happy birthday brindy!!

Catherine's wedding

Jason's sister Catherine's wedding was last month and it was the most amazing wedding I have ever been to!  She had a '40s theme and had collected antique and vintage items from thrift stores and various places.  I couldn't believe all of the incredible things she had found! Her mom made her dress and she looked gorgeous.  It really was the most creative and beautiful wedding I have ever seen.

You can check out some of her pictures on the photographers blog: http://danagrantphotography.com/catie-ben-vintage-arizona-wedding-part-1/
She was also featured on greenweddingshoes http://greenweddingshoes.com/real-wedding-catie-bens-vintage-inspired-backyard-wedding/ which is very cool!

I was excited the photographer got a picture of Jason and I :)

death to the silver bullet

i had to say goodbye to my little silver corolla in january.  i got in 3 accidents in a span of 2 months and i'm happy to say that not one of them was my fault.  i was rear-ended twice and the thing that did my car in was when jason smashed into a lady that abruptly pulled in front of him. i swear my corolla had a target on it.  luckily noone got hurt in any of the accidents... and to make things even better we were able to keep the money from all 3 accidents because we didn't get one fixed before it happened again.  i had my heart set on another corolla because i was really attached to my old one... until i got a 2010 ford fusion rental car. i had that thing for a week (with free satellite radio) and it was very hard to let it go. but it took 6 weeks of jason picking me up from work in his un-aircondioned car to find what we were looking for.  so we drove up to showlow and got this beauty-
                                                           

so its not a '10 but an '07 is still an upgrade from my '04 corolla.  AND its a v6 which i can't help but speed with.  it is so smooth that i can't even tell i'm going that fast.  another thing we were very excited about is that it has a direct feed plug for my ipod so i don't have to use my fuzzy radio cord anymore.  that is something that i was really hoping for because i only listen to my ipod and hardly ever the radio.  its amazingly clear! i am very VERY happy with it!
