"Boot Scootin' Boogie"

-Ok, so I was going to post a video to go along with this post, but the video is HUGE and it won't upload. I think I'm going to have to upload it to youtube then post the link. Anyway, ,I still wanted to get this post up on the blog...so here it is (sans video). :)

Our good friends, A and M are getting married in May. Yay for them! About a month ago now (wow...time has definitely flown by), they had an engagement party. It was held in the Wild Wild West. :) It was actually really neat. The party was in this dirt lot in the far east...past Fort McDowell Casino (yes I do use this as a point of reference and yes I assume everyone is as casino crazy as me :P), but not quite to the Salt River. In this dirt lot, there was a Wild West set-up. Apparently it's always there for people in the neighborhood to use as a party site. It has several buildings, such as a saloon, jail, etc...that look exactly the way they do at Rawhide. A huge bonfire went all night, people sang to karaoke, and 3 kegs were provided. Holy geez! 3 KEGS...the more crazy thing is I think they actually finished them all.

Anyway it was a really good time and they are a really awesome couple and I can't wait to join in all the wedding festivities yet to come. Did I mention that I love bridal shower games. :D?

Below are some pictures...and in one of them, I think you can see the store fronts in the background.

If you thought that was the end of my post...you are in for an awesome surprise. :) 3 of my girlfriends and I decided to put together a performance, if you will. It was for the honored couple and it was so much fun. Our men, of course, were a little embarrassed and tried to claim that they came stag to the party...but the crowd was loving us...so I think it was all worth it. I'll upload the video to youtube and post the link soon. :)
