Wedding Wednesday - Cocktail Hour

When we decided to do the "first look" we were thrilled that this meant that we could attend cocktail hour and talk/mingle with our guests. This worked out great because we were able to talk and thank every single guests.


my lovelies worked hard that day. it was important for them to eat and keep their strength.


If I could reach out and take a strawberry and dip it in chocolate, I would.


We got engaged in Vegas. This toasting flute was bought the same day of our engagement at the location we got engaged.








I looked so pretty! Is that really me? Makeup does wonders!


I look like I'm ready for the party to begin & I was!


Next week, I'll begin our reception recap! :)

fyi: my dress is not suppose to look like that. my seamstress got it all wrong. the end.

She's Out Of My League

I pride myself in having somewhat decent taste in movies. I do not like gory movies because I hate to see anyone die a gruesome death. I do not enjoy scary movies because I do not like the way my heart beats and the fact that I have to watch the movie behind my fingers. It's a waste of money, I tell you.

I enjoy thrillers/action packed movies. Those keep me on my toes. I like to be kept on my toes.

I enjoy chick movies because, well, I'm a chick. I am sure that explains it all.

I love comedies because I enjoy a good laugh. I am that annoying person that when I find something funny I can laugh for hours. It could have been a scene that happened two hours ago. It pops in my head and I am dying with laughter all over again.

I really, really like romantic comedies. I am a huge sap & also a crier. I always thought I would make an amazing actress because a sad thought makes me cry. Trust me, I am not proud of this. I've been made fun of, plenty of times.

So on Saturday evening when the hubby and I decided to go to the Redbox to get a movie, I was super excited by what movie I would get to watch, that I missed in the theatre.

Sean & I didn't exactly find any movie that we could both agree on so when we saw "She's Out of My League" we hesitantly put it in our cart. I remember thinking, Hollywood is running out of good ideas. But the worst that could happen was that we would be out $1.00. No big deal.

Imagine my surprise when I couldn't stop laughing. I had that annoying moment I mentioned above. I don't think hubby thought it was that funny, hehe. I thought it was hilarious. I don't know if it was because I had a great day on Saturday or something. Maybe my taste in movies is no longer decent & maybe a bit questionable but I think I will get it when it comes out on DVD.

Don't judge me.

He asked me, "What's the occasion?"

And I replied, "Nothing."

how he shows he adores me

Do you ever stare at your husband with a smile on your face because it makes you so happy to know he is there? So happy to realize that there is a person who thinks you are absolutely perfect and kisses the ground you walk on. So happy that there is another person in the world who thanks their lucky star that they found you because you (as corny as it sounds) complete them.


*I love how he apologizes even when I'm wrong.
*I love how he eats what I make even if it tastes like crap.
*I love how he tells me how gorgeous I am even though he knows I've put on weight.
*I love how he laughs at my jokes even when I am not really funny.
*I love when I pronounce a word wrong he doesn't look at me weird, he knows this is normal.
*I love that he will go shopping with me for hours even though he would rather be at home watching tv.
*I love that he goes to church with me and enjoys it.
*I love that he loves God & has bible studies with me every night.
*I love that he doesn't watch scary movies when we're home together because he knows it freaks me out.
*I love that he always vacuums because I am allergic to dust.
*I love that he loves me, with all my faults and all.


I could go on on and it kinda made me think for a second. How do I show him I adore him? I know that I adore him but sometimes I am more concerned with the fact that he didn't do the dishes after I cooked dinner for him, didn't clean the cat's litter on the weekend even though the agreement is that he does it on the weekend or that he didn't do the laundry. Sometimes I am so concerned with what he didn't do that I don't stop to think of all the amazing things he does do.

I want him to know how much I adore him just like the way I know and, well, saying it is not good enough. I am going to show him because he deserves it even when I didn't have the best day. Why? Because I love my husband and I want him to always know.

Wedding Wednesday - Going to the Chapel

I can't believe that it is almost 9 months that we have been married. I feel like just yesterday I was still deciding on what jewerly & shoes to buy. Time flies when you are loving your husband!




