That title is not exactly correct, if it were up to Leah we would be titled "The DUSTY ROSE Girls" and NOT Pink. She was very set against it being pink (:D) but one of the Mom's that we grew up with called us the Pink Girls, every time Brea and I heard it we would laugh just because we knew that Leah wouldn't like it.
The day of the wedding was a fun day, it started out very rainy and we were concerned that it might continue while we were going to take pictures but luckily it stopped just as we were taking pictures outside the Temple.
The funny part of the day was Brea...she didn't get all of her clothes until right before the wedding so she matched all of us but wasn't exactly the same so Kelsey decided that she was the "maid-of-honor," even without trying she had a bouquet that was a little different than everyone else.
Yeah I'm Home! and I have plenty to write about, I will as soon as I get pictures from Mom!
I've heard from many girls (and guys) about the drama that they have in their apartments and how they don't get along with their roommates and are just counting down the days until they can move out. I have been really lucky and never had that problem before, in fact it's quite the opposite--I really enjoy getting to know the people that I'm living with, talking with them, hanging out and learning/growing because of them. Sure we don't always agree but why focus on that?,
That being said I currently have some awesome roommates (not to downgrade the awesomeness of past roommates), this morning when I came home I was greeted with this (please forgive the upside-ness of the words, I didn't really think as I was taking the pictures and just shot as I saw it):
I had a wonderful trip and being home was made a gazillion (:D) times better seeing the thoughtful thing that my roommates did for me...I missed them too and glad that I'm back!
Do you see that dress that I'm wearing at Nathan and Sallee's wedding? Yesterday I wore it for the first time in a little over 2 and a half years. Why you may ask did I wait so long to wear it again?.... because until only a few months ago it was lost and not to be found. But I did find it, care to make a guess at where it was discovered? I'll tell you, in a box, in the back of Kyle's (my single brother) closet. The other items found in this box-another skirt or two, two purses, my hairdryer, plus some other assorted items. How my brother did not notice the box there I will never know, but it has been found again AND worn again. It will be worn soon again I believe as I got lots of compliments on it yesterday! :)
Mandy and Jamie's wedding is coming up soon (less than 4 weeks!) and so getting her announcements done have been a top priority. Last week Wanda, Brea, Addi, and I headed up to my Mom's and spent the day there working on getting as much done as possible.
Brea working hard at gluing the info sheet into the burgundy card.
Cards all folded up with the info sheets glued in.
The pretty little R's with jewels on them!
Parts all divided up and bagged to make it easier when it came time to put them together.
Cute Addi---she had her Halloween costume on but we took it off while she was sleeping.
More work. We had ran out of some pieces and so Wanda and my Mom ran to get them at the store, we had hopped to have everything done by the time they got back but it didn't happen.
As of last night Mandy said that more than half of the announcements were all tied, put together, and labeled! Look forward to getting your announcement soon!
3 Pink Lovelies! This was at the Temple at Erin and J.J.'s wedding. Kandis, Jamie and I were the BEAUTIFUL bridesmaids! What a fun weekend and an awesome reason to get together and celebrate :D
A little over a week ago one of my best friends made the choice to be sealed for time and all eternity, what an opportunity to be part of her special day. I ended the day with some mixed feelings, I was so excited for Brea and Darrell but a little sad at the same time. These few pictures are from Mom's camera.
"The girls" (well minus Brea that is) feet... Lindsey W., Jessica, Leah, and I. I was kind of showing it but we were all wearing bracelets that Brea gave us the night before her wedding, her new sister-in-law made them for us.
Kimmy wearing her necklace that Brea's new sister-in-law made for her as the Maid of Honor.
Some fun pictures of the "siblings" Tyler, Kimmy, and Corbin.
Tyler and Corbin being brothers.
Corbin and his girlfriend Brittney, I didn't get to talk to her very much but she seemed really nice.
We were super excited that we were able to find dresses that all matched and that were pretty close to Brea's colors. Jessica's and Leah's are the same and mine is a little bit different...personally I like mine the best :D
Me sitting on the bench waiting for Brea and Darrell to come out of the Temple, it was about here that a little bit of my mixed feelings came out.
Christiana--the photographer and Leah waiting for the happy couple to come out.
A snap shot of me that Mom got.
Mandy Fedor...it was so fun to see her and see how much she has NOT changed, I can't believe that it has been so long since I have seen her.
The beautiful boutonnieres that Brea's aunt made...Brea's aunt did such a wonderfully job and the flowers were BEAUTIFUL!
Brea's bouquet and the bridesmaids bouquets.
Momma G talking with others while waiting for the couple.
Grandma Blankeship...the Grandma of the Happy Bride
Leah was lucky and got the assignment of putting the boutonnieres on all the brothers, dad's, and grandparents- it was very entertaining watching her try and do it...she was afraid that she was going to stab Corbin.
Kimmy watching as Momma G showed Leah how to put on the first boutonniere.
Tyler got to be the first victim that had his boutonniere on, Momma G kindly showed Leah and everyone else how to put them on correctly.
Another view of Tyler having his boutonniere put on...luckily no blood was drawn (this time) :D
(Kimmy probably will kill me for this picture :D)...Gran (Brea's Great Grandma) and Kimmy caught mid talking.
Oh how are we so lucky to catch these amazing pictures of Kimmy?
Grandad (Brea's Great Grandpa), her cousin, and Gran patiently waiting.
Leah, Lindsey and I pulling out the flowers getting ready to pass them out to everyone.
Leah...the only one that ever seems to notice that the camera is facing her.
The Mother of the Bride is coming...that means that they are COMING!
The first glimpse of them!
They are getting closer!
Oh they look so beatiful and happy!
Ahh...they kissed!
Look how beautiful and happy she is, seeing her makes it so real and makes me so happy for her.
Family pictures...I know how difficult it is to get them all together :D
Pictures with both sets of parents.
Before we left Mom wanted to take a couple pictures of me where she had taken Libbey's pre-mission pictures.
