Introducing the Mr. & Mrs.

The wedding Party

Some of the bridal pictures by Brooke

It seems like forever since I've been on here.

The wedding went really well...better than expected. You know how usually there is at least one thing that doesn't go as planned, well that didn't happen with us thankfully!! After the last minute things & rehearsal were taken care of, it was nice & relaxing. I think the rest of the family were more nervous than I was. :) LOL

Since the wedding Jonathan & I have just been settling into our new life together & back into our routine & work schedule, etc.

Please help us pray that God will continue to help us as we are starting our life together & as we look to Him for His will & direction in our life together.

So much has been going on lately with work, wedding planning & life in general. We are finally down to a month until the wedding, but still have some things to get done. Once things calm down I'm going to try & update my blog as soon as I can. :)

Bargains!

This past week my mom & I decided to go looking at a store nearby that I have been wanting to visit for quite some time. There was all sorts of different items both new and old, crafts, vintage, antiques, you name it. They have reasonable prices too, which is awesome! I wasn't able to get much this trip and didn't see too much that I really needed, but I did find this really nice set of candelabras for only $15. I couldn't pass that deal up especially considering that we needed something like this for the wedding also!

At another store that we recently visited, I found this dry sink which I'm planning on using in my kitchen/dining room as a small buffet. It was originally brown and needed a little "TLC", so I decided to paint it! :) I love dark furniture & this will go great in my house with my kitchen/dining room decor!

Happy 4th!

Happy Independence Day!!

Let's not forget what this day means & stands for!!

Silver Dollar City/Branson~ Part 2

The slide at the half indoor/half outdoor pool where we were staying. It was really neat & Brooke & I both had fun!

Brooke getting ready to be "launched off" on the "Powder Keg"

Powder Keg again...I wouldn't ride it...too fast and last time I rode this roller coaster it really freaked me out. :)

Brooke saw the water on these flowers and decided to take a picture.

We decided to stop by the Table Rock Lake one day for a little bit

Thanks Brooke for taking all of the pictures from our trip! Hopefully we can do this again maybe next year or sometime soon! Love ya!
