Disney Picture Overload

We went to Disney World last month for the NewlyHusband's birthday. Disney was running an amazing special for Florida residents- you got 4 parks for $99! That's less than $25 a park! It was too good of a deal to pass up, so we used 2 of our days for his birthday. We went to Epcot and Animal Kingdom with my mom, her gf, my uncle, and my aunt. We had such a great time! We plan on going back next month to use our other 2 tickets on Magic Kingdom and MGM (which I guess is now called Hollywood Studios).

If you go to Epcot and eat at France, you have to get this drink. I don't remember the name but it was apple juice, Grey Goose, and St Germain liquor

A Day Late, A Dollar Short.

Ok I'm actually 3 days late on our 8 monthaverssary post. Eek! I didn't get off my couch on the 8th- I was writing a 14 page paper all day! Then on Friday the 9th, the NewlyHusband and I worked our butts off getting our house ready for the open house we had yesterday. Only 2 people came, but that's better than the zero we've had so far. I'm hoping they were interested buyers and not just nosy neighbors.

Now, on to the real reason we're here. To celebrate 8 months of marriage! I can't believe we're already at 2/3 of a year. We'll be at a year before we know it. Today I am going share some of my favorite pictures of just the two of us at the wedding.

It's That Time Again- 7 Months

It's our 7 month anniversary today. Last night, the NewlyHusband and I were sitting on the couch talking. I was talking about what we could make for our lunches this week and he was telling me he did the dishes. I commented on the fact that our conversation definitely made it sound like we were an old married couple already. Haha

So for today, I will show you guys some pictures from before the ceremony. We did not see each other at all that day until I walked down the aisle.

We hung out in some rooms downstairs while guests arrived upstairs. This is my matron of honor and I heading upstairs for the ceremony.

The guys arriving at the church

One of my bridesmaids helping me make sure my dress is straight. This is right before the ceremony started.

The guys got a foozball table in their hangout room. We got nada. Their room was right next to ours and we could hear them yelling and cheering the whole time.

Me making sure I had some food in my stomach. My flower girls mom brought tiny sandwiches for her kids and that's what I was eating. Crunchy peanut butter- gross.

This friend reapplied my lip gloss for me all day.

Oh and PS: I'm posting this from our new Macbook!

Half Year Anniversary!

A day late...oops. Well anyway, yesterday was our 6 monthaverssary. We've made it half a year, people! And I'm lovin it. Sooo today, I have decided to showcase the reception. Enjoy!

4 Months

It's December 8th- the NewlyHusband and I have been married 4 months today. On November 8, I showed you all a glimpse of our fabulous honeymoon. So I decided to carry on the tradition and on each one of our monthiverssaries, show you a little part of our wedding or wedding events. Since I started at the end with the honeymoon, I decided to come back to the beginning today- the proposal.

The NewlyHusband proposed to me on December 31, 2008. For New Years Eve, him and I and my best friend and her husband went to the Comedy Zone to celebrate- they do an hour comedy show and then dancing till 1 am. I certainly was not expecting a proposal. The first slow slong to come on was Tiny Dancer by Elton John. So we went onto the dance floor and he started telling me that he loved me and how he wanted to marry me. And I'm like Yeah I want to marry you too one day. We've had the talk before, so I thought we were just talking casually about it again. Until...He got down on one knee in the middle of the dance floor!! I couldn't believe it. When he said "Will you marry me?" I said "Shut up!" Haha- I was just so shocked. I then nodded my head excitedly and ran off the dance floor and hugged my best friend.

It was just the absolute best night. People were congratulating us, the dj made an announcement, and since we didn't get a picture someone offered to take a re-enactment photo. So the NewlyHusband got down on one knee in the hallway outside of the bathrooms and we got a picture. We ran into a lady that worked there a couple months later and she said "Oh yeah! You're the ones who got engaged in front of the bathroom!" Poor NewlyHusband was all romantic and proposed in the middle of the dance floor and this lady thought he pulled out the ring for the first time in front of the freakin restrooms.

Pictures from that night for your viewing pleasure:

If You're Happy and You Know It

Vent, vent, vent. I feel like that's all I've been doing lately. I feel like I've been a Negative Nelly, so let's bring some rainbows and puppys to this blog. (Disclaimer: there will be no actual rainbows or puppies on today's blog post. Sorry to dissapoint.) 3 months ago today, the NewlyHusband and I were heading to Mexico for our honeymoon. I absolutely loved the place we went. It was complete perfection. We stayed at an all inclusive resort for 7 days and 6 nights. So behold- the fabuliciousness that was our honeymoon:

Zip lining

Swimming in a cenote

Rappelling

Beds on the beach

Beautiful sunrises

Mayan ruins

Snorkeling

Iguanas that roamed the resort

Swing bars (and I mean a bar with swings as seats, not a bar you go to to trade partners)

Carts with champagne and chopped fuit

Private dinner on the beach

I've got my magazine, my sunscreen, and my champagne ready to go relax on a beach bed. This was pure bliss.

This was the last thing I did right before we checked out: got a plate of chips and guac and a margarita and brought it to the beach bed. Perfect way to say goodbye to our honeymoon.

Hope you all enjoyed the pictures half as much as we enjoyed our honeymoon!
