PUMPKIN PATCH!

We went to the pumpkin patch this past weekend with our good friends Jess, Josh, Jenn, Russ and baby Ava! We had so much fun searching for the perfect pumpkins. I even found a perfect white one that Mike let me get! We also treated ourselves to fresh apple cider and apples from the farm. We can't wait to go back again next year!

One Year!

Yesterday was our one year anniversary! It's amazing how fast time flies! We spent the weekend celebrating the wedding of our good frind Nick "Beav" and Fran. They had such an amazing wedding, every event was so much fun! We had both of our nieces there too, which made it that much more fun!

On Monday our actual anniversary, my parents had us and Mike's parents over for dinner and wedding cake! It was really fun, my Mom had the cake ready to go, with our cake topper, and our wedding invitation framed just like a bridal shower! It was really fun, we were glad we could spend it with our parents. We are so fortunate to both have parents that have amazing marriages that we can look up to, and go to advice when needed.

Some other exciting news...WE ARE HOMEOWNERS! We just bought a townhouse. We get to move in on 9/9, we are so excited. We've been living with Mike's parents for 8 months saving up so we could do this, I don't know how we will ever thank them!

Addison turns 1!

Our niece Addison turned 1 year old on March 26th, and today we had her 1st birthday celebration. It was so much fun! She loved having her first piece of cake, all her friends came, and she got some great presents! Mike and I are so fortunate, we have the two coolest nieces ever!

Sometimes you idealize relationships too much - and end up being let down. You find the most energy and comfort in social situations ... where you shine.

What's Your Personality Type?

Congratulations Nick and Tessa!

We spent the first week of the year down in Scottsdale,AZ to celebrate the wedding of Mike's best friend Nick and his fiancee Tessa. Their wedding was amazing from the the monogrammed dance floor, and perfect flowers I must say that my favorite part was the ceremony. They ended their ceremony with the formal welcome to the army salute, which is a tap on the butt for the bride with a sword. Thanks for including us in your special day,you two are amazing friends and an amazing couple!

Happy New Year!

Happy 2008! We had a great 2007, we are so thankful for our amazing families and wonderful friends. We would not be where we are today if it wasn't for each and everyone one of you. We had a great NYE celebration and we are getting ready to Arizona for Nick and Tessa's wedding celebration! 2008 is going to be the best year yet!

Our First Christmas as "The Whitesels"!

This year was our first Christmas as a married couple! We had a great holiday and were able to see both families this year. This was also our niece Addison's Christmas, we had so much fun watching her play with the wrapping paper and playing with all her new toys. Kayla is 8 now, and is more into getting cool clothes now (including a pair of Uggs) than toys. We also got to spend a lot of time with Nick and Tessa. The Saturday before we had a bridal shower for Tessa.
