That's me!! I'm officially a Mrs.! I never thought that would actually happen, but lo and behold.....I'm married!! Just a quick side note -- when I was single I genuinely thought/felt that if I just had a husband, things really would all be better, feel better in my life. The majority of my problems/unmet desires would go away. Hear me say this, single friends: THAT IS A LIE FROM SATAN!!! I'm way new into this marriage thing, but even in our engagement that statement was a lie. Maybe I'll blog about that topic at a later date, but I don't want my single friends to think that everything became all peaches and cream the moment we said "I do."

this blog post.....
Planning and prepping for our wedding was a serious full-time job. I am SOO beyond glad that part is over. But I'm a little sad that the
wedding itself is over. I looked at Michael the day after and said, "Our wedding is over. We're never going to get to do that again!" Bittersweet.
I'm anxiously waiting for our wedding pics and video to be edited, so I have virtually nothing to share with you from the actual day. All I have are a few pics from some cell phones:

We had a photo booth at the wedding (SO MUCH FUN!!!). These are always funny pictures.

When I get my official pictures, I'll be sure to share them! I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!
What I do have, though, are pictures from our honeymoon! We spent our wedding night in Kansas City at the Westin Crown Center. BEAUTIFUL!! Michael took pictures of our suite.

Sunday we went to return Michael's tux and went to my parents' house to open presents. And then Monday morning we headed to the airport! We stayed at the El Dorado Royale Casitas just south of Cancun. It was, quite literally, paradise.

We had a swim-up suite like this. Our room connected to the lazy river! |

We had "love birds" waiting for us when we arrived. |

With our honeymoon package we had a candlelight dinner on the beach.....
Then we came back to our room with this wonderful turn-down surprise!
Getting ready for the beach....
These nasty things were all over the place! Thankfully, they didn't ever jump in the water. I might have lost it if they did!
These guys were everywhere, too. Michael's goal was to pick up a lizard on our trip....not sure how that worked out for him...
All in all.....a pretty darn amazing honeymoon. :-)
