I can't stop saying... MY HUSBAND ♥

Hi girls! I am back with a fixed computer and OMG! I've got some blogging fever!

Forget the housework this week, I want to chat!! LOL

I am going to pick up the disks from our photographer today... Wedding Photo Time!

The shot above is one she sent me in an email saying "You have got to see this!"

Pardon my French, but daaaaaaaaaaaamn my hubby looks fine here ♥

I cannot stop saying "husband"! I just feels so right to finally be able to call him my hubby

after sooo many years!!!!

Didn't the bouquet come out so pretty?

I had to have a fresh bouquet full of roses (she used 2 dzn.) and with red berries; I never actually saw what it would look like till my wedding day and it was PERFECT:)

And... onto the honeymoon!

Here we are at a top of a mountain that we rode a ski lift up to...

Here is the ski lift seats!

I felt like a dare devil on our honeymoon...

I am usually afraid heights so I had a tough time talking myself into going on this thing!

The first plan was to take this lift halfway up the mountain side, then get off to go down on their Alpine Slide which was like a little scooter board you sat on and rode down a "slide" through the mountainside. I was all about going down the slide buuuut, didn't know I had to ride the darn lift to get there. So as we got on the ski lift, I went into panic mode and was crying like a BIG WIMP!! I had white knuckles holding onto the bar that just RESTED over us and then squeezed Brian's arm with my other hand! He could NOT believe I was crying!! I can look back now and LOL about that:)

So after we went up the mountain, then down the Alpine Slide he talked me into riding the lift again which was MORE fun that time. I decided to be a Bad A*S and say "Ok, I will ride to the top of the mountain this time" I did it without tears and it was so cool!! The pic of us above standing by that tank looking thing was taken at 3,590 feet in the air... COOl huh??

A hazy view of the mountains...

Something about being up in the mountains is SO peaceful and serene; I absolute fell in love with it!

I want to move to the mountains someday!!

The quiet and privacy is perfect!

Here I am, with my new pink gloves Hubby had to buy me cause my fingers were freezing!

Here is Mr and Mrs ♥

The ride down the mountain was a lil more steep; but I handled it alright!!

Isn't this beautiful?

Here are a couple shots of our cabin...

Hubby was trying to get a fire started for us!

This is the living room area...

Our huge King sized bed... a-hem ;) It was pretty cozy if I must say ♥

Dining room area... I loved all the wood!

Wasn't a huge fan of the cowboy and indian decor especially the two larger photos of Indians that faced our bed!!! Spies, I say!!! LOL

The kitchen...

with a DISHWASHER, I'm in love!! No dishwasher here at my house:(

The cabinets and counters were lovely, must like what I WANT to have, one day!

The 2nd floor with a pool table and foozball table too.

The 2nd floor king sized bed that had dead flies on it... ewww!!

I guess the flies had been really bad with wanting to get inside the cabins since the cold weather hit!

A view of the windows on the 2nd story.

There also was a cute little loft on the 2nd floor as well.

And lastly I will leave you with a gorgeous view of the sunset!

I was all about getting back to the cabin to see a sunset in the mountains and Boy, was it beautiful!

I have LOTS more pics like these to share with  you all!

I hope you enjoyed the pics!

We had a fab honeymoon!!

Can't wait to share some more details with ya:)

Love,

Noelle ♥

I Miss BLOGGING :(

HI friends! I hope you all had a fab Thanksgiving?? Ours was pretty relaxed, for once!

I have to admit that I am feeling very sad now that we are back from our honeymoon:( We had the most amazing, relaxing and romantic time together! I think I want to move to TN! This week has been so rough with our boys,  its like they are punishing us for being gone! I feel sad that the wedding is over; the day flew by soooo fast, I barely remember anything!! Today is Black Friday and had no $ to go Christmas shop:( I am shooting to get my Christmas decor up in a couple days so I hope that brings some holiday cheer!

I terribly miss blogging! I miss hearing what all my gals are up to! Our computer was taken today to get fixed, I am hoping to have it back this weekend! I have TONS of honeymoon pics to show! The wedding pics should be done within a few days too from our fab photographer! I am finishing up my 2 Christmas swaps I am in as well.

Here is another sweet wedding photo above! I have to say that I felt so beautiful on our wedding day!! I NEVER feel that way on a daily basis and for my husband to tell me I was "stunning"; I had to have had it GOING ON!!! (LOL)

Update on my date... NOT good news! A recent CT scan this past week showed that cancer has spread to his spine. There is a tumor on a bone in his neck that is pressing down on a nerve; causing him the paina nd weakness on his right side. OH!! Last Monday, they removed his trach and a few hours later he stopped breathing and they had to perfrom 2 rounds of CPR which brought back his pulse and also left him with a few broken ribs too. I am SO worried about him and sad that he has to go through. He started radiation this week as well. Please continue to keep him in your prayers too ♥

I love you all and miss you bunches!!

Please don't think I am ignoring your blogs; when I get a chance to post at my mom's or mother in laws, that is all I really have time to do. Not much visiting has been on the agenda for me :(

I hope to be back here soon!!!!

