Our last wedding of the summer and pictures from last post..

So, today we leave for our last wedding of the summer.

We did find out our neighbor's are engaged, so we might have one more this year. So I can't say it's our last one of the year yet, b/c I am not sure. :)

But we are flying up today for Matt's cousin's wedding in Farminghton Hills, MI.

The wedding is tomorrow and then we are staying until Tuesday to have time to visit with some of his other family. We are going to be staying with his aunt and uncle, who live on a lake in Fenton, MI, this is about an hour north of Ann Arbor and the Univeristy of Michigan.

I was talking to Matt about how different it will be this time, going up norht, because the other two times I have been, were both during Dec., during Christmas time, so it was freezing and snowing.

So this will be fun to be up there when it is warm and get to enjoy the lake, when it isn't froze.

I will post some a pic from our time in Michigan this past Christmas, and then some when we get back, just to see how different it is.

Here are is a pic from Dec. of us standing on the frozen lake.



So from my last post, I mentioned posting some pics of my family to honor them for MOther's Day and their b'day's last week.


So, here ya go...

Happy Belated Mother's Day and Birthdays

So, I meant to write this on Monday, the day after, but late Happy Mother's Day to my mom, and all of the mom's out there.
Mom's hold a special place in our hearts and I know mine does.
She is the greatest mom and does so much for our family, I could write about her all day.

Also, late Happy Birthday to my Dad- Wed.- 14th, and my Brother- yesterday-15th, he turned 21! I can't believe it.
Of course I meant to post those yesterday, but never got around to it.

Matt and I celebrated with them last weekend, since we coulnt' be there on their acutal b'day.
I will add some pics of my family on the next post.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Weddings and more

So, Matt and I have just entered a busy month for us.
This is our wedding month and we are no stranger to weddings of all shapes and sizes.
We are bound to have at least one wedding every summer.

Since Matt and I started dating in April 2004- we have been to 21, count it, 21 weddings together, that is an average of about 5 weddings per year!

Last summer we had one wedding each month, June, July and August, and all were out of town at least 5-6 hours away.


So needless to say, with those, moving into our first house and getting a puppy, we were very busy people last summer.

This was at my college roomate, Carrie's wedding. The three of us in green and Carrie and all roomed together senior year. What a blast!

This was at my best friend's wedding last August, I was Matron of Honor.



So each year I think the weddings will decrease b/c eventually everyone we know will be married. :), but they are still going strong. I am just waiting to for the babies to start soon. :)
but I do really love going to weddings b/c it always reminds me of our wedding, and you get to experience so many different types of ceremonies, food, etc., and support those you love.

So our weddings for this year are May 16th and 17th- in two different places, and one wedding May 23- in Michigan, so the next few weekends will be busy ones. but at least they are all together.

So for April and May, count it

4 Birthday's

3 Weddings

2 Mother's Day

1 Graduation

Whew, But hey, June looks pretty calm, for now.

I am that person

So, yesterday I had quite an experience as I headed to the Dr.'s office. I had never been to this Dr. before or been in the area at all. Therefore I wasn't quite sure where I was going.
I had gotten the directions from the receptionist, and it seemed pretty easy. Exit off at this exit, turn left and the office was less than 1/2 mile on the right. Simple enough. Well I failed to ask if it was medical type complex, or in an area with several suites or what. So I am riding along and I realize I have probably gone too far, so I turn off to the left into a neighborhood.

So, you know those times you have been riding along and see someone coming at you, the wrong direction on a one way or just on the wrong side of the rode. usually older people or people from another town, well that was me.

As I pull out and make a right onto this semi-busy two lane, I hear someone honk at me, still not realizing I was going the wrong way on a one way!, I kept going for at least a couple more seconds and when a car was coming directly at me and had to swerve into the other lane, I finally realize what was going on. I sort of yell out loud in the car, and turn left very quickly into a parking lot. So after it really sinks in what just happened, I first thank the Lord I didn't have a wreck and second bust out laughing at myself, for at least 5 min.

So, after I make the block and got back going in the correct direction and I finally found the Dr.

So, next time I see someone going the wrong way, I won't be so quick to laugh, b/c I know how they feel.
