A few of my favorite things...

I know I already put some wedding pictures up, and I promised some of our new home - but I had to post these! These are some that really capture the love my family has for each other and the reasons why my wedding was so memorable. The next few are a little bit more of Ben and me.












I am really glad we shot some of Ben in his uniform because I think he looks very handsome and also I get a little glimpse of what my husband went through and accomplished these last 4 years.



Another one of Ben is his honorable Class A's.



My lovely (and tired!) parents - the next picture will explain the 5 reasons why they are probably so tired. Can you imagine raising us?



My siblings - Stan, Sarah, Ross and Jeff - it seems we can't take a normal picture. I have many fond memories of growing up with my 4 best friends. Love them!



My sister-in-laws from left to right - Alisha (the veteran), Lori, Katie, Deanne and Rachel. Love these girls!



Grandma Brady and Ben



My best friend Jayme



All together!



Ben's family



My family



My momma



My parents Jeff and Jeanette



Ben's parents Debbi and Dave



Ben's siblings from left to right - Sam, Nate, Jake, and little Katie in the front. I think someone is goosin' somebody in the back! I sure have enjoyed getting to know the new additions to my family. They are so fun and treated me like family when I first met them. I love and miss you guys and wished everyone lived a little closer!



Ben dancing with his Mom



My only sister Sarah - lots of people say we don't look alike, frankly I don't know what they're talking about.



Ross and Grandma Taylor - classic picture



I think the picture says it all!



Dancing with my Daddy



Our nephews (even though I technically don't have any!) Little Ben and Isaac



Our nieces left to right and top to bottom - Jillian, Chloe, Emilee, Olivia, Sadee, Emma, Ryley and Aubree - is there a coincidence to these names??



New friends Ryley and Sadee



The one's who stuck around for more pictures - Mom, Sarah and Ross



Little Ben and Big Ben



Kevin and Ryley



Dad, Mom, Ross and the grandkids (with a few Miller grandkids in there)



Alisha and Jillian



Sadee and Ben - I think somebody has a crush!!



Chloe and Stan - one of my absolute favorites

Alert the media!!!!

Caitlin is officially domesticated!!! With a little help from Sarah's KitchenAid, my knuckles, a great recipe and some love - I baked homemade french bread. I sure am glad my husband likes his carbs because this recipe is tasty and makes some big loaves. Sarah had made some the other day and had us over for dinner - it was very tasty so I asked her if she could teach me. Out of the sheer joy in her heart and a desire to see me burn something she let me use her mixer (which by the way someone really messed up and didn't get Ben and I a mixer - whoever you are I hope you feel really bad!!) Anyway, the bread came out perfect and warm and Ben couldn't help but take off a little nubbin' from the end.



So this is the top picture of the fantastic french bread. When my dad first saw this picture he thought it was a picture of my niece Sadee's bum with some horrid war wounds. Thanks Dad!! JK he just didn't have his glasses on yet. Well Ben and I will get some pictures up of the new place soon. It is quite cozy and we sure do enjoy calling it our 'home.'

Our Wedding

Well this is the big day!! These pictures were done by a close family friend, Aften Wright. Thank you to her! I absolutely love the last pictures with Ben in his Class A uniform from the Army. I get a very tender feeling when I look at those pictures. I hope everyone enjoys them! Thank you for such a memorable day!!! We are settled in now to our cute apartment and trying to get back to life. Ben and I will keep you posted!

This is what happens when your sister has your password

Yes, this is Sarah, Caitlin's sister. I am sure most of you are tired of looking at the same post over and over again. I decided to update her blog. Yesterday was Caitlin's birthday and she is now 22 years old. Today is her last official day of classes and then all she has left are finals. After that she will be able to focus more on preparing for wedding. She will also be babysitting her nieces as much as possible, jk!!! Well, I found this picture of caitlin in Hawaii. She looks so cute.



She is going to be the best mom.

Caitlin and Ben went on a double date with Jared and I. Here is an idea of some of things we did that night. Make sure your speakers are on.

Sheesh!!!

So since nothing else is going on in our lives besides work, school, and planning - engagement photos are all we really have to put up. Soooo for those of you whining about my privacy rules and lack of new posts (coughShireenandSarahcough)... here y'all go!!

This last one is said to be a favorite of everyone's. I really love it because it depicts so much about our relationship. Its definitely going up on our wall some day!
Where ever that wall may be....

Bribery....

Ok so I am posting this picture as a bribe to make all who want to see more of Ben and I to email me there emails. I am setting our profile to private so get me those email addresses!! That means you!

Another 'first'!

Our photos!! So out of the 50 pictures that I like this is on the top of the list to send out. I just love that smile of his!! I like the coloring of the picture too.

Paha! The photo shoot was so fun because we would just be dumb and she caught some great Kodak moments like this one. I would love to just send this one out but I believe my parents would cut me out of their will if I went through with such a travesty.
