Josh and I received our wedding pictures in the mail last Saturday! I think Josh was concerned; no more like appalled at how excited I was. I did a little dance on our porch, even. I hope our neighbors don't think I'm even weirder now.

It's strange (for lack of a better word since I used weird in the previous sentence) how fast being married has become "normal" for us. When Josh and I started talking about getting married someone told me that weddings are like baptisms in that it is an outward display of what is already in your heart. I like that. P.S. I'd tell you who the someone was..but I can't remember.

It was hard to pick just a few but here are some of my favorites from Amanda Daniels! Find out more about her at http://www.amandadaniels.com


Two of my favorite people. This is when we were talking through the door before the ceremony. I don't recall any of what was said really other than I know I said hi alot. Hahaha must have been the nerves. Keeley says Josh was confused and concerned that I wanted to talk to him.

If I was more creative I would make thought bubbles next to each person's head! Everyone's face cracks me up! Ryan's cracks me up because he doesn't look shocked at all...he's just smiling. And Kaitlyn got caught in action of being suprised.

Hahaha...my little Lacey and Aubrie are feelin' the beat here. Makes me wonder what the song was!

LOVE this one! It's pretty typical of us to not only look like this but to just be awkward in general. I'm seriously considering framing this one.

Don't let the photo fool you...I was not this calm haha...but I was eyeing that Chex Mix! :)

On a different note I was driving home from work one day this week kinda on the grumpy side because I had been dismissed a little early that day but had to do some things on my way out that took longer than anticipated making my early leave not so early. Anyway, that day when I was about 15 minutes from our house there was a really bad wreck . The police or ambulances hadn't arrived yet so I think it had happened in the last 10 minutes or so. Then it occured to me that it could have been me in that wreck if I had left earlier like I had planned to. My grumpiness turned to thankfulness that God had changed my plans for me. Sometimes God does things for us and we don't even realize it. How blessed we are to be his children!

Guess that's a wrap since I've just been summoned to a project at work!

FRIDAY!

Last night Josh and I ventured out to the Beacon Drive-In theater in Guthrie! If you head over to this website: http://www.beacondrive-in.com/, you can sign up for their e-mail newsletter. It'll give you their updated schedule as well as a coupon every once and a while! For instance, last night Josh and I saw Marmaduke for $2.50 each...now that's a cheap date folks! :) And in case you were wondering...no it was not animated..and yes, it was actually pretty funny!

However...we did get there a little after 8 and the movie didn't end up starting until closer to 9:30ish. Unless you want to park really close I'd recommend waiting till 9ish to get there. Next time we're bringing a picnic dinner.

All in all it was super fun! I hadn't been there in ages and we look forward to going again! Wednesday nights you pay by the carfull ($10, I believe), every other night is $5 for adults and $3 for kids. New movies come out on Friday's!

Not to change the subject BUT this was the HIGHLIGHT of my day! I got to work this morning and logged in to check my email and facebook because my facebook is equivalent if not greater than my e-mail. Anyways...one of my most favorite professors from last semester was selling her couch, oversized chair, and matching ottoman via facebook! I immediately about fell out of my chair I was so excited because they would go great in our den/tv room/man area. Let me show you a picture because they are so cute.

Isn't it darling? And let me assure you that it is so comfy as well! She had our entire class over for a cookout at the end of the semester and I tested it out then!

Oh and here is the ottoman....

Have a great weekend!!!!! We are celebrating Josh's sister Lauren's engagement this weekend as well as some possible swim time with my family!

frog.toad.and stuff.

Warning: This post contains a random hodgepodge of things found in my cellular device. Item #1: See the frog/toad? He's our friend. He hides out in our unplanted flowers (left) and the potted plant (right). One night I was watering the turquoise colored pot and the soil errupted. I thought it had gotten too dry and was just re-settling but out jumped this ol fella. He's been around ever since. Also take note of the 50% off sticker on the left? Yeah..we're in the business of bringing nearly dead plants back to life. Talk about green thumb. We're at 3 loses and 12 wins right now but 2 were good ol Lucy's fault. Her stay at our casa was perhaps too uneventful for her and she took the liberty of inhaling our poor cilantro plant as well as an okra plant. Maybe she'd like salsa?

Item #2: Pre-wedding bedroom. Yikes. Brad Henry would name this area a state of emergency in a heartbeat. See that bag of tootsie rolls..center point of photo? Just ate a leftover one. Yum. Although they taste similar to that green package next to it. Nice and minty. I'll never want to eat these types of candy again. Too many leftovers. Better than running out though, I'd say. Yum can't wait for Halloween candy. Can't wait for Gran Jan to get her big 'ol bag she always gets at Sam's! Yum.

Item # 3: This is Keeley! See that yellow thing? It's not a Wendy's cup but one of those little things you use at the drive-thru at the bank. We were returning it. It was a funny story. I'd tell ya but I should probably ask her if I can first. She's in Haiti currently or I would. I can't wait till she gets back and I get to hear all of her stories!!!!!!

Item #4: Josh trimming the hedges near our front porch for the first time. Sorry for the bluriness....I was indoors in the air-conditioning..but before you start laughing...I was probably, I mean most likely doing something productive...like mopping. :)

That's all for today, folks!
