Concert in the park

Saturday night my mom and dad invited Chuck and me to a concert in the park in Kearney. The 2 bands that played were classic rock bands from my mom and dad's era called Head East and Shooting Star. Chuck and I actually knew a couple of the songs they played. We got there 2 hours early so we got got front row seats. Some people were asking us if we knew the bandmembers because we has such good seats. haha. It was a beautiful night and it was so much fun hanging out with my mom and dad. My mom hardly sat down during the concert...she was right up by the stage taking pictures the whole time. We also ran into our old neighbor Jay and his son Josh. I used to babysit Josh and his brother Andy. Josh is now 21 and all grown up and is leaving for Iraq in a couple months. We were so happy to see him and his dad. Good luck Josh...we're all going to be praying for you.

My hubby and me

Awww...they're so in love!

My mom was rocking out the whole night.

You gotta love the hair!

It's so nice running into old family friends...can you believe I used to babysit this kid! He's so grown up!

Friday night bowling

As most of you may or may not know, Chuck and I have been bowling every Friday night on a league for the majority of our three year relationship. This summer has been the first league that we have not been on the same team. We both got a bunch of our friends together to form our own team. My team is called the Pinup Girls. We may be in last place, but we have the cutest shirts and we have the most fun! We are the loudest team at the bowling alley and definitely the most enthusiastic! I'm going to be sad when the summer's over and we have to retire our team until next summer.

4th of July

We went to Joe's house for a backyard barbeque for the 4th of July. We had too much yummy food and lots of fireworks for the boys to blow up. The guys also played a couple games of washers before the sun went down while us girls sat on the deck and relaxed and did lots of talking as always. We had a really great time. Thanks Joe for having us over!

Chuck couldn't get enough of the fireworks...boys and their toys!!

Joe's grand finale. If you look closely you can see his arm in the air signaling #1...he was so proud!

Us girls had a good time taking pictures and watching the guys handle the fireworks.

Happy 4th from the Schoenings!

Johnny's Farewell Celebration

Chuck's cousin Johnny came home for a couple days before his deployment to Kuwait for a year. We had such a great time spending time with family and friends. We had a couple barbeques, went to a Royals game and then had a night on the town to cap off the weekend. We love you Johnny and we are all so proud of you and everything you do for our country!

I'm so proud of my new cousin.

Our Wedding

So I decided to start a blog to keep all of our family and friends updated as Chuck and I start our new married life together. As most of you all know Chuck and I were married on June 6, 2008. It was such a perfect day with beautiful weather and lots of family and friends. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was so much fun. I have never danced that much in my life! Thank you to everyone who has supported Chuck and I through everything!

One Sunday June 8th we flew out to Ft. Myers Beach, FL for some much needed relaxation. We don't have any pics to post from the honeymoon because our digital camera was broken at the time. We ate lots of great food, layed on the beach, took lots of naps, and went shopping. We had such a great time!
