I know I know part 2

Picture this: An amazing cabin, with a great view, and multiple decks. Now add a just the right amount of family and friends. A man and woman. The dress. The kids.

Here is the rest............

All the guest had arrived. Everyone was ready. It was time to go. The moment before I walked out on the deck I got SUPER nervous. You know the kind that makes your stomach feel funny. I took a deep breath, and did it

It was amazing. The weather was great. The view was better. Seeing Derek's face when I came outside was the priceless. (I was very careful not to let him see me before the wedding, there are only so many surprises in our situation)

"You are now husband and wife", was what we heard.

Our first walk down the stairs as husband a wife. I managed not to fall this time :)

A friend of mine, Dave Tofte, is an amazing cook. Him and his mom were able to cook for us.

Food is an important thing to me. Everything we do there is food, birthday parties, family game nights etc. He did an amazing job. If you ever need a cook for a party I know a great one :)

Another friend of mine made our wedding cake. It turned out perfect. I absolutely loved it!

However I was terrified to cut it

And this is why.........

For your viewing pleasure here is a handful of family pictures.........

My family

Derek's family

We had an amazing day. I want to thank everyone who helped make it that way!

I know, I know

I have been TOTALLY slacking on posting wedding pictures
We went up to the cabin Friday night. My sister, her little boy, and her cousin, Dawn, joined my family and my mom. We had a blast. Of course, we were finishing up little end and end projects. Grandma brought all sorts of things for the kids. She brought form animal shaped hats, and slinkies for everyone. While they were bathing, JoEllen turned the jets on, flooding the bathroom. We had homemade ice cream. It was so much fun to have my sister and nephew there!

There was lots to do to get ready.

1. Raymond's hair.

2.My hair and make up. Thanks Cari and April!

Ashlynn helped!

3.Fix the girls' hair and get them dressed

4. Get Derek ready (um...yeah...there goes 15 mins)

It was time for a handful of pictures while I finished getting ready.

Time for my dress! I couldn't have asked for a better dress. It was perfect.

However, Cari and I had a bit of a problem getting in it.

We finally made it!

A little motherly help for my necklace

One of my favorite parts of the day was after I was in my dress Kayann came up and said "O, how beautiful! Lets go find your prince!" It was so sweet. So fitting for the day. It just made me smile

*In case you noticed, I switched to small pictures so I could fit more

My hand is killing me, SO I will have a part 2!
