Throw Back, our wedding!

*and yes, there are going to be a LOT of pictures*

June 13, 2009 was by far the BEST day of my life so far. Not every little detail went as planned (think one tent, five fans, a huge band, and lights with ONE outlet!!!) thank goodness my wonderful daddy and other men in the family knew what to do and worked hard! We ended up having to rent a generator at the last minute, and it sat out on the site....uggghhhh that was not in my "picture perfect idea" of what everything was supposed to look like. But, what do you do? We had to have all of that stuff...especially those fans! Regardless, the day was perfect for Mikey and me and that is what matters most. My parents sure threw one hell of a party, and that is exactly what we wanted! I don't think I will ever be able to thank my parents enough for our wedding. Looking back, there may have been a few things I would have done differently, but all in all, I was extremely pleased with the way everything turned out and I think (and hope) that all of our guests had a wonderful time, one of our main goals!

daddy and I shagging to "carolina girls"
leaving, so sad!! we only rode on the carriage to the end of the neighborhood and then jumped on the bus we rented for the wedding party and headed downtown! (well, after we went home and changed first, no way was I wearing that dress to a bar!)
being PELTED with birdseed, why again did I let people get as much as they wanted??
Singing/dancing to "darlin." A tradition my parents friends started years ago at weddings, this is always the very last song of the night, you should have seen our circle!! Redneck? Yes. Fun as hell? Yes.
I didn't LOVE being the center of attention...I promise!!!
This is "sweet caroline," thus why it looks like everyone is trying to touch me like i'm a god or something....
But, I don't want it to be over....gahhh so so fun!!! I think every 10 year anniv. should be another "wedding," anyone with me?

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
