17 days of freedom for my sister-in-law!

My sister-in-law is getting married in 17 days. Only 17 days of freedom before she is Mrs. Jonathan Gore! I am getting my dress fitted tonight with Andrew and we are picking up the Christmas cards I ordered. Andrew's Aunt Beth is watching Calleigh for the night and then his grandparents are keeping her for the day tomorrow! I am looking forward to spending some time with Andrew tonight, just the two of us! Below is a pic of the dress.....

I doubt that when I put it on it will look that good, but oh well! I lost 1 pound today at the Biggest Loser weigh in! I have been losing weight, it is just taking some time. I have lost 13 pounds since the beginning, which was 6 weeks ago. I hope that over break I can exercise a little and lose a little bit more before the wedding!

I have been checking the place where I signed up to have my blog made over and my name is 2nd on the list! It is getting closer. I do have Christmas break from December 19-January 5, so maybe when I come back I will have a new look for the new year!

I have gotten a lot of work done today, getting things accomplished always makes me feel better, not like my day has been a waste!

Well, I do have some more things to get done today, so I need to get back to work! I'll post pics of me in the dress tomorrow and you can decide if I measure up to the model(haha!)

Love to all,

Happy Anniversary to us!

Three years ago today Andrew and I got married! The ride has been a great one ever since! Our love for each other has done nothing but grow more and more! We have been through a lot together. WE have first gotten married, moved away from our families, decided to move back, purchased our first house, first car, and first pet. We have made changes to our house together, went on vacations together, been through the death of family together, struggled to get pregnant and then by the grace of God had our beautiful little angel together. We are always there for the other when they need it and always support each other. Our faith in God has grown stonger through each other. I want to be the wife he always imagined having, and he is the answer to all of my prayers.


(Our wedding day!)


For those of you who know me well, I have had my fair share of loser boyfriends in the past. I had the normal guy who turned to drugs, then came the verbally and physically abusive guy, next was the guy who I wanted to change, but he had other plans, and lastly was Andrew, the guy I always dreamed of. September 18, 2004 was a day I will never forget; the day Andrew asked me to spend the rest of my life with him! September 17, 2005 was the day we vowed to love each other through thick and thin, forever and ever! August 2, 2007, our lives changed when we found out a baby was on the way to make our family complete! April 1, 2008, we welcomed our little girl into the world and our lives have never been the same. These are just a few of the highlights of our time together; memories I will NEVER forget! I know there are so many more out there for us, so I am ready! I am blessed to have such and wonderful person in my life and even more blessed to say that he is MY husband!


(Turkey hunting together!)


Thanks Andrew, for making all my dreams come true and for being the best husband ever! Happy Anniversary! I hope there are so many more memories ahead for us! Thanks for letting me be your wife! I love you!

Love to all,

Congrats, The Bachelorette, and others

Well, I am going to start todays post by congratulating Julie and her new husband on getting married!


Being married is such a blessing and such a wonderful thing. I have been blessed with a wonderful husband and now a wonderful daughter! Life is great!

I also want to give a little shout out to my friend Chelsea, you looked amazing in the pagent! Way to go!




As some of you may know, I am a HUGE fan of the tv show The Bachelor/The Bachelorette. The Bachelorette just ended this Monday. Let's just say for me, it was a shocker. Jason, who was my favorite all along made it all the way to the final rose ceremony. He was sweet, good looking, had a successful job, and was ready to be in love. He seemed to have is guard up for such a long time and when he finally told DeAnna about his son, Ty, his guard came down. They began falling in love and I thought for sure he was the one show was going to pick. Then, the first car pulls up to the mansion(and if you watch the bachelor/bachelorette, you know what this means!). When they opened the door I knew Jason was not the one she picked. The problem was, he was so sure, and from the look on her face she did not show anyone he was not the one she picked. She even let him get down on one knee before she told him that she was in love with someone else! What was that all about?


She did pick Jesse, and at the final show they seemed like they were very happy! They have even set a date already! So, sometimes we are suprised by the choices other make and things can look and seem one way and do a total 360 on ya! You just never know what to expect!



Calleigh got her baby pictures taken last Thursday and they turned out so good! She is such a little camera hog, she loves having her picture taken! I will post her pics soon! I am thinking about having her in the little baby contest at the fair this coming week! We'll see about that, I am still deciding! She is so sweet, such an answer to our prayers! Well, I will quit not, I have a lot to write about but I will save it for next time!


Love to all,
