Now it's the boys turn. Our gentlemen will be sporting some vintage threads as well. The groom will be wearing a suit vest and slacks by Perry Ellis. While the groomsmen will be sporting dress slacks, dress shirts, ties, and suspenders. I'm hoping that two of the groomsmen will sport newsboy hats along with our ring bearer.</span></span><br />

We visited Alley Springs, where the water was beautiful and the mill was rustic and charming. We took a quick walk around the spring ooohing and awwing at the gorgeous waters coming right out below us in our own missouri. We have know seen almost all the springs in Missouri. By the way now after seeing Arkansas's springs. We by far have the cleanest and most beautiful springs.</span></span><br />

Lots of beautiful rivers and lots and lots of tiny towns. Next up on our trip was Hot Springs were we rode the ducks on the tri lakes and learned about absolute nothing other than where the psychic's building burnt down and where we should eat dinner that night, but still a ride in the water in a WWII duck is always a must in my book. I love the ducks ......quack, quack! We also visited Bath House Row where back in the day they used the water from the hot mineral springs to feed the bath houses with water to heal the ill and for spa services. It was neat to see the old spas.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCajEf7qLf49Qk9WU2S9-XXwEC7lZpGpjCbwdH7qsCA_PYhAfdK8Wllk5PJN8GW1c4XAKmYw76ESLnJ0Y5PR7i86F1nXwDeir5MX71t_ePLn2I1fKQJ04aonK_qmb5-BUoDiwQWyKXxcg/s1600/DSC08353.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCajEf7qLf49Qk9WU2S9-XXwEC7lZpGpjCbwdH7qsCA_PYhAfdK8Wllk5PJN8GW1c4XAKmYw76ESLnJ0Y5PR7i86F1nXwDeir5MX71t_ePLn2I1fKQJ04aonK_qmb5-BUoDiwQWyKXxcg/s200/DSC08353.JPG" width="200" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;">On from Hot Springs we headed to Murfreesboro to dig for diamonds at Crater of Diamonds State Park. We had fun searching, digging, and walking over the 37.5 acre 8th world's largest surface mine. Over 25,000 overall and 600 diamonds a year have been found at this eroded lamproite volcanic pipe. The largest being a little over 40 carats...sounds large enough to me. Most diamonds found at the Crater are under 1 carat but some are well over that. Btw...a diamond has to be 3 carats or over to cut it. A 3 carat turns into a 1 carat stone when cut...a unneeded FYI i'm sure :)</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;"><br />

The first little guy is a malimute, second is a border collie, third is a husky, and fourth is a german sheapherd. You can definitely see a trend that we like big strong hairy dogs...We want one with good energy! Plus look how darn adorable they are....it makes me want one like crazy! Here's some pics of our kitties as well. So they don't feel left out!</span></span><br />

It's a rustic colonial style brick ranch with amazing architecture. Coved ceilings, arched doorways, multi-pane large windows, and an acre lot for possibly a puppy next spring. I'll be posting interior design inspirations!!! this first set of pictures is for our living room. Were keeping the existing wall color which is deep purplish pink. With that we thought what the heck kind of colors can we have in there. The old design had green accents...looked pretty but reminded me of Christmas...so being that I work with a color wheel on a daily basis with my job in design I figured rustic brown furniture, lots of turquoise, and bits of gold. I'm super excited, let me know what you think</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #33ccff;">!</span></b></span><br />
