Happy Anniversary!

Last Saturday was double special to me. Not only did Tim and Stef get married that day, but that was mine and Don’s 6 year anniversary. When Stef first told me the days they were considering for the wedding, I immediately voted for September 7th. I thought it would be neat to share an anniversary. But secretly, I just knew that we’d be dressed up and there would be nice cameras present, so I could get a good anniversary picture of us 😉

Kidding! But, that did happen 🙂 Mayci was very sweet to take a picture for us.

I think it turned out well! Thanks Mayci!

We weren’t sure where we wanted to go for dinner that night. But I knew one thing–I wanted to try a new (to us) burger place. So I asked my Facebook friends their favorite place. We narrowed it down to Christy’s, Bailey’s Range, and It’s A Better Burger. We ultimately decided on It’s a Better Burger. They have a charbroiled burger AND a pretzel bun. So off we went, with all 4 kids in tow.

These two pictures cracked me up!

So, how was it? Amazing!! The charbroiled taste hit the spot! And I’m digging the pretzel bun trend that some places are getting into. I rate it high on the burger scale! I can’t wait to go again.

I’m not going to turn this into a lovey dovey post. But I will say that I love my handsome husband! A lot has changed in the past 6 years and I love him more each year!

Blog, friends, wedding

#timanie wedding

The day has come and gone. 6 days later, I’m still exhausted. I was so excited for the day, as I have been praying for it to come for many years.

After a night of very little sleep, we woke up bright and early to get ready for the day. As I’ve already mentioned, the hotel served a yummy breakfast (the pancake being the best part.) The morning was very easy going (at least on my end) and I didn’t feel rushed. Merri did a terrific job fixing my hair. I was very thankful for her help! I got a lot of compliments on it 🙂

It was a pretty hot day and we were taking pictures outside. I can’t wait to see what Billy got but here are some of the pictures I took that morning. I didn’t really grab my phone to take pictures too often. I just wanted to enjoy the day and not worry about taking too many. That’s what Billy was there for.

Then we made our way to the church for them to get family pictures. I felt cool, calm, and collected all day. Really, all day. Up until 1:20. We were sitting in the Bride’s room, waiting until the 1:30 wedding started. And all the sudden, nerves hit me in the face. I believe I even screamed. I also successfully got Maggi worked up at that point. However, she was blessed with a generous offer from Tim’s brother (who she walked down with.) He said “If you fall down, I’ll fall down too.” How kind! About the time we were going to walk through the doors, I took a nice, deep breath and all the nerves left. Let’s get the wedding on the road!

I don’t have any photographic proof of the wedding after this point. But trust me, they got married. And it was awesome. And I’m so happy for both of them. It was a beautiful wedding with tears and laughter, with Christ being the focus of it all.

I love you Tim and Stef! Thanks for letting me be a part of your special day!!

And for the last time in relation to the wedding—–
