Regaining Happiness.

whoa. it's been a while. like over two months. just goes to show how much has happened in the past two months haha

well, i'm happy to say that, i'm happy again. it's taken quite a while but things are going well. and not like crazy, hard-to-believe great. but just, good. and that means more to me than anyone knows.

the biggest thing that's happened is that my one of my oldest friends AND my oldest brother (also my oldest friend) got married!

First: Paige's wedding was on February 16th. I can't even begin to explain how amazingly happy I am for her and how happy it made me to be able to be in her wedding party with some of our oldest friends.

Me and the bride

It was just a perfect day to spend together with not a care in the whole world. I even teared up a couple times.

Taylor, me, Kelley, and Anna

We got to spend some really great quality time before Paige and Jordan came out of the temple.


And then the real party started! We went to a luncheon for just family and us close friends. We sorta got bored waiting for a while though.

I missed her so freaking much.

Then we got to rest for a while and then they had the ring ceremony in the church. I actually fully cried at this point. I can't even tell you how beautiful and happy she looked and it just made me so so happy for her. Kelley even almost cried too haha.

Then was the reception and we got to decorate Paige and Jordan's car! Then we danced all night long and said our goodbye's. I love her. And him. And them together.

It was a great day :)

The next big thing was going up to Utah two weeks ago for Natedawg and Hoddie Bee's wedding!!

Things were just like old times.

We drove up on Thursday and drove back on Tuesday. Friday night was the rehearsal dinner at Rodizio's Grill and after that, I got to go to Provo and see all my old roommates again! Even Dylan drove down from Logan! It was most excellent.

Emma, Launa, Kaitlin, Lindsay, me, Dylan, Carley, and Jennica.

all these girls are so special to me and they gave me some seriously needed cheering up :)

I missed her so much.

The next day was wedding day and everything was crazy hectic. From the video not being finished and the groomsmen's ties being black instead of red to my sister spraying Mace in our hotel room while we're getting ready and my mom is finishing up the cake. Gotta love family time.

It was so amazingly fun though. And so fantastic to be able to see Holly and Nate's wedding. I can truly, honestly say that I've never seen Nate this happy before and the change in him because of Holly is wonderful. I think we're all overjoyed to have her in  our family now.

It was such a lovely day and so fun to see all my parents old friends and a lot of our family drove up! I had a blast :)

She absolutely glowed!

The whole wedding party!
Paul, Cam, Dale, Nate, Holly, Jenna, Sarah, Emily, Stephanie, Chelsea, and me.

Such a fun day:) The next couple of days were great too since Nate and Holly didn't leave for their honeymoon right away. We all just got to hang out and party together! 

I needed nothing more than to hang out with my other siblings. It was so amazing to have all six of us kids back together.

Now, Chelsea has less than a month till "Peabo Hector" Schramm is born. (we don't actually know his name yet) I'm so thrilled to be an Auntie for the first time! And glad I finally get to live up to the name I was given and be "Aunt Kate". Tears will be happening :)

Side Note: my jaw surgery is ON TRACK! after the minor hiccup of my orthodontist having unexpected open heart surgery, he's back and was able to see me on Monday and let me know that by the next time he sees me, he thinks I'll be ready for surgery! I'm so so happy and can't wait for it to be over with.

Like I said, I am happy once again :)
