Our Wedding

We did get married in Texas on May 30th! My lovely bouquet was put together by Aunt Pam. Four out of the six kinds of flowers were hand gathered in the pastures by my bridesmaids and girl friends and I the day before! Our friends Peter and Leslie took these pictures for us on the ranch where I grew up. We had a reception there following the wedding.Our ushers, bridesmaids, groomsmen, and the flower girl and ring bearer.My sisters and I:) L-R Anna, Amy, AngelaMy mother's side of the familyAbove: my father's side of the family

Life has been so busy since then with the honeymoon, Sarah and Bob's wedding, driving out to Seattle from Minnesota, and getting settled. We finally got internet, so hopefully I will rejoin the blogger world to share thoughts and pictures with what fans I might have left:) I plan to add to this post as well, so check back! I have so many pictures to share from going to Africa, home, the honeymoon in St. Lucia, and of course, the beautiful Seattle area! I also have people wanting to see our apartment...so if I can get around to taking pictures and posting them, you can see that as well!

Back from Africa, getting married!

Back from Africa.... Getting married in two days....

So many pictures....

So much to say....Will have to wait....

Hope you all haven't completely given up on my blog:) Over the last few months, there has been too much to blog about and no time to do it. We returned from our medical trip to Cameroon and safari time in Kenya only to get Matt graduated from medical school, move out things to Seattle, and come home to Texas to get married! After the honeymoon, we will be back in Rochester for Sarah and Bob's wedding before driving Matt's car out to Seattle so he can start residency! So, who knows when I will blog again, but I will when things slow down!

Matt and Amy

I know this is long overdue, but Matt and I got engaged on November 29th, and the two months since then have been super busy with Matt interviewing, us planning the wedding, and working!
If you wonder why I haven't been blogging much...here's what's going on! Matt just finished interviewing all over the country for general surgery residency programs. I went on some of those. Wedding planning started right away. It will by May 30th in Gruver, TX. Besides all of the planning, we are planning a trip to Cameroon, Africa, for April 1-May 12th. My sister, Anna, is going with us as well. Matt will do his last medical student rotation there, and I will do nursing work. That means that I will stop work here in March, go to Africa, be in Rochester for Matt's graduation on May 16th, then go home to finish planning. We will find out where we will go for Matt's residency on March 19th. Right now, top choices are on the west coast.

So there is the short of it. I am actually at work right now, but I have no patient until my surgical comes back, and no one needs help, so I took a moment to update this. Until later...
