Park City Car Show

This was a very eventful weekend. The Northern Utah Mustang Owners Association... aka NUMOA put on an MCA Grand national show in Park City this weekend. For those of you who don't speak Mustang, the local car club put on a huge car show with lots of out-of-towners. They only do a couple Grand Nationals a year and they are the big of big car shows in the mustang world.

Anyways... Mike and I shared a condo in Park City with his sister, her girlfriend, and her son. It was a blast! Friday was the Pony trails where we had between 75-100 Mustangs drive to Mirror Lake. On the way back, we were three cars back from a Mustang that hit a deer. It was sad. Other than that, it was a fun. I managed to forget sunscreen so I am very burned. So i am hoping that I wont be peeling for the wedding.

Saturday was the show. We had about 375 mustangs lined up Main Street in Park City. I wish I had some pictures to share... but of course I forgot my camera. That was a hectic day. Mike and I got up at 4 am to help with parking. we were guarding a parking lot that was reserves for trucks and trailers. we had lots of unhappy Park City-ans who wanted to park there. We did good fending them off... but then after we left, someone moved the barricades and so a whole bunch of people parked in there blocking the trailers. So after the show we had a fun time getting the trailers out without damaging cars.

Saturday night was a banquet held at the canyons. We got to ride the Gondola up to a restaurant up top of the mountain. I loved riding the Gondola and the Cabriolet. I actually rode the cabriolet a few times just for fun. I had never ridden in a ski lift that you stand in before.

Today was another show in the parking lot at the Canyons resort. That one was for all Fords so we had more than just mustangs. It was fun. i got to ride the Cabriolet again, which is always enjoyable. After that show we did the awards ceremony. Mike didn't win any awards on his 66 mustang convertible... but that was because he entered it as "Display only" which meant he wasn't eligible to win any awards. His sister Heather won first in her class for her 93 Mustang.

After the awards ceremony, we went outside to find it was pouring. So the drive home down Parleys canyon was a bit scary ... but we survived. Mikes convertible had a couple leaks so we got a little wet... but not too bad.

I enjoyed the show... but I am so happy to be home. Mike and I both have work off tomorrow so we get a relaxing day. Most of all, I am Very Happy to get to sleep in my own bed!

It's been awhile

I was looking over peoples blog and thinking to myself "they havent done any posts for awhile"...then i realized that I have gone longer than they have without posting! Life just gets crazy. The wedding stuff is coming along. Shannon went with me wedding shopping last week. That was a huge help (thanks shannon!). I got the invitations mostly all printed up and put together. Ok, i take that back, I only have one box done. But still its progress! Getting peoples addresses is not going as well as I had hoped though. Thats a bit more time consuming.
I am so excited about my center peices! I am going for a rustic theme so the center peices are old looking lanters (but not really old, just old looking) with a battery operated flickering candle. I cannot have real flames in the building so the battery operated candles will have to do. It looks so awesome though when you take those lanterns into a dark room. I am soo excited! I also now have my veil. My coworker was kind enough to lend me hers... so I am happy.
The most exciting things... is that finally we got the officiator! I was a bit worried there that we wouldnt be able to find anyone to marry us. What good is a wedding if there is no one to do the legal marriage cermony. That is all resolved though ($75 later).
All in all, the wedding stuff is coming along. I am not as busy with it all as i was. I actually have enough time now that I started re-reading the Twilight Series. I wanted to re-read the first 3 books before reading the new one that just came out.
Well off I go again. Tonight Mike's family is having a BBQ to celebrate all the august birthdays (his two sisters and nephew all have birthdays in august). It should be fun. His family is fun to be around. Plus... I love BBQ's! Till next time...

Flower Girl Baskets...

I was actually very productive today. I had the day off work and I made the most of it. I had to go take my finals in the morning... which I did OK on. I then went to the craft store and bought the stuff I need for flower girl baskets. I then went home, turned on a movie... and started being crafty. Here are the finished products...

Hopefully the flower girls with like them.

Yesterday we watched Mike's Niece and Nephew for a few hours. They wanted me to get some pictures of them in their cool hats.
This is Saleen in her Cool Dora Hat. Saleen is going to be one of my flower girls.

Dallas in his Dallas Cowboys hat and jersey. Dallas is in his terrible twos... so the best way we can entertain him... is to bring out the bubble wrap from when we moved in. That seems to entertain him for a little while. Anyways... it is always fun having them over. They are cute kids. I love how they say my name. Saleen calls me Mowissa and Dallas calls me Missa.

Well I need to get going. I just got paid today so off I go to Walmart for groceries!
