I DO!!

It has been a very busy few months, hence the no updated blogs! Well that and our computer crashed! Thomas and I were married on October 22nd 2010, in an small ceremony at my dad and stepmom's house followed by a reception at Joe T's! It was beautiful. The night before Thomas' parents hosted a rehearsal dinner for us at Walnut Creek Country Club, which was wonderful. My sister Sara created a slide show of Thomas and I and we loved it! There is so much we are thankful for during this time but most of all to our families and our friends who helped make our day so special! We left the following morning for Playa Del Carmen, my aunt and uncle have a place there so we are fortunate to be able to stay, its one of our favorite places! We relaxed on beach, got massages and ate some great food. It was hard to leave and come back to Kansas cold and windy weather. I have to say, even though its only been 3 weeks, I am loving being a wife, Mrs. Erika Edwards!

Been a long time...

The Edward's Men

Its been a long time since my last blog, mostly bc I broke the camera Thomas gave me and hadnt had new pics :( Well my sweet soon to be In Laws bought me a camera for Christmas!! Not only did I have a wonderful Christmas but I also moved to Kansas the day after Christmas. Before I left my friends "The Supper Sisters" threw me a surprise going away dinner at Campo Verde..I was very surprised and can not put into words how much it meant to me to have everyone there to say goodbye! My sister Sara also put together A going away family dinner. She cooked for us all and it was wonderful. Leaving so many special people back home was the hardest thing I have ever done but absolutley the best thing as well bc now I am with the man I love everyday! The first 2 weeks were very hard (it was snowing and in the teens but felt -10 for days) I finally have got into a groove here in Kansas and most of all just really am grateful I have such a wonderful fiance, he makes me so happy! Being away from my family and friends makes me appreciate them so much. I miss everyone and cant wait to see them soon when I come and visit. My sister Lana and her daughter Maya (MYMY as Thomas nicknamed her) came and stayed with us for a week. It was so wonderful to have them here, Mymy is precious and seriously the best baby I have ever been around. I have lots of pics to share!!

Too long since last post!

It has been so busy since my last post. Thomas and I had the best time with Lana, Lee and Maya in Puerto Rico ( I will post pics as soon as I get from dad's camera) They were the best hosts and Maya was precious. Lana was able to spend a lot of time with Thomas and she loves him almost as much as I do :)

I finally told my work Hexter-Fair and My boss Pat who i have worked with for many years, that I am moving in Dec to be with Thomas in Kansas. It was very emotional and sad, but ever since I told her I feel so much better about the move. I will be sad to leave everyone exp my family but I am so ready to be able to be with Thomas on a daily basis. Long distance has been tough but he is absolutley worth it.

I am trying to spend as much time as I can with friends and family before Christmas, I leave 12/26....my family wouldnt be happy about me moving but b/c its for Thomas they are very happy, they think he is pretty awesome! I am excited to start my life with Thomas and this new adventure im Kansas... ill get pics soon of Puerto Rico but in the mean time here is yet another cute pic of my sweet MYMY (our new nickname for her, thomas made it up)

San Juan Puerto Rico, Here we come!

I am so excited, Thomas and I leave on Wednesday to visit my sister Lana, Lee and her new baby Maya!! I cant tell you how happy I am i finally get to meet my sweet little Maya!! San Juan is so much fun too and I love staying with Lee and Lana , they are great hosts....Lee is an amazing cook. I know Thomas is going to love them as much as I do.

Circus, Wichita and Maya Pics ...

Last night my sweet friends Chadd and Sarah Miloud took my nephew Preston and me to the circus. We had such a great time, even though cotton candy was $12 and snow cones $15 - I couldnt believe it. Thank you Milouds for such a wonderful night.

I leave for Wichita , KS tonight to see my sweet fiance Thomas. Its been a while since I saw him last since he was sick around my birthday and couldnt come down to Arlington. I miss him so much and I cant wait to get there. He is taking me golfing with our friends Justin and Gina, this should be intersting since I dont play!!!

Last but not least I have more new pics of Maya, Thomas and I leave for Puerto Rico Sept 2nd and I cant wait to see that precious baby , Lana and Lee. !!

New Pics of Maya!!!

I wanted to share some new pics of my neice Maya Nicole, she is so beautiful. Mom, dad and baby are doing well. Maya has already been to the beach many times. Lana said she is a perfect Angel.

I also wanted to thank all my sweet friends for making my birthday so special. Thomas was sick and unable to come to town. My girls still made it special! Love you all :-)
