My favorites

So, it's been quite awhile since I've blogged on something fun and exciting.  So I decided to put together a quick list of my favorites.  What are some of your favorites?

Candle Scent:  Hands down it's gotta be Pumpkin Spice by Yankee Candle.  I love the smell, and wish I could burn it all the time.  I wonder if I'd ever get sick of it.

Photographer:  Rachel Henderson.  Rachel photographed Ryan and my engagement photos and wedding.  Not only did we get a steal of a deal, but we also got AMAZING pictures.  I love the stories she tells with her photographs.  They're so much more than just pictures
Mountain:  Mt Sherman.  Yes, I do have a favorite mountain.  Why?  Because for my cousin Marni's wedding, I hiked up it with a few cousins and siblings.  I thought I'd die, and despite attempts from my sister to get me to go back, I didn't.  We all finished, and can now say we've climbed a bona-fide 14'er.

Picture of Melodie:  I mean seriously...

Picture of my sister and me:  This one, for the random reason that we kept making the same weird faces without seeing what the other was doing.  And we look so freakishly alike!

Family Photo:  Nothing better than a good day at "Be-U-ti-ful Miller Park!"

Job thus far:  Labor and Delivery.  It's emotionally taxing, but worth it.

Car: Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with a silver bottom.  No leather interior for me people.

Flower: Tulip.  Ryan has it made.  He knows two things about flowers.  One, I HATE carnations, and two, I LOVE tulips.

Vacation spot: Hawaii.  We went there on our honeymoon and had a fantastic time.  I'd move there in an instant if we could.  Where in Hawaii?  Kona, for sure.
Book: Frank Peretti's This Present Darkness, and Piercing the Darkness.  So I guess technically it'd be my favorite series.

Current American Idol contestant:  Danny Gokey.  Like the singing, like the glasses.

Pants:  Old Navy's "The Flirt" jeans.  I like how they fit, and how they make me look.

Shoes:  My brown pumas that I got a couple of years ago

Professional athlete:  Lindsay Tarpley.  We used to play together.  She's a classy lady.

Sports team and player:  Milwaukee Brewers, and Jason Kendall.  I can't WAIT for the season to start!

Married

Yesterday Jo and Sunder FINALLY tied the knot! Ryan and I were both in the wedding, and had a great time celebrating with them as they got married. Sunder and Jo have known eachother for the the last five years after they met during a Youth with a Mission (YWAM) missions trip JoAnna took while in college. Jo was in India last year having an extravagant engagement ceremony when Melodie was born, and 11 months later their long distance and term dating came to an end as they said "I do".
Things went fairly well, although I did loose Jo's ring, which is a VERY long story, and the cake place lost her cake, which was much easier remedied. Hopefully the ring turns up very soon.
Despite the couple set-backs, the day was a blast, and both of them looked amazing. It was so much fun to be a part of.
