the sister got hitched.

so it's taken me awhile to post since we've been back. with work getting back on schedule, two classes this summer, and shane starting to work on the mountain again it's been a bit busy. BUT i did promise a recap, so here it is!

wednesday- the hubs and i went up to oklahoma to visit some friends. we hadn't seen them in over a year so it was nice to see them and their kids and catch up.

thursday- funny story: the hubs, my brother nick, and myself went for a ride on the jetski. we had a blast, it was a perfect day for it and then we lost the key. oops! as our punishment shane and i had to swim it all the way back to my grandparents house. i definitely got my work out for the day. every one thought it was a joke since a year ago, the last time the three of us took the jetski out, we lost nick's glasses. ha oops again!
later that afternoon my uncle flew in from north carolina and we all headed down to a bbq for family of both courtney and miles (my sister and new bro-in-law).

friday- abby, a good friend of mine and the photographer, flew in. then it was time for the rehearsal  and rehearsal dinner but not before we headed to the nail salon to get our nails lookin good!

saturday- THE DAY! and man was it crazy. woke up, went to the venue, decorated all morning, went to get lunch, got back to the venue, found out half of the order was missing, went back to get the other half, chowed down fast!, finished setting up, went and got hair and make up done, slipped into our dresses, and we were rushed out the door to start heading down the isle. BUT even through all of that chaos, it turned out beautifully! courtney looked amazing, miles didn't look to bad himself (he cleans up nicely). the weather thankfully was all blue sky. it was suppose to rain that entire day but thankfully mother nature changed her mind. the food and cake were yummy. and my sister was happy, what more could i ask for :)

mr. and mrs. young!

 mother, hubs, myself, brother, sister, bro-in-law, uncle, grandma, grandpa :)

 we started out with three...

 and now we have five!

congrats miles and court! i wish yall all of the best in life and can't wait to share many memories together now that we are both old married people ;)

back home and exhausted

texas was great! had a wonderful time with the family. a chaotic time with the wedding. BUT it went smoothly the day of and turned out great. although the hubs and i had a lovely time in texas (more stories about that later) we are glad to be home and back in our own bed. i must say that we are terribly exhausted though. might take a few days for re-energizing. time to get caught up on work, stuff around the house, and summer school work for me. whoo. which means...it might be a little while before i get some pictures up of our trip to the good ole south.

SO i wanted to at least put up this video that my dear uncle scott introduced me to after the bride, himself, and i went and had our nails done before the wedding. i couldn't help but laugh since we had JUST experienced this.

enjoy :)

a post full of randomness.

one. avengers. WOW! seriously amazing. no joke! loved every minute of it. the actors were awesome, the humor was excellent. go see it. now!

two. the song of the week has been this! i don't know if it's the beat or what...but it just gets me in a dancing mood every time it comes on...thanks pandora! the music video is yes, very corny and just awkward in my opinion, but the beat! ah, kills me.




and three. the hubs and i are TEXAS bound tomorrow morning! yay! my little sister is getting married. *sigh* seems like just yesterday we were in our room playing barbies and watching disney channel. those were the good times. wish me luck with all of the setting up and trying to keep sane through all of it. ha we are excited about the fun week we will have in the humid texas heat. a post about the activities will come up once we have returned.

the sister and i in our youngster years :)

and this weekend it will be her turn to be in a white dress.

tears might be shed. 

have a great week yall! 

its been awhile...

wow! i haven't been on here in FOREVER! well, I GOT MARRIED! :) it was a prefect day and everything went pretty smoothly. my girls were able to fly up and be there which meant the worl to me! as well as the kirkham crew! over all we had a fantastic turn out. here are some pictures that were taken after we came out of the temple.
