Thank you so much for listening to my silly ramblings! I apologize for being such a terrible Host!<br /><br /><div>I am such a slacker. Shame, shame, shame on me! I had every intention of keeping this blog going on and on way past the wedding. From life as a newlywed, to our first pet (which came sooner than we thought and was not the species we had planned!), to the progress of our First House, to our first holiday seasons as a Family, to the arrival and raising of "little ones" (whenever that may be!), but.....</div><div></div><br /><div>....I have failed miserably, and here's why! I had no idea how much my life would change after the blissful Wedding Day. For those of you who know me, you know I am a perfectionist, a neat freak, and the oh so dreaded, OCD! I just can't help it. When I'm not enjoying the wonderful company of my sweet husband, our friends, and lovely family, I am totally obsessed with our house and the upkeep of it! Laundry, cooking, dishes, decorating, etc., etc., I thrive on being the ultimate House Wife. Although, technically I am not a "House Wife" because I do have a fulltime job :) </div><div></div><br /><div>Either way, I meant to show lots of pictres of our journey as newlyweds and the progress of our First House, and I didn't "get around to it." Which reminds me of a key chain my grandpa and granny brought back for me as a souvenier from one of their many trips. It was a round piece of polished wood that was called "A Round Tuit". Below that title it said something to the effect of, "Now you have 'a round tuit', so do it!" I thought it was clever! But then again, were my grandparents just trying to tell me something? Probably that I was a procrastinator, as I seem to still be today! Although I would never claim such a title until I realized the lack of attention I was giving to this special blog and all of its readers!</div><div></div><br /><div>So, officially, I am back....in the only way I know how to be! It may not be every day or every week. I just can't make that kind of commitment! Our life and plans change every minute and are never quite what we "had in mind," although everything is most definitley God's Best! </div><br /><div></div><div>Just so you know, we love you all! I miss your sweet comments and look forward to hearing from you soon! I'll do my best to keep in touch! I'll leave you with a picture of our sweet "little one"! He has become very curious of "people food" these days. We think its hilarious!</div><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398857028494578962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaDkov5gIEcrToOAdECZuJEMzOoNoj5N-9zAWB8uyGOkrXIGHaGP9ohxXjNwCc95IiqU3KjYW58SUbJEqVmBI9i69XNJ8cyCEx3RNcBtS5s2HF1Yc21AmGhhFfxlW7pUbgtxrNi0cX1vI/s400/PA290289.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398857033130310994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLYXFb-iBWEV10B2O74Ells_hScTfSpuxncrDheteZC8v9FyHhv9xnizdt0_tV5qbhVs7YRNIlRZroS3dB_feuMFnISZ4z7V0V2bg8pbLsgWgxLoeBjHcUGnFg_bKTbTHi9Ep214PFcGs/s400/PA290290.JPG" border="0" /> <div>P.S.

Sarah is pregnant with a baby girl who they have recently named Weslee Faith. At Sarah's 20 wk. ultrasond, they not only discovered that their sweet baby was a girl, but that she has a rare disorder in which her skull has not formed around her brain. They had an appointment today with a specialist to learn about their options.<br /><br /><a href="http://averymizell.blogspot.com/">Please go here and visit this sweet families blog</a>. They need all of our prayers desperately as this is a very difficult time for them. Aaron and I are praying constantly for God's blessings, comfort, and understanding to be given to this special couple and their families for the future plans God has for their sweet daughter, Weslee.<br /><br />"For this God is our God for ever and ever; He will be our guide even to the end."

