The new Schmidt's!

Before the Ceremony, our last "single" picture! Our church was buried in snow...

Our church, "O Be Joyful"

Our pastor, Jim Kunes, was amazing!

reciting my vows...tearfully

our horse drawn carriage that took us to Les Bostque after the ceremony!!!

count down...

well guys, its true...its almost time for me to be married. i have exactly5 days until I'm married!! I can't believe it. It seems so surreal. I'm so excited I don't even know how to express it!!! Soon I'll be a married woman, and then I always will be. A strange, permanent thought. Anyways, I'm so excited...its coming soon! aaaahhhh

mas picturas

Here's David and I's tattoo engagement rings! I actually "designed" the ring, David wanted the red color. We're getting real rings later but we wanted one we could always keep on :)

Thanksgiving 2007 with the Nelson's & Schmidt's!

food for thought...

Did you know that every product pictured here is owned by Phillip Morris, the world's largest cigarette company? Chances are that you've been helping to promote Marlboro cigarettes without even knowing it. You can withdraw that support by personally boycotting these products. It's like giving money to a health organization that is working to find a cure for cancer - but in this case you are taking money from a corporation that causes it. So next time you go buy food- try it. You'll like it.

My life...

4 generations of family!









ahh the best mom ever





My newest best friend Summie bear!







Summit is already trying to walk, he doesn't like to lay on his stomach so crawling may be out of the picture...

He wasn't so happy above left, but is happier laying on my tummy so that he can get a good look at me




























Summie really loves his mommie

My goddaughter Dorothy Jo Holland and her mom below Shelby

Crazy godmomma...

David and I's last trip to Florida together

This was a difficult trip for me because David was moving there and I was staying in Arkansas. He was so excited though because he was starting a new job in a new place...so I couldn't help but be excited too!

Update

So since I have just recently figured out how to do these posts I thought I'd update the pictures because I love seeing other peoples pictures...



This fellow to the left is my boyfriend David, we've been dating for over a year now and he will finish his landscape architecture degree next semester. I also got a haircut...10 inches!




Thought I should put a picture of my twin Drew who is in the middle. The next guy is his close friend Jonny Beasely. This picture was taken on our 22nd birthday, we're still the same cheese balls.




These are two close friends of mine, Kaylee and Amy. Both are lovely married women, Amy is pregnant with a baby girl! They are two of the most authentic women I know. Lots of love...
This fellow to the left is my good ole pops. We're on our traditional post-Thanksgiving hike to work off the calories. Here we are hiking a beautiful trail called Indian Creek on the Buffalo River National Park. Our hikes have been a source of joy and quality time that we can spend together, just father and daughter.

This chubby little flubby stuffed with fluff is not winney the poo but the precious ball of life i call Patchie...seriously look at the picture...does she not look like a baby polar bear?? oh man too cute...







My handsome fellow, David, all smiles and nothing but love...

This is a unique photograph of the future kickin women of the world, a sparkling designer, a UN correspondant, a gritty politician, a glamourous magnanimous actress, and a bioscientist...do not be intimidated
