PICTURES!!!

Yesterday I received a great package in the mail from Micah: It included A CAMERA that she is going to let me borrow, a book she wants me to read, and gift cards to Starbucks and Ann Taylor Loft to help me start my professional wardrobe. Thanks so much Micah!

Because of her wonderful gift, here are some pictures of my new "do!" Please leave comments and tell me what you think! [I'll put up pictures of our apartment soon as well]. In case you forgot how long it was before :


Brent has been very supportive :) He says he really likes it. He's known me since 7th grade and I've always had long hair, so this is a big change for both of us.
I still like to pull little pieces back [below], as I still can't quite get used to the little pieces in my face!

When I go to the pool I still try pulling it up in a ponytail, but this is all I get :) That is a HUGE change for me!
Brent enjoyed looking like Billy Ray Cyrus for a moment with my pony tail: don't break my heart, my achey breaky heart....[I need to mail that off so he stops playing with it!]Can't wait to hear what you all think! Sorry you had to wait to see pictures!

more wedding pictures

Well, finally the uploading didn't take very long. Although I have a ton more, these are some of my favorites, and ones that I feel give a good idea of the day. [Also, did anyone notice that I changed up the layout/colors of my blog?]

Mom and I during pictures. Yes, when we took pictures [before the wedding] it was super cloudy and windy. I was nervous but everyone kept telling me it would be okay. Didn't mom look great?

Now with Dad. You can also see Becca, our photographer in the picture. She did such a great job and really set a great mood for the rest of the day. We had a very fun time with her. [Dad said I weigh a little more than I used to...I blame it on all the lace :) ]
Getting Hawkins into the mood for pictures. He did such a great job all day [Our nephew, for those of you that don't know.]
During processional.
I'm walking down the aisle. This is possibly one of my favorite pictures of the day.
Recessional [yeah, these aren't in order]. I think Kali and Derek are laughing about the kids walking in front of them.
during ceremony

Our beautiful cake...before it fell over!!! Yep. Oh well, it still tasted just the same.

Here we are cutting the cake...notice the re-done look!!!
Leaving.

Family.

The "Carrolls"

If you didn't notice, the sun came out RIGHT before the ceremony!!! It was beautiful.

My bustle: complete with a brooch from Brent's great grandma.

It was very hot and everything was sticking to me. We took a brief break during pictures to air out :)

With our wonderful ushers who worked their tails off.

The first in the processional [again, notice the SUN!] Torri and Dawson.

Luke and Paige.

You may kiss your bride [Scot, Brent's brother, in background]

wedding pictures, as promised.

For some reason it is taking a really long time to upload pictures, so I will just do a few at the moment:

Here is a shot of the bridesmaids boquets, and how they were beautifully displayed at the reception. My Aunt Mary and Aunt Wanda put these together [they did all the flowers that day]. Didn't they turn out perfect!

A shot after the ceremony as we are dismissing people.
Aunt Mary, hard at work.
Putting on the shoes.
The wedding party during pictures.
Water anyone? It was very warm and we all wanted to drink enough liquid. :)
just a shot of the back of my dress, and Beck putting on his jacket :)
