Maid of Honor for the first and last time

There is so much to blog about from the month of June! (And unfortunately, my computer is having some serious technical difficulties so it may take me awhile.) But one must always start at the beginning, so here's what happened June 1: Carrie and Ryan's wedding! Here's a look at it from the maid of honor's prospective.

And then it was the big day...


Who knew so many people could fit in my bathroom?

Now do you think it needs a little more...???



How weddings can make you feel sometimes ;-)

I think I'm telling Ryan to loosen up. Apparently, they all think it's funny

Last shower and the weddings begin

Carrie got into Collegedale on Sunday evening. This week has been the "lets finish everything we don't have done for the wedding's week."

Here we are making the programs for Carrie and Ryan's wedding

On Thursday, my coworker's threw me a shower. Ryan came too!

Lots of my work friends

On Thursday night we all took a break from the wedding planning and went to a Lookouts game!

See?

You know we had to take at least one of these...

Ross really seems fond of this gift...

This is it!

On Tuesday when I went to work, the Clinical Education department had planned a surprise party for me! I've been working doing Diabetes Education for about 7 months now and they are my second Memorial family. Sue, my immediate boss, got this cake, but she thought it was so hideous she complained and got it for free! Apparently, they don't know how to make something for a wedding and a graduation together... we think those things on the top left are supposed to be bells but I won't mention what we nurses thought they looked like...

Later that evening, we had Ryan's cousin Zach over for pizza and cream sodas.

Then it was time to pack Ryan up and move him out of his last bachelor pad.

And now most of his stuff is in my house! Now all we have to do is get married and complete the transition from YOURS and MINE to OURS. Wow... so here we go...
