isaiah and sarah's wedding

this past weekend travis and i attended the wedding of our good friends isaiah and sarah. this was a special one, as we both know them and travis was actually in the wedding!

here he is right before his ushering duties...maybe a little nervous?!

sorry this pic is so blurry. they were hustling down the aisle!

travis got the honor of walking sarah's grandmother down to her seat.

i love watching the groom during the beginning of any wedding ceremony. they either look scared to death or have a big happy grin. isaiah had the latter! :)

mr. and mrs. terry!

trav of course got in some great dance moves with the bride at the reception.

the wedding and reception both were beautiful, as was the couple. we love sarah and isaiah and can't wait to watch them in their new life as husband and wife!

catching up

did you miss me?

i mean, you probably didn't even know i was gone for almost a week. unless you're my mother or grandma, then you probably did notice!

well, the move went well and we're all settling in nicely. dallas loves the new place because we have two sets of stairs and man oh man, does that dog love him some stairs. it's weird, he's weird.

i'll post pics of the new place soon. we're pretty much finished except for a few finishing details. but i know me and me doesn't want to show the goods until they're as perfect as possible!

so, instead of house pics lets catch up on the last week...

1. moving sucks. having a new place to live is awesome. unpacking sucks. buying new stuff is awesome. spending a whole bunch of money sucks. getting housewarming gifts is awesome. losing your bff as a roommate sucks. getting a new one is awesome ;). a broken washer sucks. having a garage is awesome.

2. i have an awesome brother. he literally hung up 6 curtain rods, a shelf (very heavy shelf) and carried more crap up two flights of stairs just because i needed help and he loves his sisterly.

3. barclay moved to bowling green. tear. i'll miss her so much!

4. the royal wedding made me an emotional wreck. seriously? why do weddings do that to me? i mean, i know i'm a princess and all (even if it's only in my head) but i felt legitimately jealous of princess catherine. then of course i snapped out of it because when i get married i don't want thousands of people there and millions watching on tv. and while it was gorgeous and over the top, i didn't think it was that personal and intimate setting i'd love to have at my own wedding. with that being said, if prince william (or even harry for that matter) had asked me to marry him, i would have, without a second thought, said yes. sorry trav.

5. travis graduated saturday. he finally has his MBA and i couldn't be any prouder! he worked so hard and now hows the proof. now he's studying for the nursing home admin test and hopefully after that no more studying or test taking for that boy. ever. again.

6. happy 4th birthday olivia!

7. happy 10th birthday madison!

(obviously she's not ten in this pic but i just love this one so much!)

8. happy may...i'm hoping for a dryer month full of fun and sunshine!

thanksgiving

i know it's a little early to be thinking about thanksgiving. (seeing as how it is still 94 days away)

BUT...

i found out the best news today.

mom and myra are driving up that week and will be here for thanksgiving in louisville and then mom is spending the rest of the week with me in lexington!!! yay, on top of amy's wedding that saturday this is going to be the best thanksgiving!

i'm such a happy girl right now!

get ready for the gangsta life mom!

hello again!

sorry i've been m.i.a lately.

as it turns out july has been a crazy month thus far and is only expected to get busier.

so here's what i'm currently thinking about.

fav things right about now:

she & him has been on repeat in the car, on the ipod and pretty much any place else i can listen. love them!

i'm pretty much going to buy everything from here from now on.

love that she's in jail. don't really know why but it makes me happy that she's doing her time.

i might be obsessed with the palin clan. i can't help but be intrigued with bristol and levi getting engaged and sarah not being ok with it. so taboo now a days to marry your baby's daddy!

have you seen covert affairs on usa yet? it's my new fav show for summer. love it and the cia {a little!}.

other things i'm currently loving:

buying a sewing machine this weekend.

i get to see my momma in less than two weeks.

louisville bats baseball game.

visiting with grandpa doug and glenda.

august is coming! which means mom's birthday, killian's birthday, lake weekend with trav, highway 127 yard sale, olivia starts preschool, and sarah's bachelorette party. just to name a few things!

things i'm currently hating:

the rain, rain, rain.

immaturity.

not getting more than five hours of sleep every night.

my love of mexican food {it's really not helping with the ww}.

things that don't work or break on you.

poopy diapers.

i'll leave you on a positive note...

sisterly love is the best!

weekend recap

went to louisville thursday night for the rehearsal dinner.

got to stay with grandpa and grandma peavler, it was good to catch up and see them.

friday we met to get our nails done {yay, yay, yay!} and of course we had mimosas!

we had a great lunch, just bridesmaids, at mccalisters and then met back up at the church.

then my best friend in the whole world got married friday! {is it ok that i feel like a part of me died?!}

it was such a great wedding. i remember to stand up straight and i didn't pass out from my maid of honor toast. all in all a good time had by many.

saturday i hung out with myra and shelby at grandmommy's. i think we decided that it's been about a year and a half since i've seen them. that's a crime, if you ask me! shelby is getting so big {and cool} and i don't want to miss that. plus i think maybe myra is my second mother seeing as how we basically love the same things!

trav was still with my saturday so he got to spend time with them too and i think that was really the first time they've spent more than five minutes together. i think they like him. good thing. it's not like we haven't been dating for more than 5 years or anything!

we then made a stop out at grandpa doug and glenda's for a delicious cookout. i really love hamburgers and hotdogs in the summer! we sat and chatted for a long time and by about ten we realized we needed to get home.

sunday was dallas' birthday so we spent some time at petsmart and the dog park. he loves that place and there were a lot of dogs there. we are also trying to teach him how to play frisbee and i think he's starting to get the hang of it. he was pretty worn out after all the activity, on top of that he went to the kennel for the first time while i was in louisville so he was really tired.

it was back to work yesterday and i thought it would be hard seeing as how i've only worked three days in the past nine but i found out i'm getting a pretty substantial raise starting next week! :) so not a bad week so far.

well it's time for dinner and a cocktail to celebrate!

{sorry, no pics of the weekend since i forgot my camera battery but i'll get jennifer's when she gets back from her honeymoon!}
