Puppy Love ~ Donny Osmond

Well...we did it! We have officially become man & wife. I know, I know - that was a month and a half ago. Well we've been busy! Work is crazy. Crazy but wonderful. New things are on the horizon and I am so excited. Ryan has been getting back into the work groove...we are both finding it hard but necessary. It's so amazing being married. We don't feel different but we sure love calling each other husband and wife! HA! The wedding was amazing...words cannot express how much fun was had. From the beautiful chapel...to the short but sweet ceremony...to the gorgeous Sommet Center...to Kevin's amazing rendition of "Nothing Fancy" by Dave Barnes...to the yummy food...to all the family and friends that came together to share in our special day. We are blessed beyond words. Nothing compares to that feeling of such love and support. Just got the pictures back and I am up late thumbing through all of them (there are tons!) and chosing which ones I like the best. I swear I have the prettiest friends ever...every picture is stunning. The honeymoon to Guanacaste, Costa Rica was seriously the BEST time we have ever had. Actually, it was our first vacation together...sad...must make time for more vacations. We met a fun and fabulous couple (The Tuckers)! We lounged in the pool and drank mojitos at sunset. We ate at some of the nicest restaurants I've ever been to. It was AMAZING! The JW Marriott Resort & Spa will forever be in our hearts!

Things that have happened since last time:

Kevin & Renee had baby Presley! She's teeny and precious and I held her as long as they would let me! She's perfect...

Big Machine joined forces with Universal Republic to become superlabel Republic Nashville. Cool things coming from them, I promise you that!

Miss Cathy closed her doors...I swear I thought she would teach dance forever. Wish I could have sent my future daughter there...great memories.

HUGE things for The Valory Music Company! Justin Moore finally released his self-titled debut (about time!) and it was VERY well-received! 34K in the first week and "Small Town USA" is still climbing the charts. Reba McEntire released her 1st album from Valory called "Keep On Lovin' You" to a #1 chart position on the country and billboard top 200! Cool to be a part of all this...one for the memory books...

I slammed my finger in the car door...not cool...

Keep on Keepin' on...

White Wedding ~ Billy Idol

I have been up all night doing wedding things.   I admit it - I took the easy way out and printed labels instead of hand addressing them.  I'm sure the guests won't mind:)

I never knew so much wen into this wedding experience!

Flowers, centerpieces, cake, linens, entertainment, parking, dress, bridesmaids, showers, parties, oh my!

I will definitely need our honeymoon on July 13th:)  Costa Rica here we come!  I can't wait!

That's A Man ~ Jack Ingram

Just wanted to show you our new addition - meet Jack...or Jacks...or Jax (depending on who you ask). He's a chihuahua/shitzu mix and he is the sweetest, most adorable doggie ever. He's about 4 months old and loving life right now. We were back and forth about getting a dog for a long time because our schedules are so crazy right now but Jack seems to be adjusting well to his new life with us. He's potty training really well for having only been with us for a few weeks. I think maybe it's because we take him outside every 5 minutes! Ha! He loves people and other dogs but cats aren't really his thing. Did you know they have some crazy cats @ Petsmart!? I was so proud of him when we took him there as he was the hit of the whole store - later I was informed that apparently all dogs are:( Anyway, I got my first taste of what it's like to show off your "kid" to other people! Jack really is like our kid. In fact, Ryan has even taken to calling him "son."

So...when you get a chance, come over and meet him! When it gets warmer we can hit up the dog parks.

Check him out...better pics to follow!

Loving You, Loving Me ~ Dave Barnes

On March 18th Ryan and I will have been engaged for one year.  The wedding is getting closer (4 months and 6 days according to my cute little iPhone app) and we are getting excited!  I've been trying to take it in strides for fear of becoming bridezilla.  I've created an insanely fabulous spreadsheet that highlights what has been paid for and what will need to be paid for and when. Can you tell I do accounting for a living?  I dreaded the planning process (I know, weird) for so long but now that I am this close I have to admit that I am really getting into it.  It's been a whirlwind for us from moving in together to the engagement to the wedding and we've hardly had time to enjoy it - come on honeymoon!  I've kept everything pretty simple.  Black, pearl, candles - it's very me.  No tutu, no ribbons, no pink.  Although my dress is kind of girly if I do say so myself.  My mom and my mother-in-law (to be) have been so good to me throughout this process.  I am sure the next few months will be the roughest but I have had so much love and support that I am positive it will go well.  I am so in love with my husband to be and I am so honored that he wants to spend his life with me.  That truly makes me the luckiest person alive.  I cannot WAIT to see how our story unfolds...

Welcome to the official beginning of our Jeanette Family Blog!  We look forward to sharing our life lyrics with you!

JULY 11th, 2009 - SAVE THE DATE!!!!

AND

HAPPY 84th BIRTHDAY MIMI!
