...should i be nervous??

alright, well there's only 4 days between now and our wedding day...4 days!! can you believe it. so many people have asked me if i'm nervous and at this point i don't know if i should be or not. i think things are slowly but surely coming together and thursday and friday are going to be busy days!!!

the weather has been absolutely beautiful around here lately-keep praying for no rain!! there's so much going on around here with work, the wedding, and a fall festifal to look forward too. i don't think that i have any time to be nervous.

so many people have done so much for me and andy in the past year-and for most, longer than that. i just want to say thank you for that. it's amazing to me that we're where we are!! some of you may have thought that i overlooked andy's birhtday, but really i didn't!! here are some pictures to keep you updated on things that we've been up. if you're coming on saturday we'll see you then and if not we covet all of your prayers!! thanks!!

there's been a bit of excitement leading up to this point but we've made it through nearly everything!!

well i just wanted to do a qick post so i quess this is the end!! we hope all is well-check back soon!!

Friday, September 12th

hi guys! well it's the end of another week and only six more until "the big day" i can't believe it!! this isn't going to be a great big, long and informative post but just an opportunity to post some fun pictures.

the first one is of the Coast Guard helicopter-now this was a sight-we were on our way to work and drove by a small airport in edgewater, you know the type where there's never any activity, and there it was! so of course we stopped so i could snap a few shots!!

there's an amazing story of survival that goes along with this helicopter: i'm pretty sure it was saturday, a father and his son were fishing off of the jettys and it was nearing the end of the day when the 12 year old fell into the ocean-not just any 12 year old but a sweet boy with autism without any hesitation his dad jumped in after him and the two of them were at sea for a total of 14 hours! the Coast Guard searched throughout the night and this story was brought to a beautiful ending on sunday morning-both father and son survived and seemed to be doing fine.

thank you!

well, with every passing day the wedding is getting closer and closer!!! (i really can't believe it) on friday, august 29th my best friend through a luau themed shower and quite a few people showed up or sent gifts. i had a really great time and got some pretty useful things!! here are some pics of the "party people". thanks to all for everything!! (**not everybody is picutred, but i appreciate everything!!)

tropical storm fay and other updates

hey guys!! well the rain has subsided for the time being and although we weren't in the most severe flooded areas we had our fair share. andy and i went to the beach a few times to see the rough surf and also watch the beach slowly be taken away again. i wasn't able to get some of the best pictures but i tried...

hi!

Hi guys! just a quick update to let you know that I found my cameras battery charger!! yay!! I'm so thankful that I found it.

Now, mind you after I looked high and low and never found it I remembered that I had a small printer that prints 4x6's and that Andy got me a nice little carrying case for it-now if I were thinking I would have put two and two together knowing that I use the printer with my camera and I need the charger for my camera-I'm sure by this point even you figured it out!!

Yep-the charger was in the carrying case!! It is now plugged in, in the office at the house, and I will not unplug it!!

Hmmm, I guess that's all. Pictures will come soon!! Have a great day!

p.s. Andy has active duty Coast Guard drills all week

welcome to august!

Well, I'd like to start this post by wishing Andy's brother-Chris-a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! He's so lucky that he gets to share his day with the Coast Guard! Happy Coast Guard day, too!! Today the time has flown by-I don't know why but all day, even now, it has seemed to be earlier then it is.

We had a good, but busy weekend. Our kitchen is coming along, we've done the "touch up" painting and have picked out light switch/plate covers. We even had our friend Alex install under the cabinet lights! I LOVE them-thanks Alex!!

Saturday Andy played golf with some guys from church-they played in a benefit for Halifax Urban Ministries which is a local food pantry that helps those in need. They offer food services and also help in other ways with rent and utilities bills. Their team ended the day 4 under par. We (some people from church) thought that we were going to be helping out at a workday-however, that didn't work out-we were given the wrong date. I was still watching my friends dog though so I was able to go take care of him, and do some other errands. Saturday night our really good friends, Alex and Somer and their kids-Austin, Adem, and Bayleigh-came over for dinner! They brought Wii and we had a good time!!

Sunday was Sunday and service was great.

I can't believe that it's already August!! There's so much to do in terms of planning a wedding, however, things are coming together and October will be here in no time.

***notice I don't have any pictures to share of the past weeks events-it's due to my lack of locating my cameras battery charger. I'm deeply saddened and wish it would resurface. I love taking pictures and don't enjoy having a camera with a dead battery.