We are still waiting on our professional pictures and portrait album, so I'm going to move on to the honeymoon!<br /><br />We made our honeymoon getaway to Cancun, Mexico! It was so amazing and we were more than happy with our decision! The weather was amazing! It only sprinkled for about 5 minutes one afternoon, but the sun never went away! Fantastic!<br /><br />After the reception, we drove to Little Rock to stay at the Capitol Hotel. Our flight for Houston, TX left the next morning around 9 a.m. We had a short layover in Houston and arrived in Cancun around 3 p.m.<br /><br />Our resort stay included lots of fun excursions, like zip-lining through the rainforest, etc. that we could have enjoyed, but we enjoyed being lazy on beach and by the pool way too much! It was so nice to finally have no plans and no where to be!<br /><br /><div><div><div><div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383748549364808626" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiop-Gc2y43AdFkFwIzX1TFblkkD2w63cKnQUGcJbBA54Zyj3Q3akLhSffCTXuXF_QmkYM6t6uuQluMOXPWYD0YCwocm65s3baHYEZhh4ol-cV8uSCx_NnOfDHktPx3Zngrq2D6ZprD2BE/s400/052.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383748561837753762" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_IGmLlRd-NBRZSE0zU4KbMlxTg0vTUlDM8mvHIL7QrMO4RhEzJofZVlX-uwdOI7eeQtdItuPfRX5Jjj7nJ_4y7DuJL_cSmGP0dGQvd9feDFNqi6r6H6rytUMjdzWb598NO2y2KoAvcBk/s400/092.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383748586704306514" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx60vYItA9sSHP30jOuxYSB_l_Ya8bAQwr6AGmQXVTUPe-x5bDaSYhSDewKkmpl8CtvjUeHnqmbvaQ5TMBTJ_U4YaW69xF-x9DWQPLiZudpKIBLLqwPc6GuYnrlp7T026sEP5MJzvL2gA/s400/095.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383748588678760002" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivDxGgiq58i_jWWE4KnZUOdb5WpqVfmMTNk7irLDCPtCCKskwunXNZcBDgvTntT-79qcxAmCOM3UJ4Dk6IC-wqY27tbpACQe1ljW8DBobtJEN_sZGrcjVi1tcaRQ-K_ET05Q6_lbacMQk/s400/104.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383749979235161698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4V0T_PlJ0PagAeL7Mvlb4xOIq8PD2XTamfIGOeBfcdYRt-ySNDb-0JeHVdcn8VMdnsTkhWousgzGUns98Q4v3z7qWPdjpMuV_w-gHfI6pqo_Wg2vsHNT3SOesf62jD1EbNZ3YpOYqpm8/s400/160.JPG" /> This was the set-up for our "Honeymooners Private Dinner."

Every evening they began setup around 4:30 p.m. You could pick your cut of steak of seafood and they would cook it for you poolside.

If not, you will hate this post! I wanted to fit one more post in before our long weekend begins. We are going back to central Arkansas for Labor Day, the first Razorback game of the season, and to visit our family and friends! We are so excited for a long weekend to spend with our families! </div><br /><div></div><div>Here is the big question we are faced with: What do we do with Casper? Many of you may not know who Casper is, but I'll fill you in! Casper is the cat I have had since I was 10 years old (that makes him 14!!) </div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377414342106908338" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHVW2Pp6D89EdJ5lwbHb8TSDZh04bpFHuSomGXyHNEV5ohagDVi-bwzZAYYC6TghjkQ3V9imZDi_O57FvEiADrDIFcymWmt7HuAHeX38uwkkPljEsx-gFRmpjYOnZWBEthm9yjKlXZhHo/s400/120.JPG" /> <div></div><div>We brought Casper to NW Arkansas to live with us and he loves it! I still think he misses constantly having people around, but he's making it okay. So now back to the question: What do we do with him? He HAS to have people around as often as possible! When my alarm goes off in the morning, he starts meowing until I open the bedroom door so he can get in bed with Aaron. Then, when Aaron comes home for lunch, he follows Aaron around and meows at him until he sits down. He then immediately jumps into Aaron's lap until he goes back to work! When I get in from work, he does the same thing! Its ridiculous! He is the most affectionate cat known to man and we love him to death. We feel so bad leaving him up here all weekend with no interaction....hmmmm. I just don't know!</div><br /><div>Now, let's get back on track! Here are lots of "getting ready" pictures! Its just a big hodge podge of pictures, so enjoy! (Remember: All of the pictures I have shown you so far are NOT our professional pictures. Dale and Meredith took tons of amazing pictures and I can't wait to get them so I can show them to you!)<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px;

Aaron was sick last week and guess what...I got sick too. Pretty stinky, huh? Our first week in our new house, and we were both sick and tired (literally). We had lots of plans to work on the house during my week off and over the weekend, but that completely went out the window! We pretty much just spent all of our time resting in the house and watching movies. <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><br /><div></div><div>This week I started my new job! Of course its in surgery (which I LOVE!), but I am seriously missing my co-workers from my previous job! I miss you guys! The new job is going great, so far! My first two days were just orientation classes, but tomorrow I get to start in the O.R. and I am SUPER excited!</div><br /><div></div><div>Now, on to wedding stuff! Our rehearsal was so much fun and ran super smoothly. Amber did a great job of organizing it! My bff and bridesmaid, Michelle, made my rehearsal bouquet and it was hands down the best rehearsal bouquet I have EVER seen! (These are all pictures taken by Aaron's fabulous mom!)</div><div> </div><div>Amber did a great job of directing the entire wedding! Thank you Amber! And Mrs. Sharon's music was amazing!