Big hugs ♥

Noelle ... Mrs.K ♥

Back to Reality!

I'm a bit grumpy cause I can't get in touch with all you girls!! I am at my m-i-l's house today but don't have much time to post! So look for a nice post on Turkey Day with some more pics from the wedding and honeymoon!!

Other than for the technology troubles, I am happy to report that I am NOW a happily married woman!!! Life has been so great!! Can't wait to share more details with all of you!

The NEW Mr. and Mrs. "K" ♥

Its official, we are MARRIED!! OMG, girls I cannot even describe the way I feel!!

First off, the WEATHER... sunny, warm like 64 with a breeze!

God answered my prayers for lovely weather!

This photo above is a "sneek peek" from our FAB photographer; she emailed me a couple pics today to give me a "taste" of what we are getting! I am SO IN LOVE with this photo; I could just cry!

After the ceremony (which went wonderfully minus the fact that our lil 2 year old Gage was a tired wreck and never made it into church for the ceremony! He was in the "cry room" with my niece and sister in law the whole time!!) We took some pics after the ceremony in church and outside!

Brian and I went over to the B&B we were staying at and took pics on their property which is where this pic above was from!!! ♥

Here is another fun one at the B&B; I seriously felt like he was going to DROP ME!! hehehe:)

We had so much fun together during this one-on-one shoot!

I could just feel the love for me pouring out from him on this day!

He told me that when he saw me coming down the aisle at Church; he thought "wow"  and that I was "stunning"!! GOOD WORDS, BABE!! ♥

Here is a shot of our gorgeous wedding cake, not sure why this one came out small!

After the ceremony was over!

I must say... we make a CUTE couple!

(Look how happy he is!!!!)

Ok, ok... I was doing a tribute to Michael Jackson's song "Beat It"! LOL

I was sweaty and gross feeling!

Time to cut the cake!!

We were nice to eat other and didn't smear it:)

Sooo... what do you think of my gown?

I loved it so much, and got lots of compliments on it!

It felt good to be so lovely for a day ♥

More pics to come! We are leaving Tuesday for our honeymoon to Gatlinburg, TN!

We cannot wait!!!!

Love,

Mrs. K ♥

Here comes the Bride....

Hey girls! This is my last post as a "single" woman!

Yep, tomorrow is our long awaited wedding day!!

I am SOOOOO excited, Brian is freaking out a bit about all the attention and 180 people to talk to tomorrow!

He's not the social butterfly like I am... can you believe that?? LOL

Just wanted to thank you all for sharing this wonderful journey with me... and know that if I could have invited you all and flown you in from all your states and countries I WOULD have! The more the merrier, right?? I LOVE YOU ALL! The amount of support, love, guidance, prayers and gifts from you all has been PHENOMENAL! This has been the best journey blogging all my thoughts and dreams of our wedding day with all of you! Just now that as I walk down the aisle tomorrow, my heart will be overflowing with all of your love too!

Today is a crazy busy day so I'd better get a move on it but just wanted to pop in and say HEY!

I am going to try to blog a few pics from the wedding late Sunday night or on Monday before we leave for our honeymoon ♥ to TN!! I cannot wait to show you all my dress... I feel SO beautiful in it; its like no feeling that I've ever had!

Please say a little prayer for nice weather tomorrow for us and that everything goes smoothly!

All my love,

Noelle ♥

All Sorts of Things ♥

Hey there girls! Wowie, its less than 3 days till the wedding now!

Just wanted to show you all some goodies/gifts that I/we have gotten:)

My friend Mandy gave me this adorable frame @ my bachelorette party!
I love frames!!

We recieved a gift card to Bed Bath and Beyond in the mail for my shower so I used it to purchase this pretty wedding frame; I also got us our shower hooks and a new toilet seat (we needed it! lol)

Last Saturday, this big old package arrived from Fed Ex...

Our Paula Deen cookware!

I was SOOOO excited to get some new pots and pans; I have used the same T-Fal set for over 10 years now and its gotten very worn out!

Brenda, everytime I cook now I'll think of you ♥

On Monday, I came home to 2 packages from 2 darling Bloggin Gals that I love!

This sweet package of gingerbreads came from my Sweet Pea, all the way from Canada, "just because"!

Love the 3 lil plush kids, the one is a container with a lid (too cute) and a sweet notepad! Thanks PEA!

The other package came from my friend Katie!

She sent me LOTS of scrapbooking wedding supplies and a spiral bound wedding album set from Memory Makers!

She also added in some other wedding stickers and doo-dads for me to use on the boys albums too!

And Katie sent this super cute notebook for me to use next semester!! Thanks Katie!!

Oops, this cute gingerbread man lotion came from Pea too!

It smells yummy!!

I was at Target today and found these 2 cute ornaments!

I love the pinks and aquas I am seeing this year on trees!

And to put those colors on a white tree would be FAB!!

Hmm... I am thinking of changing my living room tree up a bit this Christmas!

Guess you'll have to wait and see what I do!

___________________________________________________________________________

This week has been pretty crazy for me... not with wedding things, per say.

