A Year In Review – Part 1

 

January

Ryan and I rang in the new year at a wedding reception!

During my time off during the holidays I finally got to meet a special little guy! Landyn arrived very early and got home at Christmas! He was the smallest baby I had ever held!

I made lots of wedding decisions like what shoes I was going to wear and another dress to wear at the reception.

February

A very special couple got married in the month of February. We celebrated the union of Amanda and Luke!

Ryan and I celebrated Valentines day by going snowmobiling!

On the wedding front we got alot done! Invitations got sent out, table numbers got made and we had our engagement announced in the local paper!

March

March is always such a busy month for us! Lots of things to celebrate!

At the end of February till the beginning of March, Ryan and I headed to Vegas for a work conference and a trip! We had so much fun and even got to see the Grand Canyon!

I couldn’t believe a year had passed already since Ryan had got down on one knee to ask me to marry him!

We celebrated Ryan’s, my brothers, Faiths and Clarks 1st birthdays all in the month of March!

I was SHOCKED by a surprise bridal shower! My first shower of 3 and I was completely taken aback by all that we were blessed with!

April

April was a big month mentally for me! It was one month before one of the most important days of my life, our wedding day!

The month of April was FILLED with wedding activities.

My lovely bridesmaids planned and executed an amazing bachelorette weekend for me where we all had way too much fun!

Ryan and I also had our stag in April!

I also had a shower from my family which was amazing!

Our family business, Mountainview celebrated 35 years!

On Easter weekend, Ryan and I finally got our new car! We also had a great time with family over the long Easter weekend

The weekend before my wedding I was somewhat surprised by an amazing shower from all my wonderful girlfriends!

On May 12th, 2012 I walked down an aisle surrounded by family and friends and married my best friend!

Ryan and I had an amazing honeymoon week in the Bahamas!

June

With the wedding over, it was back to reality and back to our regular scheduled lives. The big difference was now Ryan and I lived together and we were married!

I attended a bachelorette dinner, had our church Sunday School Picnic and went to see a men’s choir all on one busy weekend!

One of my longest and dearest friends (not to mention 1st cousin) was married in June! Shannon and Casey had a beautiful wedding and we were so blessed to be able to share in their special day!

  8. Have you ever considered about adding a little bit
    more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is
    important and everything. Nevertheless just imagine if you
    added some great visuals or videos to give your posts more,
    "pop"! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this site
    could undeniably be one of the best in its niche.
    Good blog!

  9. Surfing around stumbleupon.com I noticed your website bookmarked
    as: Blogger: Small Town Kind of Life. I'm assuming you book marked it yourself and wanted to ask if social bookmarking gets you a large amount of targeted visitors? I've been thinking
    of doing some book-marking for a few of my websites
    but wasn't certain if it would generate any positive results. Many thanks.

  17. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.

    You clearly know what youre talking about, why throw away your
    intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?

  22. First off I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick
    question in which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
    I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear
    your thoughts before writing. I have had a tough time clearing
    my thoughts in getting my ideas out there. I truly do take pleasure in writing however it
    just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes
    are usually wasted just trying to figure out how to begin.
    Any ideas or hints? Appreciate it!
