30 DBC- Day 30

This is the end, my friends! I made it! Yipee!

SO, the last prompt is what are my plans for the rest of my life.

Well, I intend to spend the remainder of my life with Ryan. I would love to finish school and get my nursing degree. I'm leaning towards OB-GYN nursing, but we'll see! I would love to buy a house with him and have kids...one boy, one girl and then a set of twins. We have talked about names already....and there is a good chance we will have twins (Ryan's gramps on his mom side is a twin, Ry's uncle on his dad's side is a twin and my mom is a twin, so even if it skips a generation or is just on one side, we're covered! :) ) If we can't have kids for some reason, we're going to buy a farmhouse, re-do it and get a lot of doggies.

But, of course, things don't go how you plan, and who knows what the future holds!?!




So, I promised you photos on day 10, so here it is....or they are! I figured I owed you more than one since it's been awhile....

I was almost three

Five. For Easter

Seven. I was a princess for Halloween

Nine. I am a rollerblading phenomenon.

And, I found this one of my Wishbone doggie when she was a puppy. Aww!

SO, my plans for the blog is to be an 'update-what's going on'/recipes/crafts(fabric earring tutorial coming)/recaps of my honeymoon (I never did that!)/and anything else you guys what to hear. Let me know!! :)

30 DBC- Day 10

*A Photo of you from ten years ago*

I, unfortunately, do not have access to my old photographs. However, I am planning on going to my parents home (where the photos are) this weekend. So, stay tuned....I owe ya one (or a few)! :)


On a side note-When it rains, it pours, so if you guys get around to it...send happy thoughts my way!

30DBC-Day 9

*A photo you took*

I took this photo on our honeymoon in Eleuthera. And I just realized that I never blogged more than one day! I think that should change after my 30 day challenge...!

30DBC-Day 8

Day 8 (sort of...I truly have an appreciation for you gals who blog every day!)

*A photo that makes you sad/angry*

This is a picture of a picture of my grandpa. He passed away February 2008 from cancer. It was really hard to not have him at my wedding, but seeing the blue of his shirt in random wedding photos makes me smile.

30DBC-Day 7

Sorry Friends, I forgot to do yesterday's post. So, I think I owe you a 'real' post...:)

*A Photo that makes me happy*

This is a photo of Toby when he was a few months old and he was stinky. He needed a bath, and since he's half pom, all the pom fluff flatted, and he looked so ridiculous and pathetic. But this photo makes me so happy. I love my baby. :)

{One on One}

We had an awesome bridal party. Seriously, the best party in the world. They made everything so much fun, and it was like a big celebration for us on our big day. Everyone pretty much grew up together/knew each other, and I'm sure that's what did it. We had such a great day, and some of the credit goes to them! We love you all!!

First, MOH Stassia!

You are amazing.

Bethany (Beth)!

She is a beautiful person.

SIL Lindsay

So cute, so great. 

Ryan's Best Man, Garrett

Such an interesting guy, 

we've had our ups and downs, but I can honestly say I see him as a friend.

Groomsman, Wade

There's never a dull moment with Wade!

Groomsman, Nick

He is one of our closest friends as a couple. We've been through a lot together (Nick and I went K-12 together!) and he is truly an amazing guy.

I'll say it again, we had such a great day and we love you all so much!

{Group Love-Part 2}

We did two sessions of group shots/bride and groom shots in two different locations. Check out my previous post for the first of the group shots and the post before that for the first session of Ryan and I. We all got loaded up in cars and drove to our second location. These ones are my favorite! Here they are!!

                                       

                                       

                                       

                                      

                                                          

Pretty epic

                                        

           

                                      

                                        

                                        

I love this

                                        

     

              

                                      

What did I tell you....pretty good, huh?

Group Love, Part 1

We did several amazing group shots in two very awesome locations. One location was at the park we were getting married and where we did our first look and the other, well, you'll have to stay tuned! :)

I love flipping between the black and white photos and the color ones. The colors are so amazing and vibrant! I love how the girls dresses turned out and the guys look so spiffy. Honestly, it was 89 degrees and 100% humidity and these guys were such troopers! We were outside for quite a bit and they were all melting. The girls were fine and so happy I chose chiffon for their short dresses, but the men had on three piece black suits. Yuck. At least my dress was silk so it was a little bit cooler!

Here is part one!

We love each other

JUMP!

These are definitely worth clicking and making larger!

MOH's hair...haha

Me with the fellas

Ry with the gals

Running on the bridge. I wasn't sure how these would turn out (umm....strapless dress minus the bra...) but I was actually quite pleased!

This one always makes me want to say...Peek-a-Boo!

Love this one. I can totally see it on our wall.

{First Look}

So, we decided to do a first look. I know it's not traditional by any means and to tell you honestly, I never thought that I would do it. However, after deciding to have an outdoor wedding, it turns out that there was not any time to take photos. And, honestly, photos are in the top five most important things to a wedding (for me anyways!). So, first look it was. Ryan was so relieved (he was very, very worried about nerves/anxiety) at the wedding-this seemed like the perfect solution! And in the end, I was so glad that we had a first look. It was the most special time in my life-it was just Ryan and I. Our bridal party joined us shortly afterwards and we had bunches of group shots so we had the privilege to spend TONS of time together celebration and having fun pre-ceremony (all of our bridal party knew each other pretty well before engagement!). Anyways, my ranting is over....here they are!

Sneaky, sneaky...(through the goose poop!)

Surprise!

Best kiss ever! I love my tippy toes!!

So picturesque with the ducks

O! There's someone else here!

DIP!

So there you have it! Our first look. LOVE.
