this picture is so perfect and beautiful.. though, i might be biased :) it is the one the photographer sent to me before she left for vacation.. now i just look at it and wait for the rest!!

who ever said treehouses were for kids?

For our little honeymoon getaway, we decided to go stay in a tree house in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.. I was so excited to get to go to Arkansas because I had always heard it was such a beautiful natural state. it was such a cute little quaint town nestled in the mountains..
headed out of town..

modeling the tree house.. :)
 We had a great time and I highly recommend the oak crest cottages. The owners were so nice and friendly. They welcomed us with maps and information about the city. The tree house was also extremely nice and very clean.

tying the knot...

on June 26th, Rhett and I tied the knot at Myers Park in McKinney, TX. it was the happiest day of my life. Marrying my best friend of 7 years was an awesome experience. I can't believe how fast the day went.

Here are some pictures from the ceremony..

The reception was inside the "landing" as Myers Park calls it. It was air conditioned.. no worries!!
milk glass bud vases with yellow craspedia flowers..i think this was my favorite decor of the reception.
the vintage table with photographs from our parent's and granparent's weddings. I also displayed our mom's wedding dresses! i loved this table as well.
