How I've Missed You...

Cape Lookout, Oregon

See you in 2 days!

Magical Muggles

Kind of on the spot, my sister Sherstine decided to have a Harry Potter party. So we all dove into my parents costume box and dressed as characters from the movie. Since the 6th movie comes out next week we decided to watch the first five movies in the next four days. I put lots of pictures on the slideshow below, but some of these you just needed to be able to see up close. (p.s. I am aware that I look hideous.)

The gang: Dumbledore, Uncle Vernon, Draco , Ron, Harry, Hagrid, Hermione, Trelawny, Snape, and Hedwig

Best buds.

Sweet shot of Harry showing us his moves.

Big Momma's HOUSE!

Big momma is right! I am getting bigger by the day. Sleeping is becoming less and less comfortable, but so far I have been managing the heat ok. I am 27 weeks along and we are so ready to meet this little girl who kicks me all day long.
Also, Johnny and I bought a house! We will be closing on the 19th of August, and moving in that weekend if all goes well. We are so excited! We are feeling more and more like grown-ups these days. The best thing is we will be all moved in before Lucy comes home. Click here to see more pictures of the place we will soon call home!

Three Years!!!

Today is our three year anniversary! I came home to 2 surprises. First of all these beauties pictured above. And also Johnny told me that I wasn't going to work on Friday! He had worked it out with my boss and everything. We knew we wouldn't be celebrating today, we are celebrating all weekend instead! I have no idea what we'll be doing, but I can't wait. Johnny is always awesome at planning rad stuff!

Here's a look back at our special day three years ago!

Not the best of us, but dang look at my dress!

The girls, all of which are married now. Oh, except Heidelberg.

The delicious luncheon!

We love this picture of us after feeding eachother the cake. It's priceless!

It has been an amazing three years. We've been through alot and learned alot about eachother. I picked the best guy to spend forever with. Love you mister!

What do you think?

The chop with hi-lights won out. I'm a sucker for a blonde summer. I love it! (p.s. If you need your hair done my sister does cut and color for $45. WAY cheaper than anywhere else! Let me know!)

Memorial Day

We had a great Memorial holiday. Monday morning we rode our bikes with my family down to Ann Morrison park where we played in the fountain, on the playground and in the river. We barbecued at mom and dad's and then in the evening we went to Uncle Wayne's for volleyball, zip line, and a plethora of ice cream varieties. It was great fun!

Sisters,sisters, there were never such devoted sisters!

Check out these blasts from the past! I just had to put these up for fun. Look at us, the three amigos. One question, why is my hair twice the size of my head in both of these?!! Must have been a perm gone wrong. Sherstine has an amazing mullet, and Erika just has dang cute curls that we all wish we had now.
Oh, man, the denim takeover of the eighties. Yikes! (Sherstine, are those permed bangs? You are the bang master!)

I cant' leave Heidi out of this sisters tribute. She hates pictures of her short hair back in the day, but I think she was so stinkin' cute!!
To my sisters: The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck
