Where Have I Been? Part One, Wedding

Hi friends!


I had a very fun and eventful past two weeks....but I'm happy to be back!  We kicked off our fun-filled vacation with my friend Diane's Wedding Weekend!  Diane has been my friend since 7th grade and did track with me in junior high, highschool, and college.  She is my oldest friend!

We started of the wedding day (Saturday, July 16th) bright and early at the hair dresser's.  I wasn't a fan of my hair stylist (she pretty much told me she despised me because she had to deal with my thick hair) but I thought all of our hair turned out pretty great.  Diane picked an awesome hairstyle for us bridesmaids.  I love the side bun!

 We spent 7:30 am - 1:00 Getting our hair done, getting ready at Diane's parent's house, and taking pictures.  It is a lot of work getting ready for a wedding, but I absolutely loved the dresses, shoes, earrings, bracelets, and flowers Diane picked out for us.  I loved wearing this dress!

I swear I slept over Diane's house every weekend in 7th grade.
In the limo with Beth!!


SHE IS SO PRETTY!!!  Love the hair, makeup, dress, tiara....she looked perfect!

Freshman Year Roommates!
My escort Dave, who is Diane's brother-in-law.

There she is!!  It was soo cute when Christ saw her at the alter.  They looked so happy!

We had a lot of fun at the reception - and he even matched his tie to me :)
 It was a great day and it was so neat to think that I was in the wedding of someone I have been friends with since 7th grade.  This is why I love running - I met Diane during Cross-Country practice in 7th grade and have been friends ever since!

The reception was great and what was even better was that the next morning we would be flying to Mexico!!!

Wedding Anniversary!!!

Have been having a great week working as a nanny.  We went to a lot of fun places, like Soergel's, three different parks, the pool, and the library.  The exciting thing is that I am OFF for such a long time!  The family is going to Wisconsin and I won't return to work until July 6th!!!  Time to do lots of home projects.

THe only bummer thing is that I have been resting from running to heal my knee, but at least I can use the spin bike and lift like crazy at the gym.  I am trying to not let it get me down though because......

Sunday is our One Year Anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And what a great year it has been!  It was so fun, exciting, and went by so fast.  I feel like it will be our 60th anniversary before we know it.

Our wedding day was truly the  best day of our lives and I am a teeny bit sad I am not hanging out with my family and friends at the best party I ever attended.  However, I will post some of my favorite pictures so everyone can reminisce with me!!!!
