Our Wedding Party

Wedding Dress Preservation

I love my wedding dress. It is simple, elegant, me. My sister and I only went to two different bridal shops, and it was at the second one where we found my dress. After the wedding I knew I needed to get my dress cleaned AND preserved because I wanted to save it. You never know if a future daughter or niece will want to wear it or the veil. So off to the dry cleaners I went and about three weeks later I got the call that it was done. Here is my newly cleaned, newly preserved wedding dress.

I cannot get this photo turned, so you'll just have to tilt your head.

I'm very happy with how it turned out, especially knowing that it won't yellow or get ruined over time.

New Hair

Last year at this time I was growing out my hair, only getting a trim every few weeks in preparation for the wedding. Well, the wedding was over two months ago and my long hair just wasn't doing it for me anymore. Plus this past month has been rainy and humid, something that doesn't go well with naturally curly hair. So this past weekend I went and got a real haircut, with multiple inches cut off. I'm really happy with how it turned out and know my morning routine will be much easier.

Wedding Pictures: Getting Ready

Well, we finally got our professional wedding pictures back a few weeks ago and I LOVE them. I'm so happy with how they turned out. There is no way I'll be able to post all of them, so I'm going to split them up into different posts and only post my favorites.

To begin here are the pictures of us girls getting ready at the hotel. Enjoy!

10 Years...

Never forget.

HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY MABRY!

Happy Birthday to our most favorite 4 year old. We love you!

Irene

Well, it's Sunday and Irene has come and gone. Yesterday we had rain off and on all day as she made her way up the coast. It wasn't until later last night when the heavy winds came. And boy did they come. We have a rather large tree right outside our back door and the noise of the wind blowing through the tree all night was a little nerve wracking. We did lose power during the night but it was restored earlier this morning. Thank goodness the only cleanup we have are of all the leaves in the backyard that were blown off the tree.

Wedding Weekend

Sorry I haven't posted since last week. This week I have started a new job and have been busy trying to get our life together. Our house is still currently a wreck and I have a list a mile long of things I need to do. However, all this will have to be put on hold because this weekend we're headed to New Jersey for this little ladies wedding.

I'm so excited to be part of her wedding festivities and am looking forward to Saturday when her and Mike say I DO. I will be sure to have an update once we get back. Have a great weekend!

P.S. Her dance moves are one of a kind. As seen above at our wedding!

Hello Again...

Well folks I'm back and I'm married. I figured I'd post a picture of the new Mr & Mrs. It's been a busy eight months, but it's now time to post regularly to the old blog. So stay tuned...
