Big Announcement

I am proud to announce that my lovely younger sister is engaged and will be married this spring. The wedding will be in Guatemala and a reception/big party/ shower/ blessing will be in Texas this summer.

We absolutely love Allan and are looking forward to him being apart of our crazy family.

Exciting days are ahead of us!

Rings

I see this picture and I remember being in a room with our wedding party right after we left the sanctuary. We had just run down the hall with complete smiles on our face. The ceremony just ended but the reception hadn't started yet. This picture shows how with all the excitement going on around just holding hands together brings us both peace. You can see that right?

Our photographer came down there with us and this was one of two pictures that were taken in that room.

The other picture that was taking is a picture of Tim and my dad hugging. Super sweet picture. But I'm not here to show that picture. Maybe I'll show it another day.

Anyways....

Love you Honey!

Happy 5th Anniversary

Happy Anniversary to my most wonderful husband and my best friend. You make life so interesting and fun. You are the best dad I could ask for for our kids and I know they already look up to you.

I'm happy you are alive and well!!! I thank God daily for your health!!

You are the best and I look forward to living the rest of our lives together.

And like I said earlier in the week. Don't die because we still have the rest of our lives to live together.

Love you babe!!!

Anniversary

Tim and I's anniversary is coming up at the end of this month. I can't believe we have been married 4 years. I was thinking back the other day while we were watching a Mav's game how much has changed. Yeah I know a Mavericks game what made me think of our relationship during a Mavericks game. Well it just so happens that our first "date" was watching a Mav's game together. Tim was invited to watch the game at the Benjamin's house and he took me along with him. It was fun.


In the last six years this is what has happened...in a nutshell:
started dating
watch a mavs game
we get a fish (George)
got engaged
Tim moved out of his parents house into our apartment
we get married
I move in
we get another fish (George II)
we get a dog
we buy a house
we move into the house
we get another fish (George III)
we get pregnant
we have a baby (TJ)
watch a mavs game.

See how life takes you around and then brings you right back.

We are celebrating by having an evening out without the boy. It will be fun and I'll post another blog about that later.

Terry and Lizzie Sanders

Well they made it to the big day. I am so proud of them. They have both had rough lives before they met each other. I am so glad that they found each other, better late than never. I know that these two love each other so much but put God before the other. Terry has been close to home the last few years and could hang out at the drop of a hat. He and Lizzie have been coming to our church and have come to family nights on Wednesdays. They are living in North Garland (closer to Jonathan and Allyson) now and we are already missing them. I know that they are still close but still too far away. We will definitely be having Terry and Lizzie withdrawals. 

Terry assigned me in charge of decorating the sanctuary. This was a little difficult because this was the first time I was decorating for someone else. I elected Debbie Russell to help me. She has done weddings before and is very creative with creating something from scratch. Here is a picture of the sanctuary:

its hard to tell but the plants in the front on top of the pillars are red roses and the plants on the back pillars are ferns with red roses in them.

The wedding turned out beautiful.  Everyone cried and ceremony and reception went smoothly.

We love you guys and we are so proud of you. Congratulations Terry and Lizzie Sanders!!!

Weddings Everywhere

I guess February this year is the time to get married. Okay, that may be an overstatement. I only know of two couples getting married this month this year. For one My uncle is getting hitched. I know I’ve blogged about that before but the big day is this Saturday. This will be slightly hectic for me. Terry put me in charge of decorating the sanctuary…AAHHH. I was nervous about getting it all put together considering I don’t have any decorations. There is a lady at our church that is really good at this kind of stuff. She is going to help me but we are going up to the church on Tuesday night, on Friday night and then possibly again on Saturday morning.

On top of all the wedding stuff this week we are getting Uverse installed on Friday. We have shows still left on our DVR to watch and then have all the shows this week to watch. The bad thing about this is that Tim has band of brothers tonight, I’m decorating the church on Tuesday, Wednesday is family night, Thursday is my bible study at church, then Friday they will be coming at 12 to work on the TV and Internet. Bottom line, no time to get them watched. I guess we’ll just have to go watch TV at the Peery’s house once our schedule calms down..hint hint.

Next weekend our friend Andy is getting married in Arkansas. We are going to be driving up to Little Rock and staying with Rick, Sarah and Piper on Friday night, wedding is Saturday at 2 in Russellville, then after the wedding festivities we will be driving over to Bentonville to spend the night with Bill and Debra. We are planning to go to their church on Sunday then home after lunch.

I will of course post pictures when the weddings are complete. Love is in the air!