I had 8 gorgeous ladies stand by me on my wedding day. But to spare you all their walks down the aisle, I just picked 3 ...


Look @ our happy my lil sister looks. Guess I wasn't a bridezilla! ;)



My ringbearer held the pillow like a brief case. I think someone forgot to tell him how to hold it & that there would be people watching him while he walked.



It's my time! My parents walked me down the aisle.


I spy Sean smiling at me.







We had our parents pray over our marriage


i giggled



we did God's Knot


& the hand ceremony


my girls feet hurt & they wondered when the ceremony would be over


beauty is pain. that's my motto.


You may kiss the groom. YES!


We're married. Planning is over. You're mine forever, sucker!


My lovelies finally rest their feet


And the hubs makes sure the license is signed. This thing is going to be legal & Faith can't change her mind! ;)



We are finally married. The best day EVER!

.losing weight blows.

Not too long ago I blogged about my goal to get back to my wedding weight. Well, I've been failing. If weight loss was school I would have flunked and already been expelled. I just could not get the scale to move. My issue is not heading to the gym. I wake up at 5:30 am to head to the gym because I am one of those strange people who enjoys working out.

My problem is stuffing my pie hole and not having the strength to say no to yumminess.

Well, I got a bit of a wake up call a few weeks ago when I went shopping with my girlfriend and the only thing I could stomach to buy were some accessories. The reason was because I absolutely hated the way I looked in everything I tried. I am not delusional and do not see a humongous elephant when I stare in the mirror, I just see a person who is not suppose to look this way. I am naturally a small person so having all this added weight on me is not very cool. I have some dresses in my closet that are screaming at me right now because I am not flaunting them this summer.

Two Wednesdays ago, I decided to choose what I ate wisely. For dinners I made salads, brown rice & fish, soup, even bought wheat pasta to go with our meat sauce. I told myself eat well throughout the week and then on Saturday eat whatever you bloody choose. It worked. I managed to loose 6 pounds in two weeks. This is more weight than I have lost in the last 3 months. Pathetic? Nah, kinda exciting. I am a woman on a mission.

Wish me luck that I can say no to this:


And YES!!! to this:



& for all you nosey people out there, the pictures were found via google images

i ♥ the weekend

This week, the hubs knew that we had to do something fun & relaxing with one of my great friends to get me out of my blues. It helped and I am back! I promise to spare you all and not vent on this blog for another month or so. Hehe.

(Thanks to all of you who commented on my last post. You guys are amazing & helped more than you know. I appreciate it so much).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To get me out of my funk we went to Saratoga Springs for the weekend. It was so much fun and we had a blast. We went to this amazing Mexican restaurant called Cantina and it is now my new favorite Mexican spot. Amazing, amazing food! It was so good I had to try every one's meal at the table.


Taking pictures of myself, Myspace-style, after I got pretty-fied.


This could have been a great picture but my camera stinks.


my amazing friend who can always, always make me laugh & her soon to be fiance (hint, hint)


i truly & deeply love this man.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(now for the best part & the new reason why i won't get to my wedding weight for a while)





this was my amazing burrito which i am proud to say that i ate every.single.bite. wellllllll, minus a couple of bites i unwillingly shared with my husband. what can i say? this gal loves her Mexican food.


While we were eating we saw a Hulk Hogan imposter & I stopped stuffing my piehole for a second made sure to take a picture of a dork, who dresses like this when it isn't Halloween.


I am so happy to have a friend who makes me smile like this after a rough week. Faith & Colleen forever.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And what do you know? Sean just burst into the office and is cutting into my blog time to tell me that our trip to the pool might not happen today because his best friend's wife just gave birth to their new daughter. OMG!

You know? The duck themed baby shower I went to not too long ago. I told Sean to ask his friend if they mind any company and if they don't, well, time to go pick up a girly bouquet of flowers & see a newborn! Besides, I didn't really want to get into a bikini after all the food I ate last night. So excited!

Hope you lovelies are having fabulous weekends! :)
