D & Aaron's Wedding

My baby sister is married! I love this girl so much and she is so incredibly modest that it was wonderful to be able to celebrate her and her new marriage to Aaron. I flew in to MN a few nights before her bachelorette party. Stacy and I co-hosted but Stacy definitely picked up a lot of slack with me in NC! We started at Stacy's house with a wine tasting and food pairing. We chatted, had played games, ate yummy food that the wedding party all helped with, opened gifts and then jumped on a party bus and made some stops at a few bars.

 

The last Busch girl standing ;) 

 This girl always has a smile on her face!

 

 

Wedding party

 

It was so nice to be in Minnesota with plenty of time to help out with last minute wedding details. I missed out on all of Danielle's showers and DIY projects leading up to the big day so I tried to help where I could!



The Thursday night before the big day we met for nails, wine and some dinner after.



 

The Groom's dinner was in the Shetka's backyard and it was wonderful!

 

I love that my brother, husband and bros-in-law all love each other so much!

 



Less than a year until Jennifer officially joins the family!

 



Cousins!



The wedding day was perfect! We started with mimosas, some breakfast and hair and makeup at my parents' house.



 

Then over to the church to get dressed and start the pictures.

Meredith (and her cousin, Evelyn) made the cutest little flower girls.



After the ceremony we jumped on the party bus for drinks and more pictures.



 

Love these two! I couldn't have picked a better guy to marry my sister. Aaron has been a part of our family for a long time so it was great to finally make it official!

 I seriously have the best parents. Tyler and I would rather hang out with them (and the rest of the fam) than our friends ;) They are the reason all their children have strong relationships/marriages.

And because I didn't feel like I took enough pictures, here are some more from Danielle and Aaron's photographer:

 

 

 

Another Recap

I was HORRIBLE at taking pictures the last few months.  I also barely noticed it was fall because the weather is still in the 80's here (yay!).  I want my fall weather to come in late October/November please.  Here is a quick recap of the end of Aug./Sept.:

In August, we made our way back to Atlanta to spend another weekend with Sara and Jasper.  We had planned to meet in Savannah but had to change last minute when Jasper was a little under the weather.  We had a great time. We met up with some of Sara's coworkers for drinks, toured the CNN building, walked around some of the parks, and had some great dinners.  The weekend went way too quickly.  

We spent a lot more time at the beach.

We are loving our Evie pictures Stacy sends us and the start of football season!

Tyler's first overnight duty - and yes, he has to carry a gun.  Hopefully he won't get too many of these since he is only trained in teeth!

My birthday date

We celebrated my 28th birthday!  While I was sad to be away from all my friends and family, Tyler and my co-workers really made my day.  I arrived at work with presents waiting and a birthday lunch.  Tyler MAJORLY spoiled me.  He took me to dinner at the marina, bought me gorgeous flowers, booked a massage for me and gifted me golf gear.  We followed it up with a golf date at one of the courses near us and it was so much fun.  We are hoping to get out more this fall when it cools down a little.

Tyler made a trip back to Minnesota for his good high school friend's wedding.  I asked Tyler to take a bunch of pictures...fail... but luckily our friend, Kim, sent me texts and snap chats all night so I almost felt like I was there!

Tyler was also able to spent time with his family while in MN

 Love the sunsets on the beach

 I drag this guy out for a walk on the beach as often as I can

Dentist in action 

I went to the dentist last week and of course Dr. Yahnke had to bring his supplies home to double check the treatment plan they gave me.  We have been very busy with more house projects because we wanted to finish them before our fall visitors! Updates will be on the next post.
