Our Shedders


No matter how often we get our dogs groomed they continue to shed and shed. So we found out about this fabulous dog brush that takes out their under coat. Didn't think it would really work- but we gave it a try anyways. Here is what we accumulated after about 5 minutes!

The top picture is the finished pile - we could have continues brushing, but I was ready to die from a heat stroke. The bottom picture is all the hair we couldn't pick up off the rug. No worries - My DYSON got it all! :)

Nursery Furniture

Our furniture for our nursery was delivered this past week. It is so exciting to see it coming together. Out of all the baby decisions we have had to make so far, this one was Ted's. I was wandering through the store trying for the life of me to make a decision - ted walked up and said, "I picked it out". So we went with it! Now that it is in the room with the decor and curtains, I couldn't be happier. My mother in law is throwing my a huge baby shower on Sunday with about 60+ people. It will be so much fun to put away all that we get and start to "feel" ready for this baby!

Two Years Ago Today.....

I cannot believe that it has been TWO years since that beautiful (and HOTT) July day when I married the man of my dreams. I didn't realize how much you could love someone until I met Ted. These past two years have been the most amazing years of my life and it is all because he is in it. Thank you God for bringing him into my life like you did!

This song is one that came out just a few weeks after Ted and I met. It has stuck with me since then. I truly do feel like Ted "saved" me from a life that could have had a totally different outcome.

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!

I had all but given up on finding the one that I could fall into... The day before you
I was ready to settle for less than love and not much more
There was no such thing as a dream come true, Oh, but that was all the day before you
Now you're here and everything's changin, Suddenly life means so much

I can't wait to wake up tomorrow, And find out this promise is true

I will never have to go back to.... The day before you
In your eyes I see forever, Makes me wish that my life never knew....The day before you
But Heaven knows those years without you, were shaping my heart for the that day I found you
If you're the reason for all that I've been through, Then I'm thankful for the day before you

The Wedding!

I am SO SO SO tired but I wanted to get some pictures up for you all to see. It will not do it justice, but I will post some of the professional ones once we get them back. The day started at 10:00. All the girls met at the hair shop to get our hair done. Mine was a DISASTER and the sweet lady that did Carrie and Emily's hair ended up ripping mine out and starting over. The church had NO A/C but I made it through ok. Ted had a water bottle for me and would hand it to me during prayers. The Ceremony was BEAUTIFUL.... Mom, I SO wish you could have heard the brass band (same one from Sarah's) in that church. It literally gave me chills. The reception was to die for.... the same guy that did Sarah's flower did this one as well. His website is http://www.neilleeson.com/ . I think there are pics from Sarah's wedding, and he will put some up from the girls event today I am sure. I had a blast at the reception. I even surprised myself on the dance floor. I successfully made it through the electric slide, the cha cha, and several other songs. It wasnt until the 4th round of the limbo when I unintentionally did the splits and needed help up that I decided to quit. That was painful... and I am feeling it now. :)

It was such a fun day and it was so neat to see the girls and how happy they were! And they were absolutely STUNNING. Dan and Greg are LUCKY men.
Ok enough talking.... here are some pics.
