Happy Turkey Day Eve..

We still haven't gotten our professional photos for the wedding. Chris and I really need to call them about that to find out when we will get them..

In the mean time I did go through the photos I got from my mother-in-law Donnamae and I've picked the ones I like the best and loaded them online to share.. I'm also finally getting down to business about sorting through the over one thousand photos we had from the Honeymoon..

We got all our thank you cards written and mailed yesterday. I'm happy to have that done. We also did our first "Date Day" since we got married. Chris and I both came down with some nasty colds and Chris actually got a sinus infection so we've been sick for the past few weeks. We are finally feeling better. So we saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 on Monday. I thought it was brilliant!

Anyway my main reason for this post is to share what photos I do have so far.. I'll work more on the honeymoon pics after work today so I may have more by Friday. I'll let you know when I get them all up. There are a lot to sort through.. I promise I'll only put up my favorites!

I really love my new work schedule and we were told Chris should *fingers crossed* be moved to the same schedule by the end of the year. I hope it works out I really do, It would be so much more economical for us since we are saving up for a house if we can carpool again.

Without furhter ado here are the photos! I hope everyone has a lovely Thanksgiving tomorrow!

Wedding Weekend

Honeymoon

Chris and I are spending Thanksgiving with his Dad's side of the Family. We will go have lunch with my parents on Saturday. Christmas Eve is with Chris's Mom and Christmas day is with my parents.. We'll get together with Chris's dad again after Christmas as I'm sure.

Married!

I started my new shift at work today so I've already been here for over half my shift..its craaazy. What is more crazy is that I've been married for just over a week! The wedding was officially on Sunday Oct 31st, 2010 at 11am. I thought I'd be all freaked out and nervouse but nope I was too excited. Chris was nervous. His hands were still shaking even after the ceremony!

I hope to have pictures to share with you soon. So for now all I can do is really talk to you about it all.

First of all 3 of my best friends flew out for the wedding so I was able to see Cordy and her husband Chaim for a bit on Friday which was nice. We walked around the mall it felt like old times and Chris was able to meet them finally!! So happy! We had a lot of last minute errands that day to run. I really didn't think we'd pull it all off. We got home at like 9 that night.

We had the rehearsal at 11:30am on Saturday. It went well. We didn't think we needed all the parents there though so I felt bad because Chris's Mom and stepdad didn't come but everyone else did. They really didn't need to be there but it didn't look right. I wasn't expecting both my parents to come but my brother had missed his flight. He ended up missing the rehearsal dinner because of that. His lose it was fun. My mom wanted me to see as much of my friends as possible so Shayne and Aparna two of my best friends from college joined us at the rehearsal dinner. Shayne apparently really hit it off with Chris's Stepdad.. haha.

Chris, Justin, Kimi and I all go hotel rooms in Golden for the night before and night of. Justin wasn't feeling well after the wedding so they didn't stay that night, but it was nice staying so close and being able to ride up with them the morning of the wedding. We arrived on site at 9:30 and it took until about 10:40ish for me to get my hair and makeup done then I Had to get dressed and we got a couple of shots from the photographer of all of this.

I was so excited I thought I was going to cry before hand but the day of I just couldn't stop smiling all day! I had a lot of fun. We had one hiccup but its a story to tell. We had the fire alarm go off thanks to the omelete station! We had to all evacute the building and wait for the firemen to come. Chris and I got photos with the firemen though. So its a little silly story and nothing was really damaged they just had to move the omeletes outside.

Our cake was awesome! We have some in the freezer for our anniverary we will see how that goes.

Disney World was also amazing. I promise to have photos of everything to share as soon as I can get them up!

Our next big deal is buying a house. Thanks to some lovely gifts of money we recieved we are slightly ahead of schedule which puts us back on our original time table. I'm hoping by Feb to be moving. *fingers crossed*

I will try and keep you updated on everything as it happens!

Last few days = marathon of crazy

I figured because I've been planning this wedding since January that I'd be more calm now. Everything is set. I just need to pick up my dress on Friday and show up for the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner and the big day now. But my nerves.. oh my nerves.. I'm stressing about things I shouldn't be worrying about at all!!

