Today was a magical day...

Today was such a beautiful magical day. Ellen got married today!!! The little girl I have known since she was 6 years old is now a beautiful married woman!! I got to see her before the wedding and it was really special.
I had seen pictures of her in her dress but to see the whole package put together. WOW. it took my breath away and I almost cried. But I was too excited for her!
She was typical Ellen, hyper, excited and just ready!! I love that about her! Probably because we're so much alike!!
And then I got to see my Amy!! It was SO GOOD to hug her!! I haven't seen her since her wedding a year and a half ago, since she moved to Hawaii with her hubs. I just love her. We've been friends for 15 years now and I know no matter what she'll always be there for me. Amy and Ellen aren't just friends. They are family.
The lovely Apes went with me to the wedding and we had such a good time!! It was seriously one of the most fun weddings I have ever been to! Not stuffy, lots of laughter and it just showed Ellen's personality so well!!
I love capturing the close up of the bride seeing her groom. I almost didn't get this because i was about 2.5 seconds away from going into the ugly cry. Somehow I managed to hold it back but it was close. so. close. One of the things Ells did that I loved was walk into her own song. She had a non vocal version of Love Story by Taylor Swift, can't remember if it was all piano or had other instruments but it was beautiful!! her attendants walked in and then when the music crested the doors open and in she came. it gave me chills.
I seriously love this pic. SO beautiful. They were singing to eachother. And that started me crying again
I love this!! Not just because its SO Ellen, but because I have an almost identical picture of Amy from her wedding!! Enthusiasm runs in the family:)
Loved this too! Instead of boring walking down the aisle each pair did something unique! One chick high fived me, and Ames danced. This is the famous Amy Face that I am still trying to perfect!!
I love the rose petals as well. I didn't throw mine because i was taking a picture but i oh so helpfully threw them in the car beforehand... 0=-)
Me and my Other Mom, Mary (amy and ellen's mom) I just love her to pieces! I have spent more time at her home than anyone else that i'm not blood related to! AND she made chicken and noodles for Ellen and Me!! She told me that she made them for Ellen but she was thinking of me too because she knew how much I loved them! AND I DO!! sidenote, does anyone not in Indiana put mashed potatoes on the bottom and then put the chicken and noodles on top? it seems to be a regional thing but dang its good. try it!!
Ames and I working on my Amy face. Still not perfected.
And one last picture with the beautiful Bride before I left!!

It was such a perfect day, I am so happy for Ellen I can't even put it into words. God is good.

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t...

Book Review: The moments you were mine by LJ Evans

  Once again I was lucky enough to be on the ARC team for another book by LJ Evans. Since I have discovered LJ she has become one of my top 5 must read authors. LJ’s books are like Christmas Day. Or your birthday if you’re like me and obnoxiously celebrate both. :) You count down the days until it happens with great expectation and excitement and then it gets there and you almost don’t want it to be there because then it will be over and you have to wait another 364 days for the magic to come by again. Thankfully for all of us LJ writes more than one book a year so we are all #blessed in that aspect. I’m always super excited to get and read her books, but it’s a mixed feeling of not wanting to start reading it because then it will be over, and I can’t wait to read it and see what happens. Oh the struggle of being a book lover! I had some FEELINGS over Parker and Fallon. I felt like they were real people and at several points I wished they were real people so I could take t...

Life in Phone Pics

 Can I just say how much I appreciate the fact that my new phone takes so much better pictures than my old one?! I have been using my phone for almost all of my pics! And bonus, no purple hair! Above is a new dessert I made. A Smores Cookie Bar. It was yummy. I had some and then realized I would eat the entire thing if I kept it. So I gave 90% of it away to my students. This just cracked me up. Last weekend when I was elevating my feet I obviously had the lights off and yet my toes were so neon pink that you could still see them in the darkness!  My toes weren't the only thing pink on my body. My sunburn was of an epic proportion. now it has started to peel. Everywhere. Even my arms. yuck. I'll spare you from that! Oh well, at least my hair looked cute here!  Yes, I am really showing you a picture of my cabinet. Last night I decided to totally move all but one of my cabinets. Erm. or rather the insides of them. My dishes and glasses used to be in th...
