Thank You

Hello everyone!
I just want you all to know that I have been working on the thank yous since...well the wedding and I'm finally getting the first wave of them out today. So be looking for yours in the mail. The next wave should be out tomorrow but I'm waiting on a couple addresses. I'm sorry they have taken me so long, but I really have been working on them. I know you'll be happy when you get yours in the mail. Love you all!

Pie Time!

Last night Rich came home from work and informed me that he lost at CatchPhrase at work and had to bring something for everyone to eat the next day. He decided that he wanted to bring an apple pie so this morning I had a mission. I wanted to make the best looking and tasting apple pie they ever had...I have no idea if it actually worked out that way but I sure put a lot of time into this pie today. I thought that it would be pretty easy because I've made pies before and then I noticed that we had no pastry blender. It was okay though because I just used a fork and my hands and it worked out pretty good. Then it came time to roll out the crust and well...we have no rolling pin. Luckily I used my noggen and used this tall bottle of balsalmic vinegar and wrapped it in some plastic wrap. I rolled out the crust filled the pie plate with apple goodies and then made a little lattice top for it. It seems that every time you double the recipe you still don't have enough for the top crust. That's ok because a lattice top is quick. Then because I had a little bit left over and I didn't want to throw it away (and I wanted to cover up a couple little mistakes) I wanted to make little shapes to put on top. I realized we have no cookie cutters so I made a little star and then cut them out in the crust... After baking the pie it looks and smells delicious. I hope everyone at his work loves it.

And of course I had to take a picture of my amazing pie :)

Check out that golden brown touch on all the edges.

Game Time...

Last night Rich and I decided it was time to get the games out now that we have room to play them. I of course went for the scrabble set. I was completely prepared to loose because we all know that Rich knows more and better words than I do. I got off to an early lead!! After loosing a few words that I thought for sure were words I ended the game and well... We'll let the board speak for itself...

(This one's for you Meg)

Hooray for Pictures!!

Last night, Rich and I went to pick up the wedding pictures. We are so happy with the way they turned out. They are better than we could have hoped for. There are a few pictures below that I picked out but you can see the whole selection online (look at the post that's titled PICTURES!!!) If you would like any pictures, there is a link on the website there to order some and they are at reasonable prices. And if anyone needs a wedding photographer...or just a photographer in general for anything, we highly recommend Travis Johnson Photography.

Enjoy!

Memories....

So I was on Meghan's blog and well, she sucked me in. Here's a little game to play...

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember -- it can be funny, weird, awkward, random... whatever!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you!
If you have a memory you want to leave, but don't have a blog of your own, feel free to leave a comment anyway!

PICTURES!!!

So I'm a little excited today...our wedding pictures were posted online and they are simply amazing! If anyone would like to see them you can go to the website and check it out. Here's the address:

http://www.tjphotography.com/clients.htm

On the right side click on the **Click Here** spot and we are on the very bottom "Allyson & Rich". A box will pop up and the user is Lammers and the password is July05. Once that is put in the page should come up and there are quite a few pictures.

I hope that you all enjoy them as much as we do!

Home!

Well, I think the wedding went wonderfully. We got back from the honeymoon late on Saturday night and just spent most of yesterday relaxing before Rich had to go back to work today. I've been running around the house like crazy today cleaning and making lots of phone calls. I'm still not done yet but I thought that I would take a little break before getting back to work. Rich came home for lunch and said that the place looks better so I guess I'm making some progress. When I get the apartment cleaned up a little more I'll take some pictures so that you can see our first house!

Well, I should get back to making the house look good. I think I'm finally done with the little time consuming things and am ready to make some big dents in these boxes still sitting around. I hope you all enjoyed the wedding and for those of you who couldn't make it, I'm sorry and I will try to get some pictures up as soon and I get some pictures.
