Wedding Honeymoon

Phil and I had originally planned on hitting the road to Orlando right after the reception was over, but a day or so beforehand we decided that we would need our sleep that night! And boy were we right about that!

So the next day we woke up early, grabbed some Tudor's Biscuit World, and got on the road to our honeymoon destination. Our wedding caterers were gracious enough to pack us up some of our reception food. That turned into our lunch later that day, and it was still soooo good! We used the microwave at a gas station to heat it up, worked out great!

We didn't make it all the way that night and decided to stay in a hotel and get to Disney World the next morning refreshed and ready to hit the parks! We were super excited when we got there! Day 1 we went to the Magic Kingdom!

- How about the scariest, creepiest, or trippiest cruise that every sailed! I remember thinking this when I went on the It's A Small World ride when I was little!

- On the teacups!

We came back to our hotel that night to a delivery of champagne in a Mickey basket for us!

Day 2 we went to Blizzard Beach, Downtown Disney, and Disney Quest!

- Phil really liked Disney Quest! He probably could live there.

- Outside the Lego Store is a lake with a giant lego serpant!

Day 3 we went to Epcot!

- Got to meet The Mouse!

- Yay Captain EO!

- I just took a picture of myself with the expensive donut ears on!

- Our bride and groom mickey ears we purchased!

Day 4 we went to Hollywood Studios!

- Ginormous delicious cupcake!

Day 5 we went to Animal Kingdom!

- went on the safari ride and saw the giraffes!

- It seemed like there were a lot of characters around the Animal Kingdom, more than any other park. Lilo & Stitch were by far the most fun cause they interacted with us the most!

We woke up the next morning after Animal Kingdom and left, then drove all the way home that day.

We were so tired after our honeymoon! I don't remember my feet hurting that bad ever! We kind of needed a vacation from our vacation when we got home. We sure did have a fun time though!

Week #34

So it's pretty sad that I really don't remember what I did this week, and had to remind myself from the few tweets I post! I just didn't sleep well all week for some reason, except for the first part - I do know why... Day 232: Today Phil was in major pain because of his tooth! His face was starting to swell, and in hindsight I should have just taken him to the hospital. I reluctantly left his house that day, couldn't really call and talk to him cause it was hard for him to open his mouth. I didn't get much sleep cause I was worrying so much. Didn't take any pictures... sorry!

Day 233: I got up early this morning and drove back to Phil's house cause I was so worried! He had already set an appointment to get this tooth pulled previously for Tuesday, but he was going to call this Monday morning to see if they could get him in since he was so bad. They could and I was glad I was there to drive him. They pulled it even though it was infected and put him on an antibiotic (for the second time). They said that if he swelled any more to go straight to the ER. So today I took care of him. I know I'm doing bad but no picture today too! My worrying got the best of me. When I went home again tonight I didn't sleep well again.

Day 234: Phil was okay today and I didn't worry as much, but still didn't sleep well. It was like I would get my hours in, but didn't feel rested when I got up. Anyway, I had to do stuff today like go find wedding invitations. I found these at Target that I liked, but when I went with mom today to get them, they only had one box. Sooo, I was frustrated cause everytime I find them the place doesn't have enough or you can't order/find them online. We decided to go to a place in town that designs/prints them for you and it is for a good price. This pic is of the paper we want, you can't tell very much but it is a ivory color with a bit of sparkle!

Day 235: Today, was my bub Adam's birthday! I also finally got to the Y! It was a hard workout mostly because I was so exhausted. Also, this morning my dad calls me up to talk to him before he was leaving to go to work, and I look him in the eyes and one of his pupils is dilated and the other isn't. I freak, thinking that he's had a stroke or something and tell my mom to come look. They start laughing at me while I have tears in my eyes! Turns out dad had gone to the eye doctor that morning and they only had to dilate one eye! It was okay, but it was a bad joke on me!

