Wedding Festivities

So, baby brother got married to a beautiful girl August 7th. They are in Fiji now and the four day wedding celebration was fabulous. I have much to share and many photos to show and as you can imagine am also just a teeny bit busy so as I can I am going to do a post here and there about it. I also want to still share about our time with the girls. They were here for several weeks and it was a hoot!

To start with, EVERY wedding must have some sort of bachelor/ette gathering, shan’t it? Where you go out and make fools of yourselves. I remember for ours Adam went and played paintball….after they had a few drinks. He was a big ol’ bruise on our honeymoon. Real smart, dear. I wasn’t real involved with either of the parties rather had a very nice girls only supper at a nice restaurant with a cousin, my aunts, sister and sister-in-law and mom. Loved it. We did know, however that the guys were able to get a big ol’ fancy schmancy limo and the girls did NOT.

So. Being the girls that we are, we thought…..that just IS NOT FAIR. No sirree. What to do, what to do? We split up in two different cars and decided to search for the limo. We knew the guys had to be in a bar or some other guy-type of place and let’s be honest, one cannot hide a limo that easily. It took awhile but guess who found it?! Yep: Mama of the groom!

...some of the rest of us...

We hijacked the driver and took the limo to where we knew the girls were. I love this picture of Linden! I also sent this to the guys per cell phone to let them know we had their “ride”.

Now, while I hate to admit that my brother is even out of grade school yet, let alone of age to drink or be married or…whatever. I have to include this picture just so you can see the t-shirt he had on.  note to reader: cock head to left to read. (Oh, and Adam got in BIG trouble when he said…game over? Don’t you mean the game is just starting?)

14 Amazing Years

I have been incommunicado. I cannot believe how long it has been since my last post! Wow. We have been so very busy and have some news to share that I knew I would want to blog about but couldn’t just yet so was kind of “stuck” because of that too (noooooo, we aren’t pregnant….drats!).

But today is a day to celebrate my marriage. Just as with anything, there have been peaks and there have been valleys but through it all….gosh, I love this guy! Babe, I’m excited for the upcoming journey in our life. We have a lot coming up in the next couple of months and with you at my side, I know it will all be worth it! I love you forever, and ever and no matter what.

Happy Birthday, My Love

Today marks the celebration of my wonderful Husband’s birth. As the past two weeks have been horrendously busy (we’ve been at home only 4 days total) I was doubtful I would even get a cake made for him. All he wanted was the infamous dirt cake, a Carter family tradition. I got the cake made but forgot the candles. Grrrr. Never fear~the lighter substituted well!

He’s such a stud

Remember this post where I wrote about Adam being nominated for employee of the month? Well…folks….winner winner, chicken dinner!!! I will be sleeping next to a real live super-star tonite~and a hottie at that! And, to think that he’s only been there since September. Wow…think of things this great man could do with more time. Time to watch this movie again…oh, and I’m sure glad Adam’s eyes are a lot better since the accident so he isn’t like the guy in this video with the bottle-cap glasses (“I don’t know what I see”).

Isn’t she gorgeous?

Okay, he isn’t too bad either I guess. Awhile back I put a couple of engagement photos of my baby brother Jesse and his bride-to-be Linden but we got the real deal for Christmas! Yay! And, here they are scanned in. The last one isn’t the clearest but it is really cool as they chose what they call a “metallic” type finish to it so it is kind of shiny and glows almost. Hard to describe but real nice, Clark. It was taken in the dark. All of them were taken in Glacier National Park.
