Something Blessed- The Rehearsal

Happy Sunday Lovelies!

We were so lucky that our wedding party was able to make our rehearsal on a Thursday evening! We all met at the church and we were so excited to have everyone there to see Creighton's campus and St. John's which is on our campus as well! Photos are all compliments of my cousin Sallie Wilson!

Here is where my mom and dad are meeting the priest.

A little unsure that she wanted to do this!

The rehearsal was so much fun and it was so nice to have all of our friends and family around us to celebrate. Everyone was so excited that we had trouble at times listening to the church coordinator, but it all worked out! I will have more rehearsal pictures tomorrow and getting ready pictures on Tuesday. Wednesday I will plan to debut our professional pics so tune in!! Enjoy the rest of your Sundae!!

Something Blessed: And the guests arrive!

Happy Saturday! Let the wedding recaps begin! 

All of our out of town guests started arriving the day before our wedding and we were fortunate enough to get a huge block of rooms for all of them at the same hotel- it was fortunate because the College World Series was happening at the exact same time! The hotel just happened to be look like a castle and really added to our theme. Now everyone took lots of pictures but my cousin Sallie was there to fill in for all the time we did not have Anna taking pictures. Sallie did a wonderful job and today just so happens to be here birthday! Happy Birthday Sallie!!

Here are our out of town bags full of goodies and a picture of us and the dog!

Everyone basically caravaned from Colorado- so here they are after a long trip!

Ashley & Tony's Mexico Wedding Ideas!

Happy Friday Lovelies! Today is the last day of classes for me and all the seniors here in the School of Nursing before finals! Yay, us!!

 My cousin Tony was married to a wonderful lady Ashley in Mexico and unfortunately many of us were unable to attend this amazing event. However, they are letting us share in their celebration by holding a New Year's Eve reception- how fun!! Lately I have been compiling these lovely pictures on pinterest for them, as sort of a brain storm! Their theme of course is Mexico, have a look at some of my ideas!

Prelude from Te Deum- Something Blessed

Happy Monday Lovelies!! I just took my second to last "Care Management" test for nursing and wow does that feel amazing!! Today I wanted to share with you a very special thing that Danny's cousins did for our wedding! All three of the Lambrecht girls are music majors and incredibly talented at that! After we asked them if they would play in our wedding we all sat down and chose some songs for them to play. Lynnsey ended up rearranging quite a few of the songs so they could play them with their saxophones. Most of the prelude songs were instrumental songs from "The Beatles." She also arranged the song that I walked down the aisle to, "Prelude from Te Deum." She dedicated this song to us and now her arrangement has been published and is for sale. How completely amazing is that? Thank you to Lynnsey, Janelle, and Annette for making our wedding day fill with musical love!

In 30 years...

Hello! It's been awhile, but with school and newly wed life things have just been fast and crazy! During my absence I have realized how much I seriously miss the blogging world and have been catching up with all of your gorgeous weddings and updates! Congratulations to all the newly weds and the newly engaged!!

I recently was given the opportunity to attend and sort of help out at an extremely special and sweet vow renewal and thought what better way to return to the blogging world than to share it with all of you!

(Disclaimer: Names and places were not discussed in this post due to privacy laws)

This year is my senior year of nursing school which means tons of work and clinicals galore. For my last rotation this semester I am on an Oncology floor and during my first week there I had met a couple whom I want to be like in 30 years. They were upbeat and loving even though he had a terminal cancer diagnosis. They decided the best thing for them would be to leave the hospital and spend his last days at home, although due to his medical needs he needed to be discharged on Home Hospice care. However, before they left they decided to renew their vows and involve their family and their health care providers in this loving act. The vow renewal was bitter-sweet as the husband was dying and in unimaginable pain. If you looked around the room there was not a dry eye in sight and you could tell that the life of this couple, the love of this couple, and the love for this couple rose up and out of every person present. Their strength and love that they have found in each other and others is something I will never forget! They have really taken their vows in sickness and in health to heart and have stood by each other every step of the way! So in 30 years I hope that Danny and I have at least have of these insights with each other!

Congratulations to my new friends and thank you for teaching me the important things in life!
