Got engaged Dec 2009 so the beginning of 2010 we had Megan Davidson and Megan Metcalf take our engagement pictures.
Jen, Sam and I ran in the Susan G Komen 5K race at Atlantic Station.
Mike and Candace got married! They had a pool party the day before and they got married at the Inn at Serenbe on June 20.
Kyle and Lindsay got married in Dalton on July 10. (I was a bridesmaid!) Before that we all threw a couples shower (BBQ, Beer, & Blue Jeans theme), went to Nashville for her bachelorette party and lingerie shower, and attended the bridal brunch and rehearsal dinner!
Greg and Sam got married August 21 at Brumby Gardens in Marietta, GA. (I was a bridesmaid!) Yes it was pouring during the entire ceremony and it was absolutely amazing. Before this we threw them a couples shower, had her bachelorette party in Charleston, attended her lingerie shower and the rehearsal dinner.
Avett Brothers came to Atlanta. What an interesting concert!
Steven drew this picture of me. I know, he has a major talent!
I tried on my Mom's wedding dress, and it fit. Didn't look very flattering though!
Went to Savannah for my bachelorette party. It was Oktoberfeset so you know we had some brats and German beer!
The day before Steven and I got married we both got baptized in the ocean (at the same spot we got married). We invited all of our friends and family who were there to come witness this special event. What a glorious day!
This was at our rehearsal dinner at Pompano Joe's. It was a laid back dinner on the beach with music, friends, family, and speeches! My Grandpa Cox also made us this wooden box. Inside it we put a nice bottle of wine (compliments of my mom), 2 plastic wine glasses, and Steven and I also wrote each other a love note that we sealed up and placed in there. There is a slit on the back of the box that we gave the option for anyone else to write us a note and slip it in there. At the dinner we nailed the box closed. On our 1 year anniversary we will open the box, the wine, and read the notes!
Steven and I got married on October 16 in Miramar Beach, FL (Destin). It was a perfect day. We had wonderful weather and our closest family and friends were there to celebrate with us. Our reception was at a groovy little joint called the Love Shack in Santa Rosa Beach, FL. A very special day that I will never forget... I got to marry my Best Friend!
We honeymooned in St. Lucia! No Pressure, No Problem!
We took a mud bath (on the honeymoon) and then about 2 minutes after this picture was taken I had my first heat stroke... in the middle of the jungle... in a 3rd world country. It was pretty scary. The ambulance was called but thankfully there were 4 nurses on our excursion with us that slapped me back to life. Poor Steven. I am going to try and not do that again to him.
Fright Night at Six Flags with some of my besties! It was fun trying to scare the villains when they were trying to scare me!
Mountains! Headed up to Scaly Mt, NC for the weekend with some friends. Good food, good music, good drinks, good 4 wheeling, good snow, good hiking, good company, and a bear suit!
Roger and Lindsey got married Nov. 6 at Villa Christina in Atlanta, GA. (Steven was the Best Man!) Before this we went to Nashville for the bachelorette party and lingerie shower (the guys went to Taledega in an RV) and attended the rehearsal dinner at Maggianos. Yum!
Thanksgiving. I am so thankful for my whole family (now officially including Steven's side)!
Good Bread, Good Meat, Good Gosh, Let's Eat!
Took my Mom to the aquarium for her birthday! We found Nemo!
Nora (born 10.10.10) is now a Castardi! Here is our family photo!
CBS Holiday Party Time!
Holiday Cheer gathering with some of my besties! Gotta love Christmas Time and Best Friends!
Santa was so good to me and got me exactly what I asked for... a new camera!
FARKLE! Steven and I learned how to play the coolest game ever... Farkle... from our awesome premartial counselors over dinner one night. We are sort of obsessed!
Our Christmas Tradition: Bundling up, rolling the windows down, grabbing a hot beverage, turning up the Christmas music, and riding around to look at lights!
Nora got a Falcons Jersey (compliments of a Build-a-Bear in our toy chest at my dads!)
Christmas Eve at Dad's with the Ingram Family!
Christmas Eve night and Christmas Morning with my mom. Best Cook Ever!
Christmas Day and Night at the Castardis. We had a sleep over because we got snowed in!
Booti took his best picture yet!
Our First White Christmas as a Family! (and 1st white Christmas for GA in 100 years!)
Our 6ft snowman!
Grandma and Grandpa came to GA and brought gifts from Indiana. We all loved our techno-hoodies!
Last but certainly not least... The Falcons led us into the New Year with a winning season. Superbowl here we come? Maybe!
See you in 2011!
