liz is 1/4 of a century old BAHHHHH

I woke up that Friday morning (oct 27th) at dad's house in edmond. It was rather chilly (since it was 75 the day before). Mom and I ran errands all day. I got to eat lunch with my friend Genesis at Jason's Deli and it brought back good ol' memories with that darned good strawberry shortcake!!! I got to hang with Lo and Gabs too. Later I went to pick up cam from the airport!!! We headed on over to Chelino's in bricktown and I had a huge bday crowd with me!!! Matt, Laura, Andy, Chris, Emily, Blake, Mom, David, Lauren, and Brad (and of course me and Cam)!!! I had a grand old time and we had some yummy mexican food!!!!! We are dumb and didnt take any more pics. Those earrings I am wearing i got as a gift from Maggie! Yeah for bdays Boo for being old.

Sus and Chris Kramer 10.29.06

My little baby sister got married on sunday. It was in my grandma's backyard (on 5 acres). It was gorgeous and sunny and beautiful. There was hardly any wind, and the leaves were changing and falling and it was perfect. We couldn't have asked for anything better. She was a beautiful blushing bride. She made her dress from part of my mom's dress when she married my dad. She added a little pink satin ribbon to it and was barefoot :). Chris wore a brown siut with a pinkisk tie and was also barefoot. The colors were pink and brown and the flowers were daisies. There were 4 round tables at the reception which had vintage tablecloths on them and old vases/bottles with dasies and greenery from the yard. The cousins (well really Polly and some Lo) made the gorgeous kahlua cake with chocolate cream cheese icing, decorated with fresh dasies. Sus's friend from Lawerence (also a hair stylist) did her hair and make up. Mom and David did the reception food. Chris made the playlists and had his computer with some powereful speakers out in the back. Sus and dad danced to brown eyed girl by van morrison. It was just perfect. Christiane caught the bouquet and Stephen caught the garter!!!!! The drove off into the sunset in sus's car straight to the Arcadian Inn (a b&b in edmond). The later told me they ordered deep fork grill b/c they were starving. Polly made them a miniature kahlua cake with a bride and groom on top!!! Sus and I talked Monday and she and chris made it to NYC and they were about to take the subway to their b&b in harlem!!!! Yeah for marriage. 5 cousins down....2 to go!!!!!

ahhh!

First off.... my big toe on my right foot... the toenail is falling off. it's only the left side, so for right now it's pretty secure. I thought I had a little to worry about, until today. I looked down, and dang it if my middle toe on my left foot... the toenail was just hanging off like it was chilling. what else was I to do but trim the whole sucker off. Part of it is still there, like a cm or something dumb like that. But I have never had a nail fall off, b/c apparently I took care of my nails... until i moved to CO???? But I look like a homeless person (like Audra when she used to wear socks with holes to work like me and genesis... sus did you do that too?). All my dang nails are falling off. So... being the smart nursey i am... I started taking prenatal vitamins. No growth yet, and it's been like 2 weeks. Geesh vitamin company. Did you know there was this shiney part under you toenail that is kinda hard? well there is. Wanna see? You cant really tell in the pic, it just looks like my polish is coming off, but I assure you, it's my nail falling off. Gross. The other pic is how snowy it was a frew days ago. That snow all melted the next day, but then when I woke up this morning it was CRAZY snowy, and of course, it has all melted too. BOO. 8 more days until sus's wedding, 6 more days til my birthday, and 5 more days til i leave for the SOONER STATE!

SNOW!!!!

It's snowing here and has been all day (well since about 1200). I am pumped, and it looks so pretty. I just hope the roads don't freeze over. I couldn't find a pic of how pretty it is on the internet and was too lazy to take one. After I went to grocery shop at Target (and after I got a carmal apple cider from satrbucks) I sat on the couch and knitted all day. Sorry to say dad that I got bored making the scarf and switched to cameron's hat, but I am done now, and will switch back to the scarf!!!! It was wonderful being inside watching all the snow today, but it makes me scared to see what work will be like tomorrow (being on the trauma unit and all). PS... Julie Malecek will be here in 2 days! And it's 10 days til my birthday!

fat BUT sexy susanne

this is my pregnant friend susanne!!!! i can't wait til she has that dang baby next month! she looks so pretty! someone else get pregnant soon (not me)!!!!!
she is calling it eunice because that's funny, but hasn't really told me a for reals name yet... i think she should go with elizabeth???
i get to see her in a week and a half!!! woo hoo! yea for pregnant people!

scarf making

I am knitting a scarf, unlike Meredith on Grey's Anatomy, I don't need it to keep me occupied from boys. I am doing it for the sheer satisfaction of a job well done. Also, you can give them as gifts to people!!! So, I started by making a trial one, i guess for me, in case it was really bad, i would wear it. It turned out pretty well. Now, I am on scarf #2, it's for tha cambomb. He wanted brown and green stripes, and he picked out the yarn too!!!! His is over 50% completed. Next will be my dad's. Hopefully I can just give him his over Thanksgiving. There is a long list of people so far who want one, which makes me very excited that people think I can make something good enough for them to wear!!! I forgot to say that I tried knitting once last chirstmas time, and all i could do was make triangles... for those of you who knit you understand! Anyway, i decided i needed to try it again, so I started the week cam's parents came out. And low and behold, I got Lea Ann (cam's mom) hooked too! She was already on her 2nd ball of yarn before I got home from work one day! Go Lea Ann!!! So, here are some pics of the scarves. Cam's is still a work in progress and there are a lot of strings hanging down that i will put into place before i am finished (don't worry).

