Busy Summer

First I must start by telling you about Ryan's poor finger! He got bit by who knows what! And its infected and its just awful. He is in a lot of pain and its swollen like I have never seen before! It is starting to show some improvement but please pray for the poor guy that his finger will soon be healed!

In other news there has been tons of work going on around here. We planted flower beds out front. I'm not sure why the picture below is turned but you get the idea. We have also retiled our half bath, fixed a few clogged drains, cut down lots of branches (picture below) and the list goes on. This weekend hopefully we will get the outside painted. We have started on the trim and its a huge improvement already!


I have also found time to make a cute little door decoration!


Also my mom celebrated her birthday so we took her to The Elephant Bar! It was very delightful!

Abby & I enjoyed the animals!

And I think my mom enjoyed her birthday card & present! A newly ordered iPhone is on its way! This is the drawing my sister put in the card!
I guess thats all for now! I'm hoping I will be getting some calls for interviews soon! But I'm just praying for God's will and I know he will work it all out!

To everything there is a season,a time for every purpose under the sun.A time to be born and a time to die;a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted;a time to kill and a time to heal ...a time to weep and a time to laugh;a time to mourn and a time to dance ...a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;a time to lose and a time to seek;a time to rend and a time to sew;a time to keep silent and a time to speak;a time to love and a time to hate;a time for war and a time for peace.
ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Fun in July!

Of course we celebrated the fourth of July with fireworks,

One full month!

May is one busy month! I know I have posted a little bit about whats been going on, but here are some more of the things we have been up to!

We celebrated Mother's Day at PF Changs! Yum! Of course we had dessert and it was delicious!

My brother graduated from High School & celebrated his 19th birthday! Here is an attempt at a family pic! These things don't usually turn out well. Its too hard to get everyone looking the same direction at the same time! Ha






We took another set of engagment pictures (because they were free)!

And had a Hatch family reunion at Grand Lake! Fun times!

We visited Har-ber Village while we were there

and spent lots of time fishing and relaxing!

Thats just some of the things we have been up to! Now its more wedding planning & organing our house! Until next time...Adios!

Last Day of School :(

Today was the last day of school. It was a great fun filled day that ended with a party! The kids were so excited for the party all day and little did I know that they were gonna surprise me with tons of gifts! I got a giant bag of school supplies for my own classroom and gift cards to all kinds of stores & restaurants! They are too sweet! It was definitely bittersweet and I will miss each one of them! Good luck in third grade friends!

Here we are yesterday at our field trip to the park! We spent the whole day outside! It was hot and tiring but tons of fun!

Not only will I miss the kids but the wonderful people I worked with as well! I met some of the most amazing teachers as this school! My cooperating teacher is the one on the right!

Goodbye Sangre Ridge Runners!

Unforgettable!

May started out GREAT! I had my first Bridal Shower. Which was totally fun! Here are some pictures of our Toilet Paper Bride contest! It was way fun!
If my real dress doesn't work out, I always have this one!
The next day was GRADUATION!! Yay! It's official! I have a Bachelors Degree! WOW! I can't believe college is over, but I am definitely ready to move on! It was such a great day! My family came to town and Ryan's family came too! Which was totally sweet of them! After graduation we had a lunch at my house! And presents & cake of course too! Ha! Then we all headed back to Owasso! Here are a few pics of the big day! I was so blessed!

Of course Rylee had to graduate too!

Sunday we had another Wedding Shower! It was completely overwhelming! The gifts were wonderful and we are so blessed to have such a generous church family. They blessed us beyond measure! Thanks everyone!

Here is a picture of us with our cute & yummy cake

(according to everyone else...I didn't have any)

As you can see the weekend was BUSY! By the end of it I was completely worn out and when we finally made it back to Stilly on Sunday evening I crashed! But life hasn't slowed down any since! This month is totally full of events! More to come on what else has been going on!

FOREVER!

Wow! It has definitely been a while since I have written! And a lot of things have happened since then! Here are some of the things that have been going on:

Ryan & I took a trip with the family over Spring Break to COLORADO! The mountains were breathtaking as usual and it was quality family time!

I also met my cousin's baby for the first time! I fell in love immediately! So stinking adorable!

We also had lots of fun with my cousins who we don't get to see much of anymore! Of course this is the "kid picture!"

The family on Easter! I love the holiday and that I get to spend fun time with my family!

Cassie had a recital, which she did amazing at! A lot of her family was able to come!! My sweet future sister-in-law and father-in-law!

GIRLS NIGHT! Two of my future sister-in-laws and I got together to cook pizza, watch movies, and enjoy each other's company! Love it!

I also attended Joyce's sweet baby shower! She is so cute and I can't wait to meet her sweet little boy!

Of course I can't forget about my twenty five second graders that I adore either! I have been busy teaching them and getting ready to graduate! Looking for a job in the real world is tough!

However I graduate in 9 days and get married in 44!!

I am so excited about the month of May it is full of showers, graduations, teaching, family time, lakes, pictures, planning, moving, house projects and so much more! It is going to be the busiest month of my life, but also one of the most exciting!

Then of course it will be June & WEDDING TIME!! Ryan & I can't wait!
