Things I loved about our wedding Part 1








10. Lemons and Limes...from the very beginning I wanted a green wedding. I don't mean environmentally friendly, but green. Dresses, cakes, etc. I suggested the lemons and limes pretty early on, but it really wasn't until about a month before the wedding people were convinced--someone saw it somewhere else. I thought it turned out pretty cool if I do say so myself. Also, note our favors--individual Colby Ridge popcorn. Yum!


9. The rehearsal dinner: we had a pretty low key rehearsal dinner, with delicious Chances R chicken and all the fixings. Then to top it off, we took off with the wedding party and guests to drink beers and bowl the night away! We looked pretty class in our snazzy bowling shoes! And it let everyone get to know each other before the big night.



8. Our flower girl, Andie: this girl cracks me up everytime I talk to her, she has such an awesome personality. She started practicing for this role from the time I asked her to be in the wedding--around November of last year. We discussed everything except how many flowers to throw--it took her about 6 minutes to make it down the aisle, as she was throwing a few petals on each side, per step. Needless to say, I was in tears from laughing as I walked down the aisle--she was a tough act to follow. I give my nephew props for sticking it out with her, even though he later told me he was very embarrassed :)



7. Ou DJ: I opted to go the discount route with our dj and hired this guy through a vendor at work. We met about a month prior to drop off our dinner music--string quartet versions of dave matthews, the killers, pink floyd--it was a huge hit by everyone. Then the party began, and I don't recall the dance floor ever being empty. And despite the technical difficulties--he lost our playlist, but I am now over it--who knew how telling me Meatloaf wouldn't be played could bring out Bridezilla for the first time that day? In any event, I got to dance to islands in the stream, total eclipse of the heart, and saw the first ever congo line to pussy control, especially when it was started by Erich's mom and her friends :)

6. Erich's Grooms Cake: Erich's cousin makes cakes in her spare time, and she was nice enough to replicate one of erich's guitars. It was awesome, and we got a ton of compliaments on it. Our cake was awesome too, but I especially loved this cake!

What the heck's a woombie?

So, today's post is dedicated to the freaky baby items I've found online (we are not expecting, but are expecting to be expecting sometime this year, so I wanted to check out the market on baby stuff). I'm not saying this stuff isn't useful, it may very well be the best item there is, but I think they're weird. And so, in no particular order... * Nosefrida Nasal Aspirator: it's a doctor invented and doctor recommended snot sucker. An electric snot sucker. With built in filters. My question is, who is changing said filters? Not me, thank you. Then again, with the manual ones I bet you have to empty them somehow. Eww. Also, this doesn't actually go into their nose, it sucks it all out from the base of the nostril--that sounds like fun. Oh, and did I mention the suction is coming from your mouth? * Zaky --the tag line? It's like leaving a part of you with your baby. Yeah, if you have big creepy muppet hands maybe. I think the picture says enough about t

September is here!

Well, it's practically here. Where did August go? Where did the summer weather go? I don't care, it's Fall weather here in Nebraska and I hope it's going to stay well into November. Ahh, September, it's my favorite month...and not just because it's my birthday month 29 on the 9th, it's kind of a golden birthday-9/9/09, so that means extra gifts, right? Right. We are very busy this month. This weekend is the first Husker game of the season, so my mom and I are getting out of dodge to visit my sister (I am displeased to learn that my brother in law is renting the game, I can't escape it!). We're going to a pirate festival, and a carnival, and to this awesome little kitchen store in downtown Independence. So excited for family fun. My nephew told me I can sleep in his bed, but only if I wear underwear...um, deal? Erich has many options that weekend, we have an engagement party in York, going to the game, watching the game...who knows how crazy he'll

Good Bye First Trimester!

I can't believe that I will be 12 weeks prego next week, it has gone by so fast. It's hellped that I haven't have any sickness, which I am very grateful for. I've kind of have the opposite; I am hungry but nothing sounds appetizing, so as a result I've lost weight. I got a nice little lecture from my dr last week, so I've been trying to eat more, and I think after this weekend, I have to have put on at least 10 pounds! Friday night we had Applebees where we polished off mozzarella sticks, I had a steak and potatoes and veggies, all so tasty! Then today we had Hu Hot for lunch, and just had McDonalds for dinner. I didn't say it was healthy, but it was definitely fattening! I seem to be getting my energy back, there for a while all I wanted to do was sleep. I could still sleep all day, but today I noticed I wanted to do some chores, so I guess that's an improvement. I've also had some lower back pain, which seems to be worse when I sit, which
