Weddings Galore!

Recently Jeff and I had the privilege to join 2 people on their wedding day. They are both sweet friends and coworkers of Jeff's. The first wedding we went to was for Cathy and Rob. They decided to have a field day the morning before their wedding. I thought this was so fun! We played games where we had to pop balloons the fastest without using our hands, tug of war, and blind man's tag, and many more. It was so fun getting to know some people before the actual wedding!


The wedding was later that day at a beautiful outside venue. Cathy rode up in a horse drawn carriage before walking down the aisle, so pretty! One of my favorite parts about weddings is seeing the dress that the bride picked out for her special day. I must say that Cathy looked absolutely gorgeous!


My other favorite part about weddings is seeing the way the bride and groom look at each other!


After the wedding ceremony they rode off in the horse drawn carriage.

The reception was beautifully decorated for fall. I really liked the centerpieces and the burlap:


Congratulations Cathy and Rob! You make a beautiful couple and we were so blessed to have joined you on your special day! 

The next wedding we went to was for Erica and Terrance. This wedding took place at the Cotton Room in Durham. When we walked into the ceremony there was a live band playing and singing. There was also a saxophone player, which I thoroughly enjoyed! Here is Jeff with some of his coworkers:  

I couldn't take any pictures during the ceremony, but it was a beautiful one! After the ceremony we got to hang out for cocktail hour. There was a huge candy bar that we got to get treats from. The candy was quite delicious and I had eaten all of mine the next day!



The first dance and Erica's beautiful dress:

There was also a photo booth with props! After the cocktail hour we had the reception. For the dinner we had Philly cheese steaks, chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, shrimp and cocktail sauce, and salad. What a meal. After the food came some party time. This was Jeff and more of his coworkers during the reception:

I love getting to share such special moments with good friends!

    What a lovely surprise! And today is our first official month being married and I officially started the name change game today - now have official proof that I'm Cathy Paisley! Can't wait to show Rob this - loved that you guys were there to share the day with us! And yes, Erica's wedding was a fantasy dream come true - so beautiful! And my candy didn't even survive the car ride home!

Bunny

About a year ago I got a bunny as my classroom pet. I have wanted a Netherland Dwarf bunny for quite some time because of their cute ears and they stay small. Small bunny = perfect for classoom life. So after the beloved Max (my old guinea pig) left us, I knew now was the time to get a bunny! Thank goodness my sister Anna looks on Craigs List all the time for animals because she actually found a Netherland Dwarf Bunny that was up for adoption! YAY! I got her a couple of days after I found the post and was so excited. The kids decided to name her Maddi after a character in the book Fever 1793 . If you like historical fiction books,  you should check it out because it's really good! Little did I know that bunnies are full of personality! On her first day home she bit me 3 times and got me 2 times with her nails. Good thing is now she likes me (most of the time) and is much more friendly! She lets the kids in the class pet her and feed her. She also hops around the classroom....

21 Weeks Update

I've been really bad about keeping up with these pregnancy pictures...life just gets so crazy sometimes! We had some exciting things happen this week as you can see in the picture. 1- It's a girl! I was completely convinced that we were having a boy. I had boy dreams, no morning sickness, and Jeff comes from a family of 2 brothers and 2 nephews. Needless to say, I was completely shocked! Don't get me wrong, I  am very excited to have a baby girl, just very shocked! 2- I'm halfway through my pregnancy. This is crazy! Time has really been flying! I have a friend at work who is also pregnant and is one day behind me. She brought me a bagel one morning to celebrate our 1/2 way point. This was so needed because I completely forgot to eat breakfast that morning! Thanks Melissa! 3- I play french horn for my church orchestra. My belly is now starting to get in the way of my bell, pushing it out of the way! Our little girl likes to dance a lot when I play. It is...

State Fair

We took our annual State Fair trip. We went on a Friday that I was tracked-out and Jeff took the day off. I was super excited to go because it was Naomi's first time at the fair!  From the moment we walked onto the fairgrounds Naomi couldn't stop staring at all of the people! I had to get a picture of her with the HUGE pumpkin. Of course she was more enthralled with the eggplant... Then we went to look at the animals. She had a better view from on top of Jeff's shoulders: My favorite picture of the day: We went into the bunny building because we obviously love bunnies. They had a Lionhead bunny out that we could pet. As soon as I put Naomi down she started to reach for the bunny. The bunny let Naomi pet her for quite a long time! Naomi laughed, smiled, and giggled the whole time. We could have stayed in there for hours and she'd be entertained! I wish we could have gotten it on video!  Next we stopped for the delicious corn and ...
