I now pernounce you man and wife!!!!!!

For all who do not know yet Oct 4th, 2008 Kevin and I were married! I wish we could have waited and had everyone there but because of medical reasons we were forced to do ASAP. We went down to our community center here in Longview and was married buy the sweet old judge, he had a cute poem about marriage he recited and then we had a prayer and we exchanged vows. It definitely was not the way i was wanting to go but it turned out a lot better than we expected it too. We choose to do it casual since we still intend to have our scheduled wedding on Feb 21st, 2009. Here are a few pictures that we had our friends take during the ceremony. Sorry we could not have waited for all of u!! stupid me forgot my sunglasses on my head owe well LOL!!!!

Hurricane Ike

JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS WE ARE OK! THANKFULLY WHEN THE STORM CAME INTO OUR AREA IT WAS A SMALL CATEGORY 1 AND WITH IN MINUITES WAS DOWN GRATED TO A TROPICAL STORM SO EVEN THOUGH WE SAW LOTS OF RAIN AND WIND EVERYTHING ON OUR END WAS FINE. THANKFULLY WE NEVER LOST OUR POWER JUST TWO BLOCKS DOWN FROM US WAS OUT TILL TUESDAY AS WELL AS LOTS OF OTHER AREAS AROUND TOWN. WE HAD LOTS OF DEBREE FROM OUR TREES IN THE BACK YARD BUT IT WAS NO BIG DEAL JUST A BUNCH OF TREE LIMBS. I WAS HOPING TO TAKE SOME PICTURE BUT AS WE WERE HEADED TO OUR FRIENDS PLACE DURING THE SORM TO HELP THEM KEVIN INFORMS ME THAT HE FORGOT TO GRAB THE CAMERA THAT I ASKED HIM TO DO SO I DIDNT GET ANY PICTURES BUT I FOUND THIS ONE THAT SHOWS AN IDEA OF WHAT WE WERE SEEING DURING ALL THIS.

I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING REALLY EXCITING OR NEW BUT, I HAVE JUST RECENTLY STARTED BABYSITTING A 3YR OLD BOY NAMED NICOLAS. I AM WATCHING HIM ON THURSDAYS AND FRIDAYS FOR A FEW HOURS. IT'S KIND OF NICE BECAUSE JAYDEN HAS A NEITHER BOY ABOUT HIS AGE TO PLAY WITH SO HE IS NO LONGER BORED. WE JUST BOUGHT A LITTLE POOL TODAY TO GO IN OUR BACK YARD. AS SOON AS I FILLED IT UP I WANTED TO JUST JUMP IN SINCE IT WAS SO DANG HOT OUT SIDE I WAS SWEATING BULLETS. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO AFTER A MONTH OF TRYING GOT MY SCHOOL TO GET ALL MY PAPER WORK DONE SO I CAN TURN IT INTO STATE BOARDS NOW FOR MY TEST DATE SO HOPEFULLY WITH IN THE NEXT MONTH I WILL HAVE MY DATE AND WILL TRULY BE ABLE TO SAY I AN DONE.

California

This is me on the beach in california while the sun was setting. i love this picture i think it is so cool looking!

Dunes

Isnt she so sweet looking while she is asleep. It's a niether story when she's not!

Jayden and Kevin after a hard day !

Look how boring I am!

Jayden passed out while shopping with Erin and I. He keept wanting to go home but as you can see gave up and went to sleep instead.

After party pictures

Here are some more pictures at cleaning time. i normally dont like myself in pictures but i think these turned out pretty good.

The atempted pose's of the Garvin boy's

These pictures crack me up. This was after everyone was pretty much gone from the wedding and there were only a select few left cleaning. So we decided to start taking pictures as you can see there was complications in the first two but after that we had it down. As you can see the Garvin boys seem to have great difficulty posing for a picture.

TAGGED

I have been tagged by my sister Dana, which I just want to say thank you too for this wonderful opportunity (not).

1. I as well as Dana love crime shows and murder cases. I find them fascinating to watch. I love trying to solve the mystery of the case before its revealed. dorky yes I know but I think its fun my favorites are CSI, Cold Case, Unsolved Mysteries.

2. Since I have moved out on my own I have become quite the clean freak it doesn't help that Kevin is the same way. I cant function in the mornings unless my dishes are done and my counters are completely wiped down. Now that I am home during the day I have time to make my bed but when I was not I could not go to bed at night unless I made my bed before getting in it. I never was this way when I lived at home.

3. I love to dance, unfortunitly Kevin has the white boy syndrome of being born with apsolutly no rythem so when we do go out and dance he is usually just watching me dance with our friends. I would go out every weekend if I could.

