Sunny days are here

So excited the pool is open and summer is here. My favorite way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Start with church then a good lunch and then off to the pool. Today I got to be with some of my favorite people..Ash, Rach and this little man. Love this sweet boy.


He is putting his hand in my drink and taking my ice out and eating it... too funny!
He is loving the water slide that all the big kids are playing on. He had soo much fun!

Pretending like he is a big boy!!!

Jason and Mary Kate!!!!!

In one of my posts you saw that one of my very best friends got married. It is about time that i post about her wedding since they have now been married a month. It was such an honor to be her MOH. We had such a wonderful wedding weekend. It was such a beautiful wedding and of course Mary Kate was sooo beautiful.... as always. I am so thankful to have another friend join the married life with me!!!

Her wedding party in Nashville for the Bachelorette party. Scarlet somehow got cut out of the picture on the left. This is the only pictures i have with most of us in it.

A pictures of most of the girls at the rehearsal dinner. This is the only picture I took of the day before the wedding. Mary Kate had such a great day planned for us. It started with Brunch at Bordinos. Then off to pink papaya for all of us to get a mani and pedi. A little free time then off to the church for rehearsal and then to dinner.

The Sweet Man and Me at the rehearsal dinner. I can't believe I have a smile on my face. I have never been so nervous about speaking infront of people for the toast. I can talk most peoples ear off but something about standing in a room with everyone looking and listening to me made me sooo nervous. Not sure even what I said but I know that Mary Kate knows what i think of her and our friendship!

The Bride getting her hair done. The wedding day morning we all got together to get our hair done at Studio 8. Those girls did a wonderful job on everyones hair. Then we had a little lunch and off to the church to finish getting ready.

The beautiful bride and Me!

I just love this picture out by the picket fence. Although we are missing a few, And we don't all have our eyes open and i don't have my shoes on so i look a litte short! I STILL LOVE IT!

This picture is not the best with the back of the mans head but i just want ya'll to see the beautiful decorations. No pictures do it justice. Mary Kate and her mother did such an amazing job on the decorations for the reception. Also notice how nice Jason is feeding her the piece of cake. I was a little worried he was going to do something crazy!

They both are making funny faces but it is a picture with the toast and the cookie cake. Yes Jason wanted a cookie cake, so if you look close the cake is made of big cookies with icing in between each layer or should i say between each cookie. WONDERFUL...

Forever BESTIES!!!

The Sweet Newlyweds taking a break from the dance floor.

And then they were off to a wonderful Honeymoon in Hawaii! If i say so myself, Jason is one lucky guy to have such a wonderful, kind hearted, most generous wife. What a great best friend. I look forward for the years to come and wish nothing but love and happiness to the wonderful couple. MUCH LOVE!

An Entire DECADE......

The sweet hubbie and I have been together a entire decade today. Crazy to think, huh? No. Not married but started dating. It was 10 years ago today. I had just finished my freshman year of high school and he finished his junior year. We had gone to the same school and hung out a couples of times. Our baseball team went to playoffs or something out of town. He asked me if i wanted to go with him & some of his friends. I of course said yes. Now that i look back on it...I can't believe my parents let me go out of town with a boy they didn't even really know. I remember the Shumakes did drive us so maybe that is why they let me go. I was 14 and he was 18. (The sweet hubs hates when i say our age difference b/c he says it sounds so bad. Really I was 14 but turned 15 the next month.) We were in the car on the way back from the game, can't remember if we won or lost, but he asked if i would be his girlfriend. :) How sweet!

We have each grown as people and as a couple together. Crazy to think i have almost been with him half of my life. I know a little more since I am 24. But so crazy. I can't imagine my life without him. He is for sure my other half, my best friend, my sweet hubbie. He has taught me so much and takes such good care of me. Cooks me dinner every night. We still go on our weekly Sunday night dates to the movies. Man I just love that SWEET MAN! I don't have pictures of us when we started dating but here are a few from the last 10 years.