Yesterday I bumped myself and felt a really bad pain in my right breast.

I noticed a small "lump" on the inside, and panicked immediately!

Went to the dr. today and they did a breast exam and told me not to worry, it seemed to be a swollen gland...

come to find out that in my case of having Insulin Resistance, when my Insulin levels spike (like when I eat a bunch of halloween candy that I'm not supposed to...) it can totally throw off my hormone levels... causing this to happen.

Well, speaking of hormones...

guess which AUNT of mine is slowly making her way into TOWN right before my WEDDING and HONEYMOON!!!???!!! Ugh, I have been thinking for the past two months that "Aunt Flo" would be here for the wedding and sure enough... BUMMER!!!

So I am hoping I am in the clear by Tuesday when we got on our honeymoon! UGH!!

The joys of being a woman... :(

Sorry if that was TMI for ya!!

Sometimes a girls just gotta vent!

Well, I love you all SO much and cannot wait to share some pics and details with you of our wedding day!!

Please say a little extra prayer for my daddy who most likely won't be back in town for the wedding, so SAD! At least he is being well taken care of and getting some time to rest before he begins radiation!

Hope you all are having a great week!

Love,

Noelle ♥

GIRLS NIGHT OUT!!!

Hey there! Boy am I having a heck of a time getting on here to post!!

Sooo much to do this week before the WEDDING... only 4 more days!!!

Here is ME ready for a NIGHT on the TOWN! Got my shirt at Target last Friday for $14!!

Here is one of my cakes with the HOTTIE Chris Daughtry on it!!

My darling boss and friend, Becky made me another cake that resembled something I probably shouldn't show on my blog, hahaha!!

Pink/black was the theme... cute balloons!

This gift bag CRACKED me up!

I did NOT need to use the BARF BAG though:)

Here is me and my sweet pal Heather!

Girlfriends... Mandy, Wendy, Jen and Amie.

Amie on the right wearing black is my soon to be sister in law; Wendy on the left with the glasses is my Matron of Honor.

Carrie, Becky (in the back with brown on is my boss/friend that made the naughty cake), Heather and Valerie (on right in back is my BFF and maid of honor!)

Clockwise from back- gal in red, Vida then Heather, Kris (my friend from kindergarten in the blue, and Jen in brown.

We went to Hacienda first for dinner, margaritas, cake, gifts and a naughty game;)

Jen; bought me the gift in the Bachelorette Barf bag.

(Can't exactly show what the gift was...)

Me @ the club... maybe after a couple drinks... maybe? LOL

More pics to come...

I've gotta get moving to go for my final fitting today AND

I'm hoping that dress FITS now!

Chat later,

Noelle ♥

Hugs,

Noelle ♥

Paaaaaarrrrrrtttttty time!!

Hey girls!

Tomorrow night is my Bachelorette Par-tay!! Woo-hoo!

Can't wait to sip a few sweet drinks, open embarrassing gifts and dance with my girls ♥

I went to see my dad today and he is doing really good!

Still trying to find a short term rehab for him back here in SB; as opposed to him being 3 hours away like he is now! Don't know if he will be back here in time for the wedding though:(

Makes me sad!! We've grown so close through this whole process and I really really want him to be there on our wedding day! Keep praying girls, keep praying!!

Can't wait to take some fun pics tomorrow night and show them off to you on Saturday!!

Hope you all have a great weekend; what are your plans??

~Mrs. K... in just 8 days!!!!! ♥

(Noelle)

Put your SHADES on!! Wedding BLING!

Hey girls! Time to show off some of the BLING for our wedding day... which BTW is... 11 days away!!

These are the FAB vintage clip on earrings that I purchased off ETSY to use as SHOE CLIPS for my sexxxy wedding heels!! LOVE ♥

Here is the soon to be Mr. K's wedding band!

He picked a simple TUNGSTEN band; he's a manly man and doesn't want too much flash on his ring finger;)

Here is my pretty band!!

I actually got 2 of these bands; one for above my engagement ring and one for under it.

The 3 rings will be saudered (sp?) together as one!

It just made everything sparkle sooo much nicer!

My ring finger is NAKED though till the 12th when the rings are finished:(

Here is the pretty room where we will be staying on our wedding night ♥

(I booked it for the night before for myself, want to get some zzzz's so I can be the most lovely bride I can be the next day!!! Actually, I didn't want to have to run around like a mad woman trying to get out of the house on the morning of the wedding!! ME with KIDS= ALWAYS running LATE!!)

This is the living room of our Honeymoon Cabin!!

I will be lounging in there with my HUSBAND in just 2 weeks ♥

I have always dreamed of sitting by a fireplace snuggled up to the man I love and EEEK, its finally about to come true!!

What a journey our 9 years together has been!!

Lots of rough hills that we were able to climb together and get through!

So many wonderful memories including the births of our 2 sweet boys!!

I am so blessed to have this dream of mine coming true;

and am glad I can share it with all of you!!

Love,

Noelle ♥

Mrs. K in... just 11 days!!!!!!!!!
