It Happened in France: August 2011

It has been so long since I have posted!! A lot has happened in 2 months! Matt and I’s wedding went wonderfully! It was everything I dreamed it would be! We also got our engagement pictures taken, haha they were a little late, but at least we were able to get some! We had a lot of fun doing that. Karla, my mom’s friend took them for us! After we were done with our pictures my mom and dad met up with us and we took some Family pictures!

Matt had planned out honeymoon and it was a surprise, He told me during the ceremony! You know when the Bride and Groom does the unity candle/unity sand/ or in our case the Unity Cross and then they stand there during the song and talk? Well that is when he told me that we were going to San Antonio! I was so excited!! We had a blast! We stayed right on the River Walk, it was so beautiful! We went to Seaworld, I LOVED Seaworld! That night we ate with some friends that were going through San Antonio at Hard Rock Café, it was quite tasty, and it was fun to catch up! We and took a tour of a Cavern, it was really pretty, but so incredibly hot! It was I think they said in the 80’s with 99.9% humidity! We came out looking gross! On our way back from the Cavern (while I was taking a little nap hehe) Matt saw a restaurant called “Texas De Brazil” and told that he wanted to pick dinner and told me what it was and that he wanted to take me! Oh My Goodness, it was amazing!!! In Brazil they have this drink called “Guarana” and it’s a pop, kinda like sprite, but so much better! Luckily they ladies next to us had it setting on their table because I almost missed out on having it! After dinner we went see Cars 2! It was really good! On the last day we took a river boat tour, which was neat and interesting! We also went to the Alamo; it was nice to see, but not much to see. We checked out the big mall, and then headed home! We stopped at the Tanger Outlet Mall and then in Dallas we stopped and had Rainforest Café for dinner, Yummy!!! We had a great time!! We are hoping to go back in November, when we bought our tickets for Seaworld we had a coupon and we were able to get in for kids price and a second visit free, but it expires on January 1,2011 so we have to go soon if we can! And around Christmas they decorate, and from what I have read they have a “Polar Express” theme, and if you know anything about me you know that I LOVE Christmas and The Polar Express!! So I really hope that we are able to go! Since we have been married we have been just trying to get our apartment all in order. We cleared out our spare room for when my parents came down and brought us my bed for the spare room, but when they brought that they also brought the rest of my junk and we still have to go through that! Yuck! Someday (probably when we are moving out) we will get it all organized!

So I have a new obsession, Pinterest! Some of you may know what it is, I didn’t until Friday afternoon and I am already hooked! I love making things!! So it is right up my alley! Pinterest….let me try to explain it. When you become a member you are able to make these boards, which you pin pictures on….they have categories that you can look at that other pictures that people have pinned…my favorite section in DIY & Crafts! When you see something you like you can repin it to one of your boards…the pictures are usually from someone’s blog and you can click on the picture and it will take you to their blog where you then learn how to make whatever it is! Brilliant! You can also be browsing the internet and see on someone’s blog something you would like to have on your board, once you have downloaded the pin it button you can pin away! I haven’t yet tried that, but it sounds easy! So if you haven’t seen this amazing website, you should check it out…you don’t have to be a member to browse!!

Well I think that is all I have for this post! I’ll try not to wait 2 months to post again! Here are some of my favorite pictures from the Big Day!
