showering and running

Big weekend for the Barretts! First of all, it was our 6 month wedding anniversary and our 1 year engagement anniversary. Since we got engaged exactly 6 months before we got married, every anniversary is a double whammy. I can't believe it has been half a year already. In some ways it seems like a week ago we were picking out menu items and hanging up lanterns. You may be wondering how we celebrated this milestone in our marriage. Well we celebrated by being in Allen, doing completely separate things. We had a lot going on this weekend. Tate had some guy stuff to do while I had girly stuff. It was a weekend full of family, friends and festivities. What festivities? Well, I am glad you asked...

*Wedding showers* 
Congrats to Meg&Jordan and Laura&Benton! Both had beautiful wedding showers Saturday. These were the first wedding showers for me to go to as a married lady. It was fun to be a part of their special day, eat all the good food and see all the fun wedding gifts. Now off to writing those thank you notes! I don't envy you at all...we still have 10 left to do...oops! We promised we are going to do them tonight, but we have been saying that since November. Good luck to you!



Besties and moms at the shower. We've been friends for 14 years! Wow. Whoever was born in the year that we met would be getting their learners permit next year. What I am trying to say is, that is a long time and we've been through a lot. Loves ya!


*Ft. Worth*
Post showers, we headed off to Ft. Worth for the bachelorette party to savor Meg's dwindling days of singleness. It was a blast! Mexican food, cake, Pete, Winnie the Poo sing-a-longs and the bride-to-be on a piano. What's not to love?! Despite the rain and a little bit of getting lost, we had a great time running around Ft. Worth together. I think after we all get married, we should still have an annual Bachelorette party. We can trade off being "honorary bachelorette." I call it first!


*McKinney Triathlon*
Saturday my dad and Tate played golf, then Sunday was the big day. The McKinney sprint triathlon. They have been training and counting down the days until the big race. It was my dad's 1st and Tate's 2nd triathlon. They swam, biked and ran the whole thing in the rain! They are so hardcore. They said the swim is the hardest part due to the fact people are constantly hitting you, kicking you and pushing you under the water. Sounds intense, way to go! 


Look how official they are. I am sorry we didn't get a picture of them in the wetsuits, but it must have paid off. They got 4th and 5th in their age divisions. Props. #224 and #98 are my heros! 
Next up: Waco olympic triathlon, Summer 2010
