It's June and so much has happened this year already. I moved to North Platte, I turned 21, I watched my baby sister turn 16 and start driving. Shane's brother graduated from high school. My friend, Sarena, is days away from delivering a little girl, Brooke Allyn. We've had some close calls in our family, but everyone seems to be doing well now. The weather has been crazier than I ever remember: no snow, too much snow, rain, tornado after tornado - wonder how the rest of the summer is going to be.
This month the best thing so far in my life happened. On June 10th Shane and I got married. It was a small ceremony at the Kearney county courthouse in Minden. Just family was there. It went smoothly and it was very nice. My Dad organized a small reception across the street at the Minden Coffee House. There was cake and delicious punch. He got flowers and everything! My Aunt brought a doily that was crocheted by my Great Grandma Poague (I never got to meet her.) She had it her wedding and both Aunt Becky and Aunt Phylliss had it at their weddings. It meant a lot to have that there. After the reception Shane's family and mine went to Kearney and had dinner at Whiskey Creek. Then Shane and I headed home.
When 2008 first started I knew it was going to be a big year for my family. But I didn't realize that so many things were going to happen outside of my family as well! This year is turning out to be one of my favorites.
In October we're still having a reception so I hope everyone can make it then!
Shane and I are going to see The Incredible Hulk tonight; his brother Ben might come with. Tomorrow night I think we're going to go see The Happening.
I started refinishing a dresser that used to be Shane's. It was painted white a long time ago and the paint looked terrible! So I stripped the paint and Shane sanded it. Yesterday I stained the frame and it looks great. Now I just need to do the drawers. I bought new drawer-pulls for it too, I hope it looks like I imagined when it's done!