Day 236: Mom and I went for a walk in the park. We walked to the place where *I think* will be the place in the park that we are having the ceremony(pictured). Later today, I went to Zumba with Rachel again! So much fun!

Day 237: Phil is feeling much better now with the help from his antibiotic, and got to come to my house for the weekend! The lymph nodes under his chin are still a little swollen, but the rest of his face is much better! Those swollen nodes are stopping him from getting some early Easter treats!

Day 238: Phil got a new game for the DS that I decided I would try out before him! It's called "9 hours, 9 persons, 9 doors" and sort of feels very "Saw"-ish to me. There is a lot of reading to this game but you do get to figure out some puzzles, get to know some people, and search some rooms to get through the 9 doors.

So that was my week, and I'm happy to say that Saturday I had a good night's sleep!

It's Alluring...

So I may have actually found my wedding dress yesterday! I haven't purchased it yet, but I pretty much know that's THE dress! I didn't want to show you a picture and ruin the surprise, so I put together this little picture collage of clues!

Can you guess what my dress looks like???

Week #19

So this week I'm sort of cheating on my Pic-A-Day challenge. Instead of posting a pic of something I did for each day of the week, I am showing off some of my Christmas presents! I am too spoiled for Christmas by both my family and Phil's family and consider myself extremely blessed to have them. I would be happy if I just got hugs :-) There are also a couple pics from NYE and New Year's Day.

Day 127: I got Michael Jackson The Experience for the Wii! This weekend we tried it out and had a lot of fun learning some of Jacko's dance moves! It's pretty funny cause it comes with the MJ sparkley glove, but the packaging that it comes in says "IMPORTANT: Glove is not to be used during gameplay". I find this strange as well as the fact that the glove, when worn, feels like it is not fit for a human to wear.

Day 128: One of the gifts from my parents was a DH (dental hygienist) bead to add to my bead bracelet!

Day 129: Phil's parents got me a dental nutcracker! Possibly called a Toothcracker? ...nah! He's very cute and holds a toothbrush in one hand and a tooth in the other!

Day 130: Phil got me some loose leaf tea from the new tea store that opened up here! It is pretty pricey so I had put off buying it myself, and hadn't found it anywhere else. I've had a little tea pot that I have been wanting to use for a while now, so finally I can! And it's mint chocolate chip flavored!

Day 131: Phil's grandmother got me a sewing machine! I couldn't believe it! She is going to teach me how to quilt but I never thought I'd have a machine of my own to use! I am going to go watch the instructional dvd it comes with right after I finish this post!

Day 132: For New Year's Eve, Phil and I went to the dog track and casino with his parents for the 3rd year in a row. Unfortunately, they do not allow you to bring in a camera so I got this picture of my pretty, sparkley, silver eyeshadow before I went.

Day 133: Happy New Year! Phil got me this baby bottle of champagne to ring in the new year with! I doctored it up a bit to be a little more festive!

I wanted to post a few more pics of some gifts I got for Christmas:

• Phil got me this beautiful necklace and earrings.
• My best bud Adam got me a giraffe mug with a giraffe actually in the the mug! So cute!
• I got some Michael Jackson CDs including Off The Wall, Dangerous, and his new CD called Michael all from Phil and his family. I also got Josh Groban's new CD called Illuminations from my parents.
• I got some random DVDs including Mr. Bean's Holiday, Square Pegs (the complete series), The Sound of Music (only ever had it on VHS), and My Fair Lady from my Aunt Cheryl and my other aunt, uncle, and cousins.

And finally, a Christmas pic of me and Phil being dorks decked out in our red and green! ...planned of course! I can officially declare the Christmas posts over until Christmas 2011! And Happy New Year again!

Week #12

Welcome to Week 12 of my Pic-A-Day challenge! This week I got better with the help of the antibiotics I'm taking so there is a little more variety in the pictures I took this week! Enjoy!

