Water Fun, Baseball, & Rings

It has been a busy past week. Here are some picture highlights:

- Ian came over to help Uncle Matt wash his car & truck (he was a great help! well, with water the rocks, the bushes, uncle matt and aunt jenni!) & I took a picture of my future house!! =)

- We went to a railcats game with a church group on Friday..... here is Brett & Matt being tough guys and Melissa and I enjoying ourselves on the ride there!

- We got to witness the engagement of Nathan and Renee (from very far away!!! and you don't know how hard it was for me not to run up there and start taking a million pictures!!! but i held back - ok, well, matt held me back.... j/k!! but i really wish i had my camera & my zoom lens that exact moment... oh well. congrats to the two of them!!!)

So, it's official! We have sent out our invitations and people are actually going to come to our wedding!!! Haha! We sent 'em out about a week ago and I'm amazed at how many have responded back already! We truly are loved and we are very fortunate to have that! We can't wait for all of you to share in our special day!!

Sunday Writer's Cramp/Butt Cramp/ Hand Cramp

After a couple of days & nights of

butt aches & finger cramps...

All the invites are addressed, ribbons have been tied on the announcement, the direction sheets have been glued, all the invites are stuffed and ready to be licked, stamped and stuck with a seal. I'm excited to send 'em out! But we have to wait a week or so..... but good thing we did start those when we did b/c we realized we need to send 'em out a week and a half earlier than we were planning. Hahaha! But it seems to be going A LOT faster and smoother than I ever thought it would.... =)! I guess I've actually ENJOYED addressing all 213 envelopes!! Maybe I could even offer my services to anyone who wouldn't want to do their own themselves... haha... well, maybe not!

This weekend Matt was busy with NASCAR.... so i had time to .....

- Cleaning House -

I have been starting to pack a lot of my stuff to move over to matt's. But I did some more this weekend...... in between editting and converting some of my wedding photos, I have been going through all my "crap" and deciding what I really want to/need to keep and throwing away things that I have had for a long time that I never use. It is definitely hitting me that I'm moving out. Although I am super excited... I did realize I am going to miss BUD (and my parents too of course), but hearing Bud's laugh while he's watching "according to jim," "my wife & kids" or anything else on channel 9 from 4:30-6pm.... it cracks me up hearing him crack up at these shows!!

that's all for now....
