Honeymoon to remember

And that is why I will write about it so I remember in years to come!
(It is a work in progress and will be tweaked from time to time)
The Wedding Day:
As we were walking out of the reception house, the guests that were remaining stood outside waiting the the bird seed pouches I spent HOURS on. Well the doors were open and we were PELTED, the did not throw the seed up in the air to fall softly, they just THREW it!!! OUCH!!!



We took forever to actually leave from there due to his mother. She kept talking to us, and talking to us, and talking to us. I wanted to scream "We are married let us go!!!!!!", but I was nice. We FINALLY get on the road toward San Antonio and make it about 2 miles down the road and we realize there is no way in hell we can drive 7 hours with all this birdseed. We stop to go to the bathroom and get something to drink. Well lets just say I found a visitor in the restroom and didn't have the heart to tell Justin until we hit Houston.

We got to the Crown Plaza around 2am and we were beat!! I get to the desk to check in and the guy behind the counter says "Two doubles non right?" WRONG!!! It is my honeymoon! Trust me there will be times in my marriage I want him in a seperate bed but not tonight pal. I tell the guy there is a mistake since it is our honeymoon and we requested a King. They had nothing else available until the next afternoon so we went to the room (918). It was a clean but small room and I was just so upset of having to move and do Seaworld the next day I didn't want to like it. We unloaded and decided to eat out of the wedding food that was packed for us. Lets just say that I was upset. There was enough food for one maybe. We each had a meatball, a mushroom and a 1/2 sandwich!!!! I was erked!!


That is were I am ending the wedding night portion!!! :P

Day 1:

We woke up around 7:30/8AM to find a breakfast voucher for two under our door as an apology in the room mixup. We decided to take them up and go downstairs for breakfast. It was really good and we were really hungry!

We went upstairs to change for Seaworld and went downstairs. I talked with the lady at the counter and she said they will have the room problem taken care of when we got back. We would just have to switch everything into the new room later that night whenever we were ready. Good now I can just enjoy my day!

We had a fantastic day at SeaWorld! The shows were great and Justin really enjoyed the rides. I would go back in a heart beat and the tickets were free for us as they were a gift from my boss!!!


And of course the man of the day was SHAMU!!! But watch out if you ar in the splash zone!


We stayed until closing and were a little upset because my camera kept breaking but we knew we were in a huge city so they were bound to have a WalMart :0) *yes we even shopped on our honeymoon*
We decided to stop by the hotel to change first since we were SOAKED!! When we got to the hotel the lady at the front desk told us our stuff had been moved and we were in a new room!!! 2218?! We were a little upset having them move our stuff but only until we walked into the room!!! We were on the top floor with a VIEW!!! We were on the executive level and could see most of the city out of our window. It was NICE!!!
We went to Wally world to get our snazzy new camera and McDonalds for a romantic in room dinner...lol.
Day 2, 3, and 4 to follow!

Finally!

Well I am officially a Mrs.!!! I should have updated a while back but oh well since no one reads this...lol. We went to San Antonio for our honeymoon and didnt want to come home. I will post a honeymoon blog later with details (ok not all the details).

I will update you all on our current housing situation. Let me sum it up in one word: SMALL!!

Justin's 18yr old half brother moved in with us two days after the honeymoon. Not that it wasn't planned I just thought I would get more time to be just a wife. Anyways, he is currently looking for a job while Justin wants me to start looking for a bigger place.

We are not looking to buy anything as of now. Justin did the math and refuses to finance any more then 80% for a mortage, saying "do you know how much we will pay in intrest? Lets just buy 3 houses?!" Well also the market is SO unstable right now so we will gladly pay 1/2 the amount we would be if we had a mortgage to rent and let some one else fix our a/c, plumbing, and do my grass...lol.

We will be looking into either a two br apt in our complex soon our Cory will just have to tough it out on the floor until March. I just hate him being there bc I cant do anything in the morning before work. I can't put a load of dishes or laundry on, no coffee before work at home, no morning news, NOTHING. Just get up and get dresses AAAHHH. It is beginning to wear on me.

Lets just hope he gets a job soon so maybe he will be up in the morning so I can grab a cup of coffee.

I'll update more later!!!

Really?! You sure?!

Ok I dont know if this is normal, but with all the stress of work and how busy I am tring to get out of here on Thursday, I dont feel like I am getting married this weekend. I have just so much going on in my brain that I can't process it.

My FMIL is coming in so I guess that will make it seem more real since she would not come down for any other reason. Also my HUGE and ever growing TO DO list for the wedding that is all over the dryer...dont ask. Also me trying to pack and Justin keeps unpacking stuff!!!! AAAHH my house will never be clean in time and I will not have everything done by Saturday.

On top of that my "musical assistant" backed out so yeah do you want me to bend over now or when I am finished this post?!

At least I got some GREAT things at VS today that I love!!! Cant wait to use them!!!

Ok bending over now!!!

one more week!!

EEEKKK!!!! I am getting so anxious!!! I have a LOT of things to do and only a few days in which to do them!!

My MIL should be at my house no later then Wed. AAAHHHH!!! I need to get to cleaning. She is no Susie homemaker but I at least want to show her I can keep house and take care of her little boy. I also need to clean out my car and get it travel ready!!! I need to finish packing for the honeymoon which mean laundry...lots of laundry. I also need to plan my menu for next week to feed four people instead of two.

I also have ALOT of things to wrap up at work to be able to leave and not come back to CHAOS!! It seems that every time I accomplish one task fifteen more come on my desk, I am not exaggerating.

I have my sleep over this weekend which should be fun. I just don't feel that I will enjoy it knowing that there is so much left on my to do list. We will see.

OMG!!!!!!!!! I need a Confession/Coffee Break

~I am so BLAH today but have a crap load of work to do!!!

~ My Granny is in surgery today and I am hoping everything will be fine so she will begin to feel better. *** ok just said a prayer***

~ Justin's sister was able to regain custody of Fallon!!! Not that any mother should loose her child but I am thinking Fallon deserves the best and she is not it right now. She needs to wake up and smell the coffee.

~ Justin's mom FINALLY answered the phone and supposedly they are all coming down....

~ will they make up my F*in mind!!!

~Fallon should be coming down now so we should have a flower girl...hope the dress fits.

~ Dont know if mentioned yesterday but Justin will be working nights from now on...

~ there are pros and cons I guess but I am ok with it for now, if it becomes a problem he will switch back.

~ I am killing time at work so I will confess more later!!!

Where do I start?!

Well with 2wks and 3days to go I was expecting my stress level to become chaotic but this is nuts!

Justin just called me to tell me his sister from Florida called. She is not coming. Her excuse is that we didn't give her enough time to save money. She had EIGHT. FLIPPIN. MONTHS!!! I really don't understand it.

On top of that his mom is not answering the phone!!! I can't get over that!!! She was so upset when her daughter ran off and got married in the court house but wont come to her son's wedding? Ironic much?!

We also decided to save our money and sanity and not have a rehearsal dinner. We were very grateful from some close friends of ours to help with the cooking and venue but really couldn't go through it. Now with Justin's mom not there he really didn't feel up to slapping a smile on his face.

I think we have opted for a date nite the friday before our wedding instead of the rehearsal dinner. We will be going to an early feature (probably around 4) just him and I. A last date before we are married. We may have dinner but then he will go to my parents house and my family (girls only) and I will stay at my apartment.

I finally found a salon that wasn't booked and made appointments for all the girls, it will be $35 instead of the original $30 I was hoping for but what can I do?

Appointments will start at 9am and makeup will be at 10:30. That leaves me plenty of relax and dressing time.
