Project 365 #20

Project 365 #19

June 11th - Ethne had fun using my arm as a sticker pad!


June 12th - This was a fun surprise on the front door when I came home! They were all for me! And I guess Mike too...


June 13th - Jon and Ethne having a good time at our rehearsal dinner!


June 14th - My brother Michael was very sneaky and got a picture of the wedding ceremony from where he was sitting.


June 15th - First day of the cruise! This was during the life boat drill.


June 16th - This is the lovely sunrise that woke us up every morning on the cruise.


June 17th - Just a picture showing a small portion of our very large ship.


June 18th - Mike and I went on a shore excursion in a submarine and one of the scuba divers on the ship brought back up a puffer fish to show us!


June 19th - Several nights during dinner our waiters would put on a show for us. This night I was chosen to dance with one of them. It was quite silly and fun!


June 20th - So one of the shows we went to on the ship was a comedian who did a ventriloquist act. Embarrassingly enough, I got pulled on stage during the show to be one of his dummies! It was totally crazy, but apparently quite funny. The rest of the week on the ship everyone would come up to me saying, "Hey, you're that girl!" haha! But anyway, they gave me a bottle of champagne for being such a lovely participant.


June 21st - Playing putt-putt with an ocean view is pretty nice! This was on the very top deck of the ship.


June 22nd - The best part of coming home after the cruise...opening all of our presents and having these two girls there to help!

June 9th - We had the famous Deep Fried Taco Night (yes, you read that right) at my grandparents house for my cousin Justin who is soon leaving for Okinawa, Japan with the Marines.


June 10th - A very happy day...I got shot #6 (the last one!!) of my Lupron. I am now done with it all!

May 31st - Even the cat has been helping out with wedding stuff!


June 1st - Okay, yes, I watch "The Bachelorette." (My mom does too, don't let her deny it!!) Anyway, it's always fun to see if there's someone from your hometown on the show. There is this time, but unfortunately he is quite strange. (They always choose the crazies to represent Oklahoma!)


June 2nd - An afternoon at David's Bridal with the nieces resulted in Ethne putting my mom and I up on these pedestals and singing "Jesus Loves Me" (over and over again) at the top of our lungs for the whole store to hear!


June 3rd - Lots of packing for the big move to Edmond!


June 4th - More mattress shopping, with Mike along this time!


June 5th - Mike and I's new living room in Edmond! It needs some more work, but it's a lovely start!

Project 365 #16

May 16th - I tried waxing at home for the first time ever. Honestly, it wasn't that painful. But honestly again, it didn't work that well. If I wanted to do it again I'd definitely pay a professional.


May 17th - My mom and I got to join Ashlee, Ethne, and Abijah for the Ladies Tea at Collinsville church.


May 18th - This is the little widget I have that greets me on my computer every morning. It's very neat and quite handy, but being a Tiger's fan, it seems to get harder and harder to look at each day.


May 19th - My own little drink mix I made at home. Very yummy!


May 20th - For me, there aren't too many meals better than chicken and stuffing.


May 21st - Just working on some more wedding stuff for the reception. But I know you're excited to come to my wedding now!!


May 22nd - Target always gets me to buy stuff out of their Dollar Bin. They just have the best and cutest stuff!!

May 14th - And the process of 'Thank You' notes begins!


May 15th - I've never really had long, dainty nails, but I decided to have them done for my bridal portraits and keep them until the wedding day. Obviously, I am not very gentle with them!
