We have had a REALLY slow day-so slow that I even started pulling Christmas decorations out to start putting up in a week or so! For those of you who don't know-Thanksgiving and Christmas will be celebrated in days of each other at the Brokaw house this year (enough said)!
Here are some Halloween Pictures of the family (some just taken on Halloween-not dressed up)
Pumpkins-Logan's is the left, mine is on the right!
This is Rusty on Halloween day posing in his costume!
This is little Lola napping on the climber-she is not much in the Halloween Spirit-we will see how she is for Christmas! This is Rusty and his final costume posing with the awesome pumpkins outside!
This was post pictures and him decided that he wanted to be bad and pay us back for taking so many of him!
Our one attempt at a Halloween picture! In other news today-we ran around and got things for Logan for his trip. We also went to the PX (on the army base-kinda like Walmart) and got his only requested Christmas present. If anyone knows me well, I am horrible at keeping surprises from Logan. As with all the other ones, I gave this one away as well. He convinced me to give him his present now and then wrap the box-so that's what I did!
Here is a picture of the little bird helicopter! Happy Halloween Everyone!
So much has happened in the past three months. We were married in our official wedding ceremony in Colorado on September 4th, 2009 at the Red Lion Restaurant. Our ceremony and reception were everything we had hoped for! To see more pictures please see my facebook-this is just one of my favorite pictures that Wyoming (our sister-in-law) took of us!
For those of us who couldn't joint us I am going to post our vows and ring vows that we recited to each other. Aunt Rere and I pieced together the vows from different examples that we had seen until we got exactly what I wanted. The ring vows were done similarly but in the end I feel we wrote them to fit us as a couple and what our rings represent when there is a vast distance between us!
Vows: I (Nicki/Logan) take you (Logan/Nicki) to be my (husband/wife), my partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our union and love you more each day. I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together. I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall live.
Ring vows:
(Logan)Nicki, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and faithfulness.
As I place it on your finger, I commit my heart and soul to you.
Let it be a reminder that I am always with you
and will carry your love in my heart
when I am called
away.
(Nicki)Logan, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and faithfulness. As I place it on your finger, I commit my heart and soul to you. Let it be a reminder that I am always by your side when we are apart and will be waiting always when you return. In other news-we have just been back enjoying married life-again for the second time! I got a promotion at work, to manager. My life has doubled in business, but in a good way-also helps up in the financial department! Logan has been keeping busy with work and training-he loves his job!
Recent home projects include painting accent walls in the house! Here is the first room that we completed-our living with a deep red/maroon accent all.
We have plans to paint the bedroom a steel blue color on one wall, a red accent wall in the kitchen, then Logan has big plans for his bonus room/future theater.
Starting in January I am headed back to school for a Masters in Teaching program at the local school, Austin Peay State University. I will be in school full time for one year and then have 6 months of student teaching to complete. I am excited to head back to school and even more excited that I will soon be able to start teaching my love of chemistry to students!
I think that about catches everyone up in the last few months! I will try to keep everyone updated on our lives better than I did before!
