sistersss

I have a confession.  It may be silly to some, but it's the truth.  Here goes: I am obsessed with my sisters.  They are two of my most favorite women in the whole world.  They have put up with my crap shenanigans for over 24 years.  They are beautiful, inside and out.  They have husbands that are so wonderful & perfect for them.  They have adorable little boys (a girl, too, in FOUR days!!!) that just make Aunt Sis' heart melt!  They are true advice givers, crap-callers, laugh-inducing, hug-giving, God-fearing, fun-loving and STUPENDOUS little sisters, and I am blessed to have them as my own :)


Now, all that said, here are some of my favorite pictures with my sisters from my wedding.....and some with momma too, because after all, we learned all we are from her.

(ahem, did I mention our dresses had pockets?! yes, please!!)

too many to choose....

...but these are certainly two of my favorites!

I have decided I am going to post pictures on my blog by "theme" so as to avoid a picture overload.  Today I have given you just two of my favorites, next post I will do just me & my girls, next BL & his boys, then just ceremony, post-ceremony....you get the point.  This might bore you to tears but it's great for me to gather (and widdle down) just my favorites.  

Happy Birthday Momma Mel!

I realize that I am bias, but, I truly do have the world's greatest mom!  I want to be a mom myself for many reasons, but one of the biggest is that I want the opportunity to impact my kids' lives the way my mom has impacted ours.  I am still not sure how she did it raising FIVE CrAzY children, but she did it all with brilliantly, and there was not a day that went by as a child when I did not feel like I was the most special kid in the world (great moms make all their kids feel this way, right?)...

Momma, I hope today has been wonderful and I look forward to celebrating with you tonight!

Honeymoon....yes please!

While I sort trough the 1,601 (yes - 1,600 and 1) pictures on the disks that my photographer sent me I will share some honeymoon pics....we had an amazing time at Secrets Capri down in Riviera Maya in Mexico!  I would highly recommend this resort to anyone seeking an all-inclusive option.  The food, the pool, the service, the beach, the view, it was ALL wonderful!!  We selected this resort based on a few things: location, amenities, and high on the priority list: adult only.  Anyone who knows BL and me knows that we love kiddos (our wedding was full of them!), but we wanted our honeymoon to be sans the kiddos, and therefore looked only at adult-only resorts.  We made a great decision, to say the least.  

at the Tulum ruins:

Underground snorkeling in the sacred Mayan pools.  This was beautiful!

we loved the hammocks! 

...wish we were back!

When you're honeymooners, you get a lovely banner on your door.

The main fountain just below the lobby is full of the cutest little turtles.  These little guys get banana breakfast from resport guests everyday at 9:30.  This was so fun!

 love. love. love.

Stay tuned for some wedding pictures in the coming days, I have a lot to sort through!!  

Married.

Looks like it's time for a major update around here...I'm hitched!

...more to come, but here is just a taste with two of my favorite pictures from friends!
