Three Years

"Across the years I will walk with you -
in deep green forests; on shores of sand:
and when our time on earth is through,
in heaven, too, you will have my hand" 
-Robert Sexton

Happy Anniversary Babe!

One Sweet Day: The Evening Comes to an End

With all the dancing and cake behind us, our last few hours were spent enjoying our guests!  My little cousin joined in on some dancing with the bridesmaids and I! We even formed a little conga line around the group!
 

We had bocce ball set up for guests!  The guys were having a blast seeing who could throw the farthest distance.

College roommates enjoyed and savored each others company.

The cowgirls set out for a horse ride along the country side.

Family friends shared lots of laughs!
 

A touching, heartfelt speech from my dear sweet cousin.

Guests signed our Polaroid guest book.

Our best man's parents relaxed and soaked up the country sun.
 

Bridesmaid Andrea's husband had fun taking pictures of our photographer!

My cousin, the little stud posed for the camera.

My family huddled together to take a huge group picture, already making plans for the next get together! 


At the end of the evening, we hugged and kissed everyone one last time and thus began our journey as husband and wife.

One Sweet Day: Dances

Just as the sun was beginning to set, the time came for us to have our first dance as husband and wife. He picked our song, Lost in this Moment by Big & Rich.


The setting was so perfect, and when we danced, it felt like one else existed but he and I.

We reflected on how beautifully the ceremony turned out, and how much love and support we felt from the people in our lives so special to us.



Once our song was over, it was time for the Father-Daughter dance. My dad also chose this song, Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle.


Dad and I also talked about how beautifully the day turned out, how much he loves Steele and that he was so happy for us.

One Sweet Day: Cupcakes and Treats

We were ready to have some tasty treats which included cupcakes from a local bakery, and rice krispie treats and lemon bars made by his cousin and family.

 

But first things first, it was time to take care of business. I was up to serve him and I knew I was going in for the kill! He was laughing, saying "oh I don't think so!" 
But I got him good :) Happy dance!

When it was his turn to give me the first bite, I held onto his arm for dear life, fighting off the same cupcake smashing in return!

But he was good and didn't get me too bad!


A quick kiss and then it was time to share the goodies!

One Sweet Day: Signed, Sealed, Delivered!

Once we finished eating it was time to make it official. We went inside the cabin and Eric was up first to sign our marriage certificate.

Up next was Steele, as I looked on.

I signed and filled out official information on the certificate.

My childhood friend, Andrea signed as our first witness.  She had married a couple years prior and I was honored to sign for their marriage!


Our best man, Austin (he and his wife are expecting their first baby this winter!) was our other witness.
We did it!
 

Our wedding bands and marriage certificate.

After a quick group hug Steele pinned me up and we were ready to go back out to join the party!

High-Five for Friday 6.15.12

This past week has been a crazy whirlwind of a week and I am ready to sit back and let out a big exhale and just happy that it's finally Friday!  Here are my top choices I'm high-fiving about today! 

Photobucket

It's my momma's birthday today! Fun tidbit: she was born in Mexico on a ranch and back then, one (typically the father) would horseback into the city and send word that there was a birth and fill out the paperwork. Well when my grandpa got to the city, he forgot the day my mom was actually born so he said the 22nd, a whole week later! So she has 2 birthdays - her real one and her legal one! We only celebrate her real one but have a good laugh about the legal one every year!

Last weekend we spent our time on the rainy side of the state to celebrate my work's 50th anniversary. Ok, so technically the anniversary date was celebrated a couple of years late but who's keeping track! I am so grateful to work for such an awesome company that celebrates important milestones with employees AND the families of employees! And let me tell you the owner's really know how to throw a party! They rented out a huge facility and sectioned it off into many little themed areas. There was one room with cirque-de-soleil performers and cartoonist, another area with dancing ladies on stilts, a casino room, a video game room, a white room with plush leather sofas, moving human appetizer and dessert tables, the list goes on. We were so honored to be a part of this incredible night in the company's history!

While we were there, we made a weekend full of fun events and hit up a Mariner's game (a no-hitter by the way, only the third in franchise history!), Pike's place market which included a visit to the first Starbucks and Piroshky Piroshky, randomly painted blue trees at West Lake center, visiting with close friends, and even a little shopping! I'm already dreaming of the next time we'll go back!

Julia and I signed up for a photography class. I'm super excited about this because ever since I bought my camera, I've taken it out and have no idea what I'm doing. I've tried reading tutorials, and sometimes I'll get lucky with a good picture but I really feel totally clueless in this area! It will be nice to have someone helping give tips and pointers along the way!

It's been so much fun finishing up our wedding recaps! With our 3 year anniversary coming up, I've been having a blast going back and looking at all the photos. Ah, what a beautiful day!

One Sweet Day: Reception

Our gracious friends, Gloria and Kevin, who let us have our wedding on their ranch had a local contact for two guys who were known for making killer pork roast. They had arrived early that morning and prepped for the fixings.

 

The pork had been roasting low and slow for several hours, and it was finally time to feast. With classic rock music playing in the background, our guests were invited to eat.  We had a buffet style reception and the party lined up to eat some good grub!  We served roasted pork, pasta salad, coleslaw, baked beans and fresh rolls.

Bride and Groom had the honor of breaking into the delicious spread!  And boy the bbq food did not disappoint!

Kevin doing some quality control!  He approved as well!


We found our seats and visited with loved ones. The weather couldn't have been more perfect - mid-70s with a slight breeze. The sun was shining and we laughed and shared stories, enjoying family, making new friendships and being reacquainted with old ones.
