There has been a wedding...

...And it was mine!!!

Where do I start? I guess first let me apologize. It has been a few crazy weeks. But the crazy has died down. The wedding was a blast and my husband, yep husband, husband, husband.. one more time and you'll believe me? HUSBAND and I are in newlywed bliss, while living everyday the same as we did before the wedding. Only now we say husband and wife A LOT.


The weekend went to quickly. And I loved every second of it; we started the festivities on Thursday October 22,2015. My in-laws live in florida, We wanted to have a less formal welcome to PA, lets all get to know each other a little better before the wedding party. It was a lot of fun, it started the weekend off on the right foot. We were all comfortable in each others company and there was no awkwardness ( is that a word? it is now..). My uncle was in town for our wedding also. Thursday was a hit and like i said started the weekend off on a good foot.

Friday we got off to a poor start. The battery in my car died, and we were running behind. It all worked out. We jumped the car, Bret was able to get to his parents and we were able to get to the venue to decorate. It turned the day around. Once we were done decorating i had a super migraine which was awesome. And went to get our toes done. Fast forward 2 hours and a cat nap we had our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner.  Grabbed some pictures before we all left.

Now as you all know,  I am a proud mother to the most wonderful little boy in the entire world. My son, Mr, Magoo decided to wake up at 4:30 the morning of my wedding. Yep, 4:30. I was ready to go. I wrote out my vows I made sure all the bags were packed and then we were on our way. To be honest the day TOOK FOREVER, until it didn't anymore. We stopped to get my flowers and headed to my best friends hotel room to get ready. 

It was good times, laughs and a calming relaxing place to be before my wedding. (These are just randoms from before during and after)

We had a trolley, we had fun, we cried a little and laughed a lot!

Bret walked Magoo down the Aisle


My Big Brother (I dont know waht I would do without him) walked me down the aisle...



Then we said I do, and of course kissed!!

From there it was picture time and our photographers were amazing! I loved them. there was a photo booth and booze. We all had a great time... We raised the bar pretty high as far as weddings go. We planned a great party!

I had the best wedding, it was more than I could have ever imagined it to be. And now I am married to my best friend. I am going sign off with one of my favorite pictures of the night. It was impromptu, we were cleaning up and there was whistling and yelling.....Mam would have been proud....

(Im old and married now.. its still sinking in)
Until Next Time....

I had...

... A really good post.

It was, it was about how I don't know what do to get magoo to sleep through the night. But then I realized. This Mommy monday trend turns to what I am doing wrong as a mom.

Instead I wanted to take a break at what I need to work on as a mom and share a story about an experience I had at a resturaunt.

Bret Magoo and  I went to lunch yesterday. We went to a sports bar and grille so that we could get something to eat and Bret could watch some football. Now they were relatively busy being sunday and the eagles were playing. We were seated and orders were taken. Now I have a 1 year old. He has a short attention span keeping him happy and playing sometimes in a restaurant is a challenge. But we were doing pretty good. He was coloring we were waiting on our food. Once our meal came out he instantly took Bret's fries. Then saw I was dipping my fries in ketchup (yep im a dipper.. for everything)  So naturally he wanted to try it, Which I allowed. Of course as my luck would have it, the tvs all go out for literally a minute. thats it and of course that's when Magoo decides mommy is not cool for stopping the party he was having with the ketchup.

Let me stop here, I have younger sister and brother. They are 18 and 15 years younger than me . I know how it is to be out with kids and they have a melt down. If this has never happened to you, then you are from a different planet. I digress...

If it wasn't bad enough that magoo was screaming because i was wiping him off the only two tables by us who also had kids at them proceed to turn around and not only stare at us but shoot me dirty looks almost like "omg i cant believe you let your kid scream like that". I was embarrassed. Not because my kid screamed. He is 1, that is his way of communication. But because those people who i'm sure have been in our shoes chose to stare at us instead of going on with their lunch.

I just don't understand why that is the reaction they choose to have. Just ignore us. I know its hard but he didn't scream the whole time it was once because I stopped the ketchup party. Its not like you are missing the game. The tv was jacked up.

I can honestly say I have never shot a mom with a infant/toddler a dirty look. And its happened to me. They apologized and i told them not to even worry about it. And I am not that nice of a person.

I guess this was a vent to those people. You sucked in that moment when I was trying to calm down my toddler with your judgy looks.

Put your self in someone elses shoes for just a minute. You would want a little understanding.

Until next time..
