YAH!!! We have our engagement pictures back! I am just gonna put a few of my favorites up! PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK! I think they look really cute but I am totally biased!

WhirlWind Weekend.

Deric and I had the best weekend over the 4Th! It was really crazy busy but lots and lots of fun!

So from the beginning! Deric flew in on Monday June 30Th. On the 1st we took our engagement pictures here in Liberty Lake. Thank you so much Heather for taking the time to do those for us! I can't wait to see what they look like! We had a lot of fun taking those, hiking up hills and lots of good kissy pictures!!!

We left for Moses lake on Thursday morning. It was so much fun getting to meet Derics grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins! I was really nervous at first meeting the family, but they were so loving and made me feel right at home! We had such a good time there! Jet skiing on Moses Lake, tubing (which i think i am still sore from!) and of course playing some cribbage. Which Deric and his family play all the time! I have never seen guys play that game so many times! It took me a while of watching to catch on. But Uncle Steve and I kicked butt on the last night 2 times! Thanks Steve for putting up with me and helping us win!

On the 4Th of July Deric's Dad Eric got married! It was a beautiful wedding! They got married on Deric's grandparents lawn right over the water. It was beautiful, besides the wind. It got really windy, but that didn't stop anything! It was a lot of fun! Eric and Rachel are so cute together! I am so glad that I was there to share in that day! Made me really want Deric and mine wedding date to come sooner! But after a reality check, I am not ready yet with all the wedding details!

Well after the wedding it decided to start raining, pretty dang hard too. So a bunch of us went to the local bowling alley. Eric is pretty dang good at bowling and showed us all up! But Deric took one of the team and got the lowest score, so all of the girls wouldn't feel bad for sucking it up so bad! Thanks babe! Well after we were done bowling, it got warm again, so we all headed home to play outside!

Went tubing again, and playing some catch. Even little 2 year old Justin got to ride on the tube! He was so happy and felt so big riding with Deric and I. It was super cute! He kept telling PaPa to go faster and saying HIT IT!

On Saturday morning we left pretty early to head over the Mt's and go to Seattle to see my sister Katie and her Family. Well the main part was to go to see the Mariners play the Detroit Tigers.

We were able to go to Rain Forest Cafe at South Center for Lunch. It has been a long time since I have been there! It was so much fun to see my Niece Breanna's face when all the animals would make noises, or see her face light up when there would be a thunder storm! After lunch we headed over to an arcade and had a lot of fun! Deric and my brother in law Chris got to ride on go carts, which looks like they had fun in the rain. We got to play a lot of skeet ball and watch my niece go crazy with all the tickets we won for her!

After the arcade we went to the Mariners game! Deric was super excited! We had awesome seats too! Right by the 1st base line, pretty close to the foul line ,19 seats up! Thank you Katie and Chris for getting the tickets for us all! Lots of people around us were getting balls left and right. We almost caught a T-Shirt , but some kid caught it right in front of me! And I had the amazing garlic fries in my hand and I wasn't about to drop them for a shirt! I did buy my very first Mariners shirt! Deric was very shocked that I haven't ever had one before!

It was an awesome game, kept us on edge the whole time! We did win though! In the 8Th inning we finally got a home run and a runner batted in! Exactly what we needed in time! My niece got totally into the game and was cheering for ChiChi Ro the whole time! He is her favorite! She kept asking me and Uncle Deric where he was, and what he was doing. At the beginning of the game she wanted to know where he was. So I told her that he was in the bathroom getting ready and doing his hair. So she told her mommy that she needed to go the bathroom. When they got there she told her mommy that she didn't need to go potty but she just wanted to make sure he wasn't in the bathroom near us. I thought that was pretty cute!

Needless to say we had a very eventful 4Th of July weekend. Lots of fun meeting Deric's family, well now my new family! I loved everyone there. Its kinda funny cause now all of his aunts and uncles and Grandma text me. Deric is kinda jealous because they don't text him.

Just a little update! 77 DAYS TILL THE WEDDING!!! not that I am counting or anything!

I have lots of pictures, so I am just gonna add them at the end!
