A Full House Three Week Hiatus

This excitement is ridiculously noteworthy in my head, even though it's a bit older than today. I just want to make sure it gets it's due praise. Cheslea Davis worked extremely  hard and her work paid off! Our wedding was featured in Style Me Pretty Texas on October 25th. I am so honored and excited! Bridesmaids you're all famous now. It's a wonderful feeling to have your hard work captured by someone so talented, and then published for all the world to see. So check out the post folks, it's definitely worth stopping in to see! Thanks again Chelsea for bestowing this honor on us. We love and miss you!

This epic family photo is the reason behind my three week hiatus on the blog. I wish I could say I was talented enough to take photos, edit them, & write entries to document our adventures as we had them, but also I am not. The Wollschlager/Ndjerareou clan was here for three weeks, and if I do say so myself, it was a rocking success!!! I was even more thrilled that we could house that many people for three weeks and the apartment didn't fall apart. All this being said, there are a TON of pictures to edit and just as many adventures to update on. I've been blogging for long enough to know that catching up isn't my strong suit. So bear with me as I do my utmost to recount the experiences. I also want to thank the family for taking the time to come visit. We felt extremely fortunate that everyone was able to come and stay for so long. Thanks for allowing me to play hostess and letting me drive you around for three weeks. I will try to do our adventures justice.

This photo is from Dana's promotion ceremony on the 31st of October. He was awarded BTZ (Below the Zone) and was able to delay his ceremony so that his family was able to be there. Definitely a proud moment for all of us. What better way to celebrate Halloween?

Before I can even begin to talk about the family adventures, I'd be remiss (and depriving you of pictures) if I didn't highlight some of the important events that happened before they got here. D and I went on a mini adventure by ourselves on a Sunday afternoon to the Hitscherhof Pumpkin Farm. They had a pumpkin festival the week before, but D and I were babysitting the Aiduk munchkins and postponed our visit until the weekend after. It was an epic Fall photo op. This farm is super picturesque. Everything pumpkin. Pumpkin champagne, pumpkin sausages, pumpkin butter. You name it they have it pumpkin-ized. I highly recommend that everyone who can attend this next year should go. it's completely worth it. They even have a corn maze!!! Granted, it's not the Lubbock, Texas Corn Maze, but hey, few things in life are... I went through though, just for you Jen Wall!!! So here are the photos from the farm. Enjoy!

So from today forward I'm jumping back on my regularly scheduled blogging bandwagon. Thanks for your patience and know that there are seriously amazing photos coming up. Here's wishing everyone an amazing weekend!!! Happy Friday!!!!

New Look, New Feel, Same Blog...

THE WEDDING PHOTOS ARE IN!!!!! Lately I have been a psycho when it comes to checking the mail. No, seriously. I call D everyday to tell him to "check the mail" even though he already knows that we have a crap-ton of stuff headed our way. He dreads calling me to give me the news of "Sorry babe, no mail today...". Upon receiving this news, I curse. I yell in anger. I may or may now throw inanimate objects around the apartment. The Lord is on a mission to teach me patience. You mark my words. But then there are days like today.... when my husband comes home with a bright shining smile on his face and a box in his hands that may as well contain a million dollars. This is how much it improves my day. Today was clearly special as we received the long anticipated wedding photos from our AMAZING photographer Chelsea Davis. Show her website and fantastic blog some love, if you haven't already. Chelsea has recently updated her packaging and I was psyched to see it all first hand. She did a beautiful job in hand selecting super cute boutique packaging. Everything matches!!!! Why in the heck did I not do boutique packaging for a living? I'll just go work for Wedding Paper Divas, or Moo.com, or Jesus, why not Martha Stewart? I digress... So for those of you wanting prints of the wedding photos please email/fb/leave-a-comment/etc and let me know. I will send you a link and an order form! I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So you may or may not have noticed the new look of the blog... I have been extremely busy these past few weeks, hence the blog hiatus. A close friend of mine, Miss Jen Wall, asked me to completely graphically reformat her photography business. We're talking logos, her blog, the website... the whole shebang. I was super flattered and thrilled to be asked. I love nothing more than to play with photographer's images and dress up web graphics to make the greatness the already show, look even better. So we set out... sorting detail after detail. The final product was posted sometime last week, and is receiving pretty great reviews. Please show her some love too at From Jens Lens!

Clearly, since I was already in redesign mode, I wanted to revamp my own self designed blog. I've learned a great deal since tinkering with Jen's and I was excited to reformat this and get rid of that. I also wanted a page to clearly promote my cupcake/calligraphy company should I be able to pull it off here in a couple of weeks. So far, I'm happy with it. My favorite part is the icons up at the top allowing social media networking crazies like me to click to my hearts content.

So now that the blog redesign extravaganza 2012 has finished, I can get back to my regular scheduled blogging....after the holiday weekend, of course! There is SO much to catch you guys up on! I can hardly wait!!!! Here is a teaser from one of our random trips! Hope everyone has an magnificent Labor Day weekend!!!

All my love to you guys!!!!
