Over My Head...

Well, I may or may not have gotten in over my head when I said I'd post a picture a day.  Do I want to?  Yes.  Is it possible?  Not really.  Maybe if I was 37 and had been married ten years and knew how to balance caring for my husband AND daily blogging... but I'm not there yet.  In fact, this is, as TBH called it, "adjustment week."  We are figuring out how to live together, serve each other, and love each other, all while balancing jobs, bills, and housework.  I know, I know, you're thinking, OK, big deal-- like EVERY OTHER COUPLE EVER TO EXIST.  And you'd be right-- there's nothing special about our "adjustment week."  But it is all new to us.

So I will update my blog when I have time, which hopefully will be more than once a week.

And when I have even MORE time, big changes will happen on this blog, you'll see...

Heirlooms...

Today I had to throw away my bouquet.  It was a sad moment.  This is all that remains: some lace from my mom's wedding dress and some pretty pins.

And it got me thinking... what heirloom will my daughter carry with her on her wedding day?  Will she want to wear my dress with its handy hidden pockets?  Will she want to shorten my veil to chapel length?  Will she carry the hankie my mom embroidered?  Will she take the embellishment from my dress and design her own (with her mother's designer genes)?

It's kind of fun to think about.  I wonder what the wedding styles will be in thirty or so years.  I wonder how outdated my pictures will be, or if they will be timeless, like Jackie Kennedy (yeah right).

Brides-to-be, do you plan on using/wearing an heirlooms?  Mothers, what have you/do you hope to give your daughter to wear on her wedding day, as a little piece of yourself?

Catching Up With the Newlyweds...

I didn't have much time to blog in the last week and a half, but here we go: one picture from the last 14 days!

 Merely one picture from the bachelorette party.  Keep in mind, I consumed no alcohol... I was only doing what I was told.  Hahaha.

 Prettying it up the day before the wedding!

 Good morning... I'm a bride! :)

 This is what I got to wake up to. :)  My husband. :)  Now to be called: "The Big H" or maybe "TBH."

 We went to the 9/11 memorial.  There aren't many more words I can actually use to describe it.

 The honeymooners with Lady Liberty.

 Having lunch, New York Style.

 Our last night in the city led us to a nice Italian place for dinner.

 And the couple goes home.

 My beautiful bouquet, still in bloom one week later!

 Oh, the humanity!!!!!!  TBH moves in!!!!

 And I organize.  I've never seen anyone with a DVD collection like ours.  The ottoman is blocking the bottom 1/4.

 This is my guilt-less guilty pleasure snack.  This has no bearing to the actual day.  It's just a new vice.

Finally: today.  This is the first meal I made for The Big H, as his wife.  Homemade chili and cornbread... mm-mm good!

Break Time...

Well, it's break time!  By that, I mean wedding stuff has gotten so crazy that I can't keep up with pictures.  So, I'll take a picture every day, and catch you up later!  Ta-ta for now, until I'm a married woman! :)

Moving On...

Today I helped HTB pack up some of the stuff in his room that somehow hasn't made the transition from teenage cave to man land, but that's what our house is for.  :)  He was asking me what movies I had so that we wouldn't double up our collection.  Can I just say, we're going to have a fantastic movie collection.  Quite a variety of the best films of all time, including but not limited to Diary of a Wimpy Kid and the Scream collection.  Haha.

Oh, and now I'll own a Darth Vader helmet and "Psych" bobbleheads.

I'm marrying an awesome guy.  Just saying.
