I'm Back!!// Photo Dump

Hello, loves!
 It's been quite a while since I've been on here. I think some of you had me given up for dead. *winks*
Whew!
 It's been a crazy time, ya'll, let me tell ya.
I haven't had time to sit down and do any form of blogging in forever. So please don't think I've been uninterested in your posts.
 I've been quite busy.

One last drive with Felicity before she became Mrs. Estola

We did a baby shower for my cousin

Girl's Last Night Out! 

After getting our nails done, we had supper at Red Robin's

I have a thing for salads. 

Yeah, I know, I'm a health nut. *wink*

My newly done nails next to the bride's dress

Picture of that soon!

Cormick and Callen are back! <333 

And the official last night out. 

Our favorite Pizza place

The groomsmen hid in a corner, so I didn't get any pictures of them.

*frowns and rolls eyes*

And the day before the wedding!

We had to assemble all the bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres 

before rushing off to the grange to decorate and rehearse.

Daminika helped for a moment, but Kirsten and I mainly did this *winks* 

Kirsten and I spent quite a bit of time on the arbor. 

It turned rather nicely, wouldn't you say?

Time to relax before rehearsal!

 

And now the wedding was over. 

So after church, we all invaded Burgerville

Everyone in this picture is with us, except the couple in the background

and the family in the right upper corner

Despite the crazy days, I managed to squeeze in a day

to go out with Shantelle and I so enjoyed it!

It was nice opening up on things I had never told anyone else

and getting to know her a little better. Thank you for the outing!

The first real meal since the wedding

Kirsten gave me a poetry book for my birthday

and I have loving it <333

The newlyweds returned from their honeymoon 

and everyone stopped by to say hello. They are re-doing

the wedding cake cutting because a lot of us were busy the day of the wedding

and we missed it. 

Cormick <3

We took a trip to Cabela's for the day with the newlyweds and the rest of the family. 

I enjoyed using the shooting range, even if they weren't real guns. lol

brother and sister <3

My score at the shooting range. *cough* 

I wasn't too great. I swear I do better with real guns.

 The days have not slowed down since the wedding, I'm afraid, so it's been hard for me to sit down at the computer. 

 Daminika, Marissa, Marita and I bought tickets for NH in May, so I've been doing odd jobs trying to earn money to pay for it all. 

 Gotta go see the Big Sister's new home! <3333  

And  I'm sorry to be rushing off again, but that's the way it goes. 

 I'll try to update more later on. 

Back in a flash!

Work, Wedding, and Fun// Life Update

no, that's not THE dress. That's a surprise

It's been plenty busy around here.
 How can I begin?
I've been working some now, and can't wait for the paycheck next month *so I need money. Don't judge me*
 Felicity actually has been joining me on my work days, because she would like to earn an extra buck or two for the wedding, ect., which has been wonderful for me.
 I get to spend some time with her, and get away with being a passenger instead of a driver. *lets out a hoot*

 

Last Friday we drove to work, but, unfortunately, we couldn't find the house we were scheduled to clean. 

 Yeeeeah..... 

We drove in circles for what seemed like hours, reading house numbers, laughing until we cried, yelling at the GPS for being a complete liar and fruit-loop. 

 Finally we gave up and texted Liz, saying we were completely lost and could the other girls meet us at the subdivision entrance? 

 So we waited around for them, sweating in the sunshine, even though it wasn't even 70 degrees, and moaning pitifully, "I wanna go home now. I quit." 

 When the girls finally showed up, they informed us that they didn't know where the house was either, so this'll be great. 

 So we drove around in circles again, this time following them. 

I'm sure all the Mexicans working on the houses were laughing at us, and thinking, "Oh, look they found a friend to wander around with." 

 Long story short, we finally found it, and construction cleaned the entire house in two hours. *sunglasses. I know. We're cool." 

 The next day, my mom, my cousins, and the rest of of the bridal party (me, Daminika, Marita, ect) piled into the mini-van to go wedding dress hunting!

 The place we went to was small, but clean, and the people were extremely friendly and helpful, offering us water, making sure we were comfortable, listening carefully to what Felicity was wanting, and it was an enjoyable experience. 

 Felicity found her dress there! *confetti* 

She was a little torn between the one up top, and a different one. 

 She really liked one, but wasn't sure if we could afford it, but we could, and she got her dress! <3 

We all got a little misty-eyed, I must confess, when she first came out with a veil on. 

 I think that's when it all seemed so real, and my throat got a little tight, but thankfully, I kept my bearings. 

 When she did finally find THE dress, the people were excited, even gave us sparkling cider, and prayed a blessing over Felicity, which I think got her a little emotional for a moment. 

 They seemed to be wonderful people. *smiles* 

Sunday, after church, we ran around town for a while, hunting for things for the wedding, which was loads of fun. <333

 We are getting there, ya'll! 

It's really happening!

 Maybe I'll survive this, after all. 

Well, I gotta split. 

 In tearing hurry! 

What have you been up to?

A Picture Post...Again!

Ah, the romance! Kaysha and Roger's wedding was absolutely beautiful and wonderful, and it will now have a place in my heart for all of my cherished memories.
 Serving the bridal table wasn't too bad, and I actually kind of enjoyed it. :)
Kaysha looked like Cinderella, Roger was the perfect prince charming, and they both looked so happy, it was the best wedding I have attended in a long time! :D
 Now that all of the hustle and bustle is over, I can get back into a regular schedule.
Last Saturday we were pleasantly surprised by my dear friend Kimberly!
 She is staying with us for two whole weeks, and I am so excited to have her for a while. :)

The guys helping out with the decorations

We filled all of these cages and lanterns with flowers and candles

So fairytale-ish! :) Love

 

The big day! Marita was a huge reason the wedding was possible and I think she did a wonderful job as personal attendant :) She deserves a medal!

Oh, Kaysha is so lovely, isn't she? *sigh* She was a beautiful bride, and Roger was so proud

Liberty caught the bouquet :)

 

Saying goodbye, and then they're off!

These girls are wonderful! :) Such good memories

 

Yeah, I know it's a random picture to post! ;) But when this pulled up next to us at Freddie's, I was ecstatic! Just had to share with you all! ;)



The awesome sunglasses that my sweet brother bought me for Christmas :) 

Isn't he just the best?

Beautiful view on the drive home....Oh, I love living here!

 

Kimberly surprised us all with a visit, and we got to keep her for two weeks!

Burgerville! Kimberly always requests to go there for lunch since they don't have one in Cheney

After church we went shopping at the mall

 

Kimberly asked to see the ocean before she left, so the next Sunday we headed to the beach after church

 

 

It was a BEAUTIFUL day, and the drive was gorgeous :)

 

Since Daminika posted more of the beach, I wasn't going to put up any pictures of the trip. :)

Some other things that have been happening....I passed my drive and am now a licensed driver!

 Yay! Applause all around! ;)

 I can't even tell you what a load it is off of my mind to have it done and over with. :) Stress gone in a second.

 Well, I can't think of anything else to say right now. So, I'll be seeing you all later! ;)

 

                                                           God's peace,