Now mom's and grandmother's, I promise he is fine. Just a little cold. I've been giving him Dayquil and Ibuprofen every 4 hours. He's on the couch right now in long sleeves and long pants. He's covered up with a blanket. No fever! Plenty of Kleenex by his side.</div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366674449517447250" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQjJT3y3mSAEXMl89AAAj7P8Svu5Y4OPJPizZ3gBjhEMyTZ7oUgh9bBskEcZQ7vp8fXQti711xDmrsjVShLKMRT3IwQqcJu3YKfyZOS9hfNoHuOR11yKjaLb7FlbKfzALapFBswRBryAc/s400/223.JPG" /> Secondly, we had some severe weather earlier. It hailed for over 20 minutes at one point. Here are some pictures of the hail. (We layed some life jackets on the hood of my car...it didn't really help though. Aaron's boat was in the garage. Oops!)<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366668520682418658" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeOWoE_Si3WMH5q94lnCjC-6qby4k1xepXwNB_tObpMiaR2RAJYCUWx4ysszMWGIm2OV1reNB2aPul9H8HdbRqGLPIG3OKj0QxNbTTzzQ7JcJ9mziDKYblaG9R-j6-A5DwomV8Buzsf6M/s400/188.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366668528651496914" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfPAzxK8qMT-zl99xo7YFub9QriqGB6mH9tPeFdJjWYPsoDosMhifPtE7ixPV_o5UR3APlheIrBgg2L8fuowKzPNO6p-dg2YVjhasTogRFdpINxxlUk8z5mi0ZG2ZZTECpQJBFaHrVq8k/s400/193.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366668530749468882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcl8Ec0wyljXAo89y0nd_dGXaJRYUJCoCujQNrmGoa73UoGamLmUZHc4mb29uW4ODB7twtyEz0BxS1HqLi19iUMPksdI0tAvxdE4seIvRc1p0wjSlmoT9jIZ-9SVsgFg5Wck2o6eo_Qvs/s400/194.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366668539055331330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOJ_5ybx8es24ZpEkRws4WtpicyWKaaog9_yCbUbyEgukQBDlW6yuxc5GHUYhThWchVPUzBt1F9MFvF_E8C9UbNs40wHtssBGG0l1yVvise1tO4uRhWXXW9nkVeV9N1qd_R5ffRY7qfwY/s400/198.JPG" /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dykIxew0XGbw9yN2HSvpthAN8tZMda8xQQm2IJbnstMcEktI_rG8CDyLerqmNHLLeGGziIIz2uTNXrrJQE7fA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><div></div><div>Third, our backyard, apparently, also serves as a small pond/stream.

We both had such a blast! Aaron and his guys went to Memphis to eat at Rendezvous. Afterward, they went to Tunica to play some blackjack and poker. All of those guys LOVE playing cards, especially Aaron, so it was a perfect weekend for them! And because guys are guys....I have no pictures of the bachelor weekend! No surprise there! <div><div><div><div><br /><div></div><div>My girls and I stayed around the downtown Little Rock area and had a BLAST! We layed around the pool of our hotel on Saturday, then got all dolled up and headed to the River Market area. The bridesmaids had some "special" attire for me to wear around town as you will see in the pictures! We had a great time out and about, visiting with friends! Some of my sweet friends from work came out to celebrate with us and we had such a great time! When we got back to the hotel, we played a wedding game, opened gifts, and ate some delicious cake! Here are just a couple of the pictures from the weekend!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361446342462264834" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhscsonju1sa3bulRMYR7xnFYO_chpohhplxoTMdgieb25HqMH80ygMUPI6MeBo6APKVGgw-sLnjuYdeKPjfMBUww2weggx5vYWxsQkZN6AHxI4O4azjkkyPt7cbG_wgC4BxoYjCxja_h8/s400/001.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361446343701499714" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgULyfVrL4BlvQuhaenTRBO7qz-jV6s3u7EGL1wG7qHG9gO7t_FtXLcGVxWp0Mzu7HGJUmD5bjV78IaotI4iM43LSAgmxxhifP57bVQbnsj3dqFQvDbqRWJLE5m8ajW72bpJxyTxiIsMmI/s400/003.JPG" />P.S.

Everyone is soooo nice when you get your marriage license. I was just fine and holding up well, until the lady said, "Okay, you're all done. Congratulations!" It was like instant tears. It all of a sudden hit me, what we had just done! As we walked out, the two security guards yelled congratulations to us, too! Fantastic day!

