It's our Anniversary!!

Two years ago today we said "I do" in front of our closest friends and family. It had rained that morning in Las Vegas which is good luck on your wedding day. We got up (after spending the night together after all) and headed over to the house we had rented. The girls were tended to by our hair and make up artist while the boys headed back to the other rental house to light cigars and assist with a tux or two. Piled in the limo was the Bride, the Mothers and the wonderful bridesmaids. There was Farrah, the maid of honor: Best friends to the bride for 15 years. Also included was Ilona: the Groom's little sister and bestie to the Bride. Last but not least was Tara: Cajun Connection to the Bride.
Through Las Vegas we rode until we arrived in Henderson, Nevada where the coordinator took over and did an absolutely fabulous job making sure everything ran smoothly. We walked, we wed and we danced the night away. After the MOH and Best Man made their tearful toast, an open mic invitation turned this intimate wedding of 30 into "Cry Fest 2008". We danced, we sang, we ate, drank and were merry. (All the way until 5am when we cleared out of the VIP at VooDoo and had the 20 person Party Bus bring us to our knees!)
Looking back at that day (which is done far more than one would think) I wouldn't change a single last thing. It was the most magical experience of my life and I fell even more in love with that man I call my husband.
Happy Anniversary baby. I love you more than Blue Bell.

Run Down on three! - 1, 2, BREAK!!!

Boy oh boy here we go-

Took a trip to Las Vegas in July for our One Year Anniversary. Stayed for a week and drove out to Los Angeles where we stayed in Beverly Hills at Maison 140. Spent a day in Santa Monica at the pier eating fish tacos with Cervesa. Drove back to Vegas that night to meet our best friends from Houston, The Schillers. Anniversary on the 27th, and a tragic phone call on the 28th summed up the rest of our trip. The phone call was that of a LAY OFF for Paul- via the phone, the day after our anniversary, IN LAS VEGAS. (The last place on earth you want to find out you were laid off)

Fast forward a through our trip home, Paul's low key birthday, and a month of Mr. Daniels going loco- He was offered a job with Martin Marine out of La Porte, TX. So, back to the grind, and thanking the Lord! We will just have to put up with the "unimaginable" hitch he has- 4 weeks on, 2 weeks off. That separates us for 8 months out of the year, not counting the time I'm at my job while he is home. Aaahhhh.... the joys of living. :)

So, it looks like our summer has come to an end- It was definitely a wonderful and memorable few months, but now it's time for football season, birthday parties, and decorating OUR HOME for the very first time during Christmas. We are so blessed, even with all the hoops and bumps- God is good.
