The Hnou Mrs.: pictures

I know Zac Efron is like 16 (not really, I think he's like 20?), but seriously, can he get any cuter??

Hli and I 1/2 chipotle chicken sandwich & a cup of chicken wild rice soup'ed (Hli had the Greek salad instead of the soup) at Panera on Saturday night. Yum. I love that place. And I think I'm going to low-fat Greek salad it for a couple weeks (I do these little stints as part of my wedding-diet... bad, I know-- I'm so sick of lean cuisines)-- so if anyone has any good Greek salad recipes/renditions, pass them on over :)

Anyway, we went and saw 17 Again. I'm such a tween at heart... cause I <3'd the movie. haha. It was cute, funny, and really feel-goody... and again, Zac Efron... hot. haha.

I'm dragging Chris to go see it at some point... or renting it anyway. He's so excited if you had to ask... (not really. At all.).

I met the cutest little blond girl in a pink dress and yellow rain boots yesterday. She was absolutely adorable.

And the cutest little boy evAr.

And then discovered an entire playground of antique cars out in the country.

You can take the girl out of the city, but you can't take the city out of the girl.

So before I go into my lovely post, let me just say one thing:

This above substance is So. Gross. Ew. It may be less in calories than my beloved Yoplait brand (by 20 calories), but it does NOT taste good at all.

That is all. Regarding that anyway.

So I can't believe I haven't posted about the girls in my life who are also the attendants on my side in my wedding. I thought today would be appropriate. Just because.

Meet my sisters. My BFFsNoMatterWhat-s. My older sister PaHoua (the one on the left) is my matron of honor and also holds the wedding planner duties as well and my baby sister Hli (the one on the right) is my maid of honor. They've been there from the very beginning and even helped in coordinating the proposal with Chris to make it perfect. I love them. *sigh* Aren't we lovely?

Bridesmaids
Rache. She's from my Crown College days. We shared a crazy freshmen year & summer together. She just gets me in a different way.

Sad, I realized I don't have a picture with Lauren. She's so cute though, isn't she? She's so sweet and I was super nervous about meeting Chris' family for the first time a year & 1/2 ago, but she was SO sweet and easy to get along with & I am so excited to be part of the fam!

And I can't find my pictures with Sammy either. She's my little cousin. She's so stinkin' adorable, though isn't she? I can't wait to see her! We're so much alike, it's kinda funny.

My special attendants:

Pang. We've been friends/sisters for like 10 or 11 years now! We met at church in youth group and then we lead praise & worship together & sang in the choir together. She married my cousin last June. *sigh* She's amazing and I love her-- she's my go-to girl! This is from her fab surprise bridal shower we threw her last year.

Phoua. She's Pang's sister. We're so much alike! I love her to bits! She got married before me or Pang (Pang's older & I'm actually older than Pang) so she's the "experienced" one. haha. It took a little longer for us to hang out at first, but wow, we've come a long way and I wouldn't trade her for anything. Plus, I'm the only one she trusts borrowing her shoes cause I care about them more than even Pang does! haha.

Flower girls:
This is where it gets unbelieveably hard to narrow down what pictures to share. OMG, I love these little chipmunks.

Kayla's getting so big and tall and skinny! Such a beautiful little girl with SO much hair. It's so thick & long!

I miss Kayla as a baby, but she's grown so much and is starting to read & spells EVERY word she spots.

Now, I don't have any favorites, but Anela and I just click. She's my baby *believe me, Kayla's Hli's baby-- right from the start* I used to go see her on my way to Crown every Sunday night (going back to campus after the weekend) and just hold her. She's also the most talkative, sassy, funny, & photogenic little girl evAr.

(this one's at a carnival and she was *so* upset that we let someone draw on her face-- she picked the kitty look though-- but somehow it was our fault. haha)

(And yes, you can normally find her still eating candy. Bad, I know.)

I know, I see London, I see France... she's gonna be so mad at me someday.

Oh and she LOVES Chris.

And Meya. She is everyone's baby. Seriously. She is the most animated. And SO freakin cute. If you ask her what her name is, she always goes "meYA!" emphasizing on "YA!" and it's high pitched. So freakin cute. And she sings. Or mumbles. To the tune. Precisely. And she does have more hair now. Not by much, but she does now have hair. haha. & She does the cutest "But whyyyy?."
