Our Wedding Album.. FINALLY!

 After 14 long months we finally got our wedding album in today, and it was well worth the wait! I am so happy with how it turned out. In fact I am so excited about it that I was a loser and took pictures of some of the pages to send to my family who isn't here to see it haha.

So, since I have some pictures of what the album looks like I figured I would share them with you. Don't worry I did not take a picture of every page, just a couple of my favorites(there are 50 pages in the book)..

OK so now that I have completely bored you with pictures of my wedding pictures (man I really am lame lol), I am going to go make something for dinner and spend the evening relaxing and watching Grey's. So glad tomorrow is FRIDAY! :)

Not Me Monday

I did not have a great night out Friday with friends. I did not originally say I wanted it to be an early night and then end up staying out until 2am. I was not completely exhausted the next morning and it was not totally worth it. 

On Saturday I did not drag Vince to a bunch of stores looking for something to wear to his work party. I did not pout or get in a bad mood when I couldn't find anything, nope not me.. I am way more mature than that. I did not eventually find something to wear. (thank goodness!)

I was not very disappointed that the Eagles lost again this weekend.

Vince and I did not both pass out yesterday afternoon on the couch for 2 hours after looking at houses. It was not a much needed nap, I do not wish I was taking a nap right now.

I did not drive around to 6 (yes actually 6!) stores looking for season 2 of One Tree Hill on DVD. I was not super excited when I finally found it at Best Buy. (even though it was a lot more expensive than it would have been at wal-mart and target had they not been sold out) 

I am not looking forward to a date night with my husband tonight. I do not feel like it has been awhile since we have gone out just the two of us and it is not much needed. We are not going out to one of my favorite restaurants followed by watching the Bachelor. I do not love watching that show (even if it is Jake.. ugh), nope I would never waste my time watching something so cheesy. 

I am not already looking forward to the weekend when it's only Monday.  


Hope everyone has a good week!

Longest Week Ever

I can't even explain how glad I am that it is finally the weekend. It has been an extremely long and emotionally draining week and all I can say is TGIF!

I am so looking forward to a relaxing evening tonight. We are meeting one of my best friends and her husband out for dinner and drinks. They just moved back home after 7 years of being gone and I really could not be more excited to have her back in my life! (we have done a really good job of keeping in touch the whole time, but it's not the same as being able to get together whenever we want.. so it will be a nice change!) And then Vince and I will be going home and maybe watching a movie, or maybe just going to bed early for the first time in a week.

Tomorrow night Vince's work is having a party for his boss who is leaving. (which sounds to me like a good excuse to go buy a new outfit tomorrorw?!) His work doesn't normally have get togethers or parties outside of the office, so I have only met his co-workers when I have stopped by to say hi (maybe twice in the past year haha) or met him for lunch. So, I am hoping it will be a good time and a chance to actually meet everyone and not be one of those awkward work parties (you all know what I am talking about!).

And Sunday we are going to church and then we might go to a movie, we might go to lunch, or we might just do nothing at all... not sure yet, but I do love days with no real plans :)

Happy Friday!

"A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying." - Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy

Wishful Wednesday

This week's topic is ..... 

'I wish' .... I had _____ hair/hairstyle!

 

My Answer: I wish I had Jessica Simpson's hair!

It doesn't matter if it's long or short, up or down, straight or curled.... it always looks perfect. (and I am SO jealous haha)

And if I can't have her hair, I guess would settle for an appointment with her hairstylist Ken Paves..

yea, I wish... lol

Now it's your turn, join in the Wishful Wednesday posts at http://kelseyandgabriel.blogspot.com/ and tell us whose hair you want :)

My Newest Obsession..

One Tree Hill.

It has always been one of those shows that I will watch here and there if nothing else is on, but never something I watch consistently. Until recently that is. I started watching it more frequently on SOAPnet lately (one of my favorite channels by the way) and got completely hooked.

So, I decided rather than watch the reruns on TV, I would go buy the seasons on DVD so that I can actually see it all from the beginning. It was a fabulous idea. I get excited to watch a couple episodes after work while I make dinner and relax. It has since moved up from a show I kind of like, but have no idea whats going on to a show that I love and can't wait to watch.

If you aren't already a fan, I definitely recommend you watch a couple episodes.. but I must warn you it's easy to become addicted ;-)

Not Me Monday

I did not have a great time in the Poconos celebrating New Years. Vince and I were not so exhausted when we got home Saturday night that we went to sleep at 9:30pm.

I have not become obsessed with playing games. I was not super happy when everyone decided to play catch phrase on Friday night. I also did not get competitive later this weekend over a game of scrabble with Vince. I am not a sore loser at all. 

I did not enjoy going house hunting yesterday afternoon with Vince. I do not get excited thinking about putting  our townhouse on the market so we can actually buy a new place. (i really do love our house now, but we always planned to only stay here for a couple of years) I did not have dreams all last night about moving and decorating a new house. Seriously who does that?

I did not really enjoy the movie Avatar yesterday. I do not recommend that everyone go see it in theater in 3D asap. 

Today was not an extremely busy day at work, I was not proud of myself with how much I got accomplished on a Monday. I was not so tired by 5pm today that I almost decided to lounge on the couch instead of going to my zumba class. I was not glad that I changed my mind and ended up going.

I am not now currently on the couch wearing my snuggie, drinking tea, laying with Vince and Ty and waiting for the Bachelor to start :)
