Mr. & Mrs.

Well, it’s sure been a while again since the last time I posted anything on here. My Dad has requested more blogs. He HAS to know what's going on with his daughter constantly!

LOTS has happened since April 26th. The month of May was INSANE. First there was the Memorial Day celebration in Dundee. For those (all of you) who don't know what that is: it's the first Sunday in May every year where everyone who grew up in Dundee goes back for a church service where they have a guest speaker each year to tell about their life in the Big D. It's always fun to hear the different stories. It's also a time where everyone can visit the cemetery since so many people don't have any reason to find themselves out in Dundee anymore. After the service everyone goes to the community building where we eat tons of yummy homemade food! It's the best.. Except this year I chose to be on a strict diet and didn't get to partake in any of the yummy eating. I ate a plain salad with bland dressing.. Yum yum. This was only the beginning of the crazy month of May. Later came Chad's 26th birthday, Mother's Day, my Mom's birthday, graduation, and the most exciting day of my life.. Our wedding! Before I get to the wedding I have to talk about graduation. I FINALLY made it! All my family came in the day before. I got to spend lots of time with all of them before leaving on our honeymoon. My parents, especially my Dad was so proud that I finally finished school. It was a LONG time coming haha. It took quite a while, but I finally finished. The following week was absolute madness while trying to get everything together for the big day. My Grandmother helped me TONS. I don't know what I would have done without her. Chad worked until Wednesday and then his brothers planned a Bachelor’s fishing trip to Lake Texoma. I could have KILLED them to do this to me just days before the wedding! Men don't know how to plan things accordingly.

Before I knew it I was waking up in the hotel room on Saturday morning with my girls. It was THE day I had been waiting for not just since January 8th when Chad proposed, but my whole life! I am definitely one of those girls who has dreamt about her wedding since I was little and this day had finally arrived. I don't think it set in until I found myself in the parlor at the church waiting on him to come open the door so we could have our "first touch" I know it's weird, but we did not want to do a first look before the ceremony. So our photographer closed the door of the parlor and that was the first time I was alone all day. Every emotion I could think of hit and I could not hold back the tears. I could hear Chad just outside the door and Kelly trying to explain to him what he was supposed to be doing. He wasn't quite understanding haha. He opened the door and EVERYONE was watching as I reached my hand around to find his since he clearly didn't get the whole "first touch" thing. Everyone left and they gave us a moment to talk. Just minutes later I was in the bridal room with my girls. We sat watching everyone and it hit me all over again. I couldn't believe that God was blessing me with the most amazing man and that my dream was all coming true. Before I knew it the ceremony started and I couldn't stop the tears. I knew I was going to be emotional but I didn't think I was going to be a ball bag. I'm sure I looked like I was walking down to my death bed as I walked down the aisle, but I promise I was SO HAPPY! Everything happened soo fast and we were walking out together.. Married! The reception was so much fun, but didn't last long enough! I loved getting to see everyone and hearing the speeches from our Best Men and Maids of Honor :)

Married couple <3



We left and drove to Amarillo THAT night.. Crazy, I know. We had to drink 5 hour energy drinks to stay awake. We got to Amarillo about 2:30 and left the next morning at 8 so we didn't get to enjoy our nice hotel for very long. We took our time driving to Colorado stopping to take pictures every time we saw pronghorns.. Which was every 200 yards or so haha. We didn't have any reason to be in a hurry. We finally got to Crested Butte about 6pm. Our cabin was so fun and secluded. We LOVED it. We learned how to fly fish and drove up several mountains. It was beautiful!

Here are some pictures from the Honeymoon.

Our hotel in Amarillo.

Too bad we didn't get to stay for very long.

On our way to Colorado!

Here's a picture of one of the 272 Pronghorns we saw .. Yes, we counted them.

Our cabin!

We just loved it!















Fly fishing in the river. Too cold for me!

Caught my first fish. Excuse the ugliness.

Mr. Explorer.



Meet Kita.

She was so much fun!

BEAUTIFUL.


Everything was absolutely perfect.

Since we've return so much more has happened. We've finally gotten all settled in and all of my stuff moved in to the house. Married life is so much fun! We're loving every minute of it. On the other hand our lives could be changing drastically very soon. Praying for God's will. I will update on this once I know more. Please keep us in your prayers.

love love,
Jenny
