I know, I know...

It's been FOREVER since I posted. I figured since I had a little time to spare that I would just post as much as I could!! So here goes............


These are some pics from the honeymoon in Vegas...well these are actually in Arizona! Our day trip to the Grand Canyon....This is how it worked:
We got picked up near our hotel around 6:30 I think. It took us about 2 hours to get to the grand canyon from the strip! And the last 13 or so miles was on a dirt road!! In a bus!
Once we arrived we could do whatever. There were buses there that would take you to 3 different stops at the canyon. 1st stop: SKYWALK!! I don't have pics to post of this because no cameras were allowed. It was spectacular! And a little creepy. We had to put on special booties over our shoes before walking on the glass. Kind of like what a dr would wear during a surgery.
The 2nd stop was where these three pics all came from. They had food here...which was okay. We stayed here the longest. It was the best stop because there was so much to see.
Then we went to our last stop- the indian reservation. It was set up to look like the old days. With a little general store, jail, etc. It was our least favorite stop but still interesting...
See the bottom picture? We walked and walked around the canyon to get to that spot and that's where the picture in the middle was taken. Make sense? From that point the view was amazing! It was the tallest point we could get to.

It was really scary because there were NO barriers at all along the canyon. You could walk as close as you wanted....which wasn't too close for me!
The bad part was it was HOT!! Not humid- just a dry kind of hot. We drank LOTS of water.

And that's it!! We were EXHAUSTED by the time we got back to our hotel....it was around 6:30. A long trip but totally worth it :o) Thanks Lee and Sue! We loved it!!!!

Taaa-Daaa!!

Can you believe I painted this?? Me neither...

I had a BLAST at the paint party...even though I complained about my painting a LOT! Once I got home I loved it! It was super hard for me. ...straight lines and paint do not go hand in hand in my opinion.
I can't wait to try something else!!! Thanks Teresa!

What a week!

Hurricane Ike has caused some major damage. Some of that damage caused our power to go out like everyone else in Huntsville. We woke up at 6 am Saturday with no power and haven't had any since. Ty has a generator in his work truck that we used for our ice box...(it looks funny to type that but that's what I've always called it!) so our food wouldn't spoil. However, he had to go to work Wednesday. So I packed up our freezer goods and came to Jewett. I have been hanging out with my sister for the past couple of days.

I didn't realize how much we depend on ELECTRICITY. No hot water for showers, no television, no lights at night, no microwave, no computer, no anything pretty much. School is closed this week and they are supposed to make a decision on Saturday about next week. I don't think I can go to work with no power and no shower! But we'll see!

I am SO thankful that a tree didn't fall on our house. Some of our neighbors weren't so lucky. I have been thinking "GEEZE! I NEED ELECTRICITY! I NEED A SHOWER! BLAH BLAH BLAH!" And then I think about those people from Galveston who don't even have a house to go home to. Compared to that, no power seems so minor.

I'm praying for them.......please say a prayer for them and everyone else who has been hit by this storm.

Here we go!

1. Even though the wedding is over and done with I am STILL reading wedding magazines. I love reading The Knot because they have real stories of how people met, the proposal and everything....I love it!

2. I am super OCD only when it comes to folding towels. If they have a stripe(ours do)- then all the stripes have to match up. And the washclothes all have be folded and stacked the EXACT same way. Ty thinks I am crazy!

3. I am so addicted to John and Kate plus 8! I haven't had time to watch so I've been recording it. She is a great mother :o) and her kiddos are precious!

4. I always wear my seatbelt....always, always. Unless I am the passenger! I am horrible about remembering to put it on unless I'm driving I guess. I am working on that!

5. I love to buy and collect scrapbook stuff- stickers, paper, stamps....you name it-I have it. However, I hate to use it. I mean, I love scrapbooking but I feel like I am going to run out if I use it. Weird, I know!

6. I can't keep ANY plant alive. Not even a cactus! I water and water...they die. So I don't water for a while....and they still die. I even put miracle grow on some of my green plants and they DIED!

7. I have become super obsessive over what I eat. I haven't had a Dr Pepper in over a month(and I used to drink 4-5 a day!!!) I am drinking lots of water and trying to eat very healthy.......................................because I'M PREGNANT! :o)

**I go to the doctor September 23rd so stay tuned!!!! We are sooooo excited!

Madame Tussauds

This is the first place we went because it was easy to find and by our hotel. It was great! The people really looked real......I mean really real! Does that even make sense?! Anyway, we took pictures of just about everyone but I only posted my favorites and the ones that looked super real. Ty playing basketball.
And golf. He is really getting into this as you can tell!!!
This was at the entrance. I love Cameron Diaz.
She looked so real ....it was kind of weird.

Okay, this picture of me is horrible but I had to show you TIM MCGRAW! He looks so real huh?

After a while you weren't sure what was real and what wasn't. I kept bumping into real people because the statues were everywhere.

At one point in the museum we turned a corner and saw this preacher guy....I don't know who he was supposed to be.....but I thought he was real!! First, I asked Ty "Is he real?" He didn't really respond so then I looked the WAX statue right in the face and said "Are you real?" Ty died laughing.

I forgot.....

I was going to at least tell you about the wedding- even though I don't have pictures to post.

Well.....in one word it was PERFECT!
Ty was SUPER nervous and teary eyed the whole time- he was shaking. I was just shocked that we were finally to that point.....about to say "I DO!" But the preacher got through everything and so did we and then came the kiss.......and let me tell you- Ty laid it on- big time! I almost fell over!!! I loved it.
It was the happiest day and I am so blessed. Ty is a wonderful person and love him so much. I am so happy he is my husband!

**If you look at the pics in order they kinda tell the story. My favorites are the ones in the chapel at night.

We're Back!!!

No, No....we didn't just get back! We have been home since Friday, the 8th. However, I went to work that next Monday and since then have been crazy busy with work and being a newlywed! So........No wedding pics yet but they are online at www.timjharrisphotography.com if you would like to see. It will probably take another year before I post pics of the wedding......since it's taken forever just to do the honeymoon :0) It will take a while to post everything (maybe a few days) from Vegas. There was just so much to see and want to share them all! So stay tuned....
About to board the big ol' plane!! I was super excited since I've never flown before. And it wasn't bad at all- well.....it was a little clustered and I have some space issues but other than that it was great!
Us..........somewhere in Vegas. I love him!
This was my sister's luggage and Ty was such a good sport about carrying the girly zebra print! Amanda needs to get this set- I think it was made for her :o)
