Nicole's Wedding

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Derek and Nicole Bridge!!





Me and Eliza, the brand new Mom!

I'm so happy for them!

Not only did I get to see Nicole marry her best friend and help celebrate such a special time in her life, but Nicole and I got to chat quite a bit at the reception! It was so good to see her so happy! I wish them the best!

Girls Weekend

Sarah, Mom, and I got to spend some time together last weekend. Eric was out of town for the weekend, so we met at Sarah's and had a great time. Friday night we ate some pizza and watched a movie. It was a very relaxing evening. Saturday morning Sarah and I went for a run together around Pendleton. It was a beautiful chilly morning and a great time to catch up with each other. After showers, we headed over to get manicures!




Showing off the lovely nails!! We also visited an antique shop where mom found some copper items!

They might not like it that I posted this picture, but I love how happy mom and Sarah look together! The rest of the day was spent shopping and it turned out to be successful for all three of us. It was great to spend the time together. I think Sarah has been trying to plan a girls weekend since before I got married. I'm glad it worked out!


This is a picture of the vines that cover our stairs. The flowers smell wonderful. So far the bees that are attracted to the flowers haven't bothered us. Spring has been beautiful in Bloomington!
