Adding Another Year

Yes folks, I am 25 now. It has happened again. May 25th came and went adding another year to my life. The past year has brought some wonderful things and i am excited to see what this year has in store for me!

For my birthday i had wonderful gifts and wishes sent from wonderful friends and family! Macade got me a birthday balloon and Cory treated me to a little gift (the tool kit for my cricut cutter), chinese dinner at home, and one of my favorite desserts: Chocolate Cream Pie (the dessert i really love he does not know how to make and i was not going to make it for myself). All in All it was a great birthday!

And just because he is Adorable!

Wedding Day

Ashley and Kyle tied the knot for Time and all Eternity on May 1st. It was a wonderful day. I just love weddings. Seeing the couple so in love and twitterpaited, relights the spark that our children tend to dim!

Some of you know that i was putting the reception together. It was A LOT of work but so worth it to see the outcome. On Friday night we were up at the church until 3am setting up most of the decorations. I had to wait on my centerpieces because the flower place messed up my order and sent me the wrong flowers. After a lot of crying in the middle of the store and stressing, we got it worked out. But i could not get the flowers until Saturday morning! My goal was to transform the gym so it did not look so much like a gym. We added a faux ceiling to help make it more personal. We got to bed about 3:45 am and i pulled myself out of bed at 4:45 to get myself ready and do the bride's hair! Yes, i ran the rest of the day on 45 min of sleep. CRAZY!

I was called the wedding planner a couple times that night and i guess i was. I carried the night so it flowed smooth from the cake cutting to the dancing to the leaving, etc. It was a wonderful night. the most important thing is the Bride and Groom enjoyed themsleves. Here are some pics of the event!!!

Ashley and Kyle. A Beautiful Couple!

Daddy

Well, it came and went, even though i did not think it would. Some days were awful and some were not too bad. Each night comes and still do not get into bed without saying good-night to him. Still miss him terribly, of course, but getting by.

Daddy,

I love you so much and miss you. I hope your year in heaven has been better than my year here on earth without you. It is hard, but we just keep going as i know you want us to. I know i still talk to you all the time, but i warned you of that before you went. There is no hiding from your little talker here, not even death can make you escape my non-stop jabbering!!! The best part, I know you are listening when you can! Love you and counting down the days till i see you again! (hopefully it goes faster for you, because it seems way too long here!!!)
