July Review

I am behind on my blogging, so I should start with the rest of July, after we got back from our Disney vacation. On Saturday July, 10th, we went to Annalie Scudder and Stephen Brooks' wedding. Unfortunately, I didn't take my camera, but it was a beautiful ceremony. Congrats to the happy couple!

The next day I went to a baby shower for Tiffany Shake. Tiffany and I went to high school together and she is expecting her first child, a girl in September. It was fun seeing her and some of my other friends from high school. Here is a picture of us all!

The next weekend, Bill and I went to Michigan with my dad, mom, and sisters Kelley, Erin, and Michael to for Emilee Harp and Lucas Campbell's wedding. My dad and Emilee's dad Steve have been best friends since high school and our families have stayed close over the years. Here are some pictures from Emilee and Lucas's big day!

On Monday, July 19th, Bill and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary. We both had to work that day, so we just went out to dinner that night. It wasn't anything special, but we were together and that was all that mattered. I can't believe we have been married for 2 years, but I'm so glad I'm married to my best friend!

On Saturday, July 24th, my roommate from college Tara had her bridal shower in Indy. Tara and I lived on the same floor our freshman and sophomore years and lived in an apartment together the next 2 years. She is getting married in September and it was great to see her.

Old roomies!

The next day, Sunday, July 25th, was the Brickyard 400 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It was suppose to be really hot that day, but actually turned out to be a nice day. I got really sunburned because I forgot to put on sunscreen! Stupid me! The race was pretty good and had a different winner than usual. Here are some pictures from the day!

Sorry this is so late, but July was a very busy month for us. I promise August wasn't as busy as July, so hopefully I'll get that post done soon.

Love and Blessings,

Disney Vacation-Day 4

The 4th and final day of our Disney Vacation was spent at the Magic Kingdom again. We went to all of the rides or places that we hadn't gone to the day before. This day was the only sunny day we had, but it was also the HOTTEST! It was definately nice to have overcast days, which meant it wouldn't be as humid. Here are some pictures from the last day.

Erin and I with Drusella, step-mother, and Anastasia from Cinderella, my favorite Disney movie!

Me and Bill riding the racecars!

Michael meeting her favorite Disney princess, Aurora

Kelley meeting her favorite princess, Ariel!

On my 4th trip to Disney, I finally met my favorite princess, Cinderella! I was excited! She wasn't as pretty as some of the others, but I can finally say I met her.

Even though Bill didn't get to meet Pooh, who is his favorite, he was really excited to meet Mickey and Minnie!

Minnie, Bill, me and Mickey

My camera did terrible throughout this ride, but this is from the Buzz Lightyear ride

One last picture before leaving the Happiest Place on Earth!

After leaving the Magic Kingdom that afternoon, a few of us headed to Downtown Disney to do some shopping. It was hot and I was tired, so we didn't stay long. The next morning, we all got up around 5:30 and left our resort at 6:30 to head home. We only stopped for breakfast, 2 stops for gas and bathrooms breaks, and supper in Evansville and were home by 10:30.

As you can see we had a great time on our vacation and I definately didn't want it to end! There are so many things to see and do that you just can't fit them all in the days and I'm wishing that I would have done this or that. Oh well! I guess there is always next time! I'm so glad I got to experience Bill's first trip to Disney with him. He had such a good time and I can't wait to take our kids there some day! Hope everyone enjoyed my pictures!

Love and Blessings,

Whitney

Disney Vacation-Day 3

On Tuesday, we headed to the Magic Kingdom, my favorite! We decided that since there was so much to see and do at this park, we would divide it up in 2 days so we wouldn't be rushed around. It was so much fun! Here are some pictures from the first day at Magic Kingdom!

Bill and Erin got Mickey ears!

Definately got tired of hearing the song, but something you have to do at Disney!

Someone was excited about their Mickey ears and their first trip to Disney!

Magic Kingdom is definately my favorite park at Disney, but I never would have guessed what would happen on our 4th and final day!!! Stay tuned to find out!!!
