showing of Bruno last night!

OMG!

Sacha Baron Cohen has no fear! Bruno goes places Borat never could. This movie was hilarious! Through the whole movie, we were either laughing hysterically or worried that someone was going to kill him!

The movie starts with a completely over-the-top and shocking "bedroom scene" with his little boyfriend Diesel! And then he trades an ipod for OJ who is the cutest little baby EVER!

This is one of the rare movies that totally does not show all the funny parts in the trailer.

Go see Bruno!

Hooray for the Red White and Blue!

The Saturday after our wedding Lindsey had a really fun Boats N Hoes birthday party at her house. Everyone dressed nautical and she had a DJ and a photographer. She made her very own super cool birthday cake which was delicious. Sorry Cornbread, I know you asked me to "hold" your piece of cake, but Michael and I accidentally ate it instead.

You can see the photo gallery here:

Birthday party for the Lindz

Some of Lindsey's friends made amazing jungle juice with delicious fresh fruit in it, and the DJ played some great 80's music to get people dancing. It was a super fun party!

This past weekend was The 4th of July. Michael and I decided to relax at home and just grill some hamburgers and corn on the cob. Which was a good choice because I'm pretty sure corn is the only veggie that Cornbread will eat. We had him over to celebrate the birth of our nation and play a little guitar. Michael taught him how to shred and then we set off the poppers I got at Dollar Tree. The boys were a little disappointed that you can't get any fireworks that explode in California (legally). But once they started throwing the poppers at the sliding glass door while the cats tried to attack them from inside the house, they started having fun.

I was just excited to get to use our first real-live patio set. My mom gave us a nice bistro set when we got back from our Honeymoon. Our back patio is really small and a full patio table and 4 chairs would take up the whole thing and leave no room for the BBQ and fire pit. I also decorated the back yard with some battery-operated laterns from Dollar Tree. But, I learned that 8 batteries for a dollar is not a good deal. The batteries only lasted about 45 minutes, so next time I want to use our battery lanterns I won't buy the batteries from Dollar Tree. :)

Greetings from Mrs. Bacon

Michael and I had a wonderful wedding. We were so honored to have all of our closest friends and family stay with us for our wedding weekend. All the love and support the whole weekend just blew us away!

Thank you to everyone!

 

The wedding day was exactly everything we wanted and more. Everything flowed perfectly and the reception was a really fun party. The whole weekend was a dream!

We were exhausted by the time we got to Vegas Monday night so we enjoyed some delicious room service in our gorgeous suite at the MGM. Mr. and Mrs. McCabe really hooked us up! Thanks you two!

 

We spent most of the next day floating in The Backlot River. Its a lazy river with a current that will just push you along through waterfalls and little water spitters. There are drink stands and waitresses serving frozen drinks. It's just really fun place for everyone to relax and enjoy the water. We stayed as long as our fair complexions would let us.

 

(Yes, we wore sunscreen)

 

Then we had some lunch and went to see the lions in the lobby of our hotel. I also wanted Michael to see New York, NY so we took the bridge over and checked it out. His favorite thing was the life size Rock'Em Sock'Em Robots.
