(Sigh)

We're back. The wedding is done. And everything was perfect. I love that! All the planning and worrying and hoping, and everything was great. Better than great.


I'll do a longer post of wedding pics and some honeymoon pics. Puerto Vallarta was beautiful, and it was so nice to be on vacation together for a week. After the stress of a wedding I can absolutely see the necessity for a honeymoon.


Thanks for everyone for making our wedding day so wonderful. We have great friends and family.


Here's my requisite random trip picture to tide you over until I make a longer post. I can't promise anything quick--I'm loving this marriage thing.

Longest week ever

So the wedding is in 2 days, and this week has just dragged. Being excited makes time stop. Today is my last day of work for 10 days, which is fantastic (Mexico, here we come!). Also great is knowing the week is almost done, so I can stop stressing about all the things that could go wrong.

Most of our siblings are in town or arriving tonight, and it has been so fun. I love having time to hang out with family. It's so weird to think Todd and I will very soon be our own family. So cool.

And it's cold! Like, the temperature dropped 20 degrees and it's windy. The forecast for Saturday is warmer, so I'm hoping that's true. If not, maybe I can wear my snazzy new purple coat. There's nothing wrong with that.

Yesterday we got a present from my grandparents who are on a mission and not coming to the wedding (sad). We've been opening all the presents we get before the wedding, because (1) we're way excited and opening presents is so fun, and (2) we figure we'll have more presents after the wedding, so it's easier to stretch it out and enjoy opening all the gifts. Anyway, back to my grandparents' gift: they sent the cutest framed quote by Dr. Seuss. It says,

You know you're in love when you can't sleep . . .

because reality is finally better than your dreams.

Awwwwww.

G-I-R-L-S . . . just wanna have fun

Last Saturday my friends gave me a bridal shower. It was so much fun. I really enjoyed being able to spend a few hours with so many great people. A bridal shower is a great excuse for a few hours of girl time.

They did a video of Todd answering questions (luckily they didn't make me put bubble gum in my mouth if I got it wrong--yea!) and he was pretty darn cute in it, if I do say so myself. And we got most of our answers the same. We're total dorks. We even had the same inflection and response time on a few questions. I'm so proud. My sister was taking pictures and got a very cute shot of me watching the video of Todd (I'm totally twitterpated). I like this picture.
