marriage & mayhem!

well, its been an extremely busy month & i've been slacking on the blog postings. this is actually the first weekend in almost 2 months that i haven't had a jam packed weekend. so let me catch everyone up with what's been going on with tyler & i...

tyler is currently traveling thursday-sunday every week with his 18 & under elite baseball team. so far, they have gone to tournaments in indianapolis & cincinnati; next weekend they are traveling to winthrop university. they still have quite a few tournaments to go to; their season isn't over until the end of july. his team won the 16 & under world series last year! they received a special invitiation to play in a very prestigous tournament at the end of july. its a great opportunity for the boys; they get great exposure to college & mlb scouts. many of them will graduate with offers to play college baseball; and a select few will be drafted to the mlb. i hate that tyler is away from home so much in the summer, but he truly enjoys it!

a few weeks ago, tyler & i had our first wedding shower! my aunt dorothy ann & my nana threw tyler and i a couples shower. it was a blast and definitely not your traditional wedding shower! check out the pictures!

i have also been a busy little bride-to-be.. my best friend & maid of honor, kristi and i went to cincinnati for another dress fitting. the dress fits perfect!! i can't wait to go pick it up!! sorry, no sneak peek of the dress this time. ;)

house update: my dad has completed all the wiring for ALL the lights in the house and we are now running electricity out of the new box in the laundry room. its the little things in life, huh? haha all these little things will add up (eventually) to a complete home!!! tyler is doing an amazing job on our kitchen cabinets and master bathroom vanity. he's so talented! i'm so grateful for the time and energy my dad has been putting into our home. he puts in 3-4 hours almost every evening after working all day at his job, plus he works on my house all day friday, saturday, & sunday.. EVERY weekend! we're still waiting for our driveway to be poured.. the excavating crew was there today so i'm hoping if the weather holds up for us we can get that finished this week.

tyler & i had our engagement pictures taken a few weeks ago! better late than never, right? we are still waiting to see all of the pictures, but our photographer has a preview up on her blog. she did a fantastic job! we took pictures in ritter park & enslow middle school baseball field where we met.. they turned out great!
