No News!

Sooo I was told today that if I have a blog I have to update it. I understand this but I have been kinda busy and the only new pictures I have are of us out on the weekend and I am sure everyone would love to see them, hahaha. I promise an update very soon after we get back from our honeymoon. We are going to Mexico for a whole week when I am on spring break from school. So until then I have no new news!!! I will make sure and tell you about everything we do when we are there and take a lot of picture!!

Before the wedding

 This is one of the best bridemaids pictures since they were inside and happy!
 Ready to get on the bus Katie (our photographer) told Matt this was his job!
 Before we took any pictures!


I know that we didn't pick the best day to get married (well I thought it was perfect) but yes it was freezing cold. We rented a bus to take pictures and I put on a good front but still I was cold. We wanted outside pictures and our photographer promised we could. We might have had bridesmaids running inside between pictures but we got them done and was able to have a few beverages while we we taking pictures!! More to come when we get our pictures ordered from our photographers!

Getting Dressed!!!

 It hung there for over 24 hours and I couldn't wait to put it on!
 One of my first purchases after getting engaged. I ordered it from the best website ever Etsy.com







 I kept telling Brooke and Tay to make it tighter!!



     I needed a little help from Kaitlin.........

It seemed like forever waiting to get my wedding dress on! I did pick it out almost a year before the wedding but I couldn't wait to see what it was going to look like. Needless to say I loved it and couldn't imagine wearing anything else....

Getting Ready for the big day!

                                                      Me and Abby...
                                   The official hair dresser well Brooke too, but she is not pictured
                                      I was getting really antsy at this point!
                                             Drinks anyone....
                                                                         Cookies!!
                                                      Eating lunch with Kati
                                      Ashley sitting on a dresser putting makeup on...bad lighting
                                                  Emily getting beautiful..........


                                                                 Me and Kaitlin

                                              Almost done

Brooke's camera was passed to pretty much everyone during the day so I am not sure who took what pictures. We all had a blast together the only bad thing was I was ready at 10 am and then waited for everyone else the rest of the day!

Rehearsal

                                                     Me and Clayton

                                              My sexy bridesmaids.....never all together!
                                                 Me and daddy taking a walk down the isle

                                             The best maids of honor a girl could ask for....
                                                   love this pic..... thanks Brooke!
                                            My future husband!
These pictures were taken by Brooke at our rehearsal. It took a bit to get everyone together and moving so we all decided we needed cocktails. It went really smooth then we headed to Swinger's for some extra yummy food and drinks!

Baby Kinslee

Abby had her baby when we were in KC for the my bachelorette party so when we got home me and Tay went over to meet her and see Mommy!!!

My Bachelorette Party in KC


the group at the winery


                                                                          dancing fools!
                                                                     Cute group shot

                                                                  Cute Shots....

 I ended up riding a bull by the end of the night at the PBR bar
We decided to make the trip in September (while it was still kind of warm outside) to go to KC for my bachelorette party so we could party it up with all my KD ladies from Kansas. It was a blast and I was lucky enough to have a lot of my bridesmaids and friends from IL to come as well! We stayed at Chad and Keili Kruger's in Grain Valley on Friday night and on Saturday we went to a winery in and then to Power and Light District for the night!

How we spend our summers.....






 Matt and Willie at Kruger's pond...


This past summer was great. We were always on the move either going to truck pulls, going to the Ozarks, or relaxing at Kruger's pond. I only had to take one summer class this past summer so other than working I really wasn't too busy. I like having my weekends free and do things with my two favorite people, Matt and Willie, of course!!
