Friday's Letters

Dear Bella,  at 4 months you are getting so big! You love to run around and find each and every one of your toys and bring them back to the couch and ask to be picked up.  Once you have ALL your toys you snuggle up and fall asleep. You are so cute. Dear Sturgis, PEACE OUT.  I am so OVER all these ants in this cottage, the rusty sulfur tasting water and driving slow because of all the amish!  We are on to bigger and better things.  Dear Next City We Are Living In, okay guys, I DO know where we are going but until my husband gets an official offer we don't want to spread the news.  Things CAN still fall through, although we are 95% sure.  We are very excited and it looks like we will have PLENTY of adventures to keep us busy in the new state we will be living in!  Can't wait to share the news!  Dear Husband, Once again, your only contribution to the packing/move was to wrap the tv cords up.  awesome.  

Happy Wedding Day to Will & Kate!
Happy Freakin' Weekend!!!

We still do not know where we are moving.
ugh, ugh & UGH.

Well, here is the next installment of wedding photos! 
Today, the bridal party post wedding.
We broke the law and walked out onto jetty rocks, frolicked in a vineyard and played with mustaches.
Love these pictures and love all these wonderful people that supported us that day.
It was a great feeling to be surrounded by the people that loved us and wanted the best for us.

Here we go!

In Traverse City, going to our first location...

Entire wedding party...all 17 of us.

On the rocks.  This was illegal. Yep.

There was a fair going on, making a perfect backdrop for the boys with their mustaches...

Someone invited us onto their boat!
Wedding party at Chateau Grand Traverse Winery.

Love these..

Silly one!

Me and the guys

Jonathan and the girls

"Okay, now we are going to all run down this hill while smiling and skipping!"

Lovely. 

This one was fun!

More running pictures...and the lone cartwheeler...

This was just so fun, we ran down like 5 times and every time it got sillier and sillier..
Chateau Grand Traverse Winery.

The guys and me!
