the big day...

Ok. So I just wrote a LONG post on the wedding day but it somehow got deleted. Boo. I just don't have the energy to write another one. SOOOOO - here are some pictures of the big day. (They aren't necessarily in order. Blogger is giving me fits.)

Some of my kiddos:

I'm not quite sure what to say here... :)

This picture just cracks me up. I'm not sure why...

My girls........................................ enough said.

let the party begin...

Back in April, my wonderful, beautiful bridesmaids threw me a personal shower. It was absolutely FABULOUS! Everything was beautiful, everything tasted divine... It was such a blessing to be around such great women! Here are some of the pictures from that day. :)

My wonderful mom!

Love it!

this just in!

I GOT MARRIED! haha.

I know it has been a while... and most likely those that read this are ones that I tend to talk to often!

It has been a crazy several months - ones that were kind of a whirlwind!

I have plenty of pictures (compliments of Jennifer, Lori, Hollie, Amy, etc) that I will post in subsequent posts so stay tuned!!! I just wanted to write SOMETHING so I wouldn't be forgotten. :)

There has been a WHOLE heck of a lot of changes in my life. I am married now. I now have in-laws. I have a roommate that just won't go home at night. :) I could go on and on... but all of this has got me out of my groove. Now don't get me wrong, I ADORE my husband!! I have just gotten lazy with all of the "planning" for the big day and then trying to get back to life.

So... I'm on a quest. And I'm going to put these down for all to see just so I can have a little "pressure".

- Lose 15 pounds by my birthday. (Thats 7 weeks. Yikes. My ultimate goal is 20 so anything more than 10 would be fabulous by then!)

- Start training for the White Rock Half Marathon. (Would have been easier a month ago when I was running 7 miles at a time but NOW I can only run 2 1/2. What a difference 3 weeks off makes!!)

- Pick up a new hobby. (Not sure what that is yet... so if you have any suggestions, let me know!!)

- Cook a new recipe every week for dinner. (And if you have any good ones, send them my way!!)

- Be content with what the Lord has given me... because He has given me WAY more than I could every imagine or deserve. I just need to change my eyes and what I'm holding on to.

- Strive to be more selfless, a servant.

- Be more joyful. (This kind of goes hand-in-hand with a couple of others above.)
