Thanksgiving!



This is our first family photo since we have been married. This will more than likely be my parents Christmas card photo. We take a photo in front of the fireplace every year. Mom couldn't wait to get Kevin in the picture. You have to know my mom to understand how over the top she is about Thanksgiving. Well, actually any holiday. Kevin is back to work and it has been harder this time. He has worked out of town the whole time we dated, but now that we are married it is different. He should be home on Friday though! We put up our Christmas tree on Thanksgiving and got out some decor! It is so much fun and our tree looks amazing. I will have to post some pics. Well, I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! The Macy's Parade was wonderful as always! Kevin now has a new family tradition. He thinks I am nuts when it comes to the parade!

Happy As Can Be!

Well, I don't have any wedding pictures to post just yet, but they will come soon. I can't say how wonderful the wedding was, but I am pretty sure it was perfect!! I had so much fun and was calm and collected during the whole thing. I did cry during my vows, but that's ok! My bridesmaids were so beautiful and helped do everything. I love all you girls and it was an honor to have each of you with me on my special day.

Kevin and I got back on Friday from our honeymoon to the Smokey Mountains! It was amazing I will have to post some pics! It snowed!!!! I loved walking in the snow. I felt like I was in a scene from the movies. Everything went by so fast and seemed to good to be true, but now we get to start our lives together! God has truly blessed us! More pics to come!

Just a few days!!

Just a few more days until the wedding! So this is the wedding week and I have been told it is so much fun, but you will have a breakdown at some point. Well, I had mine other day! Nothing major just a mild stress! Getting everything put away and getting my house ready for Kevin. I am so excited about getting all the wedding festivites started!! My bachelorette party was this past weekend. It was so much fun, but I was in bed at 11!! Emily and Lindsey had a great time!HAHA! Ask them about all the fun they had. I believe they tried to go swimming in the outdoor unheated pool!! Well, this is probably my last post being Miss McKnight!! Mrs. Strom will be back after the honeymoon! Have blessed day!

Election Day

Today is a big day for our country!!! We will have a new president at days end. I am always a little scared of change, but I know that everything is in God's hands. Voting is very important and I hope that everyone will get out and vote! Don't think that your vote doesn't matter because it is your only voice. I hope everyone has a wonderful day and may God's Will be done!
