...leading up to the weddin'

So. Here are some pictures leading up to the wedding!

The next post will have wedding pictures...I'm not sure why I'm posting them on my blog since the only person who hasn't seen them on facebook is my photographer...who took the pictures...oh well. It's something to do right?

And of course I still struggle with adding pictures so look at the pics from bottom to top.



Here is the right-before-I-walk-down-the-isle pic!! Excited I am!


These are the double rainbows after the rain the night before the wedding!


Here is the drive up to the ceremony. It was SUCH a perfectly beautiful day!


me and the some of the girls who went to get our hair done. :)



here I am getting the finishing touches on my hair and make up. Evolve Salon & Day Spa...they're awesome!




My hair taking shape...


This is me before the wedding look



This was our rehearsal dinner. After my mother-in-law confessed that the dinner was becoming too expensive at Silver Fork Lodge we decided to have Panda Express at the vacation home. :D Everyone was happy.



This is where my mom thought all the guys should stand at the front and the girls walk down by themselves...uh...not! haha! My mom likes to be in charge me thinks.


This is the wonderful table with the pictures and where the guest book should have been had it not been stolen the day before the wedding...well, stolen...lost...same thing.



My line of ladies and my moms. :) I gave the girls leatherbound journals and I totally burned their names into them with my leather-burny tool...it didn't turn out QUITE as well as I would have imagined...but it's the thought that counts! The bride and groom rehearsing! :)

campin' and huntin'

hello!

Last weekend we went camping because it was the start of the bow hunt.

Chase doesn't hunt but he's into archery and his brother and dad hunt so he went along with them and shot video of it all! Nathan has a tag for a deer and an elk and Bart has a tag for a deer, elk and antelope I guess. That's A LOT of hunting! But I don't think he minds ;)


People were out there camping from Tuesday to Monday I think but Chase and I were only there from Saturday morning until Sunday evening. The hunting season didn't officially start until Saturday and by the time we got there (around 12:30) Chases cousin Chelsea had already gotten a deer! And later her brother got a deer and then LATER LATER Nathan came home and had gotten his deer! What an exciting camping trip! It was my first time seeing a dead deer and, I'm not gonna lie, it was a bit much for me...I had a nightmare...shhhh don't tell my hardcore in-laws haha!




We played win, loose or draw...it's basically pictionary. The whole game is drawing and I'm pretty sure nobody really wanted/liked to draw but we all played anyway!

Here is Nathan and his dad and Chase with the deer Nathan got! I didn't name the deer because he was dead...it did cross my mind though... There were also other pictures of the deer but they were a bit more...bloody so I left them out.

This was behind the campsite. SO beautiful!!

I went on a walk Sunday morning and it was great! I saw a doe, a deer, a female deer.



We also played phase 10 while the hunters were hunting. In this had I had the first turn and I got out my first turn!! So, that was a short round haha! Doesn't really matter because Breana kicked all of our butts anyway haha!


oh yeah, I also saw cows on my walk!! One saw me and got up from where he was laying and started to walk over to me but I got scared and ran away...I'm a city girl and I don't know what cows are capable of!!


The men in their camo!

Just another Wednesday night

Chase and our went to Nathan and Breana's house last night (my brother and sister-in-law.) It was fun because I got to see all of the baby stuff Breana had for Olivia and I kinda helped put her crib together! It was fun. AND I got to see the ultrasound! It was totally RAD! Mommies and babies are amazing! :)


Here is my husband's concentration face...

here is what the guys did while Breana and I were taking care of business. Starcraft.


Crib full of fun new baby stuff!

Here are some SUPER CUTE, HOMEMADE, flower hair clips/headbands and bracelets for Olivia! :D

Look how tiny!!!

There she is! That's her...something...I dunno...

This is the SNUZZLER...not the SNUGGLER, which is a cute name, the SNUZZLER...what is snuZZling anyway??


Starting crib....


Finished crib! :) Love the cute bedding!

So....I am bored. I'm at work...it's my early day...my early day always goes by SO slowly! Probably because I'm so focused on it being early... WELL I'm really trying to stay focused at work. Sometimes I go to work with otehr stuff on my mind like "Oh, I can get this bill paid at work." Or "I can look up this information at work." When I should really be here TO WORK! But when the phones aren't ringing it gets SOOOOOOOOOOO boring! And if I don't do SOMETHING else to keep my interests up then I get really tired and slow moving/thinking and I'm unfocused. I almost prefer busy days. *sigh*
I miss Bejeweled. That game was MUCH easier to play in between calls. Reading a book is too involved and I don't want to stop in teh middle of a sentence to answer the phone!! That's just crazy!

Well, there ya go. A new blog post.
