Where has summer gone?

Oh My! I was just looking at the calender and wondering where has the time gone? I can't believe I only have 2 weeks left before school starts. I feel like Andrew and I just got back from our honeymoon and summer had just started. 

Anyway... Since we got back, we have moved into our little house in Ridgeland. I have spent all summer trying to turn this house into a cozy home for the two of us. I have enjoyed having the summer off because it has given me the time to fix up our house and learn how to cook. Well, I am still learning, but I think I have done pretty good, considering how picky I am. We have spent very few weekends in Jackson due to wedding parties that we have attended for our friends. One of the first weekends we were here, we went to an engagement party for our friends, Jenny Claire and Justin, in Winona. It was a wonderful party and we enjoyed being with our friends.



We have also been up to my parent's house a couple of times because of family things. I have really enjoyed going up there because when school starts we won't have as much free time to do so. I love living in Ridgeland, but it is always great to be with family.

I always enjoy spending time with these 3! Lucy and Hayes
are coming to spend a few days with us next week and I can't wait!  

Sweet Lucy


This past weekend one of my best friends got married in Oxford. It was a great weekend. Lelia was a beautiful bride! It was a lovely ceremony and reception, but best of all I loved being around all my friends. 


I am not sure what is going on with Lauran's eyes in this picture.
When the weekend was over, I told Andrew that I didn't know when all my friends would be together again because we didn't have anymore planned weddings or parties to attend with everyone. I was really upset about this, however my friend, Frannie called me on Sunday morning and told me she was engaged! I guess we will all be together again soon for their festivities!  I was so excited that we were still in Oxford and got to see Frannie and Michael! 


So excited and can't wait for June 22,  2013!!

Tomorrow, Andrew and I are moving all my school stuff into my new classroom. I am excited to get started on this new school year, but scared at the same time. Hopefully, once I get my stuff moved, it will calm me down. I usually have my whole classroom ready by this time, so please pray for me!

Something I said I would never do!

Ok.. So I broke down and started a blog! I have always said that I would not get married and start a blog. Well here I am. This past weekend at a friend's wedding everyone was talking about their blog or that they wanted to start one. Well after seeing that my friend, Jordan Thomas had started one, I thought it might be a good idea. I do like the idea of using it as a scrapbook to recap important events in my life.


So I guess my first post will have to begin with talking about May 19th! Our wedding was everything we wanted and more. Andrew and I were so happy and blessed to share this day with so many of our wonderful family and friends. We had the best day! Here are a few of my favorite pictures from our big day!


                                                            Our wedding reception was 
                                                                                at the Tunica Riverpark and I 
                                                                                     thought it was perfect!




The morning after the wedding we headed to Mexico for our honeymoon. We had the best time and can't wait to go back. We stayed at Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita. It was beautiful and we had wonderful weather while we were there.