Also on a side note. I went to dessert at Darci's house last night and met with the other girls from seminary (rachel and heidi). They are awesome and I had a great time. yeah for girls!!!!

mom & david

So, they got married September 6, 2006. How cute are they. I think they are the same person. Wearing the same shoes, socks, shorts, key chains in their pockets, almost the same shirts too :), and they both have short hair and glasses :). How cute, 2 peas in a pod. This pic was taken by the pastor that married them in Lake Tahoe in the little chapel. CUTE! Cheers to mom and david!

Coors Brewery Tour

Let me just tell you how awesome the Coors Tour was! Cameron's family was in town (Mima, David, Lea Ann, Blake, and Alec), and we decided this was something we really needed to do.... which brought us there! Not only was it really interesting, but you got 3 free 8 oz beers, and a 4oz taster on the tour! Did you know Coors cold filters it's beer, so you are actually not supposed to leave it unrefridgerated, b/c that makes it lose it's taste. That also means there aren't any nasty preservatives in it, unlike other beers. Coors also makes Kilians and Blue Moon. Which I tried and from the brewery they taste amazing! So, when you come to visit, this is where we'll go!

10K october 1, 2006

Cameron, Steve, and Jackie decided it was a great idea to run a 10K. Thye got to run through (and on the field) of Mile High Staduim, the baseball field, and the ice rink!!! Cameron's time was 58m and 35 sec!!!! I was so proud of him! steve came in at 60 min, and jackie came in at 62 min! The cause was for disabled athletes. It was really fun. I stood at the finish line and cheered everyone on, which was actually really exilerating! Go runners!

schnooze and sus

Susanne Brooke Jones

&

Christopher William Kramer

together with their parents

annouce their wedding on

October 29, 2006 in the afternoon

FINALLY.

Also I thought Schnoozeberry McSchnauzerpants

looked cute basking in the sun.

Keep in mind it's like low 60s here and our heater and

fireplace were broken yesterday when it was in the 40s.

So Schnooze needed to bask (wearing her sweater).

So, all of you reading this will see that I am flying into OKC

October 26(the day before my bday) at 12:34pm.

If you want to hang out with me before I leave that monday

call me or email me!

I love you all. Congrats sus and brother.

PS: apparently her ring is really pretty!

it's a cold day in september

3. This is cam, my husband. He was trying to relax after a really hectic and stressful day at school, and along comes his wife to take pictures of him. I don't know if you can tell, but he has a biore pore strip on his nose, he is also wearing his sunglasses under the mask (to block out all kinds of light), and he is listening to a meditating thing on his palm pilot. Oh, Cam. He woke up after i took about 2 pics. So much for relaxing.

2. We had people over for dinner last night (holly and josh). And I was watching rachel ray that morning and she made these, so I copied her. They are supposed to look like sushi rolls, but they are fruit roll ups with rice crispie treat mix and a twizzler in them! They were not as good as you would think, but super fun!

1. Laura and Andy Froese send schnooze a sooner bandana to wear on game days, but she had to put it on for a picture :). She says thanks to the froese's b/c she does want to look like yoda (their schnauzer).

happy birthday

today there are two people that are very close to me that are celebrating birthdays. one is my new step brother matthew dale miller, and he is 23 (wait is that right? geez he's getting up there). the other is susanne renee rabus, she is my very good friend from oklahoma. i went to nursing school with her and then we worked together for 2 years at deaconess. she is one of the funniest people i know. she is super old, 27, plus she's having a baby!!!!

on another note, the situation with sus and chris is: they are talking to both sets of parents together (also so they can meet) on sunday. they are going to talk about a date within the october 20th weekend. so hopefully we can get our plane tickets on monday. i also went out and got a dress today. our options were pink or brown. i chose brown.
alrighty, hope you all have a great night, we are having holly (nurse from work) and her husband josh over for dinner. let me tell you what i made for dessert. i saw it on rachel ray this morning. it was rice crispy treats mixture, put that into a green fruit roll up with a twizzler piece in the middle and roll it up like a sushi roll! so cute! they dont taste as good as they look, but at least they are cute!

THE QUESTION...

christopher kramer called me today and this is what he said (don't worry, it's not a secret). "hey liz, how's it going? i was calling to tell you that i love your sister very much and i want to spend the rest of my life with her. i want you to know that i want to ask her to marry me!" HOLY CRAPPOLI!!!!! that's awesome (even though i already knew they wanted to get married and i told sus to tell him he better call and ask me). My reply to him was... (while in the midst of crying) that makes me so happy! but i hope you know you better treat her so amazing or i will have to kill you, and i will. yeah for love birds!!!!! this is a picture that will be changing soon... (the one on the right will become chris in the suit (hoping he will wear pants), and sus in a little more fancy of a white dress). I'll hold on to this one though :) she'll always be my little sis.

Guanella Pass, CO

So, obviously the aspens are changing! we hiked with a group from church. i met 2 girls that are really awesome, kristin and nina! hopefully they will be my friends! you can tell by the pics that it snowed! it was gorgeous and not even the pics will do them justice. i have to give a shout out to my friends at deaconess, susanne and audra!!!! you guys rock, thanks for reading my blog!!!!