Day 78: Still feeling sick when I wake up in the morning since that is when my nose is crusty and my throat is dry. In the afternoons I feel better and on this Sunday Phil and I got some Christmas shopping done! This evening I started losing my voice though.

Day 79: My voice was partially gone today, but I felt better. So it made for a good day for mom and I to clean out my old closet from when I was little and I sort through clothes I wanted to keep and ones I wanted to give away. In this closet I found my Lite Brite and got a little too into playing with it again. This is my creation I present to you!

Day 80: I found a new gum I love! Extra's Dessert Delights is amazing! Although it does not have Xylitol in it, it is still sugar-free! The Key Lime Pie flavor is definately my favorite with the Mint Chocolate Chip coming in as a close second! I thought I would like the Strawberry Shortcake flavor the best, but it tastes a little weird to me so it is in last.

Day 81: Cut my nails and painted them black today. This is kinda a strange shot of my hand.

Day 82: Mom and I went shopping today and I wore my new ankle boots for the first time! They were really comfortable, but I would like to where them with something besides jeans where you could see them a little better!

Day 83: Went to see Phil this Friday and got some little tin candy cups to put the Oreo Truffles we are going to make for Thanksgiving (and Christmas)! Mmmmm... I cannot wait!

Day 84: Got a new Brides magazine to read, along with the next book in my Sweet Magnolia series by Sherryl Woods. I got the book at the flea market for only $3!

Hope everyone had a great week! And I wanted to give a birthday shout-out to one of my BFFs, Jeffs! I don't think he's ever read this blog, but Happy Birthday to him anyway!

Week #6

Here is the long-awaited (maybe) Pic-A-Day post I have to share with you today! 6 weeks down only 46 left to go!

Day 36: It was rainy as I drove home from Phil's house this Sunday evening and I got inspired to take a picture while listening to Delilah.

Day 37: So I've decided that I'm going to make a t-shirt quilt. This is what happens when you have too much time on your hands. Also, see Day 39. Anyways, this is one of my very favorite t-shirts, as you might be able to tell from the holes all over it. This night I got out all my old t-shirts I wanted to use for the quilt, but I didn't have the heart to cut this one up! *Also note it says "THE Band of the Mountain State"!

Day 38: Pretty day out and the ferns wanted their picture taken.

Day 39: I'm also going to make a yarn wreath for Halloween in my spare time. Don't judge.

Day 40: Thursday I went to this dental office, with the cool-looking brick, for an orientation to the clinic I would be working at the following Monday (today in real time). This was only a temporary job for the one day, which actually turned into half-a-day... booooo! At least I was making money and not crafts! See Days 37 & 39.

Day 41: I made Phil put on this hat at The Walmarts (as the lovely people around these parts like to call it) and pose for me. I think it suits him... or not.

Day 42: Saturday was pumpkin buying/carving day for me and Phil! We found a greenhouse nearby, but my dream is to pick them from the actual field. Anyone know where a place like that is close to me???

Thank you for patiently waiting. Now to go sell my soul to SimCity once again.

Incredible(y Geeky)

When Phil and I started dating he was into a game called HeroClix, mostly based on comic book characters. He would go down to the local comic book/gaming store to play with his friends and occasionally I would join him. He would try to teach me how to play but it was something I didn't really enjoy. I did like looking at all the comic book character figures they all collected. My favorite had to be The Hulk, and that is where it all began...After Phil noticed how much I liked The Hulk, he - bringing me with him - began to get a little obsessed. He claims he liked the Hulk before I came along, but I think it is still my doing! He started buying the comic books and movies, and even named 3 of our fish Hulk.

All of this was fine with me, but then he started asking me if it would be okay to purchase an inflatable Hulk like this:And this 8 foot tall Incredible Hulk statue:
This is where I drew the line, but I hope he was just asking about these to get a reaction from me! I never realized that picking a comic character to like based on the fact that he is green could lead to all of this!

Do the men in your life have crazy/geeky obsessions?

Do you like the Incredible Hulk too?

Is your favorite color green?
