Where oh where shall a girl begin?
On September 22, 2011 we welcomed Hunter James Strickland into the world! My very first nephew and man is he a sweetie. By far one of the happiest babies I have ever met. He has the most gorgeous blue eyes and blonde hair. Here are a few progression photos of this little guy...
On May 27, 2012 Wes and I finally tied the knot! 8 years, 3 houses, 6 cars, 1 niece, 1 nephew, 20 guns, and 1 power kite company later....WE DID IT! It was everything I could have hoped it would be and worth every bit of the wait. By far my favorite part was having our friends and family from all over the state in one place for one weekend. I was fortunate enough to have a fantastic support system in my friends and family to get through the planning and stress associated with a wedding. I know it may have seemed like I lost my mind in the process but it would have been so much worse without them! I can honestly say that I would not change a thing. I'm sure there were mishaps here and there but none that would alter the course of the event!
There are so, so, so many more pictures that are equally as fun as the ones I've posted so if you'd like you can check out www.kkmasseyphoto.com
Since the wedding things have definitely slowed down. We've made an offer on a house and we're eagerly awaiting an answer. I, as usual, have gotten all worked up and will be totally and competely devistated if it doens't work out. I'm trying to remind myself that there are plenty of fish in the sea? Or at least there are plenty of homes in Wake County-ish area. So I guess we'll have to just wait and see how that turns out.
I am still in school...still. I have managed to turn a 6 year degree into a 10 year degree. I am terribly talanted. I guess some little part of me really enjoys working and going to school. (I can't imagine which part or why)
I've turned a new leaf. I am making a much better effort to be involved in my friends lives. I was slack before the wedding and stayed busy but I'm so ready to get back to a routine. Last weekend I was in Burke County to help Tamika with Tex's Fish Camps movie night. It was so nice to be in town and have nothing to do but be there with her and the kids. This coming up weekend we'll be back in Burke County for Alison and Brandons birthday campout. This is equally as exciting since it'll be full of family and good times! Aside from these two awesome weekends I have big plans to travel via fancy train to D.C. again to be with my sweet little Amber and at some point I will show my face at another Charlotte Rollar Girl derby bout to support my beautiful Bets.
A quick update on my cousin April. She's been diagnosed with a bit of rejection and has been admitted to Duke. Typical Traci would freak out and fear the worst. I would probably camp out at her bedside and ask her a million times, "are you sure you're ok?" or "are you sure there isn't anything I can do for you?". However, I truly believe April is emotionally and mentally in a good place right now and we both know this is going to be ok. Mainly because my April is a fighter and is well aware of all she has to stick around for. She's my cousin-sister and I have total faith in her ability to overcome this hurdle. (and look how stinkin' good she looks!)
Well folks, that's all for now. Until next time. :)
