I'm back bloggers!

Here is a picture from our beautiful wedding! The weather was perfect! Everything was perfect! I definitely took my groom's breath away when he first saw me. He said he thought he was going to cry. My poor dad was super nervous and emotional walking me down the aisle and I had no idea. We got a little confused during the ring part but our family and friends just laughed. The reception was so much fun. Had technical difficulties cutting the cake. No one really noticed except they were bummed we didn't shove cake in each others' faces. We didn't have enough!


The honeymoon was everything we hoped for. The trecherous drive down highway 1 on the coast of California during a rain storm was scary. A cloudy day was spent making great friends on a wine tasting tour. The sun came out mid week in Santa Barbara. We went for a gorgeous bike ride and got a couples massage. Had a pool (ocean view) day and a visit to the Santa Barbara mission. Just relaxed in our robes getting spoiled in our little cottage at the Four Seasons. Had amazing ocean view meals!


Now its back to work and scrambling to get all our paperwork turned in and my name changed. Missed you all! Gotta read and catch up! xoxo

I'm getting married tomorrow!

I am so excited to marry the love of my life tomorrow! I know I have made a few points here and there to describe how awesome he is but I don't know if you guys get it! Let me count the ways: (if you need to throw up go ahead, sorry!)

1. He is hilarious. He makes me laugh until my face hurts.

2. He is caring. Even though I always have something wrong with me (headache, stomache ache, etc.) he will rub my back or whatever hurts and try to make it better.

3. He is loyal. He is a loyal employee, friend, and future husband.

4. Drop dead sexy!

5. He tries to be healthy. I know a lot of friends and family that struggle with keeping healthy because of their significant other and I am so blessed that he is down to try wheat bread and pasta and exercise.

6. He can pig out. Also love that he loves great food and doesn't mind splitting a pizza with me.

7. He loves children.

8. He loves animals.

9. He loves me for me and every flaw and crazy thing I do and say.

10. He is supportive. Even though he wasn't excited about working together he still got me the interview.

I could go on and on. But I'll stop there and get some sleep! I can't wait to tell you all about our honeymoon! Don't expect any posts for awhile I will have the do not disturb sign up!!

My first award!





Somehow I have gotten into this blogging community that seems to give a ton of awards around and around. I love these awards because bloggers you follow get nominated for awards and then they pass the award on to other bloggers. I love to read these new blogs and often end up following them. So it widens the circle! I had hopes that someday I too would receive an award! No idea it would happen this fast! http://ladytruth-happilyafterever.blogspot.com/ gave me this award. She is so funny and I love reading about her dates that her mom is making her go on!


The award is to 'honor those who write from the heart'. The rules state that I should tell you 10 things about myself you don't already know and then pass it on to 10 bloggers of note.

10 followers!

I am so excited! I had no idea how much fun I could have in the blogging community! I am loving reading about everyone's lives and opinions. I hope to be able to keep up with everything and entertain my followers! Please don't be shy! Let me know if you have any questions or story requests. I am so new at this and can use any suggestions!

Another cool day here in Southern California. I love it! My wonderful fiance turned the heater on for me this morning. I was kind of dissapointed there wasn't too much first time heater smell. I love the smell of the heater being turned on for the first time.

Had a wonderful, relaxing evening last night. I wish the Packers had won, how can we fix the O-line? Snuggled up on the couch with apple cider, my blanket, and bunny. The fiance was in the kitchen making chocolate chip cookies. Pure bliss!

Aren’t you guys busy with wedding stuff?


No! We aren’t! I know I should be patting myself on the back because I got everything done in a timely manner. But not having anything to do is driving me crazy!

The things to do after the wedding are stressing me out too. Writing thank you cards, getting my name changed, scrapbooking, and making an album. This stuff is bugging me because I can’t do any of it! Don’t gasp in horror if you are one of my wedding guests, but I have even started writing the thank you notes already. I did this for my shower and it made things super easy.

Luckily, I know that these things won’t haunt me on my honeymoon. I am able to relax when away on vacation. Its just sitting in the apartment with nothing to do that makes me feel like a bad bride.

Football!

As I am fixing my fantasy football team for this week I have an urge to have people over to watch the games this weekend. Then I remember the last two weekends. I love having people over to watch the games. But what ends up happening is we drink beer and eat junk food. Two weeks ago my fiance made brats and hot dogs. I think I ate a whole bag of chips that day too. Monday night we had sandwhiches and pizza from Dominos.

Besides eating junk food, the house gets messy! Two weeks ago Sunday there were beer cans and bottles everywhere.

I love having people over and relaxing. I wish football was on Friday or Saturday so I would have a day to clean up afterwards.

What are your plans for the weekend?

Yawn!



I am having a slow work day. I have been tired ever since Vegas. Everyone today is making comments "You look tired" "Need a pillow". So I finally went to get myself some coffee and there was only a little left in the decaf pot. We have one of those industrial coffee maker things. I am afraid to touch it. On my way back to my desk I thought oh I could blog about that. Then I was looking for pictures of people yawning and they had animals and I thought oh I wonder if there are pictures of bunnies yawning. Sure enough there are a bunch. We have a bunny and when he yawns that is the #1 cute thing he does. This is not a picture of Blue. But pretty cute little guy. Don't know how they were able to catch this pic. The yawns are difficult to predict and quick.



#2 on the cute list is sneezing. There aren't any pictures of this cause its mostly just a noise and then a surprised look after.


#3 is washing his face. Again, not Blue. So cute though!
