It actually happened! Can you believe it? I am still pinching myself! I had the best weekend of my life! Forgive the post title but I couldn’t resist. I married my best friend and we’ve been waiting for what seems like forever for this day!!! Thanks sooooo much for all your well-wishes and Congrats! It’s warmed my heart to go through the messages! I wish everyone could have been here for this special time in our lives! It’s Monday morning already and the weekend flew too quickly. But it’s pretty exciting stuff to have Shane a daily-forever part of our lives. The girls were so excited and still are. It’s been an incredible ride (yes that too!) and I am feeling very blessed.
Here are a few photos my Sister Deanna got for us. Between my bro Ryan, Deanna, Michelle, Lisa, Becky and my Dad…..we are going to have some beautiful memories on film. There will be many more photos to share over the next few weeks. Just wanted to get some that I had up right away for ya! Now…..For this coming week….Maddy’s Baby Shower, My Granny’s 80th birthday party, Cooking a Turkey Christmas Dinner here on Friday night for Shane’s family, and somewhere in there I have to get some Christmas shopping done that’s barely been started. Oh…….and mail out the Christmas Cards.
All while working 12 hours a day watching 10 daycare kiddos. GOOD TIMES!!! I love this time of year!

Ohhhhh, I am crying, I am so very happy for you guys, you look absolutly radiant. (So does Shane). I remember when Gary and I went to the Temple. You just can’t explain the feeling of gratitude can you?? Many congrats and blessings, I know you will receive. Please don’t forget to enjoy the holidays together, alone, just the two of you.
