Homecoming in East Lansing

Brady excited to use his

We flew into Michigan on Saturday morning. Went and died my hair brunette, then went to Champps to watch the Michigan game and hang out with the Williams, then to the bookstore to spend way to much money on MSU apparal, then off to tailgating, the game, and the bars afterwards. We then flew out on Sunday. It was a quick trip but well worth it!!!! Yeah!!!! Go State.

Confused

I am very confused about those three running plays and then the field goal kick? We had that game in our hands to win..... or lose... What upsets me the most is ESPN or anyother sports show is not going to notice how well MSU hung in there with number 9 Wisconsin, there are going to mention the Warrick hit, they are going to mention the two players that got ejected, and they are going to mention those penalties we had in the final minutes of the game, when the commentators noted, well here is that old Michigan State football team creeping in. It was such a good game.... but I am just emotionally drained from the loss... very deflated. Now is the time that we will see if we are a new football team. If we can bounce back against Northwestern and Indiana in the next two weekends and overcome this loss, I think we we are a new football team... if we don't.... its going to be another long second half of the season.

Go State

On the banks of the red cedar....
theres a school thats known to all....
its specialty is winning
and the spartans play good ball

Spartan teams are never beaten
All through the games they fight
Fight for the only colors
GREEN AND WHITE

Go right through for MSU
watch the points keep rolling
spartan teams are bout to win their fighting with a vim
RAH RAH RAH

See there team is weakening
Were gonna win this game
FIGHT FIGHT RAH TEAM FIGHT

VICTORY FOR MSU

Hey go State.... Hooray for the victory... GO SPARTANS

update

yup... whoever "they" is managed to take 2200 dollars from our account today

Panicked....

So I went to the bank today to notice that all our money had gotten deposited into one account..... just to find out later through Brady once we followed through with it with the bank.... that someone had added a payee to our account which was to take out $2200 tomorrow.... thank goodness we caught it.... but it scares me that someone got into our account and messed with our money.... If I hadn't gone to the bank today, We would have ABSOLUTELY NO money tomorrow.... :(

Instant Aunt!!!

Dodger Game 9/14

USC game

This was the first weekend of college football... (September 1) Although I was unable to make it to a Spartan game, Brady and I did find ourselves at a Trojan game! Thanks to Casey and Kris, they had two extra tickets to the USC/Idaho game and we were able to go and enjoy ourselves!

So Mitzi tagged me

I must tell you all now eight things about myself...
1) Most of you don't know this but I live ande breath Michigan State
2) I live and die with MSU football
3) I just got married to the most wonderful guy
4) I am claustrophobic
5) I have a fear of snails, ants, and other nasty things
6) I absolutely LOVE ice cream
7) I am a scrapbook fanatic
8) I love East Lansing!

Getting ready at Anna's

Well after we got our hair done most of us went over to Anna's to get ready. Mitzi, Megan, and Kris went over to the hotel to have Lise do their make up and get ready. We had good times while getting ready.... Me trying to sip champagne through a straw or the way I was eating my Jimmy Johns to avoid ruining my lip stick.... the whole process of putting my dress on..... then trying to put my shoes on.... and then fifteen minutes before pictures realizing Chayla has TWO RIGHT SHOES!!!!!Anna helping Chayla with her hair!

Look at my two sexy bridesmaids, Anna and Rachel...

Look how many hands it takes to put on my "bra."

Still working.....

Now time for jewelry..... the dress needs to be last...

Jewelry on....

Now it is time for the dress.....

1.2.3......

It was pretty intense getting ready to go into that dress... considering I am a bit claustrophobic.

Christina is protecting the hair as I am going under....

Jennifer where are you????

Look at the terrified look on my face.

It's almost on.

Now to zip it up.

We're getting somewhere.

We almost have it...

Now for the shoes...

Christina.... where are you looking???

Finally, the finished project.... and to think that whole process really only took like five - ten minutes... it just looks and felt a bit longer than that...

Getting Ready....

We had to be at the salon at 8 am and got worked on until about 2 or so... The hairdressers had about nine hairstyles to do and my make up. We were occupied with mimosas, make up, bagels, and good stories! Mitzi getting pampered and getting her hair done.... sexy mama!

Christina putting make up on mom!!

Angie working on my hair.... the humidity was an issue today!!!!

Rachel was the second to get her hair done, so now she is working on her make up.

You would never be able to tell Lauren has chin length hair!!!! Angie worked some magic!!

Megan had matching hair as me!!!!

Christina patiently waiting to get her hair done.... but its okay she is sipping on some mimosa.

the Rehearsal....

Well most of you know by now.... I am married!!!!! Here are some of the pictures from the Rehearsal and the Rehearsal dinner. Logan and Nathan practicing their walk down the aisle... Hopefully they can do just as good!!!!

Now remember.... we both have to say I DO!!!

Brady and I at Champps for our Rehearsal Dinner.... would I have it anywhere else???

I am not exactly sure what is going on here?

I am really into explaining or thanking or doing whatever it is I am doing!!!!! Brady is getting prepared to do whatever it is he is about to do...
