Wedding Pictures


Well today's the day! We didn't forget. It was ten years ago today that "Ben and Sam" tied the knot! My Mom wanted a wedding, and I just wanted to get married, so I let her have it! The only part I picked out was my dress because I wanted to be comfortable. My Mama's best friend, (my other mama) Shell, made the dress I wanted. I don't remember much from that day because it flew by so fast, but I remember thinking that I was just going to bust I was so happy. I remember having a lot of fun, even taking pictures, and I remember that we kept whispering to each other during the pictures "This is real...We get to be together for the rest of our lives...We are getting married!" They played the Hallelujah chorus as we left the sanctuary.....that was the only thing that Ben asked for! Rascal! We were a couple of happy kids at  twenty years old, and I'm happy to say, I wouldn't change a thing....as Maddie would say "We love ashother".

PS. Did I mention that I was barefoot? Little hippie. Oh, and there are descriptions of every photo on Flickr if you like that sort of thing.

Congratulations on your anniversary! We were also 20 when we were married - 10 months before you!!
Your dress was lovely & it's so nice that a special friend made it - I think it's these kind of things that make weddings special!
Have a wonderful day!

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We
