My Little Sister got Married

My sweet little baby sister got married on Sunday. It was a very long and exhausting week but it ended with a beautiful wedding. It was more perfect then I think any of us could have imagined. It was a beautiful day and so much fun. My sister looked.... amazing. She was just stunning. I took lots and lots of photos and will be posting them and reminiscing about the past couple of days. Here is a peek and one of my favorite photos. My cousin Kaylee took most of the photos of the actual wedding because I was a bridesmaid. She did such an amazing job. I am to exhausted to post anymore now but will be back soon with more photos and stories leading up to the wedding. Stay tuned... lol! Oh I almost forgot. To see more photos of our fun fun week please check out this cool blog my Mom made this morning. There are lots of photos there as well. Fudge and other Sweet Stuff

Ahhhhhhhh NUTS!..... or peanuts that is!

This is Stubby.

Stubby is our squirrel. He adopted us and we liked him so... we fed him peanuts and he stayed. He isn't a pet. He stays outside and comes and goes as he pleases. We do not pet him or hold him. He is brave but still timid if you get to close. He is such a hoot. Tuesday my Mom and I were cleaning house and we both stopped to do something on the computer. Something with Webkinz I am sure... lol! lol! And suddenly my Mom see's Stubby and he is sitting on our deck at the window looking in at us. It was the funniest thing ever. I wish I would have been able to capture that moment. So Mom says Stubby you want a peanut and she gets up and starts walking to the back door and here goes Stubby running around to the back door where she is waiting for him with his favorite treat. We think he heard us talking through the screen door so he decided to come and check things out. We are enjoying feeding him very much. He makes us laugh. He will even go around to the garage and beg for peanuts from my Dad. He has us all wrapped around his tiny fingers. I hope he doesn't think we have abandoned him when we leave for vacation.I guess he will have to survive on all the peanuts he has buried in the yard until we get back. lol! lol! lol! lol!

Iris Show

Last Saturday was the Annual Iris show here in our town. I haven't ever been to one before. Mom mentioned that is was coming up on Friday and I was really excited to go. Oh my goodness!! It was so amazing. I don't think I new there were so many different variety's of Iris's. They were gorgeous. I would love to be able to enter next year. Mom decided her most favorite was the white "Christmas" Iris. We both think they would look really nice in the front beds. Flowers amaze me. They are so intricate... and precise.... and delicate.... and fragile.... and it just hurts my brain to think about how absolutely gorgeous they are. Only God could create something so beautiful. Here of a few picks of our day at the Iris Show. It was lots of fun. I can't wait till next year.

Bad! Bad! Bad! Bug!

Oh my goodness I have had... the... worst... bug... EVER! It was horrible. Tuesday was a good day. I felt a little tired but we got a lot done and I enjoyed my day off. Mom and I went to the library and I got the next Janet Evanovich book. I am totally addicted now. Mom and Em have been practically begging me to read them for about a year now and I haven't done it. I kept to my Harry Potter and Twilight books. Finally I gave in though and got one from the library for our trip down to Colorado last February. I didn't even crack it on our trip. lol! Finally I decided I was tired of HP *gasp* and I had loaned my 3rd book of Twilight to a friend so I might as well start it. I mean what would it hurt... right! Now I am on book five and loving every minute of them. I can't wait to finish them so I can get to the next one. lol! Anyway after the library we headed to the mall. We hadn't been in a while so we wanted to check out the new Webkinz at Hallmark and see if they had any of the *NEW* items in. I got a sheet of each of the new stickers. YAY! I was super excited and then we went to F.Y.E. to see what sales they were having. I felt tired but nothing really out of the ordinary. It was a relaxing day. Then Wednesday morning I got up and showered and got dressed for work. I felt really tired and kind of nauseas. I decided against breakfast because I didn't feel all that great. I kept hoping it would go away. I had my therepy appointment with Judith at 11am like normal and was still not feeling well and hoping the feeling would go away. Nope.... I got home and Mom had made my favorite Chicken Salad and I tried to eat I really did. I just couldn't. I ate less then half my salad and decided I needed to lay down. I laid down until one thirty and had to be to work at 2pm and felt just awful. I was still going to try to go to work though. I came in and talked to Mom and she said if I was feeling nauseas I shouldn't go to work. I just kept thinking it would go away. I kept waiting ... and waiting... and waiting. So I went into the bathroom and that was that. Everything I had ever eaten in my entire life came up.... It was awful. Six times.... SIX times! Between 2pm and 6pm I tossed my cookies. After the second time I put a trash can by my bed. Good thing too! I was so so so so so so sick. I was so nauseaus I couldn't read or even keep my eyes open. I slept and slept and slept. Mom brought me and ice cube and I sucked on that and then this morning she brought me a sprite. It was funny she knocked on my door and wanted to know if I was dead. lol! lol! lol! I am feeling much better now except for some soreness around my ribs and shoulders. I am still so so so tired though. I am trying to stay up and be normal but all I want to do is crawl back in bed. I just want to sleep and sleep and sleep. I just can't seem to get enough rest. The really good thing is I have been able to eat pretty normally and keep everything down. I started with some chicken broth and that stayed down so I tried broth with rice and that stayed down and then we had grilled hamburgers for dinner. All good signs that the bug is gone. Tomorrow thank goodness is my regular day off again so I don't have to go to work. I am going to try to take it easy so I will be ready to go to work on Sat. I wouldn't wish this bad bug on anyone!
