Steph Down Under: Update of the past 3 weeks

Yah I suppose now you are thinking since Stephanie is all engaged she must have been so busy planning the entire wedding and all the planning is over with so she has had no time to blog. Sorry folks, not the case. In fact we don't even have a venue or date (We are VERY close though) But, I have been busy. I might just take you through a short timeline since the engagement.

Went to the Sydney Zoo with Chloe! It was so awesome! Australian Animals > American Animals. '

Fly Home - only 15 hour flight instead of the 19 hour flight over to Australia.
BREEZE through customs - man did it feel good to be an American in that customs line. There was a long line for non US citizens but only 3 people in the US line. 'Merica. Also I flew direct to Dallas this time which was super nice.
Get home and go straight to get my nails done with my mom - after eating fruit of course! Man I missed the costco fruit my parents purchase for me. I will love them forever for that. Every time I come home my parents buy all my favorite fruit for me and I am the happiest Stephanie there could be.
Had La Madeline for dinner because it sounded good.
Waited as all the guests arrived at our house to stay the night before heading to Austin the next day.
Drove Down to Austin, TX for my brothers wedding. On the way there I asked this girl to be my Maid of Honor! Sorry for the blurry pic but so excited for her to stand by me as I say I do!

Then after a rehearsal dinner, sleepless night, workout with my brother on his wedding day, hair, make-up, wind, hair again...there was a wedding. And this beautiful bride is now my sister in law! Yay I was so happy to be a part of your special day.

Popcorn, pictures, food, dancing, cake, sparklers, and rapping and the night was over. It was SUCH a fun wedding! Lets do it again. Oh wait...we can!
The next day was filled with people hungover and looking through videos and pictures saying, "I did that?" My mom made sure and sent photos of me dancing to my fiance all night. Thanks mom.
My favorite quotes of the day after:

Dad: "Now Stephanie tell me something, was there a point where there was a big circle on the dance floor and I was in the middle dancing" "Yes, yes there was dad"
Mom: "Hey Stephanie did you take my eyelashes off last night (fake eyelashes)" "Yes, yes I did mom"

After that came the drive home from Austin, family staying over, looking at venues, seeing friends, immigration lawyers office, insurance company, post office, and all other things that needed to be done.
Then it was time to go back on the plane
Arrive in Sydney and straight back to work.
But then Ash picked me up after work on Friday and said hey I already picked up stuff for dinner and watermelon, pineapple, and pomegranate for dessert. Um excuse me I think I will keep you around. What a champ fiancé. And this chicken is the BEST!! I might just marry you for this alone. Jokes.
