My first attempt at a slide show

Well, I think this slide show turned out pretty good, minus the pictures that I thought I had turned the right way and ended up sideways. I found out that once you add them to the slide, there is no rotating them there, so next time we will have to remember this. This is when we spent the summer in Omaha Nebraska. Michael went off to sell satellite systems and I worked at the apartment complex we lived in pulling weeds, and keeping the beds looking nice. All the while in awe at how lazy some people are, and how cheap people can be when it comes to landscaping. I also worked at Aeropostale in the mall, and transferred to the one here when we came back. We had a lot of fun in Nebraska and learned a lot. And no, we didn't make millions, felt more like we lost millions, but that's okay, we went where we felt we needed to be and met a lot of great people. Some of which you can see in the slide show. The Zoo we were told was one of the biggest ones in the U.S. It was a fun day. We spent the 4th of July there. Our favorite animals were the penguins and the gorillas.

Blogging and other noteworthy news

I had no idea how long it took to add pictures to the blog. I still have a lot too do and lots more pictures to add, but they will have to wait for another day. As for other news, I had another Dr. Appointment and things seem to be back on schedule I am no longer measuring ahead of my due date which is a relief to me. Everything is going great and I will know the results of the Group B Strep Test at my appointment next week. Mike is still traveling to school 3 days a week to ISU, and doing well in his classes this semester. We got gym memberships for Christmas, and he has been finding out just how out of shape he has gotten. It's been fun to get out and exercise. I don't don't much, just run on the elliptical for about a 1/2 hour is all I can handle at the moment, but hopefully after the baby is born (28 days to my due date!) and I have recovered, I can start training again. I want to run a 1/2 marathon this year. Anyone know of any good ones in Idaho? Anyway, hope everyone has a great day!

The Wedding Pics.... Finally

Just hitched I think!
Starr and Erin's Foreign exchange student had never decorated a car for a wedding before. You would get beat up in Taiwan if you tried too he said. But he had a lot of fun. He wrote in his native language. It said something like Goodbye to the single life!
The grand kids! (Dad has one almost like this with Raquel from my wedding) I will have to find it.
Taylor looking so innocent!
Morgan has had enough!
The cake my mom made and Renae & Chrissy Decorated. Its really not crooked, just the photographer is.
Decorating the car, before it got dark
My favorite pose!
Our Family. Can you tell I am 4 months pregnant!
There they go!
The Happy Couple
Still waiting
Waiting for the Bride and Groom

Kinda cool how the two pics almost fit together perfectly. They were taken in a diff. order too.

So here are some pics that Mike took of Ira & Brandi's wedding. The reception pictures I took, so of course they aren't as good. As you can see, the date is on every picture. If you know how to get the date off the camera so they don't show up when I print them, please let me know so I can take the setting off. Enjoy!

So I was prepared last Friday to get all the pictures downloaded when I dropped the stack and they fell out of the covers and went splat in the mud. I tried cleaning them off, but with all the sand and rocks in our parking lot, I ruined the cds. Sad day for all. I am in the process of getting them back on cds again. Sorry for the delay, I really was trying!
