Iowa Trip May 2013








In the beginning of May I had the opportunity to go back to Iowa for my Dad's wedding. I'm so grateful I was able to be out there. I got to know my step mom Robin and totally love her. We had a ton of fun. These are a few pictures of the trip besides the ones I have of the wedding.

Me and My Dad

I love pets! I totally fell in love with Robins cat and dog. Mimi (cat) will lay by the fireplace and play dead. Its too funny. Can you believe we had the fireplace going in May? Yeah... I flew in a snowstorm in Chicago and my plane was delayed. It sucked. Robin's friend patty has two grate danes that I just fell in love with. Had to have pics with them too.

Due to the storm wedding was moved inside. The ceremony was held in John and Patty's house and the reception was in the garage. We had a lot of work to do to not make it look like the garage.

8 Years

April 15, 2013= 8 years of happiness

This past April, Paul and I celebrated 8 years of marriage. I am so lucky to have Paul as my husband and best friend for Eternity. We have definitely had our ups and downs but I wouldn't choose any other person to have at my side than Paul. I'm so grateful to have him in my life.  This year we went to Ruby River for our anniversary dinner. Later in the week we went to one of our favorite places to get away, Anniversary Inn in Logan. We went and stayed in Richs Drive In. We had our tradition dinner at the BlueBird and had a great weekend just being together with out any interruptions. 
I loved the room so much that I had to take pictures.



Richs Drive In is obviously a movie themed room. Our bed was in the bed of the truck. The room provided a nice projector screen, movies, drinks, popcorn, and the ususal cheesecake and sparkling cider.  It was fun to stay at.  There was a little kitchenette. The bathroom had an amazing tub and was the black and white movie theme and where the toilet was it had a poster of the top 100 quotes from movies.  I would totally recommend it. I had the best anniversary with the most amazing person ever!

February and March

Special Delivery
Binkie
I really don't feel like we had too much going on in February and March. One of my best friends had a baby in March and our office did a small shower type thing for her. I also attended her baby shower. In all honesty though, this year is flying by. For Pau'ls birthday in March we went to Hines Mansion. It was a nice weekend get away. 






 My Friend Shari had a baby in March. For her baby shower
her father in law made the balloons. These are just a few 
that I thought were amazing. I love the stork with the baby boy. He also made some feet, binkies, and I can't remember what else but he has an amazing talent.




One of my good friends had a baby in March. These are a couple of pics we took at work when we gave her our gifts. This group are some of my favorite people in the world. I feel blessed to be able to work with such amazing people.




Shari and her gifts.


Something sweet for Valentines. The guys from our office bought some flowers for us. I have to brag... I work with some pretty great people.


My baby brother Hunter was in his schools musical. OKLAHOMA. He played ado annies (hope I get name right) dad. He did an amazing job. I'm so proud of him.
