We are married!

On 9-12-09 we had the most beautiful wedding! It was perfect in every way! Now, we're on our honeymoon at Triple Creek Ranch in Montana and are having a blast!!!! Here is a video or two (if they work) of the helicopter tour we took today in the Montana Rockies.
And here are some teaser pics from our wedding and honeymoon! More to come in a couple weeks when things settle down!g

A little tribute to Bre's Dad

Today we took some time to drive to Quantico National Cemetery to visit Bre's dad's grave and leave some flowers...


It was a nice time, and the cemetery is so beautiful (I know it sounds weird to say that a cemetery is beautiful) but military cemeteries are so full of history and honor that it can be a beautiful thing.


Since we're getting married on what would be Bre's father's 69th birthday, we wanted to make sure we got to go down and pay our respects before our big day and his birthday. We hope he's smiling down on us and will be a good source of strength for Bre on her big day! I know she'll be missing him dearly, and there will be some bittersweet moments.

Here are some of the pictures I took while Bre was walking around...

We also know that Jim (bre's dad) was definitely smiling and laughing when we got back to the car and saw what our dog Mocha had gotten into...In the several minutes we spent outside of the car, Mocha had managed to bite about 80% through Bre's driver side seat-belt. Luckily, we have repaired it with heavy duty nylon thread and hours or sewing, but her little teeth are sharp! We were really mad, but had to laugh...because...well, life's too short not to!

After we yelled a little, the whole ride home she turned around like a little kid when daddy or mommy yells at the, and they are embarrassed. She faced the back of the car like this the 20 minute ride home...what a silly dog.

Anyway...it was a nice day! 5 more til our wedding day...crazy

Some recent pictures

Some funny pictures for you all!

Here are some pictures of the (amazing) concert last night (and a video too!) and some other pictures of the latest happenings.

Enjoy!

One week until the Rehearsal, 8 days until the BIG DAY!

Our last (dating) anniversary!

Today marks our 3 year anniversary! Next year, we'll be celebrating our first wedding anniversary! About 5 months ago, Matt bought me Jimmy Buffett tickets for his annual labor day concert in the DC area (the venue is only 6 miles from our house!) and it's tonight!

Ever since I was a kid, I've loved Jimmy Buffett--my parents and brother and sister were always fans, and I remember our road trips and summers spend on Seabrook Island in SC listening to Jimmy (who coincidentally has a house there as well). In fact, I remember in kindergarten, my teacher Mrs. Fallon asked all of us to draw a picture about our favorite song...and mine was "Cheeseburger in Paradise" by Jimmy Buffett and my picture (at 5 years old) was of a man in a light colored hawaiian shirt eating a big cheeseburger holding a margarita. All of my classmates had pictures of barnyards, nursery rhymes, kittens and dogs...I remember my teacher laughing and showing all the other teachers and they loved it!

I've been to a couple Buffett concerts, and they are the most amazing ones to go to. The people are friendly, funny, and there to have a good time. PLUS the outfits that some of them wear are hysterical! Matt bought his hawaiian shirt last month, and I have my sundress, lei, and coconut cup to drink from! With all of the wedding stress and 9 days to go--we can really use this night to unwind!

We'll take some pictures and definitely post some pics tomorrow!

Changes

Hello everyone this is Matt. Sorry it's been so long since we have updated the blog, but thing's have been a little hectic. I don't know how many of you know this, but I was laid off of work about 2 weeks ago. Not really the greatest thing to happen when your planning a wedding.

Well, turns out that it was a blessing in disguise. I have had more time to get things ready for the wedding, and to spend with my beautiful bride-to-be. Oh yeah, Mocha really loves it to. We are almost completley set with the wedding, just a couple of tiny things left to solidify. We are both getting pretty excited, and Mocha has no idea what is going on.

The big day is getting close, and we are just counting down the days. Well until next time, and I promise it won't be that long, so long.
