We did it!!

So it's official.. WE'RE MARRIED!!! Whew! What a wonderful past few weeks it has been. Everything went by so fast that I feel like it was a dream.  It was so nice to be home for a week and get to visit with my friends and family.  You forget how much you miss everyone until you are there with them. I definitely miss all my girlfriends and my lovely mommy!!  That week at home was so hectic.. I went NONSTOP everyday.  Luckily I had 5 days home before Lance came, because he would not have had a good time in my crazy planning mode. 

I am happy to say everything went PERFECT for the wedding. Yes, crazy list lady pulled it off!! The one thing that wasn't ideal and that I had no control over.. the weather!!! Of course it decided to be 80's all week and then 2 days before the wedding- BAM! freezing!! Thank goodness the sun came out on Saturday.  The wind made it very cold, but we had sun and that was all I needed to keep my plans the same.  I must say, the cold did help take away all of my nerves. I was so focused on not violently shaking throughout the ceremony, that I really didn't have time to think about anything else! haha I did hear that my lovely bridesmaid, Lauren, was the only one out of us girls that wasn't trembling. Good job! :) Hey, at least it's a day no one will forget!! 

The reception was a BLAST. I have not danced that much in ages!! And goodness, I never knew that Lance was such a dancing machine.  We both had an amazing time, and if I do say so myself, it was one of the best weddings I have ever been too! hehe  It will for sure be a day we will never forget. 

I want to thank everyone who helped so much in the planning and events.. especially my wonderful mother, my grandma Sharon and aunt Katherine for their amazing job with the rehearsal dinner, and of course my four best friends who stood by my side as my bridesmaids- Lexie, Kristen, Amy, & Lauren.  I loved every single event that went into that week and will cherish all of the memories forever.  I am so lucky to be able to have such amazing friends, especially now that we are 11 hours apart. (Thanks a lot, Lance!)  Now in less than 6 months it will be Lauren's turn, and I will get to help with HER big day!! :)  I hope everyone isn't too sick of my wedding Facebook posts and pictures-  I promise it will eventually settle down! 

What's next on my list? Adjusting back into "normal" life of work and see where this married road takes us!
