Vegas, Baby!

I'm heading off to Vegas tomorrow for my friend, Sarah’s bachelorette party and will have LOTS to talk about when I get back on Sunday, I’m sure! I’ll try to take some good pictures at Thunder From Down Under… if cameras are allowed that is! Ha-ha!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Love,
Cheryl

Just for Laughs

My Toastmasters Club is hosting a Humorous Speech Contest Thursday, August 28th at 7:00 p.m.!!!! And the best part? You're invited!!! (It's FREE to come watch)

Come enjoy a rollicking romp through misadventure and hilarity as told by our members in their true life stories of mistaken identity, untimely calamities, and improbable parenting mishaps. It will be a VERY funny night, unlike any other club meeting…

My club meets in historic down-town Gilbert in the original Gilbert Public Library.

Have a nice week!

Breaking Dawn Release Party

Tayler, Heather and I went to Barnes and Noble for the release of Stephenie Meyer's last book in her vampire saga, Breaking Dawn, on Aug. 2nd.

We had SO MUCH FUN, finished the book within days, and even started our very own book club!!! Let me know if you're interested in joining!

Here are some pictures from the event!






In case you haven't read this series, I HIGHLY recommend you do, and soon! It's basically the best series IN THE WORLD and once you read the first one, you won't want to stop! Vampires, love, suspense, and bizarre twists. What more could you ask for? I'm obsessed, I'm even considering getting a tattoo of a quote from the book, LOL....

Here are the books:


Have a great week!

Love,
Cheryl

Beyond Words

I had to step away from laundry for a second to post this. The way I'm feeling right now is beyond me. I can't breathe.


I'm so happy right now I feel like my heart is going to burst through my chest. My heart is so overwhelmed with love. Every day with Rob is amazing. I thank God every day for bringing him to me, for letting our love withstand anything. For teaching me to love unconditionally. Thank you, God, for giving me my own piece of heaven to have until I'm with you eternally. Until we're both with you. Not only am I happily married, but I'm so in love with the people in my life. My parents, my sister, my fabulous friends, my in-laws, my sister/brother-in-law, my extended family, the people I work with... everyone. God has placed so many great people in my life, I don't know what I'd do without them. I wish I could freeze this day in time. My mom told the story of how her and my dad met last night to us and it just shows me that when you love someone, really love someone, even at first sight, you're going to love them forever, and spend the rest of your life with them. And Robby, so you know, our love is forever. I pray that God pours even more of his grace onto us in the years to come.



I'm going to get back to cleaning.

Have a great week everyone, and know that you are loved by me.

My Memorial Day Project

Planting Herbs

Thanks to my wonderful mom, I had a fun new pot from Pier 1 to play with. I decided to plant herbs! (Yes, I copied you, Mom)

My mini-garden consists of:

-Basil
-Greek Oregano
-Chocolate Mint
-Rosemary &
-Lavender

As of right now this cute little fishy is decoration, but one day when I decide to cook and need fresh herbs, I'll have some!!!















Although this wasn't patriotic in the least way... I do admire those who are fighting for our country and my heart goes out to them. I pray that God watches over them and keeps them safe.

All our love,

C & R
