My Life in Photos - recent 4 months!

Wow…..it really has been a long time! As the saying goes, “Time flies when you’re having fun”….and that statment can’t ring more true! The past four months of my life have been a complete whirlwind of exciting advenutres. As I post these photos, I’m taken back a bit at how fast the ‘merry-go-round of life’ goes…..this year has been full of weddings (including my own), baby showers, family vacations, etc. I never knew my twenties would be this eventful 🙂 Although I have an abundance of pics to share with you all, I will just post a few to highlight the events that have caused me to be MIA since April 🙂

These photos are from our February engagement session with Kelle Hampton(www.kellehampton.com). She is an amazing photographer and we loved the pics she took for us! It’s not everyday that you get the chance to do this!

We spent the day in Naples, walking the streets and playing on the beach! It was a fun afternoon and a time we won’t forget!
Thanks, Kelle 🙂

On June 26, 2010, I got married! What a truly beautiful day and night it was. Kyle and I met in college and had been dating for about 5 years before he proposed last September. The wedding couldn’t have gone more perfect. We had the time of our life with all of our close friends and family. How lucky we are!

Immediately following that momentous event came our spectacular honeymoon in St. Lucia

This island had tons of breathtaking views that knocked us off our feet….such as their infamous twin peaks

“The Pitons”. We got the chance to see them after our mountain biking escapade (reason we are so sweaty!)

These next two pictures are from sunset one night. The colors in the sky were like an indian paintbrush….beautiful!!

~ More pictures of our honeymoon will be shared in future posts ~

Some other events throughout the summer that kept me running around were:

Lindsey’s bachelorette party in Miami. She is tying the knot in two weeks. Off to New York the weekend of October 16th to celebrate with her and all of my friends

One of my best friends from childhood just had a baby, Aurielle Marie. She and her husband, Chris, have been friends of mine since elementary school! These are pics from her baby shower. Such a cute prego chick!

Aurielle Marie Balija was born on September 26.

Aunt Melly can’t wait to see her again soon!

The Parents: Chris and Tal

Aren’t they such a

good looking couple?

I only hope I will look half as good as she did when I’m pregnant someday…..

Okay, so following the baby shower was a trip to Greenville to visit with Kyle’s family! We had a really

nice weekend spending time together:

And the star of the show…….Miss O!!

Look at that incredible smile….it lights up the entire room!

    Bath Time

      Olivia was splish splashing
          in the tub! She loved
    putting the wet washcloth
       in her mouth! Babies in
    bathtubs always get to me
     because smiles are endless!!

Grandma Time…..hanging out on the deck taking a break from the swimming pool was a perfect way to spend the day!

Olivia and Grandma
Vasel hanging out together!

I think some of the best

moments in life are spent at home. Nothing beats precious time with family!

And to end the summer and begin a new season, we celebrated at Katy and Brendan’s wedding. It was the first that I attended since my own and I was very excited to experience this wedding as an outsider! It was a blast!
