Britt's Bridal Shower {The Details}

I used this for the banners. This one said "Love is Sweet"

Super easy, I used chocolate chunks instead of drizzled chocolate since my chocolate was frozen :)

Delicious, I used strawberries instead of blueberries this time.

I bought these purses with a 50% coupon for the wedding at Michaels and never used them. I filled them with candy and gave them as favors.

Ball jars {from my grandma} + stripped straws +cute flags=love

I made up this game by googling celebrities who were engaged. No. 8 got married the day after I made this but I was not going to redo it :)

I love sentimental games. We also did this.

As always, Bentley was my "helper"

I got this cute invite from Martha. I was in the middle of doing this invite.

Before she says "I Do" {Britt's Bridal Shower}

One of my dear friends Brittany is getting married in two months! We showered her with gifts to let her know how special she is to us! There were 6 adults and 4 kids under 3 years old, my house was full of excitement :) Enjoy some pictures

"I Do" {James and Rachel's Wedding}

Wyoming will always hold a special place in my heart. Leading YL there for two years and seeing God use me to building relationships with girls, see their heart for their friends to know the Lord and making great friendships with the people on my team and praying for them for the Wyoming community is something I will always cherish. I was uber excited to go to James and Rachel's wedding for many reasons 1. They were getting married in the prettiest church in Wyoming 2. Spending time with people I do not get to see as much as I would like 3. I just love weddings. It was another fancy wedding and all the details of the wedding were gorgeous. Rachel's dress was stunning, the flowers were amazing, the food and reception was great, and I enjoyed laughing and catching up with friends. Kyle was in Chicago on a golf trip so I missed sharing it with him but he was having a great time.
Here are some pictures from the wedding

It looks like a castle, right?

Mini Vacation {Lake Waynoka}

Two weekends ago we ventured to Lake Waynoka to spend the weekend with Kyle's side of the family. We had this cute house packed with 9 adults {Connie & Tim {kyle's parents}, Kyle's Grandma, Carrie and Mike {Kyle's sister and brother-in-law}, Timmy {kyle's brother} and Sarah {Timmy's girlfriend}, me and Kyle} and baby Caleb. Connie's friend owns the house which made it a great place to relax and enjoy great company and the water. Enjoy some pictures from the weekend.




 Caleb did not enjoy being in the tube
Caleb would rather drive :)

The only fish we caught were "stick" fish :(

Our amazing dinner

Go Caleb, Go!

Some memories I want to remember:
*Enjoying time with Kyle's family {I really love hanging out with them}
*Getting to catch up with Sarah
*Playing scattergories {my fave} with lots of people. Connie using Sandbox as a movie title when she really meant Sandlot
*Watching Caleb walk around {mostly unassisted}
*Mike catching a great wave tubing
*Kyle's grandma having a great time and wanting to know where we are going next
*Watching Kyle drive the boat
*Kyle and Caleb in the tube. Caleb did not like it at all! Maybe next year :)
*Timmy not being able to sit Indian style on the floor or being able to sit on the floor at all. He was having the hardest time getting comfortable while we played games
*Not being able to leave Bentley at a dog boarding place. Kyle dropped him off and called me and asked if we could think of someone to watch him. Bentley does not know how good he has it! We think Bentley thought we were leaving him for good since we got him from a shelter. We are big softies and when Kyle told me Bentley had his head down and looked really sad when he left we knew we could not leave him.
*Being on the boat and enjoying the sun
