Our Home

Andy and I have finally entered a little farther into the technology age and bought a digital camera, so you might see more pictures here in the future. For now, here are a few quick snapshots of our home and us of course. :-)

Okay, so this on the left is our living room and the door into our bedroom. There's not usually a bicycle in our living room, but Andy's been replacing his tires (for the past week) so that's an added feature. Below is Andy in our bathroom, which is off the kitchen.

To the left is the view of the kitchen and back door from the living room, the bathroom is past the fridge and to the left. And that's about it, it's small, but we like it. :-) It's definitely home now. It's nicer to be in this apartment because of the windows in the living room and there isn't a wall between the kitchen and living room, which is nice to have it all open. P.S. That rose on the coutner is from my wonderful husband just so you know. :-) He's pictured again down below.

The last of the wedding photos

Alright, I'm getting sick of posting photos, so these will be it for now, Hope they help all of you who couldn't make it, we really did miss you!


This is probably my favorite photo of Andy and I, we're outside, which we love, and the look on my face says I adore my husband, and his is filled with love. Pretty perfect.















This is the entire wedding party right before the flower girls got sent home to take a nap before the wedding.










This is Andy with his guys: back row left to right: Jay, Ryan, my brother Caleb were the groomsmen, Alex my nephew was the ringbearer, front row is Tom and Andy, Tom was the best man.

Our wedding cake! I love gerber daisies.



















This is Andy and I with my parents, grandparents, brother, sister-in-law, and nephew.











This is Andy and I with all of my extended family that were there. And that wasn't even half of them! I have a huge family. :-)











This is Andy and I with my Grandma Hattie. She passed away 2 1/2 weeks after the wedding, so these photos of her are priceless to my entire family. I miss her so much. God truly works miracles because I prayed for years Grandma would be at my wedding.

More Wedding Photos

Okay, the last post posted without too many problems, so I'll try some more photos. If you haven't though, go down and look at the others first. These will be in random order, but hopefully you enjoy them anyway.

This happens to be my mom's favorite photo of me, it's just as we're getting ready to leave and I'm telling everyone good-bye. I really felt as joyful as I look. It's neat because my mom is in the background, and I look so much like her at my age.








Anybody from Pillsbury will appreciate this photo. This is Andy's dad, my dad, and our serious Bible prof. Mr. Hudson all sporting "Frostbite Farm" baseball hats. That's my dad's farm, and this cracks me up.









This is Andy and I with His mom and dad and sister who was a bridesmaid.










This is Andy and I with his entire family that was there.











Here are all my girls and myself. The 4 colors were so much fun to do, especially with decorating. So left to right, back row is Jenn (Maitron of Honor), Tracy (Maid of Honor) Myself (the bride), Janelle (Andy's sister and bridesmaid), Anne (bridesmaid).
Second row is Andrea in pink and Abigail in purple (Jr. Bridesmaids). The little flower girls are Ryan and Emma. They were adorable!.






This picture I think is so cute! I was fixing my dad's tie for him while Emma (flower girl) watched. :-) It was fun seeing my dad in a tux.









Here's Andy helping me into our "Honeymoon Car" Which was my parents very nice Toyota with A/C, sunroof, leather seats. It was a surprise to me after losing my car (it was stolen by my brother to decorate) finding our luggage and generally just wanting to get out of there. It's a fun memory though. :-)





This is my car, which we were supposed to take on our honeymoon until my brother and uncle stole it from the hiding spot. Andy saw it at the church before we left, I didn't obviously.













One of the many enjoyable kisses at the reception. :-)









The new husband and wife getting ready to leave, for the first time. Boy did they all get me after a missing car, a vehicle switch, some quick decorating, we finally left again! ;-) Off to the honeymoon on the beautiful Gunflint Trail.










Here are my dad and I walking down the aisle, he had to hold me back! I always walk to fast and if he hadn't been walking slow I would have been down that aisle in no time flat. :-) I had a cute boy to meet down there after all.










This photo is after we were pronounced man and wife and Mr. and Mrs. Andy, we walked back down the aisle to the theme from "MacGyver" We were definitely 80's children! We love that show and it was something fun we watched together when we were dating, so it seemed so appropriate.

Finally, Wedding Photos

Alright, so I have finally remembered to bring discs to the library to post some wedding photos. Not quite sure how to do it since it's been a while, but I'll try. Hope you enjoy!

So this is the best picture of all, the first kiss as husband and wife. It didn't seem all that long, but it must have been because everyone started laughing. :-)














The one on the left is the groom ( now my wonderful hubby Andy!) Waiting at the front of the church. Stuff was kind of chaotic at the back of the church before I walked down the aisle so I was about halfway down before I remembered to look at him. :-) It was sure worth it when I did though.

So here's me, probably tired of smiling already, but I love looking at the pictures, and realizing how unstressed I was about picking out a dress. I literally said "This one will work" and now looking at the pictures I realize that I loved the dress, it was perfect.

This one is the happy couple at the front of the church. It was so funny because the florist freaked out about 2 days before the wedding because her supplier had sent her the wrong shade of pink gerber daisies. I didn't really care, I wanted some shade of hot pink, some shade of soft pink and white, so I thought they were beautiful. definitely not cumbersome to carry.

Never Say _____ Well You Know How It Goes

Okay, so I should never say I'm content. Turns out we are moving apartments, right across the hall. That apartment does have more windows and is more open, so moving it is. So more painting in the Newlywed's future. Thankfully I hadn't gotten around to painting the kitchen yet. The bathroom isn't quite as nice, but that's okay, the living room windows will make it worth it. Plus one of the walls in the bedroom is Red, so who can pass that up? :-)

In other news, I know for now why I hadn't gotten a job yet. My Grandma on my dad's side passed away last Wednesday, so Andy and I made a very fast trip to my parents' house for the weekend and funeral. We did get to see Anne & Dietrich and some other friends, so that was the bright note. I will miss her so much though. We lived on the same property and then in the same house as my Grandma my entire life until she went in the nursing home 3 years ago, so that's a while childhood of being close. It was so hard to lose her. She was a Christian, and only wanted everyone else to believe on her Lord Jesus Christ, so we know for sure she's at home in heaven, and all she wanted was to see Grandpa again with her Savior, but it was still hard.
It touched me so much how her letter to her family that she wrote years ago only wanted for all of them to know Jesus and receive Him as Savior. What a legacy I've been left, and I know I owe my salvation to the testimony of that lady and my parents.

I miss you Grandma.
