Wedding bells and showers

Wedding bell assembly

Carrie's brother Grant and Gabby came too!

I bought Carrie the Cities and Knights extension for Settlers of Catan. This is Carrie giving Ryan the "No, for the 5th time, I will not trade you _______" look. Ryan made us lots of sweet deals despite his insisting we trade him something we didn't have...

Carrie's monopoly on #10 wood including the McDonald's metropolis

We got more and more crazy as we got more and more tired

Some Highland faculty ladies threw a shower for Ryan and Carrie on Sunday. Olivia and Gabby liked helping them unwrap all the gifts.


Don't they look so happy? I'm so excited that two of my favorite people in the world are getting married JUNE 1!!!!

Happy 21st birthday to Stephanie!

Stephanie likes yellow roses (should you ever need to know)

Making corn chowder and cornbread

Settlers of Catan extension, Corningware bake dishes, 3 tier cooling rack, and a service for 8 set of dishes back at MPA

Because we have no clue where the candles are...

Morning Walk

In need of some R&R, I went for a walk with Dorinda, one of my work cohorts, and Leewa, meaning parasite in some language, (probably not spelled right but this is my phonetic spelling) and which is short for Leewanig which also means something in a foreign language (probably Phillipino since Dorinda was an SM there for a year). Only Dorinda would come up with such a name...

The Traveling Petersen's come to Collegedale!

Erik and Tara made their home at my house for a few days. It was so nice to have them share my little house! I've missed them being out of the country for so long. The best thing about these weddings coming up is it means we'll all get to see each other again soon!

On Saturday night we girls went out to see 27 Dresses since the theme follows our currents trains of thought. It was great for us to be together! We celebrated Tara and Hollie's birthdays too with ice cream at Marble Slab. We were all so busy doing stuff this is the only picture I have of us all together! Unfortunately I had to work today...

This is my cousin Keri's little boy Josiah. Keri is my only cousin (out of the 17 on my mom's side) that is my age! She says Josiah needs a cousin playmate his age so we should get cookin'... Hmmm...
