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.

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

Me and Laura Beth in Istanbul, Turkey.
The airport in London, England just waiting for our flight to Turkey.
How beautiful!
Me and my dad on the way to Chicago.
My dad's first mission trip! At the Louisville Airport.

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.

ME

First of all I want to say Happy Memorial Day! Thank you for all those that fought for our freedom. You guys are heroes! I want to say thank you to my fiancee for serving this great country! I love you so much!

As you can see in this picture I'm just having fun. I have new curtains that are purple (my fave color) and I was just seating and watching Hannah Montana and Tyler Perry's movies because Army Wives my fave show wasn't on because of Memorial Day but it will be back on next Sunday and I can't wait!
I do all sorts of different poses because that's me. I'm very energetic and I like to have fun. I don't like for people to be so unhappy with life so I try to put a smile on there face. Sometimes it works.
ME being silly. I have 2 sides to me.
1. I like to smile and have fun.
2. I'm crazy and like to make funny faces.
My fiancee loves me for the person that I am and I'm so grateful!
Here is my smily side. I just love to smile because there is so much more to life then just sitting around and crying all the time. I miss Ben so much and I try my hardest not to cry but sometimes I let it out but no matter what mood I am in I always try to smile. :)
