Cincinnatti Zoo

As you can tell I had a blast in Ohio! Ohio is such a pretty state! I really didn't want to leave but I had things to take care of at home. I loved the Zoo although it was smelly. I had to hold my nose because the poo smell was really strong but I had fun with my cousin Tara and my uncle Jimmy. We had this soft serve ice cream and it was yummy! It was so hot and worth it. We went on the train and it was a waste. It really didn't take us to anything exciting. For lunch we had pizza. I forget what the name of it was called but it was good!
This lion was so funny. It looks like he is sleeping with his butt in the air. He was sleeping before people started coming. Its amazing how they sleep.
I took this pic because I thought it was interesting. If I see something interesting I take a picture of it. The Manatee Area was cool. I couldn't take pictures in there because it said no flash photos.
This Rhino was really cool. This part really stunk the worst but I was just to bear with it.
This is the polar bear's home as you can say. I love polar bears. I think they are so cute!
You can barely see him but this polar bear is under water. He was moving so fast that I couldn't get a good picture of him.

I love penguins! This part was one of my favorites!
This is a purple bird. I love the colors on this bird. Purple is my favorite color.

The monkey's were so cool! They were hollering at each other and playing with each other. It was so cute and it reminded me of my siblings and I and how sometimes we fight and like to play games with each other.

I'm weird I know but I thought it was cool and I was bored.

The giraffe's were cool to! I love how tall they are.

The elephants were cool to. Stinky but it was great seeing all these animals. At the end of the time we were there my hip started hurting. My uncle said that I have 20 year old itis.

Bridal and Formal Inc,

When I was in Ohio my cousin Tara took me to this bridal shop to try on dresses. I was also looking at bridesmaids dresses and I love this style the best but I know my bridesmaids probably don't want the same design.
This is also one of my favorites! I love everything about it! My bridesmaids wanted short dresses.
This one is cute to!
I also like this one to. Its a dark purple but I love it!
This is the dress that I like but I'm going to find a dress that looks like this except I want short sleeves with it. I'm going to try to find something $500-lower. This dress was $589.
I love how it looks on me though. It made me feel sexy.
My cousin Tara and I took my aunt Deana to see me in the dress and she loved how I looked in it.


This is the 2nd dress I tried on. Wasn't to crazy about it.

This is Terri. She was so nice and so helpful.

Cookout At Tara's.

Today in the Nursery!

Today my Aunt Margie asked me to help her in the Nursery. I had fun and time went by really fast! This was new to me because I helped in the Nursery at my old church and I didn't really know the kids but they were so sweet to me and loved playing!
This is the kitchen. The kids were playing and making things. They were all having fun!
Natalie was really wild and having a blast! Her mom was in there with us and it made things easier.
My friend Sammy helping me in the Nursery. The kids love her!
Lily having a blast. I helped her in the bathroom. She wears pull ups and she said she had to go potty but she didn't go because she said she went to the bathroom at her grandparent's house but I changed her pull ups and helped her wash her hands. She is a sweet girl!
JoAnne and my Aunt Margie. Poor JoAnne was crying because she said she was hot so we went and got her mom and her mom said that when she says she's hot she is actually cold. She says the opposite but her mom went and took her in the congregation. Joanne is a cute little girl.

My new haircut/ just got up in the morning

I just got done talking to Ben and I just woke up to because as you can tell my hair is messed up. Everytime I get up, my hair is so messy. I thinks that because I roll around in my sleep. Anyways, I had a good conversation with my man! I always enjoy talking to him whether on the phone or on Skype. Just seeing his face and hearing his voice makes me feel safe and I feel like he's here with me. I look forward to seeing him again!
I got my hair cut again. I wanted to do it because it was getting long. After the summer is over I will grow my hair out because I want to grow my hair out for the wedding and have my hair look nice for Ben on our wedding day! I love life and I like my new haircut. I'm so blessed! God is good!

Happy Travels

We took a trip to Istanbul, Turkey and for some reason my blog won't let me upload some pics that I took in Turkey. If you want to see the pics just go to my facebook page.

Happy June/ Old pics

I found these pics and thought that I would upload these on here. This is Ben's hat that he gave me when he was shipping out to Basic Training. I do wear it from time to time because its good memories and I love wearing it!
My handsome man sent me this pic of him after he got back from PT in Tech School. I just thought it was cute and he looks so handsome and tired but he works hard at everything he does!
Me and my beloved at the Science and Space Museum in Washington D.C. Good times! We are so cute!

Oh my goodness I can't believe that its almost summer. Its so hot outside! Getting ready to go see my aunt Deana and my uncle Jimmy and my cousins in Cincinnati, OH. I look forward to seeing them all. I miss them all so much. I will take pics soon of my trip. I leave next Friday and come back on the 18th. I'm so excited! Anyways so much stuff has been happening. I got my hair cut again because its so hot outside and I don't like to keep on putting my hair up but I promise after the summer is gone for the year I will grow it out again because Ben likes my hair long and I want my hair to be long for the wedding so that I can have it put up and look nice. I will put pics up as soon as I get a Multimedia update from my email. It takes so long.
