Journey to the Reception and Reception Perception
At long last, here are some photos from Ryan & Marie’s reception!! Alas, it was sooooo hot in the limo (the AC was BROKEN. Not just weak. Oh, no. It did not work AT ALL… and the windows didn’t open! Ha!), that nobody thought to take any pictures enroute to the yacht club. We were [...]
In Celebration of 5
The morning of our anniversary dawned clear and gorgeous! Blue sky, puffy clouds, warm but not too hot temperatures. It was almost a carbon copy of our wedding day. How perfect was that for our anniversary?? For a multi-sport athlete, or at least the one I live with, there is no such thing as a [...]
Five.
I remember when I turned 5. I was really excited to show people how old I was because it was a whole hand worth of fingers. Now I get an opportunity to do that again. Not for age this time, but for years married. Yes, that’s right! As of today, Kevin and I have officially [...]
In the Presence of God and these Witnesses
The preparations were made, and the waiting was over. The time had arrived for Ryan and Marie to become husband and wife!! It was a beautiful ceremony, but you don’t have to take my word for it! Here are the photos Kevin took during the ceremony:
Gettin’ Ready, Goin’ to the Chapel & The Waiting Game
Gettin’ Ready Ryan and Marie’s day began with overcast skies. As Ryan rechecked the weather forecast, Dad mixed up a double-batch of his special (read: DEEE-licious) homemade waffles. They were divinely yummy. After the breakfast huddle, the family dispersed to all of our scheduled activities. Ryan and Kevin departed to play disc golf with the [...]
The Day Before the Big Day
Friday evening was the rehearsal at Christ the King Lutheran Church, followed by the rehearsal dinner at Buddy’s!! We realized on the way to the church that we’d left our camera at my parents’ house. Since we were riding with them—and the ever important decorations for the church that we needed to assemble before the [...]
Ryan & Marie’s Wedding Weekend Recap
This post brought to you by the letter B and the number 3 a power outage that occurred this afternoon and closed the office. The power outage occurred after lunch… and after 20 minutes sitting in the dark, the decision was made by the powers that be to close the office. It couldn’t have happened [...]
Holy Eye Makeup, Batman!
In the interest of looking absolutely, 100% stellar in R & M’s wedding pictures (I am nothing if not a devoted sister/bridesmaid), I made myself an appointment at the salon for a Spring Update Color Consult…. and I came out looking like this: It’s either complete and utter disbelief over the amount of gunk that [...]
Hello, Memorial Day Weekend!
Memorial Day Weekend, I’m so glad you’re here! The calendar says we have a few weeks to go until summer, but I don’t believe it. To me, this is the official start of summer! I need no further proof than the absolutely gorgeous weather we’ve been having! Steamy 90s earlier this week, freaky summer storm [...]
Flower Frenzy
As if the multiple flats we already had waiting to be planted weren’t enough, we headed to Romence Gardens to pick up some more! What sparked this quest for additional plant-age, you ask? Well, the back corner of our yard that surrounds our garden boxes was in desperate need of some color. And the flats [...]
