He works hard for his money ...

My poor DH comes home looking like this on a regular basis. Thanks honey, for everything you do.

 

I think ...

I'm going to get my hair cut like this:



I got it colored this afternoon a nice caramel/honey shade and need something to make myself feel human again. This may just be it.

Happy Anniversary Me!

5 years ago today DH and I were married in a really cute ceremony in Las Vegas, Nevada. All of our close family flew out to be with us and celebrate the occassion. It was fantastic.
Just a little background. Our ceremony cost a whopping $250, the dress $125, shoes $30, and my hair $100 ... that's Vegas for ya.

This is the reception whe received when we returned to our hotel. We stayed at The Excalibur, and throughout the day they have trumpeters that announce various activities and such. Well when they saw us enter the casino, they pulled us on stage and proceeded to play the Wedding March. Every eye was on us, and flashbulbs popped around us like a parade. It was amazing. Somewhere in America, and even beyond, we were in someone's slide show from their October trip to Vegas.


The picture locales were fantastic. On any given day I can choose where I was married ... Paris, Venice, New York ...



The scenery and decor of Vegas in Fall is gorgeous! Everywhere we went was painted in browns, oranges, reds and yellows. Pumpkins, cornstalks, and even Fall leaves were everywhere.

Spaghetti-O's Rock!

Addi loves Spaghetti-O's and by love I mean loves eating them, wearing them, throwing them, and smearing them.

Ok so it's a bit early, but I wanted to make sure the girls weren't going to freak out when I put their costumes on. Quite the contrary actually. Payton looked in the mirror and said "Ooooh Elmo" and Addi laughed and laughed. A suitable response, considering that's exactly what I did.
