I Love Tulips!!!!

Nathan and I went to the Missouri Botanical Gardens on Friday. I love going in mid-late April because the Tulips are all in bloom. I love tulips, they make me smile. I had never seen a 'fringed' tulip before, here is a picture of it and a few of my other favorites that we saw.







After a few hours at the botanical gardens we went down to the landing and had lunch. On our way to find a place we wanted to park we saw this bus stuck under a bridge! Pretty cool to see, not so cool if you were on the bus or the driver.

So, I would have to say my day off on Friday was a good day. I didn't get much done around the apartment, but had a great time with my husband. God makes amazing things in this world, Nathan and tulips are two of those things.

Speaking of Nathan being wonderful, Sunday I had an awful day at work and when I came home he had cleaned the kitchen(did dishes), done laundry, and changed the sheets on the bed. Seems so silly that everyday chores make you know someone loves you, but it does!

The Wedding Is Over!

I was looking over a few ads as I do almost every week and as I viewed the title "wedding sale" on the Hobby Lobby ad I smiled as the thought of the stress gone from wedding planning. The wedding planning is over though I seem to trade one stress for another. God works in mysterious ways and is always reminding me that I need to give things over to Him. God provides with me with one blessing after another. Nathan and I would be returning from Mexico today, but unfortunately our passports did not come in yet, pretty stressful. We spent this past weekend in Branson, Misosuri, and had a wonderful time, what a blessing. We stayed at a B&B, went to the Hollywood Wax Museum & Ripley's Believe It or Not, and saw the Chinese Acrobats. Here are a few pictures to sum up our weekend.

This is the first "safe" diving mask, designed in the 1500s, made in the 1800s, Believe It or Not!


Nathan next to a replica of the "tallest man ever", he was 8' 11", Believe It or Not!


Believe It or Not! Nathan and I are standing in front of the "world's largest ball of string"


The landing in Branson was a lot of fun to walk around, we shot a pic while we were people/fountain watching.

Life is full of things to smile about! :)

Oh, anyone who wants to look at our wedding photos online go to: www.toddstudiosphotography.com, click on "client area" in upper right corner, click on "events", enter the code: 72385W95715

Nathan and I will be getting a cd with all of our pictures on it so we can make non-professional copies (e.g. walgreens, walmart etc.), so let me know if there are any pictures you want. If you want professional developed pictures email Todd Studios.

Anyone have suggestions of how to narrow down what pictures to buy let me know. Any pictures you thought you wanted when you got married, but now think I should have got a different picture?
