Kaleb & Sereina Tie the Knot

In the almost 5 months we were engaged, we did a lot. We traveled a lot. We ran a lot of errands. We cooked a lot. We unpacked so many boxes. It was a busy time for sure! I thought I'd share some of the photo highlights we have from that season of life. We sent Alina a lot of ring shots. #sparkle Fun times during Camp Jitterbug. On our last day in Vancouver for Lindy Bout, I planned a surprise breakfast party for Kaleb's birthday. Meetings with our friend/officiant, Josh. Lots of unpacking after getting Kaleb's stuff back from smoke restoration. Fun times at Big Sky Weekend. Poker with the Millers, Tiana, and Daniel. Buying patio chairs at Fred Meyer. We bought a new dresser from Ashley Furniture at it was delivered a few days after my bridal shower. Instead of a company picnic at work, they took us to a Mariners game, which was lots of fun.

Finding Shoes Finding the right pair of shoes was quite the challenge. Ideally I wanted something red, but it's hard to find red flats in general, let alone in a size 5.5W. Finding plain flats in that size is nearly impossible. But one day I had the realization that I should've been looking in the kids section as there are more colorful options and the equivalent sizes are usually a bit wider. I ordered 5 different pairs of flats from the kids section on Amazon and ended up keeping two pairs. The original plan was to wear the red ones for the wedding and the silver ones to my bridal shower. I did that, but also brought the silver ones the day of the wedding and I'm really glad I did, as after not too long the red ones became really uncomfortable on my heel so I switched out after pictures to the silver ones. It was a last minute decision to bring both of them, but I'm most definitely glad I did! Picnic Date The day we went to Shane Co to pick out our w...

The weekend before Big Sky Carrie hosted the most wonderful bridal shower for me! She baked all sorts of gluten and dairy free desserts, made lots of cute decorations, and even made a photo wall. It was so nice! The only requests I had for the event were to not open gifts during the party (I'd much rather spend time with everyone than have everyone staring at me as I open presents, lol). I also didn't want too many games, so we ended up with a just couple different trivia games. The first was where guests were challenged on how well they knew me and the second was me trying to guess questions that Kaleb answered. It was a lot of fun! It's crazy to think that I had a bridal shower. For me, not just one of my friends. Kinda hard to fully wrap my mind around. I don't usually like being the center of attention, so it was weird being so popular and everyone wanting to talk to me. I was definitely tired by the end, but it was so worth it! ...
