NO!! Not yet!! I can't believe I've kept it a secret for so long! I really have no plan for telling him. We'll see if he spots it on the ME tags in the next couple of days.

I am a little suspicious that he might know, either by reading my PTR without me knowing or a friend of his that I told may have forgotten and told him...but I really hope he doesn't know and that it's a true surprise. Although the other day, he was like, "Wilderness Lodge, I'm so excited!!" Maybe he was just trying to throw me off. If he does know, he's probably wondering when I'm going to tell him!!

I tell them to put their laundry away and they say 3 flags, no fun. Then one of them will say playing outside, 6flags MORE FUN then sing the song (we like to party by the venga boys LOL)

[PopArtGal]

But will you tell him on the plane?

Or in line for DME?

But isn't it the same line?

 

[PopArtGal]

YEs it is!

If he doesn't see the DMe tag you can be alright!

NO WAY!!!!!!!! That's awesome!! Thanks Christy!! A long time ago I was thinking it might be the same line then I just forgot about it because I figured it probably wasn't. YAY!!!

So as of right now, I'm going to wait until the last possible second, like when the bus pulls up to the Poly and I get out!!

 

[PopArtGal]

HEY!! I'm back!!! We had an AWESEOME vacation and with a mini-trip planned for October, we didn't even feel too sad about coming home!!!

As soon as I can see my apartment again through all this laundry, I will start my official TR. I have over 1100 pictures over the past two weeks, and that doesn't even include pics from the wedding!! I also have 108 photopass pics that I need to go through and made the book and put in the order for that and the cd.

When I turned my phone back on after the cruise, I got a message from the wedding photographer that my pictures are ready to be picked up! I also want to transfer my vaca pics onto a CD asap because I have this fear that I'm going to somehow lose all my pictures...which are AWESEOME, by the way.

I have pics of almost every meal we've eaten, pics of me with all the Disers I met and of course, the famous "arm out" technique pics that I have mastered to get a pic of the both of us. I was even able to do some with some great backgrounds.

Okay, Big Brother After Dark is now on a three hour loop in my living room....time to get started. Be back (hopefully) soon with a link to a TR.

Okay, okay, since my sister already has her pics from my wedding on snapfish, I can share some of those now! I'm concerned about the transition from PRE TR to actual TR so I will post some of them here to give you a little tease and then more in the actual TR!!

Okay, I woke up early on the 18th and I had surprisingly slept well. It was nice that my sister was in the bed with me and one of my bridesmaids was on the floor so we had some nice chit chat in the morning.

We needed to be at the hair place at 9:00 and the make-up place at 10. Here's me getting my hair done.

The smile was a little forced because we were running late on time. It was about 10:30 by the time we got to make up and the photographer was going to be at the house at noon. (That is what was going through my mind in this picture.)

I LOVED how my hair came out! It was so ME!

After makeup, we got back to the house a little after 12. The photographer was there but at that point, I was not concerned with us being late for her. SORRY! Can't please everyone today, just gotta go with whatever happens.

We all got dressed and the most adorable baby you've ever seen somehow was even cuter than ever! My niece, Emma, who just turned a year old on July 9th, was my flower girl.

Here is my sister with Emma.

By this time, I got dressed and the photographer was already starting to piss me off. After I had my dress on, she asked me to lay on the bed for a picture. Um, first of all, this is my mother's bed and why would I lay on a bed in my wedding dress?? Ohhhh, you're the artsy fartsy kind of photographer....sorry, but I'm not! I LOVE pictures, as you will see from the over 1100 I took on vacation, but I don't like made up pictures, I like "fun, in the moment, smile the camera" pictures.

So I told her, no I'm not laying on the bed. Strike 1 Doreen! She took a few pics going down the stairs and we got into the living room for family pics.

So I get next to my mom and she tells us to face each other and hold each others hands. Uhhhhhh....can't we just look at the camera and smile? I told her I was not comfortable with that. Strike 2 Doreen! By the time she told my mom to wrap her arms around me and hold me like she did when I was a baby, I lost it!!! I think my exact words were "YOU HAVE TO STOP!" I was very upset and had a shaky "I'm about to cry" voice. She sort of said, "Well I don't know what to do with you then" and I suggest "how about I look at the camera and smile."

I'm sure a lot of people LOVE her photoshoot style, feeling like a model for a day but I am NOT a model and don't want to play the role of a bride, I just want to be the bride that I am. Does that make sense?

So after the mini-freak out, she really did back off a lot and consulted with my bridesmaids on any shot she was unsure if I would go for or not.

If you want to see more pics from the wedding you HAVE to read my official TR!!!!!!!!!
