"The world will never starve for want of wonders...."

"but only for want of wonder" ~ G. K. Chesterton

My life has been a whirlwind of courtship, engagement, preparing for a wedding, getting married to the love of my life, a honeymoon, moving to a different state, settling down, having family out, cook-outs, going to a fair, 4th of july, having my two sisters visit, a random photo shoot, and...a big surprise at the end!!! =) So...here are a BUNCH of photos to get y'all caught up on my life....ENJOY!

I seriously love my sister so much!












We went to Pacific City, OR for part of the honeymoon...did I ever mention how much I LOVE the ocean??

My husband is a good photographer!! =)

Haystack Rock...it was right outside of our window!

Yes...we are happy!


Not long after we moved in we had family come visit us!! I was very thrilled...=D

And more family came to visit...this time we brought them to the river for a picnic lunch and fun in the water! It was icy cold.

Jael Mercy....my new niece!

Hadassah Evangeline...my other new niece!!

Our group! =)

We went to Garr's parents house for a cookout and they had sparklers waiting!!

Yeah....we both make faces! *cheesy grin*

My sweet sister-in-law with a gorgeous smile!!

At the fair...poor Garr rode the ride by himself because I'm terrified of them!

Happy Fourth of July y'all!!! My sisters! <3 p="">

My wonderful parents....I'm so thankful for these two! They raised me to be who I am and I couldn't have asked for a better life!

My husband and new brother-in-law! Love them both!! <3 p="">


Abigail....doing what she loves best!! 

The two girls! We got so many looks from people passing by!! =)

"Adventure is out there!!" Grace loves the outdoors!

Two sisters.....

"A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost."  ~Marion C. Garretty

And of course for the end of my post! Garrison and I have been living life to it's fullest! Exploring our surroundings, furnishing our home to create an atmosphere of love and friendship. We've had our ups and downs....but we communicate with each other which is a BIG thing when one is in a relationship! I am forever grateful to God for sending me the perfect mate...the one who knows when I'm sad, when I don't feel well he does all he can to help me feel better, when I do ditzy things he smiles or laughs, he makes me happier than I could have ever imagined my life could be! I love him more than I did the day I married him...which is completely amazing because I didn't understand it when older people said that about their spouse! I have had blessings poured out upon me and God continues to do so! And....last but not least; I'll quote this little ditty to reveal the BIG surprise in my life! 

"First comes love, then comes marriage, then a baby in a baby carriage!"




Y'all be blessed and have an extraordinary week!! Y'all come back now, ya hear?!?!? *big smile*

Added this one, just cause I like it best! =) What I've been working on, because these are much needed very soon! The Spare- oom is for my sister and brother-in-law. They are putting it above their baby's room which is also the guest room/stash room/sewing room! Couldn't decide which one I liked better....=P 1.... and 2! This is for my brother and soon-to-be Sister-in-law! I've made three of these and have gotten a good report...so this is what I give when people are getting married! =) Now to go conquer my Saturday, which it is now snowing after a HUGE rain/thunder storm last night. Anyone else have as random weather as we have?!?!? Y'all come back now, ya hear?!?!?

So, as promised, here is PART 2 of our crazy weather! Snow cone? THE SUN IS SHINNING!!!! The three who were brave enough to venture into the great unknown! William and his "guys". Pulling Em out of a drift! Our lane.... The neighbor was kind enough to move the snow to the sides of the rode....thus making HUGE walls on either side! In the country there a LOTS of new games to play. THIS one is called FIND THE DRIVEWAY! Em in a drift.... One happy and rather cold girl! He's not sad.... he's a happy boy! Emma, cooking in style..... Abby stayed inside..she thought it was a better view from the window. Is there anything better then a nice cup of Chai tea while looking out at a frozen wasteland? Some vanilla (I know, very random picture) to make.... White and milk chocolate cookies for the kind neighbor who shoveled our drive!! Abby reading by a nice warm fire.....still not ready to go outside! Abby wrote a blog-post yesterday...I thought it was really cute and I'm su...

Well, here I am after a FULL day of snow, sun, family, friends, fun, and sweet fellowship! Wow! What can I say....it was cold, fun, crazy and did I mention it was cold? Our day started with sauteing the onions and garlic. Adding the beef and other such stuff to make a great southern Chili! Of course we had to make one not so spicy for those who cannot tolerate the taste of a Chipotle pepper! So, below we have Jessica (who did go out and play in the snow) stirring the stuff in a BIG pot! When I woke up the sun wasn't out....I was pretty bummed but was okay about it since we were going to have fun. The sun came out right before the Evans family arrived!! *bliss* God must have sent a blessing my way! Today is Jedidiah Evans Birthday, so we all got to sing for him!! Here is the delicious cake that Grace made for him!! Abby and Cara having fun by their secret snowball stash! =) I told Josiah he looked like he came out of a magazine....whatchya think?!?! Some of the girls stop for a pi...
