Another good weekend!

It started off by having an AWESOME wedding to attend.. My good friend Mandie from high school got married! Her wedding was gorgeous.. and so was she!! It was so nice to be with good friends and it was so amazing the way her NEW hubby looked at her as he was saying his vows.. It brought tears to my eyes... he was just saying them and was COMPLETELY in love with her..Here are some pictures from their beautiful wedding!

After the wedding we went straight home, packed and were out at Matt's parents cabin by 5 pm.. It was a GREAT getaway.. It was just so awesome to be away from all the responsibilities of normal everyday life! We just relaxed, sat around the fire and hung out with family. I actually had my pain spell come back for the weekend, which stunk, but it wasn't something that my meds didn't control! BECAUSE I was so relaxed, I only took 1 picture... It is the picture of my husband.. with ORANGE gloves on, doing the dishes!! He is too funny, and then the other ones are a couple months old, but this cabin is just the best place ever!










Then on Monday we went swimming all day with family!

AND AT LAST.... My AMAZING garden!!! Look at all the green!! My tomato plant isn't doing GREAT, but my green beans are!!



This Memorial Day weekend was just SO nice. It was a great feeling to just FORGET everything.. I can say forget, but I didn't at all..but I was just reminded of HOW AMAZING the people and surroundings in my life are! And it is making this JOURNEY, that much better!

Get AWAY weekend!!!

Ahhh. I feel SO fortunate, we are going away for the weekend to my husband's parent's cabin! They will be there too but it will be such a nice getaway from everything we have been going through!! They own 8 acres and it is in the middle of NOWHERE... the stars are amazing, and we have 3-4 wheelers we take with us...we plan on going fishing (I haven't gone in years!).. we usually get out there at LEAST every 6 weeks.. it will be a nice long weekend.. the last time we were there is when we conceived..SO BYE FRIENDS!! Have a GREAT Memorial Day!! I will upload with pictures when I get back!

:( Sad Day Yesterday

So...I asked Matt to HIDE all baby stuff! The day before finding out I was having an ectopic pregnancy I had my first Dr.'s appointment, they gave me a folder of pregnancy stuff, I scheduled my U/S appointment, then I went to Target to get some cute stuff because I was SO excited!!

So, I am cleaning YESTERDAY.. of ALL DAYS!! And then BAM- right in my face falls out an appointment card... saying I have SHOULD have had an appointment at 2:40... Not only just an appointment, but my ultrasound...

Talk about being devastated AGAIN... It brought back every emotion.. I was sobbing... I'm not mad at Matt at all, he did do very well at hiding it all.. so since I blog, I decided I wanted to take some pictures of it all.. Because that is my emotional therapy, pictures and colors.. lol.. and boy do they make cute baby stuff these days!!.. At least next time we get preggers I will have some special stuff for our baby!

Just thought I would share..

"Lost love is still love. It takes a different form, that’s all. You can’t see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken, another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nuture it. You hold it. You dance with it." -Mitch Albom

Good Weekend...

I had a great weekend!! Finally feeling MUCH better! On Friday, Matt and I took our cousins Chloe and Katelyn to the zoo.. Chloe will be 3 in August and Katelyn just turned 1 this month. All I can say is WOW!! Two kids are alot to handle!! It was a GORGEOUS day.. and they really had a good time.. It was just hard.. We were in for a rude awakening! But here are some pictures of them.. they are too cute!!

On the way home from the Zoo I had to stop at my cousins and take a headshot of her.. she is trying out for RENT.. how cool huh?! Well anyways, she is so cute too, so I took a couple extra pictures.. so this is my favorite picture of her!

Then on Saturday I spent the whole day at my cousins dance recital.. My cousin Jenny has 5 daughters.. Now Jenny is more like an Aunt to me.. so her daughters are technically my 2nd cousins... but they are more like just regular ones :) But they are amazing.. I love them so much! They are like the 1st kids I remember from being babies until now.. I remember growing up how people would say STOP GROWING! YOUR GETTING TOO BIG! and now I catch myself saying that to them.. Rebecca, her oldest, is the first person I ever babysat.. AND NOW SHE IS ON STAGE dancing a SOLO!!! She won a scholarship and was able to do a solo dance.. Only 4 of them danced this year, but Rebecca and Rachel, the two oldest are just awesome!! The others are just still so cute because they are young.. I used to dance where they dance so it makes it that much more special :) They rock.. I don't have any pictures from that though :( They turned out to be too blurry!!