It is all such a whirlwind, but worth it! In all of the hustle and bustle, I completely forgot to post about my bridal session! I couldn't believe this to be true intially, mainly because I have been thinking about the session every day since then!<br /><br />So here is the low-down on the session:<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;">FABULOUS!!!</span><br /><br />I had the best time! I traveled up to Fayetteville on Saturday, the 6th. It was pretty tricky trying to get all of the stuff that I would need for the shoot, up to Fayetteville! It was even harder trying to get it all into Aaron's house without him seeing it!<br /><br />When I got there, Aaron and I went to look at a house he found earlier in the week. We spent a while looking over the house making sure we both loved it, which we did (more on that later!!!), and then went to dinner.<br /><br />On Sunday, <a href="http://www.wildivysalon.com/">Amberlee from Wild Ivy</a> and my mom drove up to Fayetteville to help me get ready for the shoot! When they got to Aaron's house, we kicked him out! (We love you Aaron, but you have to wait until The Big Day to see me!) It was so sweet of both of them to drive all the way to Fayetteville! I couldn't be more appreciative! And thanks Aaron for keeping yourself busy that day!<br /><br />Amberlee did my hair and helped with my make-up, while mom helped me get dressed at the end. It was like a mini-rehearsal of the big day! We were able to take our time getting ready, which is always great! It was such an amazing feeling once I was completely ready, from head to toe. I could barely hold in all of the excitement!<br /><br />Finally, we were off to meet up with <a href="http://www.benfieldphotography.net/">Dale and Meredith</a>. It was so great to see them! (Aaron was a little jealous that I got to hang out with them, again!) The shoot was perfect! It was a little warm outside, but there was a slight breeze which helped, A LOT. Plus, it was partly cloudy, so Dale and Meredith had sun when they wanted it and shade when they didn't. I think that will make for a great variety of pictures!<br /><br />All in all, it was a perfect day! Amberlee and my mom were so helpful! I don't know what I would have done without them! They helped me carry my flowers, my dress, etc., as I moved around from spot to spot. Amberlee even brought her "Everything Bag" and sprayed my hair when the wind made it wild! Everything played out just as I hoped it would.<br /><br />I'm still anxiously waiting to see the pictures, as I'm sure you can imagine! Once I see them, I'll let you know what I think!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4733180487508363296.post-4224563588939710972009-06-15T17:20:00.006-05:002009-06-15T18:02:12.900-05:00Honey-Do Cook Out: Hosts and Hostesses!Last Saturday, we were honored with a cook out shower!

This post will finish off the teacher shower because I'm going to be pretty busy over the next week. I've fallen a little behind on 'Thank You' cards and other wedding tasks, plus, I'm choreographing 3 routines for the junior high! I am NEVER a procrastinator...it literally drives me insane if I do procrastinate...but, this wedding blogging is so much fun! But, still...its about time I get things taken care of!<br /><br />Let's start with china and crystal! I can't wait to have a china cabinet so I can display all of this gorgeous stuff!<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343244345186268418" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhalVa6d_remeZt4TVedHloqz02-J84jHp5o6KNGPQ9w7-aPNArRQdA7-sGo_GfINLpxM7CSPptRhZJ_psN5cHHXKqNUXn7ofWKGr8dpcqw8Rax4T8xLagex2A0Kod2TY6PeL_pNBbBzoQ/s400/004.JPG" /> <div><div></div><div>Thank You: Ms. Donna; Ms. Lisa and Melanie; Ms. Counts; Ms. Orrick; Mrs. White, Mrs. Hammer, Mrs. Beck, Mrs. Wiedmeire, Mrs. Qualls, Mrs. Stillwell; Mrs. Lovell and Mrs. Alsobrook; Ms. Brenda; Aaron's Memaw and Pa.

If you remember, my last session in Little Rock was cancelled due to crummy weather. This weekend's session is going to be in Fayetteville, which I'm pretty excited about because our photogs are from there and really know the area well! They are so good at choosing awesome locations that turn out so GLAMOROUS in the portraits!!</p><p>I am so super pumped about it! I haven't seen the photogs since January! Aaron and I had such a great time with them during the <a href="http://benfieldphotography.blogspot.com/2009/02/happy-valentines-day.html">Engagement Session</a>, so I know this one will be a blast too! I hope the portraits turn out fabulous! All of their bridal portraits are super "fashion-y" if that's even a word!!! I am soooo excited to get in to that dress I can't hardly stand it!!! </p><p>The girl who does my hair will be going up to Fayetteville, too, to do my hair and such! Yay! She is so sweet for coming along. </p><p>I will let you know how it all goes!</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1
