Married & Merry
A few weeks ago a dear friend of mine tied the knot. I was lucky enough to be a bridesmaid and couldn't have asked for a more wonderful partner for my friend Amanda. Jon and Amanda got married in Scottsdale, AZ and it was the most fun wedding I have ever been to (no offense friends of mine that are married)!
We got into AZ on Thursday night and stayed with our friends Rachel & Jarod. Friday night we had the rehearsal dinner at Fogo de Chao, which was delicious. Below are some pictures of us & our wedding party gifts.
Saturday the girls finished getting ready around noon and left to take pictures at the beautiful venue - Sassi in Scottsdale!
These were all the girls from my sorosrity --- Alpha Phi! Hotties!

So congrats to the newlyweds Mr. & Mrs. Weeks!

Murphy's Law
I'm sure Ken won't be too happy with me posting about his little accident but I felt it was definitely blog worthy.
Some guys from Ken's work started a flag football team and begged Ken to join since he had played all through high school and college. They showed up at the fields completely unprepared (i.e. someone ordered the flags from China and they hadn't arrived yet, they had never practiced together as a team, and they didn't have enough people at the beginning of the game). They bummed some flags off of a ref and began the game one player short praying for the best.
After the first half the Caesars team was down. The team they were playing against was a seasoned flag football team with plays and routes and even a coach. (Ken's team in red)
I was the only person there that came to watch and I brought some wine to keep me company! It was cold and windy so I ended up in Ken's hoodie to keep my hair from flying everywhere.
About two minutes into the second half Ken came running over to the sideline with his hand in the air. His ring finger was down, like in the ASU hand sign, and I thought it had been ripped off. Good news was that is was still attached...bad news was it was just flopping on his pinkie and he couldn't move it.
We loaded up in the car and I drove him to an urgent care to get it looked at. We thought it was just dislocated with how it was hanging but the doctor later confirmed it was broken in two places. Neither one of us thought to take his ring off before it really started to swell...oops. The doctor thought he was going to have to cut off his wedding ring but we ended up doing some cool tourniquet and used some lube to pull it off. Once the ring was pulled off the doctor proceeded to tell Ken, "If your finger wasn't broken before...it sure is now." Geeze, thanks doc!
He has had to be in a splint for a few weeks and it should heal on it's own. I guess the moral of the story is that whatever can go wrong...goes wrong for Ken. Needless to say Ken, or Murphy as we should call him, will be out for the rest of the season.
