One year anniversary

June 14th will mark Matt and my one year wedding anniversary. I remember this time last year, as big as a house, getting ready to have the kid, when a wave of hormone craziness swept over me and I decided right then and there that there was no way I would have this baby without us being married. This was Sunday night. By Wednesday night, we had our marriage license, Matt's outfit and my dress purchased. By Friday night (all thanks to absolutely no sleep whatsoever and the creative talents of my Mother, Keisha, Kellie and Melissa), we had bridesmaids, groomsmen, videographer/photographer, flower bouquets and arrangements, dinner preparations, 3 cakes, champagne/glasses, plates/silverware, table cloths, decorations, centerpieces, a flower girl (Dilly), music downloaded, a minister, chairs set up for the ceremony and even an archway to stand in to say the vows. We got hitched on Saturday morning and had the reception shortly after. Except for the fact that I looked like the Goodyear Blimp, it turned out to be a beautiful little ceremony. Even though it was so last minute, I don't think I would've done it any other way. Don't mess with a hormonal pregnant woman! She will get her way, come hell or high water!

So, since we didnt really get to have a honeymoon, Matt and I are taking a weekend trip here right outside of New Braunfels, TX. It's a charming little place...perfect for a weekend of total relaxation and pampering. We're going to head out of town on Thursday night, so we can have all day Friday and Saturday to enjoy and then come back on Sunday. There are some wineries to check out, Natural Caverns, where I think we're even going to do some panning for some precious gems (maybe we'll get lucky!), and a couple of local festivals that we might check out. I'm just mainly looking forward to spending some quality time with Matt and for both of us to get to relax for a little while. We haven't really had a chance to spend time together, much outside of a movie here or there, so this will be a nice and welcomed trip. It'll be hard being away from the Monkey that long, but I think we can handle it. Besides, he's going to be at Grammie Murphy's all weekend, so I'm sure he'll have a blast. I'm getting excited!
