Whitney and Brent Got Hitched!

This weekend Ryan and I headed over to Mountain Home to be apart of Whitney and Brent's wedding weekend! We planned to leave about 1 on Friday afternoon and well this is what it looked like.

We decided to brave the weather and headed out. It rained the entire 2 and half hours over there. But there was a great highlight of the drive! In Harrison there is a TCBY! My favorite! So Ryan and I stopped and I got my favorite Strawberry Kiwi sorbet with sprinkles! Amazing!



We got to the hotel in time for me to take my afternoon nap and then get ready and head over to the awesome house where they were to be wed! Here is Ryan and I waiting to get our instructions.
After we practiced we got to have a tour of the house. It was a four story house, with an elevator which is what Whit is standing next too.
Here is the entire wedding party standing on the front porch of the house. This is also the spot where the got married.

The next day the girls went over to the house about 1 to start getting ready and eat lunch. It was fun to just hang out and talk for a while and then get ready.

Whitney gave all the girls jackets with our initials on it. Mine said SGM....a little different to see...but I liked it!!!

Lucy went swimming

This morning Lucy and I went on a walk/jog down the Clabber Creek trail behind our house. We found a great little swimming hole. So this evening we took Ryan back down there to play again. Lucy loves the water so we played for about 30 minutes until she was tired. She had so much fun!
Throw my stick, please.
Sometimes we like to play tug-a-war.
She would jump off the rocks and splash. I was so wet by the end of it.
It was a little hard for her to sit in the water.
Ryan and I on the way back home.
One last throw please....
One pooped puppy!

Rainbows!

Tonight was a fun night. Tim and Leigh came over again for dinner. I made a fabulous meal, if I do say so myself. We had turkey tenderloin cooked with a tomato basil pesto on top that I made, we put that on top of linguine that was tossed in the tomato basil pesto, corn, salad, and for dessert we had brownies and ice cream. It was a fun evening. At the end of the meal we walked outside to find a beautiful full rainbow! I am not the best photographer, but here are some pictures of it. The sky was absolutly amazing.


If I were good with computers, I would have put the rainbows side by side to show how big it was. But I'm not!

Bridal Portraits

Here is are some of the bridal portraits taken back in April by the Hudson's.

Handy Man!

I married one handy man! He came home to take care of his sick wife, mowed the yard, built Lucy a new pad of her dog house, and regripped Stretch's golf clubs.

Here is Lucy hanging out next to her new home (we do have a real dog house, its just still at Ryan's old house). Lucy still isn't really sure about her new home but we will see tonight if she sleeps there or on the deck.

This is Ryan's friend Stretch. They spent the evening regripping golf clubs! I sat in the garage and just watched.

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Date Night and Friends

Last night Ryan took me to Bordino's to celebrate my new job! It was a fun evening just getting dressed up and relaxing with each other since I haven't seen Ryan much this week between work and a golf tourney that he is playing in this weekend.







After we finished dinner and wait for ever for Tim and Leigh to call us, they finally came over and we just set outside on the deck and talked. Tim and Leigh we love you all!



Also here are a few pictures of my new classroom!

Sarah and Ryan

Married: 1 Week 1 Day

Hello all,

A little guest appearance from the hubby! It's been a while since I have posted anything but I just wanted to let everyone who came to the wedding or had Sarah and I in mind on May 23, 2009: Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! The first week has flown by.

Also, I just wanted to tell Sarah that she is the best wife (which I already knew she would be) that anyone in the world could wish for. And not to sound cliche, I love you more and more every passing second. Ya'll, this is only the first full day back to reality and she let me play 18 holes of golf at FCC with the guys!!

Babe - I LOVE YOU!!!

Ryan

Welcome Home and New Hair!!!

We came home yesterday to find our laundry room had 100 GREEN balloons in it!! I laughed so hard! I knew Tim and Leigh were up to something when they kept asking what time we would be home! Though I loved it!!! Thanks you all for taking care of everything while we were gone! You all are great friends and we love you!!!

I had to pull them out of the laundry room to take the picture!

When we got back we dropped Lucy off at the house and went straight to get my hair cut off! I was super excited! Here are the pictures to show the story! I cut about 6 inches off. The lady who cut my hair was more nervous than I was. She was afraid I was going to cry and regret it, but I don't!!!
My hair before.



And after!
I absolutely love it! Can you tell?

Honeymoon Day 6 (last day)

Well I decided on the last night that I wanted to see the sunrise. So we got up at 5:15 to find out that the sun rises on the other side of the island and you can't see it! BOO! We walked around the resort and took a few last pictures. I was sad to leave but it was a wonderful week!

This is where we ate breakfast most mornings
Leaving our room for the last time.
Early morning walk on the beach




Our rings! We are married!!!!!

Honeymoon Day 5

Well Thursday was our last full day in St. Lucia. I decided not to wear sunscreen because I wanted to be really dark but instead I just got really burnt. Stupid idea I know! Well we just laid out all day and hung out in the pool. Laying in the pool on the raft was my favorite with Ryan just pushing me around the pool talking to me! I was just perfect! After laying in the sun all day we went back to take our afternoon nap and then headed to dinner. We ate at the Italian restaurant called Armando's.

Eating, this was my favorite meal!

After that we walked around revisiting all the places we spent time that week. Then we went back to pack our bags.
