First Craftsman

Noah got his first Craftsman from Grandpa! We laughed so hard I had to share the pictures with you!

The Wedding

The rehearsal dinner...

My cousin Jen got married this weekend and it was so beautiful! I am so happy for her and I think the world of her husband Mr. John Daly the fourth! And no he's not related to the real John Daly. In case you don't know these pictures are of my Mom, sisters Bekah and Sarah, and Bekah's boyfriend Ben.

Microfiber ROCKS!

I think we have another artist in the family! Needless to say Noah discovered a black pen, and this is what my couches looked like. I have to say I love my couches, all I took was a wet cloth and it came right out! I love microfiber!

Half Skunk!

Our son had a nice white stripe of paint along side of his head, so we are giving him a good soak to try and get it out! It was a success!

Our first home...

As some of you may know this has been a true labor of love for Ryan, and for me just labor! No not really, I use to think it was just labor and I don't know how many times I wanted to throw in the towel, but Ryan helped me keep the vision and through it we have built so many memories! This last week we have really worked hard to get the house ready to sell and we're almost there! Special thanks goes out to Nick, you are the man! And Alinea too, my windows have never looked so good!

Is it a sign?

Is it a sign that I'm getting old? Yes I know, 25 is still a baby, however I've been having moments that make me feel like it's coming faster than it should.

- When I turned 15 my Mom said, "just think in 15 more years you'll be thirty"
- When I turned 25 I thought, "just think in 25 more years you'll be 50"
- Keeping up with all the text lingo...I think I'm good with lol!
- What's up with pound, have you heard of that? That's the new word for knuckle wrap.
- Saying sick, for cool.
- Not knowing half of the new artist/bands out there, and not really caring too!
- My younger sisters telling me they have never seen Goonies, Pretty Woman or Dirty Dancing, come on, we are talking about some clasics here!

And the list can go on and on but what really hit me tonight was the top 100 names of 2005, can you believe my name was number 60! I couldn't believe it, next thing I know my name will be looked at as a Bertha, Florence, Ruth, Margaret, Rose or how about Velma! Oh well, the good news is that I'm ready for every day God has in store for me and that I'm so excited to see and experience all that is to come!

I'm sold...are you?
