New York City

At the beginning of August we attended a wedding in Bay Shore, Long Island, New York. We decided to make a little mini vacation out of it and went up early to visit NYC. Both of us have been before, but never together. Daniel was such a trooper! Followed me around to different stores and let me shop :) I came back with great things thats for sure! The wedding was fantastic. A Fancy NY wedding for sure. The only short coming in our adventure was the 10 hour airport stay on the way home. If any of you know me well, you also know how much I HATE flying. I'm scared to death and very anxious! Our flight was delayed a couple hours but nothing major, we finally got on the plane and had an hour long taxi out to the runway. Everything was great until the started up the engines to take off and the left engine was not working right. As you can imagine, I freaked out. They taxied us back to the gate where we sat on the plane for an hour while they tried to fix it (I was hoping that we were going to spend the night and not try and fly that messed up plane). We were told to get off the plane and stay close because they were going to have it fixed and we'd be on our way - yeah in about 2 hours that happened. We finally made it home at 1:30am instead of our 6:00pm orginal time. What a way to end the vacation, but a lot of fun was had so it made it all worth while. We also received flight vouchers for our troubles! Hmmmmmmmmmm...where to go next? SAN FRANCISCO is my VOTE!

Here are a few pictures from our long weekend:

The Wards 2009

Greensboro = Ladies Weekend

So last weekend was a total girls weekend. Saturday afternoon I attended a baby shower for Christi Hughes (Daniel's College Roommate's Wife). You couldn't imagine all the estrogen in that room. All the ohhhhh and ahhhhh's. Connor got a ton of great things and whats even better is that Connor was born yesterday August 20, 2009. Three weeks early and almost 9lbs. WOW! We've seen pictures and what a cutie. We hope to see him over the weekend when they have time. I'm sure its crazy with family and a new-born.

After the baby shower I headed straight to Greensboro for a Carrie's Law School Graduation Party. All the hubby's decided to stay home so us ladies had a girls night. We ended up going out after the party and had such a good time. We haven't all been together since New Years! I'm looking forward to October when we all get together again for WCU Homecoming. We rented an amazing cabin and will be there all weekend.

This weekend is fast approaching and I'm looking forward to a quiet weekend at home. I'm doing makeup for a wedding on Saturday and then have the rest of the weekend to do nothing. These days those weekends are far and few between. The next couple months are busy so we'll use this weekend to refuel.

PS...Matthew and Jenny (Daniel's Brother and his Wife) find out what they are having today. 6 to 4 its a Girl! We shall see!

TEASE Please

Just a few pics of whats been going on these last few months. Not nearly enough, but will be sure to get caught up ASAP. We are enjoying a summer filled with beach trips, weddings, hanging out, and looking forward to FALL! My NEW side business - Make Up and Hair Design. Check out the blog: www.cheekyfabulous.blogspot.com. I think I missed my calling.

Yep! We got a new member to our family. Just one though. He's the one on the bottom and his name is Texas Pete!

Nope thats not our baby! As if you even thought that to begin with! It's Brooke and Matt's baby girl, Chloe! We can't wait to see her soon :)



NYC 2009 - My new home, no not really, but I'd love to live there!

So, its been sometime since I've posed on our blog. We can just chalk it up to pure laziness right now. Stay tuned form some rocking good pictures to catch everyone up on what we've been doing.
