Wow, so this summer had really flown by... and I haven't spent much time on this blog! School's back in session (I've been here for a week now!) and wedding plans are rolling. How awesome and crazy is it that Ryan and I get married in only 64 days!?! :) I'm so excited... and have so much to do!! :) Anyway... here's some pictures for you to enjoy! :)
Two weeks before Jonathan and Kate got married in July, my Mom's side of the family threw a joint bridal shower for Kate and I. Here's some pics from that...
...Here's Kate at her picnic table
...Here's the delicious food that my wonderful family made...
Jenni & Aunt Nancy, Aunt Lori & her girls... hope I didn't leave anyone out!
It was yummy!! :)
...I made Kate a cookbook-scrapbook as a gift...
and it was so much fun to show it to her!
...Ryan's Mom Cindy and his neices Breanna and Kylie
One week in July we took these five teens canoeing... it was a blast!!
...Leslie - Sheryl - Evan - Hannah - Ra'chelle
On July 19, 2009 Ryan and I celebrated our one-year anniversary (of dating!) :) We got dressed up and went to this incredible restaurant downtown Indy, and had THE most amazing cheesecake for desert! It was sooo much fun! :)
On August 8, 2009 Ryan turned 26!! We spent the weekend celebrating despite his sickness (headache, throat, flu symptoms)... but he was doing ok on Saturday, his actual birthday...
Friday night I had Ryan help me pick out the cake of his choice and then we baked it from scratch... he chose Red Velvet... it was so much fun to make!!
That cake took SO much red food coloring!!
I went to two different grocery stores to get enough! Crazy!
Here's the finished product!
Happy Birthday, Ryan!! :)
It was sooo good (and SOO red!!) and moist!! Yum!
Good pick, Ryan!
Saturday Ryan and I went to a Breakfast Prayer Group and then headed to Indy for a district meeting he had to be at. Before we went though, I busted out the Birthday Princess hat and made Ryan wear it to celebrate... I did fix it though as he is obviously not a princess! ;)
He looks so enthused!
Happy Birthday!!!
On our way to Indy we got stopped by a tractor parade!!
It was so funny!! But another great way to celebrate! ;)
For dinner, we went to Olive Garden in Greenwood
and I gave Ryan this gift afterward... it's the Kindle 2.0 from Amazon...
He was SO excited!! You can check it out here...
it's an electronic book that you can load tons of books on,
and it accesses newspapers and magazines.
We went to Barnes and Noble then and hung out for quite some time
while he played with his new Kindle!
And here's my last picture of Ryan and I from the summer... hope you liked the pictures!! :)