Then on Sunday, we skipped out on church... yikes... and just relaxed since I had to be at work on Monday. So we hung out at home.. Then we went to my cousin Aly's again, and took Katelyn's "1st" Birthday pictures.. they turned out SO cute!! I found a cute tutu and a big pink bow, and that is what we had her wear :) Oh I just LOVED it..She has the prettiest, longest baby eyelashes, with bright blue eyes.. She is just gorgeous.. PLUS I am her Godmother, so I just eat that up! :) Here are a few!

Alright, SO I am going to end with one of my favorite SONGS and a good quote :)

I was walking home from school on a cold winter day

Took a shortcut through the woods, and I lost my way

It was getting late, and I was scared and alone

But then a kind old man took my hand and led me home

Mama couldn't see him, oh but he was standing there

And I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers

Chorus:

Oh I believe there are angels among us

Sent down to us from somewhere up above

They come to you and me in our darkest hours

To show us how to live, to teach us how to give

To guide us with the light of love

When life held troubled times, and had me down on my knees

There's always been someone to come along and comfort me

A kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand

A phone call from a friend, just to say I understand

And ain't it kind of funny at the dark end of the road

That someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope

Chorus

They wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places

To grace us with their mercy, in our time of need

Chorus

To guide us with a light of love

A baby is an angel whose wings decrease as his legs increase. ~Author Unknown

SO ready...

So... for those of you who know I have been off of work for medical reasons.. I will spare you all the horrible details, if you are family you know about it, BUT.. I AM HEALTHY NOW..THANK GOODNESS .. It has been terrible, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.. I get to go back to work on Monday!! I am so ready to be back on a schedule and have normalcy! I have never been more ready to be back at work in my life.. I am also just ready for a weekend where I feel good, which will (fingers crossed) be this weekend.. who knows I may have a beer or a glass of wine! yay!

SO I shot a wedding a couple of weekends ago, Troy and Miriah were SO much fun. I have gotten some of the pictures edited..here are just a few...

There will be a million more to come, seeing as I took like 900!!!! It was a great time!

I also just edited my sisters senior grad party invite.. I can't believe that my youngest sister is graduating high school. It is pretty surreal. I am so proud of her. She is such a great girl! I really like the invite! For those of you who know her, your invited! The more the merrier!

So since I have been sick and needed something to take my mind off of what is going on in my life I have decided to start a garden. We have a townhome so it is a Patio Garden of Pots! :) It is so cute! I will post pictures of it as it grows! But anyways, we are growing Tomato's, Green Beans, Green Onions, Jalopeno, Cilantro, Basil and flowers on our front porch! The tomato plant is already growing like wildfire! It is amazing what a little bit of water, sun and Miracle Grow can do, and we just potted it on Sunday.. hopefully it will produce great veggies for us!! My main goal is to make a lot of yummy salsa!! I make it every year with my mom's veggies.. Murphy our cat keeps looking out there all the time.. too bad he is not allowed out! We don't want to lose him! Here are some pictures of the garden today!

Alright well I think that is enough for today.. I have updated you all a little on my life.. I am not sure if I will be able to update this everyday, or every other day or once a week.. But I do know that I really like this a lot so far! :)

And my quote...

"One of the greatest gifts that life can give to anyone is the very special love that families share...As years go by, it's good to know that there will always be certain people in our lives who care. For there are countless things that only families have in common and memories that no one else can make...And these precious ties that bind a family together are bonds that time and distance cannot break. How fortunate we are when we have relatives to love us, it makes the world a happy place to be...Few gifts in life will last as long or touch the heart as deeply as the very special gift of family." - Craig S. Tunks

Ahh what a week...

Hi everyone! My name is Lindsey... So I decided to join this blogging world so that I can start journaling more.. Matt and I are a young married couple. He is 24 and I am 22.. We got married in August and it was amazing..and still is!

Matt works for UPS and then he also coaches Varisty Soccer for Madison Christian School...

I work for a Chiropractor and am attempting a career in photography as well.. It is my passion. When my camera is in my hand I am in my element.. :)

We together have a cat named Murphy, and I must admit he is the cutest/coolest/meanest/whiniest cat in the world. But he makes us very happy...

Ok I think that is enough for now... :)

I think I will always end with a good quote...

"Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it's what you are expected to give -- which is everything."
