12 Years

Sometimes I think back to when I was young and I marvel at how different my life has turned out then I thought it would.  I thought I knew at 12 who I was going to marry and how many kids I was going to have and exactly what my life would be like.  I was very wrong about all of it.  

I often joke with Curtis that if someone would have told me I was going to marry him in our teenage years it would have probably made me cry.  I love that Curtis and I grew up together and have known each other for so long.  I love that our love story has lots of drama and unexpected twists and maybe even a little controversy.  I love that I can think of my most favorite memories and moments in life and that he was a part of a lot of them, or that he knows about them and appreciates that they made me who I am.  

I love that we have been close to giving up but never did.  

I love that we have had some extremely hard times, and that we both know how to really appreciate the good times.  

I love that he loves me for me.  The good and the bad.  

And I love him just the way he is.  

I love that he is such a great dad.
I love that he helps me accomplish my dreams.

I love that he is so fun to be around.  

I love that he is so mechanically minded and can fix anything.  

I love that he is so freaking handsome and makes me proud to be his wife.  

I love that he kisses me everyday before he goes to work.  Even if I'm dead asleep, he lays one on me.  I love that he loves to do things with me but lets me do my own thing when he can't be there or if it's not something he wants to do.  

I love that he wants me to be happy.  

I love all our memories...the good and the bad.  

I wouldn't change a thing about our lives.  

He is my best friend and I can't wait to spend another 12 years together.  

My Best Friend's Wedding

The big day finally came!  We have been waiting for this wedding for a long time it seems.  It was so fun to be so involved in planning a wedding.  Emilee had a lot of incredibly fun and unique ideas and put a ton of effort and thought into her big day.  It turned out PERFECT!!!

Me, Em, Tonya, and Kylee went to the salon and got our hair done by the professionals.  It was nice to not have to worry about that..and it was way fun to just spend time with my favorite girls.  

They had these sunglasses as gifts for all the guests.  

Super cute idea.  And so fun to see in all the pictures.  

They were married in my Uncle's backyard.  He has a gorgeous house with a beautiful backyard.  We were all very worried about the weather (it rained a lot that week) but it held up perfectly for us.  I didn't get any pictures of the actual ceremony since I was in it and didn't think to give my camera to someone.    

Instead of a book to sign they had these letters that they are going to hang on the wall in their house.  Another SUPER cute idea.  

The big group of people there for the ceremony.  Most of them anyway.  

A few people still didn't make the picture.  

My entire family.  We are all married now.  So strange but SO fun.

The Eisenbarth Kids

Proud parents.  

Super cool siblings.  

Seriously can't say enough how much I love these goof balls.  

They are a great group of people and I am so lucky to have them in my life.  

It makes me smile.  We are all very different, yet a lot alike, and even though we don't always agree or do things the same way, we love and respect each other very much.  We have our drama from time to time of course, but it's so wonderful to know that no matter what these guys have my back and they love me.  I know they would do anything for me...and I would do anything for them.  

I'm pretty sure she was the most beautiful bride EVER.  

This was the grooms cake.  As you can probably guess, Tucker is a State Trooper.

We are so thankful to have such a kind, caring, awesome dude join our family.  

The wedding cake.  The topper is so cute.  

It is kind of hard to see in the picture but it says Mr & Mrs Harris.  

The Flower Girls with the Ring Barer

These two crack me up

My little family.  

Enjoying a pace bar

Another party favor for the guest.  The tags say "Thanks for coming.  You really made our wedding "POP!" and had cute straws attached to them.  

Pace Bars!  YUM!

They also had a nacho bar.  Totally original, yummy, and fun.  

They are a pretty gorgeous couple.  

This kid gets more handsome every day I swear.  

She's so stunning!

Dancing as Husband and Wife

Daddy Daughter Dance

Emilee is most definitely my best friend.  I couldn't ask for a better sister.  I love her so much.  I am so happy she has found someone as wonderful as she deserves and I can't wait for her to start having babies and hanging out with me while our husbands are busy working nights and sleeping all day.  :)  

CONGRATULATIONS TUCKER AND EMILEE!!!

Rehearsal Dinner

The night before the big day we all met at Jeremiah's for a delicious dinner.  The restaurant wrote a congratulations message on their marque and Kylee said "That's so nice.  Now the whole world can know that Tucker and Emilee are getting married."  At least anyone driving down 12th street would know.  

The Harris family hosted a wonderful evening with great food.  

Aunt Em is so sweet.  She brought the young kids these awesome coloring books and suckers to help keep them entertained during the dinner.  She is always so thoughtful.  

Cannon was sitting by my Uncle Spence and he colored with him.  

I have the best family.  

It is no exaggeration that these two are BFF's.  

And I'm pretty sure these two will be BFF's too.  Cannon ADORES Tucker.  

(We all do.  He is the most awesome guy!)

Me and my dates.  Seriously don't know what I would do without these two.

It was an incredibly wonderful night full of great advice and sweet memory sharing stories and talk of love and happiness.  Emilee and Tucker are not only incredibly good looking together but they are just perfect for each other.  I am so happy for them and know they will have a fantastic life together.  

Emilee's Bachelorette Party

As Maid of Honor, it was my responsibility to throw Emilee a bachelorette party.  I just decided to take her to our most favorite places.  So we went to the Spaghetti Factory for dinner and then to the Karaoke Cafe for some entertainment.  

She had people dedicating songs to her all night long.  This guy was an AMAZING singer.  We decided he was way too cute to be on stage along and so we joined him and gave him some love for his sweet smooth voice.  

It was such a fun night.  I couldn't ask for better friends than my sisters.  I love them so very much!
