One of my favorite gifts...a "Love is patient. Love is kind" sign

to hang in our house to remind us to be good to each other.
My Aunt gave me my Great Grandmother's rolling pin. Such a sweet gift.
I'm very excited about this gift...can you tell?

My favorite part of the day was at the beginning when my cousin had the guests give me a wedding wish...in this picture I'm listening to my mom's wish.

Some of my favorite wishes were:

1- Babies! That was a popular one.

2- Lots of laughter and friendship

3- That we remember to enjoy each stage of our marriage.

4- That Mike will help me with the laundry when I have lots of babies. LOL Sarah!

5- That I will have the same relationship with Mike that my parent's have now.

I'm so incredibly blessed and fortunate to have such wonderful friends and family. I'm just a lucky girl.

A beautiful Oregon day

You will never hear me complain about the rain because once it stops raining here....this is how beautiful and green it is.

I love Oregon.