I keep telling myself it will all work out and I'll be sooo happy come Sunday morning, and I believe it but its my nature to worry.

Chris and I are picking up his Tux tonight. We have to call the DJ and let him know three more song choices.

Cordy and Chaim arrive tonight. They are using a friend's house in Denver this weekend, I am so happy that they were able to do that, because of the Sabbath on Sat I'm going to see them tomorrow hopefully and then Sunday for the wedding. I also have only half a work day tomorrow. I was 2 hours short of a full day and I guess too many people took the day off anyway so half day it is. I also have to pick up my Dress and head band Friday and get my nails done, which the nails I'll probably end up going back out to do that evening. I have to call today and see if I can get an appointment.

Saturday Morning the rehearsal is at 11:30am because there is a wedding at the Boettcher that evening. Which is fine because then we could have the rehearsal dinner where ever we wanted.. so its a simple dinner at the Olive Garden at 6pm. Just family is invited. So Aparna and Shayne arrive around 2pmish so Chris and I are going to swing by and see them for about an hour or so that afternoon before running back home to get ready for the Rehearsal Dinner. Our plan is to Carpool with Kimi and Justin everywhere starting that night. They even are taking us to the Airport on Monday morning!

We have to be on site at 9:30am Sunday. The wedding starts at 11am and we'll be gone by 3:30-4pm because the wedding ends at 3. Then we'll go back to the hotel for a bit Cordy and Chaim hopefully joining us and then we'll go out to dinner. Then its back to the hotel with Kimi and Justin and just chilling till the next morning. Bright and early it will be off to the Airport! Disney World here we come..

We've already started packing this morning. I hope to finish by this evening. ^_^

I hope everyone else out there has a wonderful weekend!

Bridal Shower Pics!

I finally got my Bridal Shower photos and got them up! Feel free to check them out. I have lots more but I didn't think watching me open all the presents would be that interesting.

I can't believe how soon it is now. Our Bachelor/Bachelorette party is next Saturday already. Wow.

Bridal Shower

23 more days!

So last Sunday was my Bridal Shower. I think it went really well. I enjoyed it. I'm still waiting for pictures from people. I've asked my mom and Donnamae to give me the pictures they took. I tried to take pictures but after the first few minutes there I put the camera away and just enjoyed myself.. The Shower took place at The Dickens Tavern in Longmont, C0. It has a neat history and there were ghosts in the old photos! It was totally my kind of place and the food was good so I've told Chris we'll have to eat there some time soon.

Here are the only photos I have:

Bridal Shower

Isn't my cake great! It came from a bakery in Fort Collins. It was very good too. I need to get more pics and as I do I will add them to that album.

After the shower Kimi and I went shoe shopping and got her some great shoes. I finally got word that my Dress is at the Bridal Store. So I need to go in before work tomorrow for a fitting. That was the only thing I've really been stressing over. I still am worried. Until I get the finished dress in my hands and can walk out with it I'll be nervous about it being done in time.

Chris and I were able to meet with our Officiant on Monday. That meeting went really well. We also met with the DJ and finished paying for him. He was a lot of fun to talk to and I was reminded why we picked him (aside from it being his equipment at the Boettcher). We also picked up the rings! I really like the ring we got Chris. Part of me feels weird because his is soooo different than mine but thats because mine are family rings from his mom. He still says we can get my rings of my choosing. I don't mind waiting a few years. Its not like the rings matter as much as who I'm with. ^_^ and I like the rings I have they are really pretty.

I can't believe how close to the actual wedding we are getting. I have a list of things that still need to be done. I know it will all get done but I feel like I'm going to go nuts in the process. We haven't heard back from the florist about the changes to our order, we need to pick up the stuff for the favors as well as the last piece we need for the centerpieces, we need to go get our marriage licence and make a seating chart and make a few signs for the boettcher to help direct people where to go. >_<>

Well Back to work I go! Have a good weekend everyone!
