Wedding Day

Follow my blog with Bloglovin My wedding was held on September 28, 2014 on a warm fall (summer in CA) day!

We got married at Strathearn Historical Park in Simi Valley, CA.

The day was perfect!- maybe because I didn't take anything too seriously. I just enjoyed every moment and didn't worry about the little things. Oh my, there we're things that I now look back on and think, "How did I not pull out this person's hair?"

It was the perfect day for me and all-in-all, I married my best friend. I wouldn't have it any other way!

Details:

Dress was purchased at David's Bridal-Melissa Sweet

DIY- easy and budget friendly way to show the order of events. Hubby helped me paint it on. It was a 10 minute project on a wood pallet! 

Another DIY inexpensive way to do your seating arrangement while simmulating the look of a chalkboard. Used black foam core board, silver sharpie markers and ran a piece of chalk (flat) through it to achieve the look of a chalkboard.

DIY cloth material and burlap flowers.

Getting ready:

Ceremony:

Flower girls all wore lace dresses with cowboy boots =)

I added a picture of my brother (in heaven) onto my bouquet as a way to have him close to me during this special day.

Hope you enjoyed the few images from my wedding day! We had a blast and I loved how all the images came out. Photography is by Lindsey Lane Photography

Quick! Bun in the oven!

So we wasted no time to start a family. Well in all reality, I believe we waited 6 weeks, not bad!

We had talked about having a family and decided that we would put it in God's hands when he would allow us to be parents. That turned out to be rather soon. 

I knew I was pregnant mainly because I got sleepy! I don't mean regular sleepy when you stayed up late and could use a nap. I mean like I would get home from work and fall asleep until 9pm, wake up use the bathroom and go back down! That seemed a little odd but we hadn't taken a test yet.

We finally took a pregnancy test and it came back negative...I guess it was too early to be read on the test. That same week I got hired in as permanent to the job I was working. Part of the deal was that I needed to go get a physical in order to complete the hiring process. At the physical exam they mentioned that they needed to do a chest x-ray----no! I mentioned that although I was unsure if I was pregnant, I felt uneasy about having an x-ray until I was positive that I wasn't. They understood and mentioned that I can come back in a few days once I was sure.

Thank God I waited! I took another pregnancy test that same day and sure enough...PREGO!

We really were sooooo excited!

Here is my hubby being silly with the positive pregnancy test!

We obviously waited until the 1st trimester was complete before we shared the news with anyone other than close friends and family. 

We had Lindsey Lane Photography help us with our pregnancy announcement pictures!

Welcome to my life!
