I get by with a little help from my friends...so true.

i adore my fiance, jace. absolutely adore him. he makes me laugh, cry, and overall, he makes me a better person. but, along with him--i also have amazing friends.
my mom, along with jace, is one of my best friends. we've been so close for so long, and she is the first person i call after a bad day. she's amazing, and i can only hope to be like her someday.
she is also my maid of honor. i am thrilled that she will be standing next to me on my big day. some might say it's a little different..but i'm ok with that. if there is anyone i want there for support-it's her.

and then there is the wonderful miranda. such a doll, and so fun to by around. if there was anything good that came out of my college biochemistry class, it was her. we attended dental hygiene school together at north dakota state college of science, where we struggled through the ups and down of the dental world together. she just recently got married, and i had a blast at her wedding. she is funny, and motivated, and such a great friend.

yes, that's her. at her wedding-ready to brush her teeth. typical hygienist.

and then liz-another dental school classmate. i swear i might not have made it through without her and miranda. liz is one of the most fun girls i have ever known. she can make a night of sitting around doing absolutely nothing, far too much fun. and that's what i love about her. she is an absolute thrill to be around and i am sad i don't see her often. she lives in grand forks, nd, along with miranda. they work at the same dental office. i am very, very jealous! :) liz will be getting married in january of 2010 in hawaii---how fun!!

this is liz and her fiance, joe. i have beautiful friends.

jace's sister, tessa, is my 4th, and final bridesmaid. she's a senior in highschool, and has faced alot of up's and downs along the way. i am so proud of her for getting through them with her head held high. she is outgoing, and funny, and is a wonderful mommy to my adorable nephew. we haven't always seen eye to eye, but i'm sure at some point, all girls go through that. she's great, and i'm glad she'll be with us to join in on the fun day!

taken by me..i adore photography and would love to make it a career someday.

well, those are my girls. the one's that get me through some of my days. every girl needs some great girlfriends, don't they? i figured they deserved a post in this little blog, because they will get mentioned alot more in the posts to come...

jace chose his older brother as best man, a friend, and my two younger brother's as groomsmen. i feel so blessed that he chose my family to be a part of his side, it will feel so great to be surrounded by the ones dearest to me.

hope you are having a wonderful week! i am off to minneapolis tomorrow-hopefully the hotel will have some free wi-fi, or i might to crazy!
