Two Weddings and A HOUSE!

Well, it has been a busy and eventful week for us. Last weekend we had two weddings. One being my cousin Natalie's up in Logan. The second was Dave's good friend Grady on Saturday. Both of which were beautiful. Monday came and we were FINALLY able to close on our house! For those that don't know, we've been searching to find and buy a house since before we even moved back from St. Louis last summer. It's been one of the biggest rollercoasters of both of our lives. No joke. I didn't think I would admit this ever but it's honestly made us grow and learn and appreciate so much more. Wednesday we were able to move in so, although it was the middle of a work week and with most people we knew working, we seized the opportunity to move in. Loading the first trailer was Dave, me and my mom...Dave was a maniac! He was carrying couches and beds on his bare back. I tried my best to help but I'm a weakling compared to him. Since Wednesday we've been non-stop. We were able to take a couple days off of work so that has helped the process go a bit faster but we've still got some more to do, plus we're installing wood floors in the next couple weeks. I can't really express in words how happy and excited we are to be new homeowners with all of our belongings under one roof and not having to live out of bags, cars, and boxes after a year of that!!! In the words of my husband, WAHOO...OOO!

Beautiful Natalie. I felt honored for her to wear my dress:)


Grady and Lauren's wedding. It was at the same place we had our reception. Gorgeous!

Can't you just see the happiness in our eyes???
We want to give a shout out to those that gave us a helping hand in this process and those that will be lending a helping hand in the days to come!
