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.

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!!!!

 

We are in front of the carousel pulling the sword out of the stone.....or trying too;)

Mickey Mouse Ice Cream!!!!

 

OMG, can you say the best picture ever with Mickey!!!!

Mickey waving in the parade in front of the castle!!!

The Carousel!!!!

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!!!

The Castle at night with Fireworks!!!

OMG, so this is the Tower of Terror that I will never do again. I have a picture to prove how scared I was on that ride!!!! I was burying my face in Chris arm!!!

MGM Studios!!!!

Animal Kingdom Mountain ride that we did not ride cause the line was soooo long!!!!

Well, we had a blast!!!! Hope you enjoy the pics but I tell you that you have to go to Disney even if you don't have kids and even more if you do have kids. The best place ever!!!!

 

OMG, are these the cutest pictures ever? She is just so adorable. I bought her that bunny for Easter. It says "My first Easter" on it. She is growing fast!!!

Hey here are some new photos from the beach here in Florida. Just copy and paste into your browser. I had gone through and named each picture but somehow they got erased so oh well. Enjoy!!!!

Also, I want this girls cd. Courtney Jaye.

So we are in the wonderful beautiful state of Florida now. It has been the craziest 2 weeks ever. Lets see if I can remember everything that has happened. On friday the 24th we loaded everything into a 27 foot penske truck. Now, if anyone knows me they know I have alot of junk. Now to me, my junk is not junk it is valuable possessions that I feel make my life complete. But to the wonderful people that helped us move suggest otherwise.....thanks guys for dealing with my crappy possessions hehehehehe. So we left that night and went to Port Arthur and Orange to see family. OMG, did not think leaving was going to be so hard. Sunday was the long moving day to Florida. It was a 13 hour drive but it took us almost 18 hours after stopping to eat and pee. Plus, Chris father had to stop at every weigh station to weight the penske truck.....go figure!!! So we get here and we unload with Jason and Jessicas help and hardly any of chris help cause he had to go to work for like 4 hours. Then we end up having to stay in a hotel for 4 days cause its freezing out and the propane was never delivered despite all the calls. So we finally get the house livable and we decided to go enjoy Florida after a week of being here. So we went to the beach on Saturday and road some bike trails with J & J and the Cowboy dog. I thought I was doing good when the guys had left us to fend for ourselves cause we are apparently too slow for them but when they come back what do I do.....yep, I fell. And noone was there to see it. Chris was way ahead of me and it took him forever after screaming to even help me up and J & J were way behind me. Geez, I fall and they don't even run they just kinda all stand there laughing. Then the beach was awesome playing in the course sand but it was really cold and we were wrapped up in blankets. This whole time I have had a kidney infection and upper respitory crap that just won't go away. So I got a prescription and now its fun to pee and see the pretty colors. So boxes are still everywhere and somehow through this prescription making me feel sick I have to be superwoman and get tons of stuff done today. Its so fun to ignore the house and play on the computer instead.

It's really sad to hear that Dana Reeves lost her battle with lung cancer. I think it is crazy that she had never smoked. Really sad for their son Will.

This is to family and friends to let everyone know what is going on in our lives. As most of you know Chris is a Marine Biologists and a Scuba Instructor. When we married we always talked about going to Florida or California when he finished school in Galveston. But, we stayed here hoping Galveston would give him decent opportunity for his career. Well, there just is not enough here in Galveston for us to stay so we have decided.......drum roll please...... we have decided to move to Florida. Jacksonville to be exact. He found an awesome job over there and there is plenty of Scuba shops to teach at. We are going to miss our family tremendously, but we can't pass up this opportunity. I think the hardest thing is leaving my 5 week old niece behind who in three months when she sees me again she will not recognize me. I know this is hard on Chris as well cause he is having to leave his nieces behind too. Not to mention, our grandparents. They will be missed for sure. We want to thank everyone for helping us get to this point in our lives. We would be nowhere if it weren't for friends and family standing beside us through thick and thin. We love all of you and will stay in touch with everyone of you. We are going to miss all the Texas sayings like....don't mess with Texas....everythings bigger in Texas. But that one never worked cause I am just the same height in Texas as in Florida. Go figure. We love ya!!!! MUAH!!!!
