Hi everyone!!! I hope everyone had a VERY MERRY Christmas!!! I'm sorry I've been completely missing lately, but GAH, it's been crazy. We got back last Tuesday night from the honeymoon, and then I had to finish Christmas shopping, unpack, get our apt back in order, get my name change stuff done, and then we had family get togethers and a wedding to go to this past weekend. BUT I've finally got a little bit of time, before we leave Friday for my grandparent's house in Mississippi! Soooo, let the trip report begin!!
I am going to start with all the wedding stuff first, and then I'll prob start a new thread over on the trip reports board. But I didn't want to post all the wedding pictures there, so enjoy! I have a TON, you all will probably be TIRED of me soon. And it will prob take a few installments to get them all done!
Rehearsal evening...
that's Andy's mom in purple, and her sister and niece in the background. The lady in red is Beth, the wedding director, she was amazing. LOVED her.
my family. thats my hot brother to the left, and then my mom, and then my dad's parents, then my dad. This picture makes me happy.
we all look so thrilled huh?
lovely. So there ya go...the only 4 pictures that I know of from our rehearsal dinner. It was FUN though. Patrick (Andy's brother) did this crazy speech about how our ringtones for each other were "Dont Stop Believin" by Journey, and how sick of it he was after hearing Andy's phone ring. Then he sang it. And danced. It was hilarious. Our families were a little confused, namely my grandparents...but it was hilarious to everyone else, b/c they know the meaningfulness of it. And the song comes up again later...
Saturday!
Elizabeth and Christy insisted on coming to watch me get my hair done. They were hysterically wound up, all the ladies in the shop were cracking up...they acted more excited than I was. But I was TIRED, after getting no sleep all week, and stressed. Thus the ugly faces...
the veil...
all done!! I loved LOVED my hair. At first when she finished I wasn't sure, but I ended up LOVING it. And I love it in pictures, which is the big test. I tend to hate it when I see it in pictures later. Everyone commented on it too. It was so LONG and took forever. But its gone now...I chopped it all off the day after we got home, I couldnt wait. So it's now right above my shoulders. My wife cut I suppose.
