Perfect Wedding Guide Bridal Show & Wedding Package giveaway!

Well, another Perfect Wedding Guide Bridal Show is over. I had a great time yesterday, and it was so much fun to meet so many new brides! Some of my brides from the last show stopped by to say hello. It was such an honor to have them there, and to see how excited they were! I took some pictures of the brides who stopped by, but unfortunately, the point and shoot camera I brought along was on it's last leg, and the images were too blurry to post. Don't worry, this is not the camera I bring to weddings :)

I did manage to get two decent shots before the show began of me with my parents. They drove six hours to be with me and help out and support my dream. I love them so much, and feel so lucky to have them as my parents!

My sister-in-law, Denna, helped me out again. I am so happy to have her in my life! I know she supports and believes in me, and it was such an honor to have her by my side!

Well, once again, I had a drawing for a free wedding package. I drew 5 names today, and this weekend, after the brides submit their reason why they think they should win, I will pick one bride to win a free wedding package. Check out my POST on my last winner. She was super excited, and I can hardly wait for her day to get here!

Here are my five finalists!

I can't wait to get their submissions. Best of luck to all of you!

Family, Cake, and Sunshine...

This past weekend, Paul and I headed down to southeast Missouri to spend some time with my family, and to celebrate my nephew's 2nd birthday. I know I've said it before, but I love going back home... no matter where I end up in life, it will always be home for me.

I can't believe this little guy is 2yrs old already.

Paul enjoyed playing with Joah's blocks. He's convinced he's turning into an old man, but here's proof that he's still a kid at heart :)

Joah LOVES his trains! So cute!

T-ball with Daddy!

My Dad still has some youth left in him. He looks so natural with the football :)

Here's the reason I don't like photographing my subjects with them facing into the sun.

Paul had to show off his football skills and his new ability to do the crane thanks to P90X.

I snapped these two as Joah was talking with Grammie... not quite sure what he thought about their talk

I thought the weekend was all about Joah, but my family surprised me with an early birthday party that Saturday evening. I had no idea and felt so loved!

CAKE!

My cake was absolutely fabulous!

Dad apparently likes to stock up on wood. I don't think they'll have any wood shortages anytime soon :)

I also created a little short video for Joah's birthday on facebook that can be viewed by CLICKING HERE
