It was so beautiful

I wish I had picture after picture on my camera of the wedding, but you'll have to wait until I'm given pics from family that the photog gave. For now, just some random shots throughout the weekend. No doubt tons of the kiddo's!

The wedding was absolutely amazing. The stage sounded more like a funeral with all the crying, but I later found out you couldn't hear us even on the first row. Thank goodness! But taking one look at me you could see how caught up I was in the moment. I love weddings. Even before my own, there was just something about the magic of that day. Once I experienced that for myself I think it's safe to say my emotions somewhat explode when I attend a wedding now. I choked up watching my Father-in-Law and new Brother fight back tears and swallow big lumps in their throats the entire service. Wow, that was tough.

Cheers to the happy couple!

WEIGH-IN #22 the finale

I technically reached goal folks. What I do from here on out, is unknown. I have bird legs again, no butt, still a little thick in the middle....just some areas to work on. But I'm sure no matter how many daily points I get to add on in my new "WW MAINTENANCE" it will not add any fat to my poor little legs.

I had to do my weigh-in at my Mother-n-law's today. She says her scale is off, which from what I recall it's always been accurate or close to mine. I've only had to use it once for you.

I was 115, so I decided to go with 116. I'm clothed and have eaten. I figured that was fair. I logged it in WW and aparently I need to see a doctor again! hahaha.

So "goal" here we are! I'm really proud! I've learned a LOT, and have had fantastic support from Evan this entire time. Unbelievable support. He lost some sympahty inches I think! I also cooked my low fat meals for him. :-P

So no more weigh-in's on here, so I hope it's not a ghost town while work is too busy for posting pics. I'm going to do my best to get on and tell stories about those crazy kids.

It's time to start the wedding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All in the same sentence....

The words WEDDING, JACLYN, and TOMORROW can now all be found in the same sentence! Doesn't matter how you word it, isn't that just freaking crazy?! I feel like Jaclyn had a longer engagement than me but the truth is it was like 1/3 of what I had. Maybe it's just more details, bigger wedding, more planning! Wowswers!

Tomorrow is the Bachlorette party and Oliver and I will be flying up there! This is also a big day for the big boy because he will be on his first flight. I hope his ears are okay! If not, he'll be spouting out all kinds of explitives in spanish, I won't understand any of this. :-)

Can't wait!

P.S.....remember how I was nervous about the size 8? well it fit, then it was too big, got the 6...and even it's roomy! Go me!...but i refused to get a 4! There isn't enough time, plus target will hate me for returning FOUR dresses now. How rediculous. (good for me, a pain for them)

the oddest gift

I spotted the UPS truck from my kitchen window and quickly ran to the front door. He was gone before I even had the package in my hand, and he even had time to knock. It is, after all, the busiest month of the year for them.

I was excited when I saw my name on the package but noticed it was from amazon.com so I figured I ordered something online, probably for the wedding, that I had forgotten. But what was in that package was not at all an accessory for my hair, or pretty chain for my neck, or any such thing! It was the most perplexing sight. Was this a gift? was it a joke? "Evan did you buy this? It says Amazon?".... Total confusion clouded us! Scissors! Just so happens they were the same type of scissors that went missing from our kitchen weeks back. I thought, who on earth knew they were gone? Maybe someone knew and wanted to replace them. I hate to publicly admit this...but scissors are missing in your house for weeks and you have a 14 month old running around, and worse, a 4 year old...... I had some concern there.

We was just so bewildered, though. I had to think harder on this. Thinking out loud I told Evan I did at least have an Amazon.com account, which is the same as a Target.com account, but my last purchase or return were the many sizes of bridesmaid dresses.

"That's It!" he exlaimed! "You must have left the scissors in the box when you returned the larger dress, and now they're returning the scissors back to us.

I had a little guilt and denial at first, but we both just laughed it off and gave a big welcoming (distant) hug to the scissors. We'll never let them out of our sight again.

WEIGH-IN #21

Aside from looking 6 months pregnant today, I have actually lost again. But then I do bounce up to 121 quite easily. My birth control, aka MIRENA MONSTER, which is getting evicted Monday, is causing weight gain and severe bloating. I'm having to work twice as hard now at this and there isn't much I can do for the bloating. Did I mention the discomfort of the bloating? It's not just the appearance of looking like I'm second trimester here!

Anyhow: 118.4! ....or was it lying? I also got a 118.8 and 119.2.

My scale is tempermental and I step on it several times until I get the same reading more than once.
