The wedding was beautiful! Heidi was beautiful! The location was great, the weather was great! Ted and Sandy looked so happy. :) Lots of tears, poor Chris, I didn't think he was going to make it. It makes me tear up just thinking about it.


The kids are in Orlando with my parents and my nephew. Brad and I have another wedding tonight to go to. We are going to stay up in Loveland overnight with my brother and SIL. Then tomorrow come home and pack. Monday we are taking off for Corpus Christie for a few days. It will be really nice to get away. I can't wait for the beach. :cool1:
 
They did it.....Heidi and Chris are married. What a gorgeous ceremony. The location couldn't have been better. So many tears. Wonderful.
And don't forget that the weather was perfect. This time of year you just don't know what to expect at that time of day but the sky was a beautiful blue with only a few clouds.

Also, the bride was stunning, as was her mother, and the groom was overcome with emotion. The only other groom I know who got that choked up at his own wedding was...me.

We certainly were pleased to be involved and really enjoyed spending the evening with Cristi and Brad. Tammy was just a little disappointed that she wasn't feeling up to dancing. The kids more than made up for it though; they were all adorable and were very enthusiastic dancers. And who would have guessed that Ted was so good at The Electric Slide?

Hope you are taking it easy today, Sandy.

Awwww that is so sweet. I am choking up thinking about it. I really wish I could have been there and thought about y'all a lot last night.
 
We were thinking about you and Selena too Marci. I had a rum drink with cranberry and pineapple in it just for you. :)
 

Thank you for such kind words. Hopefully, I can get some pictures to Heidi soon so she can post. Chris's family is still here so we aren't seeing Heidi so it will be done in a few days. They went river running yesterday and we took a drive up to Pikes Peak with our DISboard friends from NJ.

Hey Cristi, that's not fair. I didn't get any drinks with cranberry and pineapple juice in it. People were so nice surprising me with drinks. I never had to order one. I did have coke and malibu though. Well, let's say a sip here and a sip there. I had so many drinks that disappeared. I would get a drink and all of a sudden Emily or Amanda would haul me off somewhere or the photographer would chase you down or.......the list keeps going. I kept losing my drinks. LOL No Jrsy, I didn't have to many where I lost track of them!! One of them was in the Brides room where the girls had access. I had a few sips and then when I went back in for it, it was pretty much GONE! Then one I put one on the cheese table to bend over to talk to Tyler. I was told to go outside so I quickly ran out and forgot my drink. Right on the appetizer table. I felt so bad.

Off to the shower. Bye
 
Oh man I just made this big post and now it is gone.

I have been having computer issues.

This is the first time I have been able to be on.

Everyone was in my thoughts, especially Heidi and Chris.

I cannot wait to see pictures.

Cristi thanks for honoring me with your drink.

Jrsy what did you end up wearing to the wedding? lol

Sandy, I know you are able to finally sit back and be relaxed now.

Marice, I am proud of you. I think you are being very brave on going back to school.

Love you all!!

My cold is finally getting some better.

Only 5 more days of work to go. Woo Woo.

I am suppose to work on Friday as a CT day but I am thinking twice about it now. I am going to talk with my Principal to see if I can use some overtime thatI get at the beginning of each school year verse working this Friday. I really do not have much work to do but was going to find something to do.

Since it was outdoors, I was afraid I might be too warm in the orange ensemble or too chilly in the black ensemble, so I went with a simple shirt and tie. Hopefully nobody got pictures because I don't want anyone to have proof that I wore a tie. Only for Heidi...
 
At 5 o'clcok I am on vacation until next Monday. :thumbsup2 We are leaving for Houston tomorrow. I plan on taking a lot of pics, so hopefully I will have something to post. I went to the beach yesterday and didn't get home until late. I'm thinking maybe I should have stayed home and packed. Gotta do it all tonight. :scared1:
 
My last day of work is Thursday. I am coming in a couple of days next week for the comp time I need for my cruise in November. Otherwise I have the summer off until the 3rd week in August. Of course I do not get paid but I have that worked out. Not so sure about next year though. lol Might have to find myself a job next summer.
 
Hi guys, my first day to take a deep breath and relax. All my Jrsy company went home yesterday. Poor Ted had to go to work. I believe Heidi goes back tomorrow. On Friday, we have another wedding to attend.
 
I am sure everyone is glad to breath now.

Hot Hot Hot day here. Close to the 100's. It has been this way for 2 weeks with no rain. They finally said we might get some thunderstorms today. I am hoping they are nice ones and we get plenty of rain. We have never been taken off of the drought status from last year.
 
Jrsy and Cristi - thank you so much for coming and for your kind words. It was so great to see you. Tammy looked amazing, she is such a strong person, she amazes me.

Poor Chris, I didn't think he would make it through the ceremony, he was crying so bad. He said he saw me on the side of the building and lost it and couldn't compose himself through the entire ceremony. I luckily had his brother making funny faces at me the entire time so I didn't cry that much!

Okay so before the ceremony it seems like everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong!! The ceremony was suppose to start at 6:00, but the flowers were just arriving at that time when they were suppose to be delivered at 4:30. The flower lady had the day wrong, she thought June 6th was Saturday and not Friday. Before she came, some of my family and Chris's family were headed to the grocery store to get flowers to make a bouquet so at least I would have one. We had to take all my before pictures without flowers. Then when she came, nothing was put together so she was making stuff from her van. She was suppose to set up and arrange the centerpieces, but some of the guests had to. She told Chris we would get a full refund, but then sent me an email saying she would give us half back, so Chris is going to talk with her.

Then after stressing about the flowers, I found out that the cake wasn't there. The Cake had been delivered to the wrong place, but it arrived about the same time the flowers did.

After that everything went off great. It was very busy and like people warned me, it went very fast and is like a big blur! Everyone at work has been commenting on what fun they had and that we had a lot of great personal touches that we added to the wedding.

I will post more in detail when I get some time to breathe!

On Saturday we all went white water rafting, it was a lot of fun but cold. Everyone had a blast. No one went swimming and everyone stayed in the boat.

Sunday was the zoo and we spent all day there. I am use to spending a few hours there so I didn't put on sunscreen, but found out when you stay all day you get burned!!! We were there from opening to closing.

Monday we went horseback riding. The ride went great, we had a 1.5 hour ride. When we got back to the stable, the scariest experience happened. There was 12 of us that went, everyone but Amanda and Chris's sister Karen was off their horses. Emily and Chris's niece Rachel were saying goodbye to their horses when a horse that was tied to the same hitching post as their horses got spooked and reared up, of course scaring the other two horses tied up to the same hitching posts. All three horses were rearing up and broke the huge log off the hitching post. All the horses freaked out and some took off running while the other 3 horses where running all tied up together freaking out. I grabbed Amanda's horse so it wouldn't take off running with her on it, when I saw Rachel in the middle of the three horses that were tied together, Rachel got bumped and was on the ground. It was terrifying to see her out there. Chris's brother ran to get her while Chris grabbed his knife so the wrangler could cut the horses free. We first thought the horses stepped on her because she was screaming in pain, but later discovered it was the log that hit her foot. She kept asking who was pushing her to Jerry (Chris's brother) but there was no one out there as Emily ran when the whole thing started to happen, so we all believe it was her guardian angel pushing her to safety. She is doing better today, but still can't put much pressure on her foot.
 
Here are a few teaser pictures until I get my stuff in order!
