Is that real?

That is what went through my head today in seconds. I was over at Daniel's parents this afternoon playing with the kids and helping decorate cupcakes for Bailey's birthday party tomorrow. Bailey and I saw that Daniel was in the yard with Dora. So I grabbed B and went out the back door down the stairs. When I was about to step on the grass I looked down and I saw a snake. First thing that went through my head was that the boys put the fake snake on the grass to scare Ash or Donna, but then I saw the tongue move. I freaked I squeezed on to B and I repeatedly told her, "It's okay, it's okay." I think just to reassure myself. haha While I was squeezing onto B and running to find Daniel (it was quite the sight I'm sure) B asked "Are you joking with me?" and I answered "No sweetie there is a real snake". After I found Daniel and tried to tell him what was going on he walked to the rescue to the back of the house. I ran inside to tell Ash and Stan was going on and to grab my camera.

Standing back because the snake was in attack mode.

Trying to get it out from under the bush.

There it is. YUCK!

We all were enjoying the few from FAR away! :)

This is not your small Garter snake.

What should we do with it?

YAY!! Thank you Daniel!

When I say I'm scared of snakes it is an understatement. I have screamed and ran when seeing a stick on the ground. haha I feel really bad that I was holding B at the time because I think I have made her scared of snakes now too. Well we looked it up and it was just a Garter snake. It was a Common Garter snake. It was a eventful afternoon.

Wedding Planning...

While I was organizing my thoughts and papers of wedding planning I started to laugh at myself.  Wedding binder, Excel spreadsheet ( that is my life right now), Sex and the City (the movie), large tea, and of course wine. 

This is what my wedding planning has looked like lately. Besides the XL drink and Sex and the City. :)

Going to Lincoln, NE tomorrow evening to FINALLY see my sister and Sean's wonderful home and get to go wedding dress shopping. YAY!! I think I am more excited for her to try on wedding dresses than I was to try on them for myself.

Daytona Beach

My family and I took a short vaction this past weekend to Daytona Beach, FL. This was going to be the last family with Krista and I's last names still be Lierz. We were really excited to leave but we had to leave super early on Thursday morning. When we got to the hotel we got into our swimming suits and headed out to the beach. I am not too big on the beach and laying out getting hot but I managed since the highest temperature when we were there only seemed to get up to 95. It was really funny talking to people and them complaining about the hit. I would start laughing and say it was a lot cooler here then in Kansas and they were shocked! Here are some pictures of our 4 day vacation. My sister and parents too more than me so I'll end up taking them and posting them sometime.

View from our hotel room.

Heading out to dinner.

Joe's Crab Shack at the end of the Pier.

Hanging out reading Fifty Shades with a beautiful view.

Sisters. (Excuse the sleeked back salt hair)

Dad and I.

Mom and I.

Boats that were right outside the restaurants. The one
on the the right was named "In Therapy" I thought it was cute.

It was bittersweet leaving. :)

Hope you have a great day and rest of the week!
