Some thoughts

It's been a week and a half since the wedding and I'm sitting down and reflecting on the whole experience. Above all, I couldn't have done a thing without my sisters, my parents, Anna, Mamaof2girls, meme, Maddie's godfadder, all my sister's attendants (aka: the adopted sisters), everyone. I truly felt like Adrian Grenier on Entourage and it was amazing!!! There aren't enough ways to convey how lucky I am to have such a wonderful group of people who love and take care of me and my family.

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!

There were times of bitchiness (duh!), craziness, nervousness, chaos, and above all else, overwhelmedness. I learned something about myself over the course of the wedding week...I get overwhelmed very easily when it comes to large numbers of people within my living space. My house is pretty decent sized and can hold people but I just get spazzed out...at least I know this now. It's good to know my faults. But no worries, nothing that a little mini-bottle can't fix...Miss Lucia was my saving grace on the overwhelmedness..."you need a shot"..."YES, YES I DO!!"

Overall, it was such a great day. The wedding was short,sweet, beautiful...totally love that we decided against a long mass. The reception kicked major ass...I had a blast. I just kept thinking, "I'm going to enjoy this. You wanna talk to me...come to me!!" Hell, it's not like I was hard to find considering the big white dress & veil!!! I have to say that for the day that supposed to be the best day of your life -- I had a beautifully perfect day!

Thank you Mom & Dad for my dream wedding!! Thank you Loud & Mariposa for being such wonderful big sisters and loving me even though I am a little shit. Thank you Mamaof2girls for still being my friend & knowing me so well. Thank you Meme for your constant source of support & AngryMean&Selfish for all the comic relief. Thank you 2.718, kneecoal, & Lucia for being such wonderful sister attendants and also for being such wonderful big sisters as well. I am such a lucky girl to have such wonderful people around me -- I wouldn't have been able to do this without ya'll.

WAHOO!!! The Mouse Rouse is official now...HOLY SHIT!!

Wise Words from ETK

I am personally going to use these words within my classroom. ETK puts it perfectly into words what I always want to relay to my students...personal responsibility & accountability.

So - the point here is personal responsibility. To me that means taking responsibility for your actions. What you do is not the fault of your parents, boss, financial situation, time limits etc. You are in charge of how you react to those things. You get to make a decision for every action you take. You get to choose to do what's right or wrong. You are in the driver's seat of your very own life.

Thank you ETK!!!

Quick post b/c I'm running out the door -- our house is surrounded by babies!!! Bird's nest with 6 eggs in the fern on the front patio & Reese discovered a bunny nest in the backyard. Too cute!!! The bunnies seem to be alright...not going to worry too much...just going to keep an eye out just in case. I did some research so I'm going to be the Bunny Watcher for the next little while to make sure our babies are ok!!! Too precious!!!

Sorry for the blurry pic...it's from the cell...
