Wedding Recap: Picture taking time!

Hello friends! Okay seriously this no work blogging thing is just driving me crazy! Okay now that I've got that out on with the wedding pics....these were taken right near our apartment and I just love the coblestones and knew that I wanted to get lots of pics on them! So here we go....


The picture above was pretty funny, the photographer handed up these frames and told to do something funny, didn't really know what to do, but it turned out cute!


I love the affect that she put into this picture (she got a lot of pictures of us walking away because she was following us)

This is my favorite picture from the whole wedding, I just love it! It's so romantic and I love the fountain and the way he's dipping me!
I love this picture, I actually jumped up on this ledge....it was pretty high, especially in my dress! But I like the way it turned out!



Runaway bride! haha!



Me and my girls!

Him and his boys!

This is my SIL boyfriend haha, he was such a trooper, while we were taking the picture SIL handed him her purse and bouquet to hold.....what a guy!

We're walking to the reception....it was right up the street : )

Looking lovingly at my husband....eeee, husband!

I saw this on a wedding website (it was a recreation of a beatles cover I think) and absolutely loved it and wanted to do the same so we tried it (a couple of times, my favorite is the other one)


I like this one better!

Yay! Onto the reception!!!

Next up......reception details! ;D

YA'LL!!!..........

Are too funny!! I would like to state for the record that I'm not preggers! haha! Although I have to give it to you that I probably would have guessed that too, I shouldn't have said a big change, I guess it's more of a small change but it was big to me at the time!!
Okay here is a picture of me before.....(pay no attention to the mountain of crab nachos in front of me!) I swear I didn't eat all of them!! ; ) They were some kind of yummy though!And here is another pic of me taken last weekend at this sweet girl's birthday party! Notice my lovely two tone hair!
And for the change.............

TA-DA!!!! I CHOPPED it!!!

I know so not what ya'll were thinking but that's my big change! I cut my hair, I joined the post wedding choppers! ;D I'm still getting used to it and I promise to take some better pictures when I'm a little more fresh!

Please take note that I just took these photos when I walked in the door after work!

Preggo! HA! Ya'll are too funny! ;D

Okay on to the reason that I haven't blogged in almost a week!!! I get into work on Wednesday of last week and what do you think has happened!?!? My stupid work has blocked me from blogging!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I almost had a nervous breakdown! I can't sign in to my account at work and I can't see any of your blogs unless I know your address, i.e. I can't click on any of my blog roll, I can't access my google reader, and most of the times I can't comment! I think I've spend a considerable amount of time trying to fool the system and get around it but it's not working :( I'm so sad, no more blogging at work! What am I going to do with my day??? Work??? Just kidding I actually do work but I love to take a break and see what you lovely people are up to!

Tres tragic! And to make it even worse I got home that night only to find that our internet at home was down!!!! aaaahhhhh! So I just now got it fixed.myself.no help from hubby. I'm awesome! So now I have to spend the 12 hours reading all of your blogs and seeing what's been going on with your lives! I know I've gotten some awards and I promise to post them soon! : )

Hope ya'll are having a fabulous Monday!!! ; )

Trying to be a better Person....

Okay well that might be a little dramatic!
What I'm really trying to do is update my blogroll! I'm undergoing a little project to put all of the blogs that I follow on my blog roll and I would love to also put all of my followers on my blogroll as well. I want to share the love.
And I don't know about ya'll but I follow a fair share of blogs and I have a nice number of followers (thank you very much sweet people) and I'm hoping to be a better blogger and comment more on people's blogs!! And I'm thinking and hoping that this will help me do that!
So if you don't see yourself on my blogroll then leave me a comment and I'll be sure to add you!
I've set my blogroll up so that the first 25 most recently updated blogs will show....sharing the love ya'll! : )

Back to the Wedding Recaps: Ceremony

Good Morning lovelies! As soon as I said I have spring fever, what happens?.....we get hit with a foot of snow! Go figure!! I took some fun photos that I'll post once I get them off my camera!
Went and saw Taken on Sunday afternoon and it was awesome!!! Very edge of your seat movie!! And then when we came out of the theatre and everything was covered in snow!!! It was very exciting!
So on to the recaps......Here is our piper!

My daddy and me at the end of the isle.....he doesn't look very happy.....

No explanation needed here....



This is one of my favorite pictures because the look on hubbys face is priceless....he's putting the ring on my finger and it's like....HA I got you now!!!! haha
Lighting the Unity Candle
Helping me down the steps
The kiss....hubby decided to be cute and lift his leg up as we kissed....he grabbed my arms and I knew what he was doing because he put some of his weight on me and everyone started laughing! Unfortunately the photographer didn't get it but don't worry it's on tape!!!
Hubby getting a discreet high five from someone!


My sweet Grandmama, she's 86 and she kept saying that she wouldn't be around for the wedding and I kept telling her she would. I was so glad that I was right! I didn't get emotional about anything up until that point and you can see it on my face in the next picture.

Hugging my Daddy
