  • Finally.....The wedding photos

    Alexander Wedding!!!!


    I know, I know....It has been over a month since the wedding. I did not want to use just any pics....I wanted to use the best and it took a while to get all of the pics together. Most of the Pics are from Evans Photografix but some are from others cameras as well. Like I said in my last post, the wedding was awesome. Everything went pretty close to perfect.



    The bride to be getting her hair done by Meghan.... a long time friend of the family. She did an awesome job on all of our hair.



    I know these are small but its the only way I could post them. How many bridemaids does it take to dress the bride?? All exept the pregnant one. LOL

  • Finally...... my post about our trip to Texas

    Pretend this was written a month ago. The wedding was on May 13th and we got home on May 15th. Yea, kinda late in posting this!!!!


     


    The trip to Texas was great and my Sisters wedding was absolutely Beautiful!!!! I just can't beleive its all over with already. Evans photografix took pics and they did such a wonderful job. It took all I had not to cry going down the staircase. It brought back so many memories of eight years ago walking down similiar steps to Chris.


    It was great to see family and I wish we would have had longer to visit. Everybody got sick and luckily I was able to escape without getting anything but as soon as I got picked up from the airport Jessicas germs decided they were stronger than the ones from Texas and now I have nasal congestion and sore throat. I will take that over the stomach flu anyday. I am so glad I did not have that while flying. I was blocking out the possibility of even getting what  my family had cause that plane ride would have been death.


    Speaking of planes. The ride over to Houston was crazy cause it was late and we missed our connecting flight cause they decided to leave early. Jerks. Then our luggage was lost cause we told them to send them to Beaumont and we were in houston. Luckily, the luggage also stayed in houston and we were able to, after an hour, get our luggage which included the dress I had to wear for the wedding. After renting a car and driving to Port Arthur from Houston, we finally were able to get 4 hours sleep. The sleep didn't get much better and neither did the nerves. (I hate flying so that made me nervous and then missing our flight and losing luggage didn't help either.) Then, our flight back was also crazy for me. We had to ride the small plane to houston.....I have not rode that in 8 years and forgot that the turbulance is horrible. Man, felt like Tower of Terror all over again. I hate that feeling of your stomach going to your throat. HATE IT.


    I was so nervous about this wedding and I realized its cause my little sister is all grown up. It was happy nerves though. I was able to switch from crazy nerves to happy nerves. I am so happy for her. It crazy cause some people that I haven't seen since my wedding day were there and I was able to catch up with them. Crazy.


    So now, back to normal, at home. All I want to do is sleep since I got none in Texas. I don't know how my sister was able to sleep on the night before her wedding but not me. Maybe God switched our stomaches out for the night. I wasn't nervous about my wedding so maybe someone else was nervous for me.


  • You Have a Choleric Temperament


    You are a person of great enthusiasm - easily excited by many things.
    Unsatisfied by the ordinary, you are reaching for an epic, extraordinary life.
    You want the best. The best life. The best love. The best reputation.

    You posses a sharp and keen intellect. Your mind is your primary weapon.
    Strong willed, nothing can keep you down. Your energy can break down any wall.
    You're an instantly passionate person - and this passion gives you an intoxicating power over others.

    At your worst, you are a narcissist. Full of yourself and even proud of your faults.
    Stubborn and opinionated, you know what you think is right. End of discussion.
    A bit of a misanthrope, you often see others as weak, ignorant, and inferior.

  • This footprints thing is really weird. I was looking at mine and it sent me to google images and it showed pics of my photos I have put on here. Anyone else been seeing that? Kinda creepy to know that if someone googles your screename they see your pics. Oh well, I need to stop worrying about it.

  • Disney!!!!! WhooHoo

    Ok, I figured it was about time to update on whats been going on. We went to Disney and to Texas but I don't want to make a super long entry so I will update now on Disney and later on Texas and the wedding.


     


    OMG, So Disney was so great!!!! It really does make you feel like a kid again. And you know that commercial with the kids and the parents and they tell the kids to go to sleep and they say they are too excited to sleep. Well, that is exactly how we felt. I got up very early every morning (which I never do cause I am soooo not a morning person) because I was so excited to get everything done.


    You can't possibly get everything done in 4 days. But Magic Kingdom was the best so we spent 2 days there. The week was really nice and not too crowded but the weekend got very busy and crowded. I just can't believe I have been to Disney. I want to go back very soon.


    This is front of the castle with Walt Disney and Minnie Mouse!!!!

    OK, this is a classic picture!!!! You don't recognize the lady I am standing with? It's Ariel!!! Yea, I made her day. The line to meet Ariel with the little mermaid was LONG so I asked her since her name was Ariel if I could bypass the line and take a picture with her. She was so happy!!!
