My brother's wedding...and other randomosity





Well yesterday was my little brother's wedding (sniffle, sniffle). Here's a few pics from the reception tables, one of me and dan, and one of the happy couple! It makes me feel old that he's married now! Well that and that he's graduated college already too. I shouldn't feel old since we're only 19 months apart lol but i do! He's growing up so fast on me! My mom's kinda sad too cause she's "lost" both of her kiddos already...( I think she's feeling a lil empty nest syndrome....just not totally). I'm really proud of him though. He's such a good guy and he's great for his bride (her name is Gretchen by the way). They make a cute couple...if ever opposites attract...it's these two! He's so laid back and easy going and she's high strung and just really full of life lol for lack of other words...but I love her to death! It's weird to think that I now have a sister in law! Well I guess I already do cause terry has a sis but i have one for my side of the family! Aww! And they wrote there own vows....so sweet....and Daniel's made me cry! He's so sweet to her!! He was talking about how it took them awhile to figure out if they should be lovers or friends but they became friends...best friends and also lovers....and he was talking about how he'll always be there to love, cherish and protect her....awww...just super sweet!! it makes me a lil teary eyed thinking about it! I got to stay up with him half the night before the wedding doing last minute errands....we ran to walmart from like 11 to 1:30ish the night/morning lol before...then I helped him stay up and get his stuff together and spend a lil time together before he got married...it was fun! They are now spending a week in St. Lucia in the Virgin Islands for their honeymoon...I hope they can relax and have a good time.....they called us to let us know they made it safe!!

On another note, I think I talked about Terry's car falling apart the other day...well we're trying to buy another car....hopefully we can buy this car tomorrow morning...wish me luck! We've been test driving it all weekend and really like it...it's a 2007 Chrysler Sebring and it's silver. We think we can get a pretty good deal on it and maybe it should be in our price range...so pray we get approved and all goes smoothly!! well that's all i can think of for the moment...

My First Blog (on here)

So I noticed that my friend Angel has a blog on here so I was looking at hers and decided I should just start one all of my own! I really don't have too many things going on in my life but I figured that I am usually good at talking about absolutely nothing!

Well this Saturday is my brother's wedding! I'm so excited for him! It makes me feel old though....I mean we're only about a year and a half apart in age but he's really growing up! He just graduated from USAO last Friday and now he's getting married! I just keep thinking...."wow. If I had went to college, I would have already graduated or be getting close to it!" That's crazy to me because it feels like I just got out of high school....yet I've already been married for 5 years now! Time flies by!

On another note, we are in the process of looking for a new car. Something like this should be totally exciting to me but we weren't exactly planning on buying for another few months or so....basically enough time for us to save up a little bit of a downpayment. Well we've basically got nothing saved and yet here we are. Earlier this week...well technically on Saturday, Terry's car died.....well I wish I would've taken a pic to prove it...but it was definately not drivable any farther than it went. Sounds nuts (trust me I wasn't sure what to think when Terry called and told me) but the front axel thing that is attached to the front two wheels of his car....well it decided it didn't want to be with the car anymore...they totally fell off the frame! It was crazy looking. Luckily, no one was hurt and he managed to get it off the highway and into an alleyway. He and his brother had just came back from Rush Springs (speed limit 70) and came back into Marlow where it changes from 40 to 30 mph when it happened. They could've been killed or seriously injured if it would've happened just 10 min earlier! Very thankful about that. Well we managed to find someone Monday morning to buy it from us and tow it from it's final resting place lol. We got a whopping $165 for it. So sad...so that totally doesn't help much for the new car fund. I'm hoping we can find something for around $8-10k. We can't really afford anything more than that right now. And I hope we can get approved for the loan without a co-signer. This is our first MAJOR purchase. We bought the car that died a few years ago and it was just a couple thousand so this is big to us.

Well I guess that's all that's on my mind today...or at this moment. Wish me luck with the car hunting!!
