my bling

I'm linking up with CMae of Happiness is for Ring Bling link up!

I loove my rings! 

We had looked at a few rings and I knew I wanted a solitare princess cut.

Chris did perfect.

Here are some shots at our wedding with our wedding bands.

I went back and forth on what to pick for a wedding band. I really liked the way the wraps looked. But..since we plan to do some short term missions I thought it would be better to have a band that I can wear by itself. I also thought I would wear the band by itself at work. (turns out I wear all three of them)

Because of that, I went with an enhancer instead. 

I love it!

{out of focus phone pictures. eek!}

This time of year (cold!) I am wishing they were soldered because they separate and slide around all over! 

{hand wrinkles are just not cute to photograph!}

Where do I keep my rings at night? On my finger!

I never take them off. Ever.

Unless my hands are getting into something dirty that might mess them up. But I know if I take them off, I will lose them. So I avoid taking them off at all. :)

Want to read about our engagement?

sister got married!

I'm only..uhh..a month and a half late, but my middle sister got MARRIED last month!! 

They got hitched on 11-11-11. I bet they'll never forget their anniversary!

It was a small ceremony at the courthouse, and perfect for them. My sister, Katy, looked beautiful and I am glad to have a new brother-in-law! :)

After the ceremony, we ate a nice dinner at a little cafe near the courthouse.

So so so happy for them! :) ...just wished they lived closer to us now..

Mr. & Mrs. Scott Keeley

Chris' sister (my sister in law, SIL) got married this weekend!!

She is now Becky Keeley, or Mrs. Scott Keeley. I was honored for Becky to ask me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. The ceremony was beautiful and Becky was a gorgeous bride!

Chris' mom was taken to the ER on Thursday night with stroke-like symptoms. She had to be admitted and was still in the hospital whe

n we came in on Friday morning. Sadly, she had to miss the rehearsal dinner on Friday night. But the doctors finally let her out on Saturday morning in time to get ready with the rest of the girls! They didn't figure out what was causing the symptoms. They did some blood work that will take about a week to get back, so maybe they'll have some answers when those results are in. I'm so glad that she was able to be a part of the Saturday festivities and I know she was too!!

When we got in on Friday, we spent some time at the hospital with Chris' parents. Then Chris spent a few hours playing paintball with the guys and I got to spend time with and love on my nephews.

Here is Kaden playing at McDonalds.

And Kai...doing what he did best while I hung with them. Eating! He is 13months and stinkin cute!

On Saturday it was an abnormally slow paced day. It was a great change for how most wedding days are that I've been a part of usually are.

Here are some wedding pictures from my dad's camera.

Me and Eric, the groom's brother.

The Keeley family.Becky and Jenn at the reception.Me and my wonderful husband :D He got to be an usher.

He's so great.
Oh I love this boy! Kaden is 3 yrs old and such a hoot. He was in a smily, happy mood almost the entire time we were around him this weekend. Age 3-6 are my favorite ages in kids! He denied he had any punch to drink, but his red mustache makes me think he was lying. ;)

These are our silly faces.

Here is the sign I made them.