4. I was never a cat person until we took in two very malnutrishioned kittens from a looser neabor who had told us she didn't want them and was going to drowned them so instead we took them they were very small and skinny from not being fed. Now they are fat healthy cats with very differant attitudes. Unfortunitly Kevins cat Charcoal 2 weeks Ago went wondering and got lost and we have not been able to find hom since. Socks my cat is still around and just as much as a baby as he ever is maybe a little more now that Charcoal is gone but I would not give him up for anything.

5. I LOVE hot foods, mexican or what ever it may be I cant resist. The hotter the better. My all time favorit is to go to wings express its a whole in the wall that serves the best wings in the whole world. We use to go at least once a week because they are also very cheap but now we live too far and I have been craving them sooooo much. The next time I am in town I will have to stop by. I also because we love them so much have tempted to make my own several times with differant sauce's. One batch I made Kevin and I could hardly eat we were crying because they were so hot. ( hot going in and out) literally.

Also in Cali a year ago. I wanted to write in the sand but also just to be a dork and original had too also add my own little touch to it as a joke for Kevin when I got home. This was actually my first time ever seeing the ocean and being on a beach. I loved it and want to go back soon.

In California a year ago when Mom, Dad, and I went for Becca Hansons wedding. this was just one of the few gardens that we toured through.

Kevin and Jon (brother)

this was taken at least 5 years ago but I think it is a cute picture of the two.

Blonds do have more fun!

THIS IS MY NEW HAIR STYLE. IT TOOK A LOT OF BLEACHING AND A LOT OF TIME 8 HOUR TO BE EXACT. I LOVE IT THOUGH AND I HAVE HAD A LOT OF COMPLIMENTS ON IT. I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT I WOULD BE BLOND. THE CLOSEST I HAVE EVER BEEN WAS A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF HIGHLIGHTS AND EVEN THEN I NEVER KEPT THEM FOR A LONG TIME.

THIS WAS ME AND KEVIN ON THE JUNGLE RAFT! ARE FEET WERE SO TIRED THAT WE ALL JUMPED ON FOR A REST. THIS OTHER PICTURE IS US COMING OF OF THE WHITE WATER RAPIDS RIDE AFTER 4 TIMES IN A ROW ALL THREE OF US WERE SOAKED SO BAD THERE WAS NO DRY SPOTS ON US. OF COURSE ANDY NO MATTER WERE HE SAT JUST GOT SPRINKLED ON SO HE IS TAKING THE PICTURE. WE FROZE THE REST OF THE NIGHT.

THIS IS OUR FIRST DAY AT DISNEYLAND WE ARE JUST WAITING TO GET IN LINE FOR OPENING. I WAS JUST BEING STUPID AND WAS NOT EXPECTING KEVIN TO TAKE A PICTURE BUT IT'S FUNNY. WE HAD SO MUCH FUN LAST WEEK I WOULD LOVE TO GO BACK.

THIS IS MY BEAUTIFUL NEW HOUSE AND THE GRASS COURTYARD NEXT TO IT. WE HAVE NO GRASS IN OUR BACK YARD YET BUT WE WILL SOON SINCE IT IS WARMING UP NOW. WE ALL LOVE IT HERE THE DRIVE IS A BIT LONGER BUT WE DONT MIND IT. I HAVE A BRAND NEW WALMART JUST A FEW BLOCKS FROM MY HOUSE . THE PEOPLE HERE ARE SO FRIENDLY AND POLITE IT'S AMAZING THE DIFFERNT ATTITUDES YOU COME ACROSS WHEN YOU MOVE OUT 29 MILES INTO THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE. WE ALSO LOVE IT BECAUSE IT IS SO QUIET AND THERE IS HARDLY ANY ONE AROUND.

THE GROUP WE WENT WITH TO LAS VEGAS. DON'T WE ALL LOOK BRIGHT AND CHIPPER AFTER BEING UP ALL NIGHT AND ONLY HAVING 3 HOURS OF SLEEP. ON OUR WAY TO BREAKFAST TO GET READY FOR OUR LONG DRIVE BACK HOME.

ME AND KEVIN 4 WEEKS AGO IN LAS VEGAS WAITING FOR THE VALET TO BRING US OUR CAR AT THE HOTEL MANDALAY BAY WHERE WE AND A FEW FRIENDS STAYED FOR THE WEEKEND JUST HAVING FUN.

JAYDEN WASN'T TO SURE ABOUT
BEING UP IN THE TREE BUT,
HE WAS SURE HAPPY WHEN IT WAS
ALL OVER WITH.

SAY CHEESE!!!

ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO I TOOK THE KIDS DOWN TO VALVISTA LAKES TO GET SOME PICTURES AND THIS IS WHAT CAME OUT! I THINK THEY CAME OUT REALLY CUTE. MADISON WAS POSING THE ENTIRE TIME LIKE SHE WAS A SUPER MODEL ON A PHOTO SHUT.
