Gettin' Hitched

Well, it finally happened!

I wasn't sure it ever would, but I'm very happy it did!

Robert and I got married on May 11, 2013 in the Houston, TX temple.

I don't know how much commentary I'll do, but I'll throw a few things in there!  This is right when we came out.

I loved this cute moment with Robert and Matt.

So sweet!

Here's our little family.

This one was taken by Helen Maidment - Robert's ex mother-in-law.  She was kind enough to bring Matt over for the wedding.

Matt was a great helper with my train.

My mom was fantastic at getting everyone set for the pictures.

This is Melissa Fullmer who was my main photographer.

Here's the big group.

Love looking at all the individual faces.  Hilarious!

The Williams Clan

The Bushmans

I was trying to get a nice picture with my girlies, but Evie was a little ornery.

You can see I'm totally holding her in place for this picture.

She is a cutie, though!

I love this one!!!!

Robert and his cute mom!

My dad . . .

and mom.

The girls in my family!

My Joseph City girls.  Kristal on the far right was the second photographer.

My sister, Susannah

My brother, Adam

Just us! :)

Kristal snapped a few family pics of the Warrs.

Love those girls.

My bouquet.  Love it!

Kristal snuck in this one.  It totally cracks me up!

Handsome!

This one is for my dad.  He always likes to get shots like this!

The Martins were kind enough to let us set up lunch at their house.  It's really close to the temple.

Everyone got a chance to relax and cool off.

We had a fun time chatting.

I finally took off one of my eyelashes that had just been hanging on by a thread.

It's my Hitler look.  Not super attractive!!!

Pre-Wedding Fun

This is a random post of some of the stuff that went on to get ready for the wedding.

About a week before the wedding, I went over to Abraham and Stacia's place so Stacia could practice doing my make-up for the wedding.  We went with a really natural look and I really liked it.

Sadly, the next morning I woke up with pink eye!!!!  I got to the Dr. early in the week and got it pretty much cleared up before the wedding.

I took the Thursday afternoon and Friday all day off from work to get ready for stuff.  Friday morning the flowers arrived and we spent a LONG time getting flower arrangements, bouquets, and boutineers put together.

Robert's mom, Ann, was a big help with the flowers as was Holli, Susannah, and my mom!

In the blue bucket are the finished bouquets.

The boutineers are in that little bowl.

Once my other JC friends and Sarah had arrived, we decided to go to Erum's to get our eyebrows threaded.

Susannah has been missing Erum since she moved away and was glad to get back in the chair!

Kristal has been to see Erum once before and the reaction was even worse than this one.  I think she has very sensitive eyebrows!  She's no wimp, though.  She gave birth to an 11+ pound baby with no epidural!

After the eyebrow clean-up we headed back for a BBQ at my place.

We had quite the spread and a LOT of folks and fun!

Penny enjoyed herself.

So did Evie!!!

Adam and his tablet were an instant hit with Shalene's boys and Matt.

He loved it!

I snuck this little shot of Robert and mom snacking on the cake tops the Jen brought by.

The day of the wedding I headed to Kelly's salon to get my hair done.  This is before hair and obviously make-up!

Here's Kelly getting started.

She's good at her job!

I loved Susannah in the mirror on this shot!

Done!  Susannah was up next.

I sure like Kelly - and her hair-stylin'!

Holli snapped some pics of the finished do.

Stacia met me there and did my make-up while Susannah was getting her hair done.  Not sure why we didn't get any shots of that.  Stacia went a little heavier on the make-up and it was shocking at first, but I really liked it.  She even came over to my place afterward and added some fake eyelashes.  Fancy!

Bridal Shots

Jen Purdie was kind enough to take some bridal shots for me a few days before the wedding.

We met at the "LakeShore Pillars" not far from my house.

The lighting was great because it was overcast.

I loved the beams along this walkway.

I like this one minus the blue towel put down to keep my dress from getting dirty! :)

More beams!!!

This is actually most likely the fastest bridal photo shoot that's ever taken place.  Notice the clouds behind Jen.

Here she is helping me get set up - in super speed.

Holli's helping me here.  Susannah snapped this picture for me.

We had to run after about 15 minutes because the rain/thunder/lightning arrived!  Thanks for your help, Mom! :)  Jen did a great job for such a quick and frenzied shoot!

My Birthday

A few days before my birthday I met Robert and his brother Russell in Austin.

We had some dinner at Scholtzky's Deli and then headed over by UT.

Cute! :)

We went to a Rush concert.  Robert LOVES Rush. It was a really fun concert.

On my actual birthday, I got some fun treats at work.  Jake made an awesome banana cream pie.

Linda made a delicious German chocolate bundt cake.

After work, Robert came over and we met up with Kim and Collette went and watched Oblivion.

We headed to Outback for dinner and Katherine and Erin met us there.

Totally randomly and unexpectedly, we ran into Robert's cute niece Jennifer there.  She's a waitress at that restaurant!

Robert made me a necklace out of chain maile that turned out really cool.

He brought me some beautiful orange roses as well.  Part of my present will be an i-Phone once we get our cell phone plans all worked out.  Yahoo!

This next one has nothing to do with my birthday, but I wanted to put it somewhere.  Last Wednesday Robert came into town and went to the temple with me.  We had dinner with the Martin's and then stayed at their house.  Bro. Martin had put this sign on the door of the room I slept in.  I thought it was so funny!
