Thought #1

Deep Thought #1:

Yesterday, I watched a man give his wife his last bite of his cheesecake.

That is love.

To my husband- I love you, but I don't know if I would give you the last bite of my cheesecake.

Tune in next week for Deep Thought #2!

Um. Is This Shiz For Real???

Wow. All I can say after watching this is wow.

There goes four minutes and twelve seconds of my life I'll never get back.

Just. Wow.

I do have to admit...home-girl had a great body after giving birth to 3 girls! (Rob wasn't born yet)

Here is what ABCNews said about the above video:

Lest there be any doubts that Kris Jenner is the ultimate stage mom, take a gander at the clip below, a self-made music video in which the Kardashian matriarch covers Randy Newman’s “I Love L.A.” but replaces the chorus with “I Love My Friends” and recites the names of random designer stores and L.A. institutions like the Cheesecake Factory instead of singing actual lyrics.

“I Love My Friends” was made for Jenner’s 30th birthday, in 1985, and was produced by her late husband/O.J. Simpson defense attorney, Robert Kardashian. It features a cameo from The Juice himself (saying, “She loves you!”) and Nicole Brown, who was also a friend of the Kardashian family.

Kim, Kourtney and Khloe also make an appearance, but the focus here is on Jenner and her fabulousness as she runs pants-less on a treadmill, bathes with a bottle of champagne and barrels down the Sunset Strip like a Rebecca Black from the past.

Yeah. "I Love My Friends" enough not to record myself singing something like this and making them partake in it. You're welcome. 

Kate

I must confess....

I really, really, really envy this girl's style.

I know she has someone to help...but the girl is just beautiful.

Hair? Perfect.

Teeth? Perfect.

Makeup? Perfect.

I think she is just a great style role-model for women of any age.

Who is your girl crush?

To You:

Love,

Michelle

xoxoxo

A Year Ago Today....

I said YES to Mr. Anonymous!

He proposed to me on Christmas Eve last year....

This was right after I said YES!!!

....and now we are about to spend our 1st Christmas together as husband and wife.

It's amazing all the things that happen within a year!

I hope your holidays are filled with lots of love, laughter, family, friends, health, happiness, and everything in between.

Merry Christmas!!!!

The Dreaded 502

Oops!

Our server is experiencing a mild case of the hiccups.

We've reported it to the team.

Try again?

Dear Pinterest....

I love your website. I do. I love it very much. But you wanna know something?? I hate that when I need to find something specific...you always give me this dreaded, hateful little "502"....like I'm supposed to know what the EFF that means?! And not only that...you put a circle around it for what reason? To make it look pretty???

Get your crap together already. There are tons of :

1.) wanna-be-brides, real brides, past brides, divorced brides, etc....

2.) wanna-be-crafters, real crafters, real not-so-good-crafters

3.) stealers-of-your-quotes-to-post-on-FB,-Twitter,-etc-to-pretend-like-they-came-up-with-it-on-their-own 

---people that need you up and running properly!

So, in essence, get rid of your damn "hiccups" as you so nicely call it and get it together!

Sincerely,

Me

I Haz Been Good Boy

Deer Santuh,

I haz been good boy all yeer. I buhlev in yew.

Puhleez bring me bones and good treets.

Ace

Someone Hates Santa....

My sister took her two kiddos to see 'ol Saint Nick, and my niece HATED the whole experience!!!

Her expression is priceless!!!

I think Santa's face is pretty priceless, too!!

He looks concerned!

Do you all have pics like this with your kids or family visiting Santa? Aren't these kinds of pictures great?!?!

(I win aunt of the year for posting this, right?!)

Not Much of a Scrinch Anymore.....

So, I may or may not have referred to myself as a "Scrinch" these past few weeks...

(A scrinch is a combo of a Scrooge and a Grinch, fyi)

I put up our tree but refused to decorate it....

I bought all the presents but I haven't wrapped them yet....

I ordered Christmas cards at the very last minute...

But something happened to me over the past few days---I no longer feel like a Scrinch!!!

It's a Christmas miracle!!!

I decorated our tree this morning!

I just need my 6'5 hubby to come home from work to put up the angel on top!!!

Here are my 2 favorite ornaments on our tree this year:

This is our wedding invitation!!!!!

And I wanted to show you all our very first Christmas card we have ever sent out!!!!

I LOVE IT!!!!

I just need to go to the store and buy some Eggnog and start wrapping gifts!!!

Happy Monday!!!!

Part 2

You can see Part 1- Getting Ready here.


Our wedding ceremony and reception was at The Woodlands Resort in The Woodlands, TX.

The first time we went to visit the location, WE FELL IN LOVE!

I love looking at these pictures over and over and over again. The expressions on our faces are priceless. 

Here is a picture of me and my adorable nephew right before the ceremony. He came up to me and said, "You look so pretty Auntie Shelly. Lub you." It was seriously the sweetest moment ever!!

My handsome groom and his mom

My brother-in-law and my mom

My dad and step mom

The bridal party and one of the flower girls....more on them to come, later!

Our 2 ring bearers and other flower girl

The moment I always dreamed about---walking down the aisle in my daddy's arm.

Oh my gosh, how I love this picture. He is so handsome. This is the look that made me cry in the picture below...

My beautiful bridesmaids! Hubs' three sisters are on the left. My BFF is 2nd to the right. My sister is on the very right. The beautiful flower girl is hubs' niece.

It is now time to party!

See you at the reception!!!
