Jimmy and Beth are back from their honeymoon and you can preview their professional wedding photos at www.garymester.com. Scroll to the bottom of the front page and type in leep. then it will ask you to register your email, but you can see their professional wedding pictures. Soon I will have a video link from Bob Ridge at Indyvisual. He’ll post a link on his blog when their video is ready.

Jimmy and Beth had a beautiful wedding in lovely South Bend. The Impalas kept everyone dancing at the reception. There were 4 toasts! Everyone had so much fun! The newlyweds are in Italy for two weeks right now. I’m sure they are having a ball!

You can see the whole set of pictures that Rob and I took when not doing our usher and bridesmaid duties.

Mike and Diana’s professional wedding pictures are up (for those of you in the family who visit here to see what’s going on- even if I rarely post). Go to Pictage and in the search box under “Find an event” type in “Leep”. Pick the Event that says “Leep and Radomille Wedding”, not the one that says “haydee leep prints”. It will ask you for your name and email for the guestbook (I believe you have to register to see them) and then you’ll see the wedding pics. They are divided into sections like Reception, Formals, Rehearsal and Ceremony. You’ll have to use the menu to check out eah section. Their photographer was Jennifer Angeloro and her team and Jennifer and her assistants did a wonderful job!

You can also order prints direct from Pictage, so if you were there and there’s a cute shot of you that you want, you can order it direct from the site.

You can also check out Rob’s pictures from the wedding on my Flickr pages. Actually, I’ve been using Flickr to upload most of my pictures. So if you want to see the most recent pictures from my life, I would bookmark my photos on Flickr. If you are registered witb Yahoo! Photos or Flickr, you can order prints from Flickr and pick them up at your local Target.

I think the most recent pictures on my Flickr page are from Dylan’s First Birthday. So scoot on over there and take a look!

So, I know everyone else is probably like, “Oh man. Where have you been?” But I will blog about my adventures later*. First and foremost is to unveil my dad’s Father’s Day present.
I volunteered at an art event on Friday night. Basically, the paintings compete with each other and the losers are met with destruction unless they are saved by a philanthropic patron of the arts. It’s called Art vs. Art. It’s an annual event and it’s attended by lots of different people from all walks of life.
So, I saw a painting there that was going to be destroyed if I didn’t buy it, and I picked it out for my dad because…1.) He likes art. 2.) He likes planes. 3.) It’s blue and gold. 4.) I just thought he’d like it.
So, the painting that is my gift to my father is:

Happy Father’s Day MoRo!
*I am bad at blogging right now, so you should check out Rob’s blog while you wait months for me to post. He blogs almost every day about monster movies, records he finds at thrift stores, and stuff.

Well, Rob and I are taking the plunge and getting married next year.  I’m sure some of you knew it was coming at some point, seeing as whenever I talk to you,
you’re always asking, “So, when’s the wedding?” when I didn’t even have a ring.

So, now it is offical- I am truly the luckiest and happiest girl in the world!

Rob was going to buy me a ring for my brithday next month, and do up a surprise proposal, but we were in St. Thomas this last weekend and diamond shopping came up, so we figured we’d pool our resources and buy a ring there where we can get more for our money.

I am way happy, and Rob’s a little relieved that the pressure’s off him to pick out a ring since I picked it out myself. And we decided together, which I think really fits us.  We make a good team and are good for each other, so it’s kind of fitting we decided to buy my ring together.

I won’t have an elaborate proposal story or anything, but I don’t really care since I’ll have Rob for the rest of my life!

You can go to my Flickr photos (link at left) to see a couple more views of the ring and some pics from St. Thomas, including some of Mr. Punkin Head- Dylan!

I didn’t even pose him. He was just sleeping in my arms like that.

Here is my first nephew-Dylan Michael Leep. Born June 6, 2005!
