Wedding Shower Pictures!












This weekend was my wedding shower at Immanuel! I had so much fun, but I think my mom had more fun than anyone there. Kevin and I got to go and open presents the night before and eat some yummy BBQ! I am still in shock over all the gifts and overwhelmed about how to write that many "thank yous". Kevin thinks we might need a bigger house and some extra insurance! Thanks so much to everyone who came I truly appreciated having you there!

Eat Chili's for childhood cancer!!

Many of you may know that I follow some little kids on some Caringbridge websites and I am touched by each one of their stories. Each one is unique and each one has touched my life in a special way. I honestly don't know any of them and they live all over the US, but through their care pages I feel like I know them so well. On Monday, September 29th Chili's is doing a thing where if you eat there all the proceeds go to St. Jude. So don't cook on Monday and have a night out at Chili's!! Hope to see you there!

Our Engagement Announcement!!

This is the announcement that we in the Benton paper on Sunday! If you don't know I grew up in Bryant and mom worked there for many years, so she wanted to put it in their paper. Kevin doesn't like this picture, but guess what he didn't help me choose of course I chose one where I looked good. He says he is going to have to learn that when women pick out pictures they only check for how they look in a picture. HAHA! He is learning quickly. Also, this Saturday is my big church shower at Immanuel. I am kinda nervous, but I am sure it will all be fine. This wedding stuff is so much fun!

The Home Depot

This past weekend we had our couples tool shower! It was so much fun. Kevin is obsessed with his tool collection, so after getting a few gift cards we woke up Sunday and headed straight for the Home, depot that is! It was kinda like a women going into her favorite department store looking for that special pair of shoes. For Kevin he walked down every isle looking for exactly what he wanted to buy. The night before he had his choices narrowed down to 3. In the long run he didn't get any of those 3 things. I am very excited that he finally got to have his tool shower! Now he can quit asking me when he can buy tools.

Big Brother 10

Jerry

Memphis



Dan

This is the last week of Big Brother and as many of you know I am obsessed with BB!! Ok, so these are the last three people left in the game. Jerry, the old man, Memphis, the "mixologist", and Dan, the catholic school teacher. Now, throughout the season I have been a huge Renny and Keesha fan, but at some points in the season I loved Dan. I was sad to see Keesha go, I felt like Memphis just used her, but that is the point of the game so oh well. I think I am going to for Dan at this point in the game!!!
So speaking of the game this is one show I enjoy, but I know that I would never be able to go on. You really have to have a tough backbone and not get upset when you know other people are talking behind your back. Well, if you know me that is a deal breaker for me...I would have my feelings hurt the first day, and would probably cry constantly because someone wouldn't want to talk to me....boo who. Anyways, I do have some friends who I think would be fantastic for this show. If you are reading this you know who you are!!! I really need one of you to apply so that I can know someone on the show and live vicariously through you. So please do me a favor and apply for the show what do you have to lose. Oh, and I have big brother after dark, so you could give me some shout outs!! This sounds like a great plan.

I know people say myspace and facebook are addicting, but clearly they have never gone to scrapblog.com. Thank you Effie for showing me a fabulous new hobby! I will put some examples of what I am talking about!!

Wedding Season!!!



Congratulations Dayton and Natalie!!! This weekend one of our best friends got married. I love going to weddings especially when the groom cries. I know for a fact Dayton got chocked up a time or two. He said "Natalie just looked so pretty coming down the isle". This wedding was also touching becasue when Dayton was younger his mother passed away of cancer!! Saturday, in her honor they had a chair with her picture and some flowers seated next to Dayton's dad. The whole family was gathered around and were so proud of him, but in my heart I know that the biggest smile that day was in heaven. I never met his mom but from what I hear Dayton was pretty special in her eyes. Hope you guys have a fun and safe honeymoon!!
