Business or Pleasure?

A company that Riley's family's company does a lot of business with asked the two of us to go to Colorado with them this past week. Of course this business trip offer was one that didn't take long for Riley to respond to. We love going to Colorado to ski and the scenery is just beautiful! I, of course, couldn't go. I did not want to take that many days off from work. I am glad that I didn't though, because like everyone else around here...I was sick with a stomach bug. I just want to say thanks to Mom! My Dad has also been really sick so she has been the caretaker. She drove to Tuscaloosa Sunday just to bring me Gatorades, and made me soup. She even cleaned and washed clothes while she was here! Thanks so much!! Here are a few pictures from Riley's trip.

The view from his bedroom balcony...how nice!

Riley after he did a jump. The weather was really nice..no jacket!

Why can't Alabama ever get pretty snow like this?

Too close to home

Last night Riley and I went to eat at his parents house and his Mom was telling me about the horrible robbery at Hudson and Poole, a local jewlery store that our neighor's parents own. She said that three armed men came in the store and held their guns up and started taking things. People were in the store and had to get on the ground just like you see in the movies. Who would ever thought that would have happened in Tuscaloosa! This all happened on Saturday around noon. Well, Riley and I were just in there the past Saturday and Riley had planned on going back Saturday (around noon!) to pick up my wedding band but for some reason he caught up at the office and decided to just go home instead of going. WOW! God works in mysterious ways! I know that was a horrible exerperience for everyone that was there; but thank God know one was hurt!

Finally a Blogger

Well, I have finally decided after reading everyone's blogs to have one myself. I don't really know why I would even attempt to start it right now when I need to be doing other things for my wedding but I guess that is just my bad habit of procastinating. It is getting closer... only 3 1/2 months to go! I do have most everything taken care of, I just feel like I still have a lot of little things to do. I wouldn't have been able to do it without my wonderful mother and mother-in-law to be! June 7 will be here before I know it!! The pictures I posted are a few from many of the engagement pictures we had taken a couple of months ago. I think Riley is very glad that long day is over!!
