Finally!

We finally got our wedding pictures back from our photographer. She gave me 8 CD's full of pictures so it took a while to go through them. These are some of my favorites!

This picture is by far my favorite one!

Me and Nell. The wedding was extra special because we used the ceremony from her wedding to Charles in 1940.

The cutest ring bearer and flower girl!

It's official!

Jay and I are now officially husband and wife. The wedding was great. We had such a great time and loved that all of our family and friends were there to share it with us. I don't have pictures from the wedding yet, but Jennifer was kind enough to take some pics of the rehearsal dinner.

So I was kind of proud of the centerpieces I made with our pictures.

Girls Night Out!

So my wonderful friends threw me a fantastic Bachelorette Party last weekend. It was WAY too much fun. We started at George's and then headed out for karaoke and dancing.

Me and Tamara

Luckily I had been practicing a song all week!

Some of the teachers from school were such troopers to put up with us!

What a fun night! Thanks Sara and Sarah!!

8 days and counting!!

Delinquent Blogger

So Rosemond informed me that it was time to update the "secret blog". So here it goes.

I have 3 weeks of school under my belt...33 more to go. My class this year is pretty good. I have a kid who winks at me all the time which is pretty funny. They are much more well behaved than my class last year but after that group I had no where to go but up. It has taken them 3 weeks to start calling me by my name (instead of calling me "teacher" which I hate). I informed them yesterday that I was getting married in 3 weeks and I will have a new name which may confuse them even more.

Wedding plans are going well. I think we have pretty much everything done. There are many more people coming than we first thought but it will be great. Jennifer took my bridal portraits last night and they turned out great...thanks Jen!

Last Saturday some of my friends from school and friends from Baylor had a shower for me. It was so much fun seeing everyone. It was kind of crazy seeing all the different groups of friends that I have mix but we had a great time. I think my grandmother Nell was definitely the hit of the party. Here is a pic of the Baylor girls thanks to Rosemond:

( Do I look like I just returned from a Hawaiin vacay or what??)

Next week is my bachelorette party...good stories to come!!

Back to School

Where did the summer go? Because I have been a lame blogger, I will just give you a quick recap. Jay and I went to the beach with our good friends Sara and Chad (and their girls) at the end of July. I don't have any pictures. Why, you ask? I was too busy sitting on the beach all day reading books. The trip was great and was just what we needed before getting back to the grind.
This was the first week of inservice and the kids come back to school Monday. I am definitely ready to get back into a routine.
Since I don't have any fab pictures from the rest of the summer, I will leave you with this...

Football season is upon us!!

Catching Up..

It's been a crazy few weeks. Here are some pics of some of the things we have been up to.

This is Lola. She's crazy. I love her, but she's crazy. Everyone said that once we got her spayed she would calm down. She did...for a day until the anesthesia wore off. Now she's crazy again.

Sweet Jennifer was so wonderful to do engagement pictures for us. We went last Thursday night. Jay actually was a pretty good sport about it (I had been worried about it since we got engaged) and the pictures turned out GREAT! Thanks, Jen!

I had my first shower yesterday. It was given by my mom's friends from church and I had so much fun. I got to see lots of people I haven't seen in years and we got a lot of great stuff.

Happy Birthday to me!

Saturday was my birthday and I had a wonderful day! Jay was working but my family and friends made sure I had plenty to do! My mom picked me and one of my grandmother's up and we met my dad, Nell, and Spencer for a delicious lunch at Chili's.

After lunch, my mom, grandmother and I went and got some things for hostess gifts for a shower her friends are having for me next weekend and looked for a few other things for the wedding. All that running around made me tired so I decided I needed a two hour birthday nap! After I woke up my sweet friend Sara and her girls Emily and Ella brought me some delicious birthday cupcakes. Forget fitting into the wedding dress...I have already eaten 6 of them by myself. Here is a picture of sweet Emily.

Thanks to all my peeps for the sweet birthday wishes! I only have 364 more days in my twenties!!
