The Big Moment!!

 This is the moment I've been waiting forever for! What a night. After getting stuck for 2 hours in rush hour traffic on the way to New York City and missing our dinner reservations, we each grabbed a slice of pizza for a grand total of $2.00. lol. Then we rushed off to the Majestic theater to see "The Phantom of the Opera." It was wonderful!

   After buying a map, we walked quite a ways to the Empire State Building where Jonathon  intended to ask me to marry him.... and they were closed! 2 hours early! because it was too full. He had to improvisse obviously.... So we ended up riding through central park in a horse drawn carriage.

When our driver was waiting to take a picture of us, Jonathon brought out the ring!

Even though I had picked out the antique syle with filigree, I was still surprised at how breathtaking they both were! the main diamond is from Jonathon's mother's ring and one of the side diamonds if from my great grandmother's ring, given to me from my great grandfather on my 16th birthday.

Shawn and Lauren Poupards wedding

 At the wedding Reception, resting from all of the crazy dancing we did!!
I really liked their idea to rent a photo booth, like the ones you see in the mall.
As the night wore on, the pictures in the photo booth got a little more crazy.
Each person or group got to keep a copy of their picture and the other copy
 went in a book that you sign. Good idea!

  



                                          The reception dinner.... I was squeezed between my cousin Jeremy and Jonathon who were constantly leaning over me to talk to eachother. lol. We had a lot of fun teasing eachother up until Jonathon's cousin Shawn, the groom to be, gave a speech that left all of us with tears in our eyes. He made a point to say how every single person there had affected his life and made him who he was and why he appreciated them. Even all of the men were crying! It was very touching.

So adorable! Chris designed her own costume as Glenda the good witch and she

dressed Kimberly up as Dorothy. She even had a basket on the wheelchair with a stuffed dog in it!

Wish I was as creative!

More Halloween Fun!

I had so much fun painting this! It was a trace on pattern of course. I'm not quite that creative.
What actually happened was that I attempted a difficult pattern to carve and got fed up with it. lol.
So the other side of this pumpkin has half of frankenstein carved out. No one has to see that though. lol.
Can you tell I have too much time on my hands? Way too much time. At least on the weekends that is.
Getting up at 5 in the morning during the week means I don't do much of anything when I get home from work.  Feel Free to copy my pumpkin!

House in the Fall

 The Living Room

 These bats took up residence in our trees and we decided to let them stay.

These are the dead bats.

The back of the house. Like my pumpkin lanterns?

Our Home!

Melissa, the home pictures are for you! Sorry it took so long to get them up.
This is Jonathon's house.... it's very spacious. It sits on about ten acres, five of which are in the front and 5 behind the house so we sit off the road a ways. It feels like a family should be living in it because it's so big. Hopefully, we will have a family to fill it with one day. :)

Annual Cieslinski Halloween Party. The theme was Celebrity Zombies. Jonathon dressed up as Michael Jackson on Thriller while I was a Dolly Parton zombie
